WARRINGTON.
Protection In AIissIssippi.

WAsHINGroN, December 2O.-Collector
Shaughnessy, Of Mississippi, having re-
ported to Commissioner Pratt that Depu-
ty Collector Redman was prevented by
armed bands from discharging his duties
and that the Mayor Of Summit, Pike
county, had notified him to leave as hc
and the other peace officers could not pro.
teCt him, the President to-day sent an or.
der to the Secretary Of War to furnish
the necessary protection,
IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Attorney General has given the de-
Cision that Sl7G,00O collected as income
tax on dividends Of stock held by non.
residents and aliens, illegally collected
from the Illinois Central Railroad Com.
pRny, should be returned to the company,
and not to the stockholders. He says the
Government uplawfully exaCtcd money
from The railroad company, and ii should
be paid back to the company from which
II was unlawiully taken. The nOn.resi.
dent and alien stockholders can recover
Il OF the company, and II will be no de.
tense Tor the company to plead that their
negligence, ignorance, delay or other lille.
gal acts have lost the money. The
right Of the railroad company to the re.
payment Of the money which II paid the
under an illegal exaction
does not depend on whether It has first
paid the money TO the stockholders. The
government cannot by unlawful demands
deprive trustee Of the money which he
holds in trust for another, and when ask.
ed to repay II insist that tic trustee must
first pay the money which the govern.
nent has. II 1t appears on adjustment
that the government has already paid
back part Of this money to the stock
holders lawfully entitled to the same, 40
much can be deducted and the balance
paid over to the road.

THE ATTACK OF THE " SCIENTISTS.

lately published in New York, With an introduc
ton by Rev. DIR. Bellows. 1t is pronounced by
some of the English critical journal the keeness
analysis OF Tyndall and lis school that has yet
appeared, and one of its leading expressions es-
pecaly challenges our attention. The Doctor
declares that "the exclusive pretension, long
"set up by theology, o dominate the whole

their absorption in universal material en-
"pire appears to me pressing need alike FOR
true philosophy and for the tutme of human

This transfer of dogma authority from The
olo6y to Science, is what reasonable people may
well object to. After protesting against it from
the days Of Calico it is scarcely modest or fair
for the scholars aud scientists, now that they
have proved the world does move, to aight-
