Tennessee Judges Sustained.


We assume any defense OF Judges
Baxter, Key and Hammond's acts en-
tirely unnecessary, but to show they
have been sustained in their opinions,
we give below the action OF two prom
inent Mississippi Judges upon like
question:
The Legislature OF Mississippi
enacted railway LAYS, substantially
the same as the law enacted in Ten
nessee. The railroad applied to the
courts for relief. Judge Hill, in the
case OF the Illinois Central Railroad
Company VS.. the Mississippi Railway
Commission, granting the injunction,
closed an able and exhaustive opinion
in the following words:
at will be observed that the Constitu.
tons Of Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin, in
which the cases relied upon by defend
ants counsel arose lin the Granger case),
reserved the right to the Legislatures re-
spectively to fix maximum, or regulate
the rate OF charges for transportation
within their respective States, which is
not reserved by the Constitution Of this
State"
Chancellor Peyton, in the case Of
the Natchez, Jackson 4 Columbus
Railroad Company vs.. the Mississippi
Railroad Commission. said:
"After mature consideration OF the
case, l have been brought by the cur
rent of authority to the conclusion that
the supervision law is unconstitutional
and void so far as 1t attempts to inter-
fere with or interrupt the rights con-
ferred on corporations by its charter. 1t
is insisted that the Granger cases and
some others establish different doc,
trsne, but upon a careful examination
OF these cases, the power to repeal the
charter was reserved to the Legislature,
either by the charters, an existing gen.
eral law, or the Constitution of the
States.n
What applies to Mississippi will APP
ply with equal force to Tennessee.
Both commission acts were substan-
tally the same. The Constitutions of
the States and charters OF the roads
of both States, so far as they relate to
railway legislation, are also the same.

The Time to Scratch.

This is an age of scratching, and all
honor to those who have the
courage to scratch. The hope
of the republic rests with the
scratchers. Citizens should weigh
both men and measures, and select
the least Objectionable. There are
too many of us who are one thing or
another by tradition. "He serves his
party best who serves his country
first" is the motto which every true
American should keep in view.
Search" should be the watchword,
and, acting thereupon, we should
search for the best men, and for the
principles that are calculated to pro-
mote the general prosperity and hap
piness Of the American people.

both his feet crushed BY Janping from a
moving train at Bel!nire sunday evening,
was more severely injured than at nrst sup.
posed. It vas thought that the right foot
might possibly be saved, but yesterday it was
found NECESSARY to amputate both. Dr.. John
Frissell performed the operation, which was
witnessed by Il number of physicians vhp
mother was sent for and has presence
served TO cheer the young man up consid.
ersbly; she will remain at the hospital with
him until he can be rsmoysd to his home In

The Mononsahela City republican has the
following about the foreign woods used in
this country: l.,
Mr.. John G. Braden, of Bsllaire, Ohio, has
been for about three weeks buying up wal
nut timber, from the farmers hereabouts.
and will in few days ship fsom here and
from Mckean's, seventeen car loads, destined
for export to Antserp, Germany. There it
will be steamed and worked up into veneer
ing, and cent back to this country as English
walnut. That's 3 roundabout way, but IL
suits our fashionable folly Tor 'foreiyu
woods.n These logs cost here Jay ton to iif-
teen dollars, and will return to be sold at
about n thousand dollars for the product of
tree. Mr.. Braden is u very clever gentle.
man, and bears good repute among cur farm
era as II man Of prompt buaiuesp. He says
the purchases made 90 ia: in this county
show up better wood for his purpose than
