THE WHEELING a. LAKE ERIE II. II.
VS.. IT'S sTOCKHOLDERs.
Important Decision in Favor Of the Company b.
Judge FlnefrOCk.

Early in the present term OF the Court OF Com.
mon Pleas the cases Of the Wheeling & Lake Erie
Railroad Company came up before Judge Fine.
frock on demurrers and motions Hled by the de.
linquent stockholders to the petitions of the Com
pany, and were fully argued by the counsel EN-,
ployed, Messra e. T, Stewart Nickham a Wild,
man, and T. Is, Strong appearing for the plaintiff
and Messrs s. j. Patrick, L. D, strutton, q. w.
Knapp for the defendants IS, E, williamson, E,q.
OF Cleveland, alsc appeared for one Of the Milan
defendants
Several points were involved In the demurrers
and motions, the most of them of no substantial
Importance, but there was one question raised by
the demurrers which would have probably proved
fatal 10 the cases II II had been decided in favor
of The defendants, To this point the attorneys on
both sides paid their prompt attention. 1t was
claimed by the defendants that no assessments on
stockholders could be lawfully made until all ht
stock authorized had been subscribed.
In very able and elaborate opinion Judge
FineirOck held that that position was entirely un'
tenable for two reasons first, because Of the pro.
visions Of the Ohio statute allowing the constIuc
tion OF rail roads to begin as soon ss ten per cent
OF the authorized capital has been subscribed; and
second, because By The terms Of subscriptions lOiCh
contain certain cypress conditions all implied COndt
lions are excluded The Judge laid particular
stress unon the latter branch OF his opinion. The
opinion If correct, and there seems no room for
doubt, will apply o all other claims.of implied
conditions which were raised before the Justices
Of the Peace where the cases were begun, such as,
that the road was to be OF acerain gauge, or was
to go by certain line, &c. The Judge said, sub
stantially, that the subscribers are presumed to
have included in their written contracts of sub.
scription all the conditions upon which they
wished to rely. He further said that 1t was the
duty OF the Court to uphold such stock subscrip'
tions, when 1t can be done without strained con.
struction Of the contract. We are informed since
the rendering of the important decision several
of the subscribers have paid up Neutrality-suspicious.
and Others are promising to do So
In this connection President W. A. Mack in.
forms us that the claims against the Company are
in fair way toward adjustment that they never
could be settled so Cheaply now and that if S2O-
600 can be raised on the stock subscriptions, he
can relieve the Company of its financial embar.
easements and begin work at Once.-N0rlUak

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1879-03-20

These deputies were chiefly used in
1875 and in 1878 in New York. Super
visors may be appointed in any Congress
sional district if ten citizen request the
Circuit Judge to designate them, but on
ly two need make the request in cities OF
over 10000 inhabitants. In the great
cities the supervisors may arrest (sec
2O22) on seeing an offence committed If
there be no deputy marshal present, but
the supervisors in places of less than
10000 inhabitants cannot (sec. 2,029) ar
resi- any offender In the latter case the
supervisors cannot do anything (seC,
028) but "witness" the proceedings. -
Therefore throughout the country, out.
side of the large cities, there can be no
deputy marshals, nor can the supervi.
sors arrest or detain any offenders either
on registration or elections days.
These obnoxious statutes, in truth, as
any one may see, and as the expendi
lures disclose, are chiefly aimed at New
York and at New York city. These
lawsa are based on the allegations that
voters are not protected in New York by
New York laws. There is no question Of
races. or colors, or previous condition Of
servitude in New York. Will Mr.. Ev-
arts advise Hayes that in Few York the
protection of the white race at the polls
depends on Mr. Davenport, his deputy
.nsrshals, and his iron cages for natural
lied citizens2 Next autumn there will
be an animated contest in New York
over the election of Governor, but nei.
ther Mr., PomerOy nor Mr.. Sloan in Al.
bsny has been heard to complain of the
State laws. No Federal officers can
scrutinize or interfere with the State
election next autumn. Why should our
New York elections be false and fraud
ulent in Congressional years without
Mr.. Davenport, and yet true and honest
in the intervening years when State off
GERS are to be chosen and Davenport is
impotent? 1t is to be borne in mind
that the laws which Congress proposes
to repeal do not touch the elections of
President or of Vice President or of Fed
eral Senators. These are chosen by State
officers. The Supervisors and deputy
mursbals only have to do every tive
years with members of Congress. No
registration or election in the interVen-
ing year can they scrutinize or guard
and they can SUI ervise the choice of
members Of Congress even only in cities
of20,OO0 people
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1879-03-20

The Democratic position before the
country, through our representatives in
Congress, is certainly one we need not
be ashamed nor afraid Of It is-fair trial
by jury, no Federal bayonets at the polls,
local elections free from Federal inter.
ference and bribery. 1t was in defense
and in vindication of these principles
that Mr.. Southard, of the GAINESVILLE dis
trict, tossed defiance back to Hale when
the latter threatened an extra session in
the name of and for the cake of packed
juries, government officials and muskets
at the polls on election day, and horde
Of Republican electloneerers paid from

oCratic party are for free elections, and
