Cases.
Nashville american, 11th: "The 1mericd1a,
of Sunday, contained a dispatch from
Memphis to the effect that the Supreme
Court at Jackson had rendered decision
that the law allowing the sale of pools on
races run outside the State was unco2sti-
tutional. The announcement created
quite a little panic among pool buyers,
and since then none but the poolroonls
of the Nashville Blood Horse Association
have been open. 1t now turns out that
the panic was little premature, and that
the decision of the pool room case was 2
myth, the mistake originating in the SIM
ilarity OF two names.
Mr. Sim l.. Barinds, of Memphis, and
correspondent of the Associated Press at
that place, was in the city yesterday, and
stated that he thought it more than
probable that an error had been made in
the dispatch. News was received in
Memphis Saturday of the opinions of the
cases, among others, the gambling act.
The case of the State rs. Dale, from the
Shelby County Criminal Court, was also
reported affirmed. Judge Greer was
| interviewed and said that if the name was
| DAILY, instead of Dale, it must be the psol-
room case.
The correspondent and others, thinking
that the operator at Jackson must have
made mistake, and that the name shonld
have read DAILY, instead Of Dale, sent the
news out through the State that the pool
room case had been decided. When the
report was printed a number OF Memphis
lawyers said it was certainly erroneous,
as they knew the case had not been
argued.
| The matter was finally settled by tele-
gram sent by Mr.. Eli I. Morris to the
clerk OF the Supreme Court at Jackson
who responded 10 the effect that the pool.
room case had not yet been heard, and
would not be till to-day.
This news will doubtless give a fresh
impetus to the business in Nashville. A
good crowd was in the Senate last night
and preparations were in progress, it is
said, to reopen the Climax.
Mr.. Watson, of the Senate poolroom
states that Judge Allen did not say to hin
that he would notify them if the reported
decision referred to them. but simply tolC
him that he would investigate the matter
and that he thought they might 60 on
without danger in the meantime.

money but the investment was unfo1tu-

and so on until he had taken clear

for when he visited Tilden in August
last that gentleman very firmly an
nounced his intention to remain
permanently out of politics, and on a
succeeding visit in April last the same
determination had been expressed. Hen
bricks ought there wss little doubt that
the old ticket would have been unani-
mously nominated at the Chicago Conveu-
ton If it had not been for the declinaiion
OF to-day. He said that the demand for
it among the Democracy was almost uni
versal, and greater than any movement of
the kind he had ever seen in politics.
Personally he felt no great disappoint-
ment. He did not want the Of
fee of Vice-President eight years
ago and he did not want it now.
II the old ticket had remained in the field
he should have considered an election to
that place great honor, conferred by the
people as rebuke to what they consider
great wrong. 1t would have prevented
the seating of Hayes in 1876 from accom-
ing precedent for future elections. Mr.
Hendricks added, that only as an express
sion of the Indignation of the people would
he have regarded an election to the Vice
Presidency as an honor to be sought.
