actor, in Texas, is untrue The man was

south. His name was James NJ. Currie.
He was born in Mason county, Illolnios,
AMI came to tie s ate in 1857 He was a
conductor on the Memphis and Little
Rock road, running between this place
and the former city. During the war he
served in the confederate army under
Gen. Forrest, and was noted for his
recklessness and courage. In 1875 he
went to Texas, and with money won at
the gaming table in this city, opened a
fashionable gambling den in Houston.
The patrons of it were all wealthy men.
Currle soon found himself in possession
of 100000 He got on big drunk and
while in that condition came to Little
Rock When he returned 1t was to find
that the cashier Of his gaming house had
skipped with all the available funds, leav-
ing him (Currie) penniless. The conductors
on the Iron Mountain and Memphis and
Little Rock road made up purse of 5000
for him and with this money he went

publicans have always had the upper
hand they talk altogether differently.
They declare that the fate Of the nation
depends upon the success Of the Republi-
can ticket, from mayor down to path
master, and that if any of the "unrepent-
ant rebels"-or In other words the Demo-
crats-are elected, the war will have been
fought in vain, and the thousands of
patriot dead will have split their blood
for naught. This is not consistent, but
characteristic.
During the Presidential campaign Of
1880 the Republicans declared that the
Democratic party was the party of repu-
diation, was in the habit of cons ,rtinE
with regulators and was therefore un-
worthy Of public confidence. The great

that q Democratic success meant the
forcible deposition of the Repub-
lican President. the payment Of the con-
tederate debt, and the payment of the e1-
shareholders for the loss Of their human
chattels. A number of prominent New
York Republicans also issued an address
to the people, having in view the Read
justers of Virginia, whom they declared
to be Democrats in disguise, in which
they said

RAILROAD SUIT.

SPRINGFIELD, May 26.-An important
suit has been commenced in the United
States Circuit Court for this district. The
proceeding is a bill of equity filed by John
l. Waterbury, of New York, complainant
against the Illinois Midland railroad com
pany Peoria, Atlanta and Decatur railroad
company, Paris and Decatur railroad com
pany, Union Trust company of New York
and Robert G, Hervey and others, officers
and directors of the company. The man
ner in which it was incorporated and
acquired its property was one of the rail
road schemes of the State. The new pro-
ceeding will be watched with interest
It is charged in the bill that there was a
conspiracy between the directors of the
Peoria s. Atlanta Railroad Company and a
majority of the directors of the Paris &
Decatur Railroad Company to deprive the
latter of its property and franchises, and to
defraud the shareholders that in pursuance
of such plan conveyance was made, there
being no consideration whatever for the
same; that afterwards the name of Peoria,
Atlanta 81 Decatur r. r. Company was
changed to the Illinois Midland Company,
and that in further pursuance to defraud
the Paris 81 Decatur and its shareholders,
the Illinois Midland Railroad Company,
on the first of January, 1875, executed a
mortgage to the Union Trust Company, of
New York, conveying all tbs property,
rights and franchises held and owned by
the Paris & Decatur company. No inter-
est has been paid on the bonds of the
Illinois Midland, and proceedings have long
since been begun by the Union Trust COM
pany to foreclose the mortgage in the
United States circuit court for this district.
Both the deed to the Peoria, Atlanta and
Decatur Railroad company, and the mort
gage of the Illinois Midland to the Union
Trust company were recorded in the eoun-
ties through which the Paris and Decatur
railroad passes, and thereupon became each
a cloud upon the title of said company to
its property and franchises. in derogation
of the rights of its shareholders. Ii is
