NO RELIEF AGAINST A STATE.
An Important Decision by the Supreme
Court on q Southern Bond Case.


Court on Southern Bond Case
The U. s. Supreme Court has ad-
versely decided the case of George
A. Cunningham, appellant, VS.. the
Macon and Brunswick railroad
company ct. als.-an appeal from
the circuit count for the southern
district of Georgia. The suit was
brought upon series of bonds
amounting in the aggregate to $500
900, which had beea endorsed by
the governor of Georgia under au-
thority Of the state legislature. In
1873 the company failed, and the
governor to secure the interest of
the state created by its 1ndorses
ment seized the road. In 1875 the
state repudiated its endorsement
but confirmed by purchase its
right to the road and made pro-
vision for the payment of another
earlier series of bonds which also
bore Endorsement. The present suit
was brought by one Of the holders
of the 100000 series of bonds
against the governor and treasurer
Of the state and others, to test the
question of the States's liability
and to obtain relief. The bill was
dismissed in the count below on the
ground that it was virtually suit
against the State, and the State was
not and could not be made party
to it.
The supreme court comedies in
that view of the case, and says that
whenever it can be clear ly seen that
the state is an indispensable party
to enable the court, according to the
rules which govern its procedure,
to grant the relief sought, The
court will refuse to take jurisdic-
ton.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The nomination Of Carlisle was
the appropriate thing for the dem
ocratic congressman to do.
It was honest in them to put che
solid south at the head of the pro-
cessiOn of their party.
at wasIproper for them to ass
sumo that the great business IN
terests of the country were inter
esting to but one-twentieth of the
population.
The northern border Of the solid
south is the hottest part OF it, and
Mr.. Carlisle dwells in it and has
taken his temperature from 1t.
Mr.. Randall represented the
idea that the democratic party
could be managed so as not TO
meddle in revolutionary way
with the financial, commercial ana
revenue policy under which the
country has SO greatly prospcrod.
1t was claimed on behalf of MT.
Randall that his election az Speak
er would give the country assur-
ances that the democracy would
not prove reactiOnary and enter
crudely and violently into the dis
organization of the conditions un-
der which business is done, specie
payments were resumed, the Ma
tional debt reduced, the public
credit advanced, vast enterprises
carried to successful ic0mplotiOn
and the nation reconstructed after
the war on grander, scale than
the fathers ever imagined.
The choice Of Carlisle over KanA
dali informs the country beyond
doubt that the purposes of tho
democratic party are founded up>
on southern provincialisms and
western conceits, and mean Q rai>
ical and narrow>minded intorfer-
ence with the essential elements
Of the glorious progress that has
been achieved since the rebellion
was suppressed and the republi<
can rule was established.
The southern members were
loud in their assertions that if
would not do to draw the sectional
line, and then they drew 1t for
their candidate.
Though Mr.. Carlisle's homo is
in Covington, he is as thoroughly
southern as if he was from SOUTH
ern Mississippi, and the feeling Of
the solid south that the time had
como to walk into tho high pIa-
ces, made his candidacy iDfosista-
BILE:
In making the choice before the
country the democratic party has
placed itself in the proper light;

that the party in possession of the

mark of distinction that has ever
been conferred upon me. | do not
know what kind surprises Fortune

sure that she can have nothing that

She may shower favors at my feet,
she may load me with gold and

esteem and confidence of fourteen

Of whom has left a part Of his life

made by a southern representative,
that Randall was not good DEM

the present agitation of the tariff
question:
Why so sad?'
'Whyr Because Of the splendid
fight made by Randall to save the
south from the despotic vengeance
Of Grants Force bill. ] was here
that winter. What few democrats
there were here from the border
states were little better than so
many sheep. They huddled. Ter.
ror, uncertainty and weakness were
on every face. There was no lea
der among them. Those who did
not contemplate flight were about
to turn to the equally despicable
alternative of surrender. Then
Randall came-calm, cool, yigilant,
indomitable. He sounded single
note Of defiance, and the weak
grew strong again and the hesita.
ting became self-reliant. He led
what democrats there were in enc
of the most memorable political
fights Of American history, and
finally saved four statas from the
talons and beaks Of reconstruction
vultures, And his reward? SIM

;sentatiye, a. living, political monu-

willing to put the next Presidency

business interests of the country.
