The Potter Law.
MILWAUKEE, September 22.-In the
Supreme Court at Madison, to-day,
motion was argued for an injunction to
compel the Prairie du Chen division of
the Milwaukee, & st. Paul railroad To
obey the Potter law. This division was
excepted from the recent injunction for
the reason that it had an old territorial
charter which was not subject TO the pro-
vision in the State Constitution, rCscrying
the right to alter or repeal general act
passed by the Territorial Legislature in
1899, which has since then been discovered,
containing exactly the same provision that
was afterwards incorporated in the State
Constitution. The Court reserved It's de-
cision until the 29th, but no doubt is ex-
pressed that the injunction will be issued.
