The Russellville Democrat., 1876-02-10
ABSTRACT.

Tn the absence of constitutional provisions, the state may exempt from taxation any property what ever, and such an exemption in D railroad charter is contract which the state cannot afterwards violate either by sta ute or by change in it's constitution.
 An illegall levy of a tax upon exempted property of a railroad. might not, of itself, afford ground flor an injunction, but the allega- tion of danger of stopping it's trains and business makes a case not easily estimated and compen- sated in damages, and aL injunc- tion may issue.
 Decree affirmed.
 NO. 8. State vs. Anderson. Appeal from
 Nevada county.
 Anderson was indicted for card playing on sunday, in several counts, all naming some game. The witnesses for the state could not recollect the name of the game. Under instructions from the court, the defendant was ac- quilted and the state appealed English, C. j., delivered the opin- ion.
 ABSTRACT.
 Where thing necessary to be in an indictment is de- scribed with undue particulerity, it must be proved as described, and so in ah indictment for play ing cards on Sunday, the name of the game need not be stated, but if it is, it must De proved.
 The ruling of the court below was in harmony with this and the judgment is affirmed.

F. NJ. Chrisman ct al. vs. Thos. J. Rogers, administrator.
 Rogers sued Craftsman, as one of the securities of a defendant in an attachment, on 9 bond to re- lease the property. The attach ment ease before the magistrate was adverse to the defendant, who appealed to the circuit court, and there Judgment was rendered against him and his securities on the appeal bond. This suit was the original bond. Judg- ment on demurrer for plaintiff. Chrisman appealed. Opinion by Judge Walker.
 ! ABSTRACT.
 The original securities on this attachment bond were not releas- ed by the judgment against the principal and securities on appeal, nor was it necessary, before suing them, to take out execution on the latter judgment. The first is not merged. This case, differs from a judgment on stay, or de- livery bond. m
 Although it is the duty of q judge, sitting as jury, to reduce to writing his finding of facts, the neglect to Go so is not fatal. 1t may be done after judgment.
 Judgment affirmed.

AN ONLY CHILD KILLED.-A fatal
accident occurred here last Monday af-
telnoon. Albertus Allen, with others,
was at work on the highway near the
village. when IL five years old son of j.
NJ. Hubbard asked Mr. Allen for Il ride,
which request was granted, Mr.. Allen
taking the boy up beside himself on the
cart tongue. While going down the
slight descent near Thomas QuimbN's,
the tongue slipped through the ring OF
the neck yoke, letting the cart-which
was heavily loaded-upon the horses.
Mr.. Allen Immediately jumped off,
thinking to stop the horses. The boy.
on seeing Allen jump, tried To jump,
when he fell directly under the wheel
which passed over him. He was taken
into Mr. Quimhy's aud medical aid sum
moned, but i'll vain, as he lived only
two hours after the accident. While
no one can be blamed. it should be Il
warning to every one not to allow chill
dren to ride upon heavily loaded teams
The loss of their boy falls heavily upon
MI. Huhbard's family as he was theil
lily child. They have the sympathy
OF the whole community.

The Veil Lifted.

The revelations in Mr.. Blaine's case
at Washington, yesterday and the day
before, very much lift the veil of mys-
terry from his disputed transactions in
the securities of the Fort Smith and
Little Rock railroad. and his questioned
relation with prominent railroad spccu-
lators. The revealing witness is Mr..
Mulligan. book-kecper and confidential
clerk for Mr.. Warren Fisher. Jr., of
Boston. long intimate friend of Mr.
Blaine and contractor for the construc
ton of the Arkansas railroad. His state
ments, it will he observed, are not CON
tl;ldicted 10y Mr. Fisher in any essential
particular. They are sustained by a
memorandum book in his possession.
but III Mr.. Blainc's handwriting They
agree with what Mr.. Fisher had testified
to before the commissioner of insolven-
cy at Boston. and what he had said per
Sonally to friends III that city, and they
shed light upon and bring order out OF
heretofore admitted on disputed facts
i'll the current scandals about Mr..
Blaine.
Briefly summarized, these are the
facts: Mr. Fisher let Mr. Blaine have
li2.5OO in first mortgage bonds fol
Sl:D, 600 in cash. and threw in as bonus
$l:W. 900 in land grant bonds, $50. OOO
III common stock and SI3O.OOO in pre-
ferred stock. Mr.. Blaine proceeded to
sell at retail among his Maine friends
>lm.Om of the first mortgage bonds,
which were the most valuable and mar
ketable ot the securities, for Sl3O, 900 OF
money, giving t" each purchaser an
equal amount of both preferred stock
and the common stock so that Mr.
! Blaine had left, as profits on his trans
action. $500 in first mortgage bonds
and SlaD.OOO in Immigrant bonds. Sub
sequently, the enterprise coming to
grief, MIR. Blaine's purchasers, or some
of them demanded that he should take
! the bonds back and return their money.
