WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, d. G., January %.
The United States Supreme Court
to-day decided the case of the ap-
plication of Peter Romland, ct al,
county commissioner of Chambers
County, Ala, for writ of habeas
corpus to procure the relase of the
county commissioners of Chambers
County, who had been fined and inn
prisoned by order of the United
States Circuit Court, for alleged con-
tempt in refusing and neglecting to
collect the special tax which said
county had ordered for the purpose
of satisfying its Judgment. The re-
turn of the commissioners to the per-
emptory writ of mandamus, set forth
that they had levied the tax as di-
rected, and had instructed the tax
collector to collect it, but that the
latter had refused to do so, for the
reason that the law did not require
him to qualify and give bonds for
$4,000 for the collection of special
taxes. The United States Court
held this return to be insufficient.
and declared the commissioners to
be in contempt and imposed the fine
upon them and committed them to
prison until such fines should be
paid. Their release is sought by the
present petition for writ of habeas
corpus. This court held that in
duly levying taxes and putting it in
to the hands of the collector, the
county commissioners performed
their whole duty, and that they were
not properly chargable with the col
lection of tax and could not be res
quired by mandamus to compel
tax collector to do his duty, if he
neglected it. It was in the power OF
judgment creditor to proceed by
mandamus against collet tor direct-
ly if he would not collect the tax, but
the commissioner could not be held
responsible for his failure to do So
In ordering the arrest and punish-
ment of the commissioners for moi
doing what the law did not require
them to do the United States Circuit
Court exceeded it's jurisdiction, ane
its order is void. A writ of habeas
corpus must be granted unless the
parties are willing that an order o.
discharge be entered without fur
ther proceedings. The opinion is BY

"I will do it, with determination that

Ten Thousand Persons Rendered
Homeless
A Vast Expanse Of Turb1d
Waters.


onfIlLI, odHuoIy H4s
Day by day, as the progress of the
surging river has been witnessed by
the alarmed citizens, there was the
one deeply anxious thought that it
would speedily come to stand and
then speedily fall. But the hope has
been frequently dissipated by the in>
creased rains and continued rises.
A general rain prevailed throughout
this entire section last night. At
this point it poured down in torrents,
exciting the keenest apprehensions,
which were verified by the river
showing a steady rise at the rate of
one and a half inches per hour, which
has continued throughout the day.
Many families, living on the borders
of the backwater, did not dare to re-
tire to their couches tonight, for fear
that the waters already near would
come into their dwellings,. Families
are moving out still, and great suffer
ing is being experienced among the
poor, by the hasty manner in which
they have been compelled to flee
from their submerged homes. Relief
committees have been organized, and
every effort is being made to relieve
the distressed.
The number of homeless people in
the city cannot be less than ten
thousand, and these are crowded
into every available spot by tens and
scores. On nearly every side, the
avenues of approach to the city are
overfowed, and the city is, to a great
extent, hemmed in.
The trains still pass back and forth
over the railroad bridge of the Louis
vile and Nashville road. The fill
and trestle along the road is like q
long line of black in the water, over
which the trains run back and forth,
seemingly on the water itself.
Viewing the back waters from the
capitol grounds, vast expanse, re
sembling huge sea of turbid water,
may be seen. From this point it may
be viewed on the north, east and
west, extending away down the bend,
miles below the city.
