ayUNCTION AGAINST PAYING OUT MONEY FOR
THE SUPPORT OF NEGRO MILITIA
In MISSISSIPPI.

JACKSON, Sept. 23.-An injunction was
gnnted to-day by Chief Justice Peyton (Re
publican) restraining the Auditor from pay
ing ont money to support the militia Gov.
Ames proposes to call out Ames, after stat
ing in his reply to the Attorney General that
the organization of negro troops would be
sikely to produce war of races, and the or
ganization of whites alone be Intellectual was
proceeding to muster into active service a
regiment of each, with the view as claimed by
shs petitioners for the injunction, to produce
q conflict.
The injunction is based on the acknow-
ledged fact that perfect peace and order pre-
walls throughout the State, and that the mus
sering of militia into service was but creating
n standing army of State troops, in violation
Of the Constitution. The injunction does
mot interfere in the least with the power OF
the Governor to call out militia to suppress
disorders should any occur, but only pre-
ssnts the Governor getting the State funds
20 keep troops in time of peace and when
ahere are no disorders to suppress.
The offers heretofore made to the Governor
by the citizens to aid in forcing law and order,
though never accepted by him, have never
been withdrawn, and the citizens are still
willing should occasion offer to render all the
needed aid.

GRANTS NEXT MESSAGE.
A RoSE-CoLoRED VIEW OF THE SITUATION ANB
WHAT HE WILL SAY TO CONGRESS
ABOUT 1T.

Long Branch Dispatch to Boston Telegraph
There is good authority for saying that
President Grant is well pleased with the
present political outlook. For the past few
days the President has abandoned the reti-
cence for which he is usually remarkable and
has not hesitated to express his views of
present events freely among his friends
Under all circumstances, President Grant
believes the people will be compelled to re-
cognize the Democratic party as the party of
inf alton and reputation, and the Republican
party as the friend Of resumption and of the
preservation of the national honor and credit
The issue of next years campaign, says the
President, is already made, and has been
chosen blythe Democracy.
In his message to Congress, when Demo-
cratic House of Representatives will have the
privilege of considering his recommendations,
he will set forth as strongly as he possibly
can the depressed and suffering condition Of
the business and commerce of the nation,
and will direct attention to the necessity of
taking measures to establish the currency On
sound basis by preparing for resumption
under the existing law in 1879, to which he
will say we alone can look for restoration of
confidence and credit and a revival of trade.
He will enlarge upon the necessity of in
creasing the national revenues as prelimin-
airy to assumption. He will to that end re-
commend the restoration of the duty on tea
and coffee, by the abolition of which the gov
eminent has lost from 500, 600, 900 to 1926, 000,-
600 year without any benefit to the con-
sumner; the taxation of all articles of foreign
manufacture, and probably the abolition of
the entire free list.
In addition. the President will probably
suggest such an amendment of the legal
tender act as will require the payment of all
internal revenue duties in gold, as a further
provision for resumption. The Presiden
will make it clear in his message to Congress
that he intends to practically carry out the
duty imposed upon the government by the
resumption act, by proceeding to contract the
present greenback issue to the limit allowed
by law. Upon this point, more than any
other, he relies for the support of the mon
eyed interests of the country in the Repub-
can Presidential Convention.

THE VARIETIES THEATER.
A GRAND ENTERTAINMENT.


The entertainment given at the Varieties
Theater last night was the grandcst ovation
ever witnessed in our city. From 6 O'Clock
in the evening until long after the curtain
rose, there was one continuous throng o,
visitors seeking admission into the thester
and many were compelled to leave, not being
able to find even standing room.
From pit to dome the theatcr was literally
packed, every seat being occupied and every
space where one could stand was filed. There
we're fully two thousand people in the house,
the largest audience ever gathered in its
walls.
1t was one grand, glorious burst of enthu.
siasm and charity from our citizens to honored
benefciaries; they had gathered together to
aid those whom they delight to honor, and
right royalty did they exhibit their esteem and
respect.
The programme was a varied one, we'll
suited to the season of the year and the
| various tastes of the auditors. Music and
comedy were the principal features, and their
Interpretation had indeed been entrusted to
worthy hands. The farce of the "Two Buz.
yards" served to bring out in favorite part
our talented amateur, Mr.. W. H. Beanham,
who succeeded in intensely amusing his au-
dience by his rendition of the humorous
character of John Small
Mr.. Thayer's recitation of "The Wounded
Soldier" was grand effort and received its
need of praise in the loud applause with
which it was received.
The violin solo of Marks Kaiser was mas
terly effort and evidenced charitable natural
talent aided by thorough training His music
fairly charmed his listeners, and the raptur
GUS applause which followed its conclusion
betokened the appreciation of those whose
good fortune it was to hear him.
Equally successful was Mr.. Levain In his
flute solo. The sweet strains of "Home
Sweet Home were made doubly sweet by
his artistic skill, and to him belongs fair
share of the honors of the evening.
Messrs. Thayer and James were seen to
great advantage in the amusing farce of
"Box and Cox" This was to these gentle
men reawakening OF old memories, as they
had played it together years ago, when both
we're members of the old Testimonies. Both
being excellent actors, the farce was perfect
success
After short intermission the curtain rose
on a camp scene, and there on the stage, scat
tered in regular camp style, laid the members
of the famous battalion of Washington Artil-
lery. The rousing old chorus of "Upide" was
led by Mr.. McEIroy and enthusiastically joined
in by all the members. The scene being
closed, Mr.. H. Dudley Coleman came out on
the stage in the uniform of a Southern soldier,
and in song related "Stonewall Jackson's
Way" the chorus being sung by voices behind
the scenes
The entertainment concluded with three
beautiful tableaux suggested by vision de-
scribed by the bugler OF the battalion, Mr.. de
Villasana, as it appeared to him while asleep
at Camp Walton, Va
This ended this remarkable entertainment,
and the vast audience slowly poured out of
the theater we'll satisfied with what they had
seen and the good work of charity they had
wrought:

Then and NOWa
From the Indianapolis Sentinel. ]

From the Indianapolis bentinel.J
eyes," said Bro. Wiley, "when I went
into the ministry forty five years ago it was a
common custom with us each Sunday to drag
out the emaciated body of Lazarus, and show
the congregation the beautiful reward of pow
erty and suffering, and how much easier it was
for camel to pass through the eye of needle
than for rich man to enter the kingdom of
heaven. But the congregations have grown
rich-and now the ministers have concluded
that Lazarus is so nicely fixed away in the
bosom of Abraham that they won't disturb
the poor old fellow. That's why you don't
hear from him nowadays, and the camel and
needle story isn't mentioned, and the old
man walked away signing that the good old
rule of ''the Lord keep you humble and we'll
keep you poor, is not applied to the reverend
gentlemen who spend the heated season al
the fashionable resorts of the country.

permanently retired, and legal tenders be
ISSUED in their place.
