REFUSED TO DISSOLVE.
The Decision Of Chancellor Merritt In
an Important Case.
Nashville Banner, Wednesday.


A case of great Importance was
decided In tue CDancery Court, y
Chancellor MerIitI, yesterday atter
noon, III which Hon. A. s. Colyar
and j. g. Warner are complainants
and Union q American Publishing
Company are defendants.
The facts IN the Ease, brit fly
stated, are that Hon. A. s. Co.yar
purchased Of q. Warner, the :
minietratOr OF j Ohm C. Burcn. d. cased,
ali Of the stock in the Union ana
American Publishing Company,
owned by Burch at the time OF ills
death. About the first Of last Janu-
ary q corporate meeting was held for
the purpose CT increasing the stock
OF the company, the new stock to
be sold to IL. NJ. Doak. The COM
plainants filed their bill enjoin-
ing them from such proceedings.
The defendants made motion to
dissolve the injunction, and the case
WAS heard last week. The chancellor
yesterday refused to dissolve the in
junction, and Col. C0lyar is now the
controlling power Of the company,
the chancellor holding that undel
the charter of the Union and Amer
lean Publishing Company, the boarc
of directors had right to increase
the stock, but not in the manner
proposed. The object of the pro-
posed increase of stock, as it appears
was to prevent A. S. Colyar from
holding a controlling interest il
the concern. Col. Colyar pait
$4,000 for fraction over $4,000
worth of the stock. A. S. Marks
Ex-Governor, - McNeilly, j. j
Fertrees and John Childress appear
ed for the eomplainants, and Ed
Baxter and Thomas Malone for the
defendants.
1t is understood that the stock
holders will meet Tomorrow, for ths
purpose of electing board of di
ectors.

ST. LOUIS, February % "A decision
was rendered in the United States
Court to day, in the case of the
South m Express Company VS.. the
1rpn Mountain and Southern Rail
way. The other cases were ANAL
gamated with this, and the decision
effects not only the Iron Mountain,
but also the Memphis and Little
Rock, Missouri, Kan-as ana Texas;
and lnthe suit of the Adams Express
Company, the Atchisop, Topeka
and Santa Fe, and the Denver and
Rio Grande Railroads. Justice Mil
ler, in his opinion, holds that the
Court of Equity can compel railroad
companies to provide for facilities OF
express business, to furnish cars for
that purpose, aud to af-
ford equal facilities to all
express companies actually
engaged in that business. Only fan
and reasonable rates shall be charged
for carrying such matter and the
agent in charge of it The rates
cannot be fixed in advance by the
railroad company; nor can collec,
tions be made at the end Of oact
journey, but the courts can regulate
the compensation for such service
after it has been performed; auC
railroad companies can be protected
by bonds to be given by the express
company. The injunction heretofore
granted in the Chambers is contin
ued in full force.

Two important nominations were
sent the Senate yesterday-Roscoe
Conkling to be Associate Justice Of
the Supreme Court of the United
States, and ex- Senator A. A. Sargent,
of California, to be Minister to
Germany. The first will create surs
prise, and will doubtless be criticised.
His ability is univer sally conceded,
but his tastes, habits and methods
have not been such as to point him
out as one eminently qualified for
th is high judicial position. 1t is un-
certain if he accepts. If he does, he
is taken out of the field of politics
forever, and the President may have
had this in view in rendering him
the appointment. It is o graceful
recognition Of one who has been his
warm friend, and at the same time
will remove disturbing force from
the politics of his State. If he does
accept, he will make an able Judge.
Mr.. Sargent served several terms
in the House of Representatives, and
afterwards ip the Senate. He has
been prominently mentioned for Sec
retary of the Interior, and consid-
cradle opposition was developed tc
his appointment to that position
He will doubtless serve his countr,
acceptably at Berlin.
