This afternoon the argument in the case OF
Lewis, McComb &c., W. the Washington &
Ohio Railroad Company was concluded Mr..
Mckenzie, the President of the road, was in
good spirits Indeed he laughed at the idea
of being displaced. Judge Neeson, one Of
the attorneys for the other side side, was one
of Mr.. McKer2es best personal friends, and
took occasion to express to that gentleman the
regret be felt at having to be arrsyed against bin
The Judge, after bearing the argument decided

atty of $4,000, Tho decree will be entered
on Monday. The argument was concluded By
Judges Meredith and Neesou. The decree
will displace Mr. Mckenzie. the President and
all the corporation officials and subjects the
corporation to the immediate control Of the
court for the benefit of the creditors of the
Railroad company. Mr.. Mckenzie was com.
pleteIy overcome when the decision OF the
court was announced.
There seems to be an impression that the
Barbour tax bill will not SO readily pass the
Senate nor will Mr.. Brooke's bill pass the
House. 1t may be that an attempt to compro-
mise will be made. but doubt whether it will
be successful unlces call is made for an extra
session.
