ST. LOUIS, June 11.-Denver dispatches
say the railroad situation Is attracting much
attention. Information was received here
last night that Judge Bowen, of the fourth
judicial district, had granted al Injunction
against the Atchson, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad, prayed for by the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad and the State s-attorney,
General Wright. Writs were issued accord
iugly and placed IN the hands of the sheriffJ
In the different counties through which the
road passes, and this morning the Denver and
Rio Grande company took possession of the
line and started a passenger train out from
Denver. The. doors of the Denver offices
were broken in, with cross-ties, by the Dem
yer and Rio Grande people. United States
District Judge Hallett has issued an order
transferring the hearing of the case to his
court. Argument will be heard to morrow
as to whether Judge Bowen's writ is effective.
The Denver and Bio Grande railroad was
leased to the AtchlsoD, Topeka and Santa Fe
company about six months ago, but it is
complained that the provisions of
the lease have not been COM
piled with, hence the present compli-
cations. If the Denver and Rio Grande re-
main in possession of the line, which runs to
the southern part of the State, and controls
q good portion of the trade of New Mexico,
il will be operated In the interest of the Jay
Gould pool, including the Union Pa
ci6c and Kansas Pacific, and the
Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe Will be cut
out of Denver. Tee suit involves the posses
sion of thirty-seven miles of the road, sew
eral important mountain passes and many
million dollars worth of property. 1t is
fought strongly on both sides.

.LEGLsLArKE sUMMARY.

In the Senate, on the Sd, House bills
on third reading as follows were passed:
To amend the exemption law so as to
provide for the exemption of 5000 of
lumber in the hands of mechanics To
attach the lands of j. W. Woods to
Wilson county and to exempt Hawkins
county from the provisions of the act
for the protection of fish. To reduce
the salary of Superintendent of Asylum
for the Insane, and to amend the act to
charter the town of Galloway.
A bill was introduced in the House
providing submission of the debt ques-
ton to the people. 1t was ordered
printed.
In the House, on the 9th, Mr.. Wat
kin's resolution proposing plan for the
settlement of the State debt was read.
Mr.. Butler offered an amendment that
1--WE believe the debt to be binding upon
the State, and should be paid; that this
Legislature should take immediate steps
to settle the same upon terms alike Just
and honorable to the holders of our Sc
curities and the people of the State; that
taking no step to pay the same is the
worst character of reputation"
Dir. Stovall moved to lay the amend
ment on the table, which prevailed, by
vote of 81 to %.
In explaining his vote, Mr.. Cunning
ham said:
do not believe the whole debt is
binding upon the State, but | do believe
that this Legislature should take imme-
date steps to settle the debt upon terms
alike just and honorable to the holder
of Tennessee bonds and the people of
the State, and that failing or refusing to
settle now does not comply with what
the people demand of the present Gen
eral Assembly, but prolongs the debt at
the expense of the people.
S. E. CUNNINGHAM,
This explanation was also signed by
Mr.. Cain.
In the House, on the 9th, the bill
known as the local option measure, the
special order of the day, was taken up
on third reading, and discussed at great
length, by Messrs. Driver, Alexander
and Buchanan against the bill, and by
Messrs. Hall and Poston for it.
At 5 p. m. the vote was taken, as fol-
lows, and the bill was lost for want of a
constitutional majority.

The american mentions little spat
that occurred between Messrs. Maccabe
and Butler. during the discussion of che
local option bill, in the House, last
Thursday. During the course of his
remarks Mr.. Maccabe suggested how
easy it was to get up petitions, which,
though they contained some respectable
names, were signed by the g-tag and
bob-tail Of society. When Mr.. Butler
came to speak he made some rather
caustic remarks about liquor vendors,
and said Mr.. Maccabe was welcome to
have the glory of representing the rag
tag and bob-tail of society. Mr.. Maccabe
retorted that if Mr. Butler was as much
mistaken about that as he was about his
other statements he was egregriously in
error. Mr.. Butler said be would stand
up to what he had said. Mr.. Maccabe
arose to reply, when the Speaker rap
ped the gavel and cried out, Sergeant

Maccabe demanded to be heard in self
defence. He said he did not belong to
the class of people spoken of by Mr..
Butler, and he must not repeat what he
had said. Mr.. Butler said he spoke as
he pleased and did not interrupt any
body. Mr.. Maccabe-"But the gentle

THE CIPHER REPORT

The report of the majority of the Pot
ter committee upon the cipher dis
patches says that generally the Western
Union Telegraph Company seemed to
have exercised due care in respect to
the preservation and privacy of their
dispatches, and the theft and publica-
ton of certain dispatches did not seem
to be their fault. At the same time,
they could not but suspect that Orion,
President of the company, since deceas-
ed, who was an earnest Republican
leader, forwarded the dispatches in Gus
tody of the company to the Republican
committee of the Senate rather than to
the Democratic committee of the House.
He had also shown his bias by allowing
certain of the dispatches to be with
drawn. On the examination of the In
diana dispatches, in which Mr.. z. Chan
dler was asked by Mr.. TyneF to appoint
two Indian Agents, one could see how
very naturally the telegraph officials
should have failed to recognize these
most improbable cipher dispatches to
have any concealed meaning, but re-
garded them as rather corrupt dispatch
es. That they could recall them so well
was a credit to the efficiency of the COM
pany and suggest that nothing in the
protection of dispatches by telegraph
would be gained by transferring that
business to the Government. IL was not
for the committee, however, to suggest
whether any legislation was required to
prevent private kilograms from being
purloined or exposed or for their pro-
duction in proper cases. Considering
the watchfnl and intelligent partizan
~E u I'll
months, it was to be expected
wanted by the parties In charge, and it
would have been toe much to expect
any messages rejecting seriously upon
the conduct of the party would be found
among these bundles. The TRANSACTIONS
of the cipher messages disclose trans |
actions of near frieuds of Mr.. Tilden, |
after the election, to secure the electoral |
votes of South Carolina and Florida. |
These persons seemed TO have appre- |
hended that the electoral votes of those |
States, which they believed belonged to |
Mr.. Tilden, would be declared for Hayes, |
and to have regarded themselves as
in endeavoring to defeat this /
corrupt and fraudulent action by sub
hitting to the payment of moneys which
hey were informed the Canvassing
Boards demanded by way of black-mail.
The committee did not, in any way,
Justify their action, and considered it
gross wrong; but these notions were not
by the National Democratic
or any person entitled to
peak for them. All persons who had

To .the Editor Of the Morristown Gazette:
To-day, Joseph Day and family left
these parts for Fannin county, Texas.
They were preceded, last fall, by two OF
his brothers. We here in the corners
are sorry to lose these citizens, who go
from among us generally respected and
esteemed. The Day family, from old
John through a long list of sons and
daughters to the youngest, are industri-
Gus and provident people, and we can
much better spare less valued emigrants.
May peace and prosperity attend them
all along the journey of life.
The past week has been a glorious
one for farming operations, and the
farmers have availed themselves of it.
The spring work is now well along,
Let me caution people not to depend
upon all of March for fine weather.
The old adage that when March comes
in like lamb it will go out like lion

Much wheat has been winter killed,
