sgPreme Courts Decisions I'm Favor
Of Big Railroads
The Supreme Court to-day rendered the
following DECISIONS Wccdsoh ct al. vs..
Mundock ct a.; appeal from the Circuit
Court Tor the District Of Mississippi. This
was the proceeding on the part of the
proper officers of the State to enforce an
alleged lien on the property Of the Pacific
Railroad Company, arising from certain
advances made by the State 70 aid in the
completion Of the read. The decree below
was in favor Of The company, awarding an
injunction to restrain further proceedings,
and It is here affirmed. :
The State of Maryland vs.. the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company. The points
in this case have been several times stated.
The State claimed balance of interest to be
due from the company, equal to the differ
enee between gold and legal tenders at the
dates on which certain payments we're
made. The company asserted that there
was no contract for payment in gold, and
it was so decided below. This view is af-
6Tuied here, the count saying that there is
no just ground for the implication that the
company assumed to pay its dues to the
State in gold or in any other money gene
rally, and the fact that the company did
pay the State interest in sterling funds in
London down to 1866, cannot change the
construction of the contract.
