WESTERN UNION.
A Partial Victory for Williams and His
Friends.

N~~~N~
Friends.
NEW YORK, Dec. Pin the suit heard
yesterday, brought by William S. Will
liams against the Western Union Tele-
graph Company and its directors, to re-
strain that company from paying a divi-
dend ON $3S,OOO,OOO of its capital stock.
which, it is also claimed, was lille
gally issued, Judge ArnouX rendered
his decision to-day in the Superior Court
After reviewing the case, the court dwelt
on the fact of the cOmpany's anticipating
the date of paying Of the dividend. The
court was not advised, and could not
Judiclally take knowledge that this pro-
ceeding was in any wise different from
, the ordinary course pursued by the COM
pany in anticipating its dividend
when 1t had the money in it's treasury to
make such payment. If it should, how
ever, hereafter be proven that the action
had been unusual and had been induced
by fear Of the decision of the court on this
motion, these gentlemen may find that
they have assumed responsibility
greater than they now contemplate.
In deciding this motion the court would
proceed on the presumption that the di-
rectOrs OF the company had acted lawful
ly. The court then reviewed the terms of
the agreement between the three telegraph
companies, the arguments OF counsel on
both sides and the affidavits submitted.
After considering the case in all its as
poets the court granted the motion for an
injunction against the payment of any
dividend upon SIS, ,526, $40 of capital stock.
being so much of the shares thereof as
was distributed in the stock dividend in
question, and denies the motion in other
respects,
After announcing his decision Judge
ArnOuX, on the motion of Robert SeweII,
granted an order restraining and wholly
enjoining the defendants from paying or
causing to be paid any dividend on $15,-
526,59O of the capital stock issued under
the contract dated January 10, 1881, the
injunction to continue during the penden-
cy of this action, binding the officers,
clerks. servants and agents with liberty
to move a resettlement of the order by the
defendants tomorrow morning.
In the suit of Rufus Hatch against the
Western Union Telegraph Company and
others, in which application was made
for the renewal of the original injunction
gained several years ago, Judge Arnaux,
in the Superior Court, rendered his decis-
ion to-day, granting the motion for a re-
newal of the injunction against a declara-
ton of a dividend upon $15,526, $50 of
stock.

APPARENTLY CRUST.

The account of the examination of Emma
Bond, the poor girl who was the victim of
SO dreadful an outrage in Illinois last sum.
mer, seems to show what can only be char
acterizsd as great cruelty on the part of
the Court. Miss Bond has been lying
dangerously i'll ever since the outrage, and
after having been given over, slowly i'm.
proved in health, though continuing to be
subject to severe spasmodic attacks. When
she was placed on the stand it seems that
she suffered one of these attacks, but the
examination was pressed, and notwithstand-
ing that's had three similar seizures during
the afternoon, only the apparent prospect
of her death put an end to her examina-
ton. If this account of the matter is cor
rect the Judge who permitted the witness
to be subjected to so prolonged an examina.
ton, In so precarious physical condition,
deserves the most severe reprobation 1t
may yet prove that this excitement and
mental torture have taken from the
poor young woman her one chance Of re-
covery.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

One of the proposed laws the next Leg
islature will be called upon to consider
will be a Code amendment relative to
weights and measures. The present law
is dead letter. Consumers find it next
to impossible to buy, for instance, cord
of wood fol the price of cord pound
of butter for the price OF pound and SO
on through a long list. In many States
of the Union sales Of such articles are reg
ulated as to weight and measure, and must
bear the mark of Register of Weights
and Measures. 1t remains to be seen if an
economical and just system can and will
be applied in California for assuring to the
consumer the value of his money, at least
so far as the quantity bargained for is con.
cerned. Householders who keep any &C.
count of the outgo for living expenses are
all aware that they pay a heavy tax for
shortage on nearly all the fuel they pur-
chase, and in an aggregate of years this
amounts to a sum that would pay for
many modest home. The seller of house.
hold supplies must understand that a
proper regulative system will in the end
iaure as much to his interest as to that of
the consumer, for if he sells short in weight
or measure he may rest assured that he
suffers in like manner in his purchases.
The whole system of shortage in quantity
is one of dishonesty, and should be made
an orfense before the law.

ment for both of them. And it is no doubt
the case that Italy is becoming restless and
uneasy, and disposed to be quarrelsome,
now that she begins to feel her own
strength. It is one of the most unfortunate
consequences Of maintaining powerful fleets
and armies, that a necessity always seems
to arise, of finding something for them to
do. Such costly machinery cannot be
maintained in idleness continually, and
then, too, whatever power feels strong ia
always tempted to stand more and more
upon its dignity, and as it were to trail its
coat, after the fashion OF an Irishman at
Donnybrook Fair. Yet Italy has abundant
work before her at home, and King Hum
bert has not failed to point out the princi-
pal needs of the time. She has to build ND
her young commerce, to improve her agri-
culture, to reform her educational system,
to pat the masses in fair way to secure
enlightenment. Foreign wars would be
most mischievous for her at present. For
the next fifty years she ought to isolate
herself, if necessary, rather than become
entangled in any foreign difficulty. Thus
far her Government has skillfully avoided
such difficulties, though the Tunis affair
proved dangerous temptation. 1t re.
mains to be seen whether the same pru-
dence will continue to characterize her
nnlicv
