CHICAGO, January 4.h.-Judge Smith, of
the Superior Court, rendered a decision to-
day, declaring unconstitutional the Act of
the Legislature under which damages could
be recovered from owners of houses in which
money had been lost in gambling. The de-
cision is an important one. The principal
reason given by the Court is that the Cousti-
tuition provides that each Act of the Legisla-
ture shall have a title, and that only one
subject is to be embraced in one Act.

BIRMINGHAM, Sept. IL, 1884.
Mr.. w. j. Campbell, of Warrior was in
town Tuesday and / learned from him
something of affairs at Warrior. There are
four mining companies at that place, all
owned and controlled by Southern men.
Lately fifth company composed OF North-
ern capitalists commenced operations there
and attempted to reduce the wages Of the
miners from so to 65 cents per ton. The
old companies be it said to their credit re
fused to join this war on the laborers. So
the new northern company sent to Ne,o
Forlc and had 67 Italians brought down,
who had agreed to do the work for 65 cents
ton. The old miners refused 10 let the
imported Italians work. So Monday they
(the Italians) left, and now the miners have
resumed work at 80 cents per ton. This
failure of Northern firm to cut down the
wages of colored laborers and to substitute
imported Italian paupers is due in great
degree to the mole stand in behalf of the
miners taken by the old Southern compa.
