The Railroad Supervision Law Sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court.

JACKSON, Miss, April 20.-The
decision rendered by the Supreme
Court to day establishes the legality
of the railroad supervision bill, but
the very numerous special powers
attempted to b. given by it will
have To undergo special investiga-
tion in particular cases. Tue great
leading idea of the decision is that
supcrN ision Is n matter of exclusive
State control, and that the National
Government has no power over the
subject.
When a railway train enters a
State and until it leaves the State it
is subject to the influence OF all
those State laws impartIally adopted
relative to the same. The court de-
MES the power of subsequent Leg
islaturc TO take away maximum
rate of charges vested bv charter.
The Commission is fixture, but
what it is exactly able To do is the
problem The cases acted upon TO
day involved only the roads wholly
in the State, the cases of all the
through or trunk lines having preyi-
ously gone TO the Supreme Court of
the United States without being
passed upon here. The case dccid-
ed to-day will also be appealed to
Washington.
The Brookhaven leader., 1885-04-23
Timely and Sensible.

Shortly before the assassination Of
Print. Matthews at lIazlenurst one
of the Copiah county papers was
filed with murderous suggestions,
and it was not surprising that its
unopposed advice TO use lead
brought forth such terrible results.
All murders are bad and wicked
condemned by the laws of God and
mau-but if there DC any murders
worse than all the rest, it is what
are termed political murders, or as
saSSinaLing Il man on account OF his
attempt to exercise the rights Of d
free man and an American citizen.
If therc are any evils in our polit-
ical condition, they can be overcome
without a resort to killing, murder
and assassination The advice to
Kill man on account Of his poi.
tics, or his political aspirations, is
utterly horrible and wicked, and
such miserable advice will not be
followed in community where
Christianity and civilization pre-
walls.

States is in the hands of the Demo

tative from Congr, IS in this State is

the county and municipal offices
throughout the State are filled by
Democrats.
In this Congressional District, the
Democrats elected a member of Con
grcss without killing anybody. 1t
had been urged in certain quarters
that the Presidential election was of
more importance to our people than
the Congressional election, but ma
ny of the people thought other
wise and devoted their energies to
the election of the Congressman,
and accomplished the gratifying re
suit without the least resort to VIC
lence.
1t was also urged in certain quar-
tiers that our municipal election was
OF more Importance than the Presi
Dental election. The people went
quietly but earnestly to work and
elected Mayor, good man and Il
good Democrat, without firing a
gun or INJECTING personal injury up
on single individual. And since
that time the President of the Board
of Supervisors was elected without
opposition.

killing anyone on account Of poll
tics (and we doubt il that excuse
no longer exists. | set OF men

fairs is preferable to the rule ofmur-

Jersey LuSk, Monroe Carter and
ViCal Clark went to the house OF
Dan Crum of Amite county week
or two ago, and taking forcible pos
session, drove the family off the
place and burned the house to ashes
The Tincs-Democrat special says
The men had nothing against Mr.
Crum, but We're under the influence
of whisky and wanted to commit
mischief" They nave all been cap
turcd, and are likely to have the full
penalty of the law metcd out to
them, which means death, but the
men who signed the petition to have
the liquor sold and the man who
sold it will go unpublished. The
case also illustrates that whisky
doesn't let every body alone who lets
it alone, as the abused family can
fully testify.
