Validity Of the Blue Ridge Scrip
Sustained.

CHARLESTON, S. c., May 16.-A de-
cree has been filed in the United
States Circuit Court affirming the
validity of the Blue Ridge scrip is
sued by the State of South Carolina
under act of March 2, 1873, in ex-
change for certain bonds of the
Blue Ridge Bailroad, indorsed by
the State. In 1873 the scrip act
was declared unconstitutional and
void by the State Supreme Court,
and was subsequently, repealed by
the Legislature. The present decree
orders an account 10 be taken
of all scrip in the hands of
bona fide holders, ,and proper process
then to issue to compel the receipt
OF said scrip for State taxes and to
compel the levying of an annual tax
for ITS redemption, and also to re-
strain county treasurers from the
collection of taxes in cases where
said scrip has been rendered and re-
fused.
The plaintiffs are Amos D. Wills
liams and e. B. Wesley, OF New
York, whose claims amount to
about half million dollars, ad-
vanced to the State upon security of
the Blue Ridge Railway bonds,
which were subsequently surren-
dered by them in exchange for scrip.

Ar Fx-Marshal Arrested


well w. Russell, late q. S. Marshal
for the Western District of Texas,
was arrested here to day on war-
rant backed by an affidavit OF one
Brewster Campbell, OF Texas, charg
ing him with the embezzlement OF
government funds. First, that in
March, 1879, he deposited 5000 of
government money in a privaae bank
at Austin, Texas. Second, that cer>
tain sheep and goats were
,eizo1 by the Uni ed States
as having been smu. gied from
MeNica ia:o Texas, and that he etoo6
possession OF the animals and held
them subject to the order of the
Court. They were directed to be
sold, and the sale of the stock real
zed some 81, 800, which was retained
by him. Third. In carrying the
prisoners from Texas to other States,
and wolfe he had received passes
from the railroad companies, he
charges United States mileage fees.
Justice Wylie released him on a
$4,000 bail to appear when wanted,
Col Robert G. Ingerson becoming
his security.
In his own behalf Col. Stillwell
says that the public funds in qnes-
ton were deposited in a private
bank because there was no United
States depository in Austin, and that
tue department authorized such a
deposit-the funds being intended
for cur,e ,ent official disbursements
No claim of deficiency is made III
this connection. In regard to
the live stock the cost of keep
ing and expenses of the sale are
nearly equaled the amount realized
and beside the claimant for the stock
has obtaired a Judgment against him
for its value, against which judgment
an appeal is pending. As to travel
ing on free pass, he does not SEE
what the government has to do viii
that, and claims that he never charg
ed mileage where he was not entitled
to it. HIS term expired two months
ago and he has been here trying tc
secure reappOntment.
