be given to suspend grants of

former inmates of warehouses are among
those desiring to emgrate.
Joseph Cowen, Radical member for
New Castle-on-Tyne, asked whether
America would allow .emigrants to land
If Great Britain allowed them means of
subsistence for the present.
Secretary Trevelyan replied that he
believed that very few indeed of the State
aided emigrants were paupers. But he
was still inquiring into the subject. He
thought that it was not because of few
pounds, more or less, that the emigrants
were returned. If Great Britain could
by any possible means meet the objections
OF America, she would adopt such means.
but he feared that contributions of public
money would not meet the objections.

lease, which we heartily indOrse.
1t is our opinion that tie people of
Georgia are satisfied with the lease as If
stands. Ut was deliberately made, has
been reaffirmed and indorsed. The lessees
nave scrupulously observed their part of
the contract, and besides paving
their rental regularly, have improved
the road ana it's equipment, untiIit stands
as (he model Southern road. The lease
has run twelve and a half years in which
particular we cOrrect the NEWS edi-
torlal and has only seven years and a
half to run, The State has received in
rentals nearly $4,000000.
There is no probability that we can see
of breaking the lease. The atten,r,, 10 do
so will entail heavv Litigation on the
State, and force tae lessees to pay heavy
laWTers Iees, 1t Will drag the road into
politics and make the lease :. political

dismissal from the service. The finding

preferred against Commander Null

neglect of duty, and unnecessarily hazard

Of dismissal has been promulgated by

An Injunction Restraining the FINDING
of the Railroad Securities


NASHVILLE, July "a bill was filed in
the Chancery Court to-day by John r..
Beasley, the defeated candidate for Gov
ernor in the last election on the Green
back ticket, and long recognized to be
one of the leaders of the sO-called extreme
low tax element, seeking an Injunction
restraining the State Funding Board from
funding what are known as "the rail-
road bOnds," comprising seven-eighths
of the State debt. The bill does not
attack the cOnstitutiOnality of the bonds of
the State debt proper. A few days ago Mr.
Beasley attempted to obtain a similar
injunction from Judge Williams at Win
chester, who granted an injunction under
which the one hundred and three bill was
finally declared unconstitutional, but
Judge Williams declined to grant it. 1t
is not believed that there is the slightest
probability that the action of Chancellor
Merritt will be otherwise.
