RESTRAINING A RAILROAD.
The Injunction on the Charleston and
Savannah Road.

The bill in equity filed in the office of
the clerk of the Superior Court on Tues
/ day by John NJ. Guerard, Esq, as trustee,
/ to restrain che Charleston and Savannah
Railway from issuing bonds IN the sum of
Sl,500,000, has prompted a great deal of
inquiry.
A News reporter, in pursuing his in
quiries as TO the causes which probably
led N the filing of the bill, learned thar
the company originally issued bonds to
the amount of SS50,000, drawing interest
at the rate OF per cent, guaranteed by
the State of South Carolina. Some years
afterwards a second series OF bonds were
issued to provide means for repairing
this road, 70 purchase rolling stock, etc.
This issue was of what was known as the
I per cent. bonds, which were preferred
TO what were known as the 6's. After the
war the company was reOrganiZed under
the name of the Savannah and Charleston
Railway Company. The board OfdirectOrs
decided that to rebuild bridge across the
Savannah river and 10 substitute new for
old trestle work, and to make much need
ed improvements, required large GU lay
OF money. The means was, however, OBJ
tanned, the company giving first mortgage
bonds for it.
In June 1880, Col. H. B. Plant and
Others formed company with some Of the
interested parties in the road in South
Carolina, and board of seven directors
was elected to manage the affairs Of the
corporation. The name Of the road was
changed from the Savannah aud Charles
ton Railway to Charleston and Savannah
Railway. At the meeting of the stock
holders held last March it was proposed
TO fund the stock Of the company by issu-
ing bonds 10 the amount of 81 800, 600
Some OF the bOndholders objected
Among the DIRECTORS were those who
were principally interested in what has
been termed "the 7's." But the new
company had already secured about
S650,000 of the whole $3.50. 900 issue OF those
bonds, and they also offered to take the
first mortgage bonds issued for the re-
building of the Savannah river bridge and
the trestles at par. The decision of the
matter was finally postponed to
meeting which was held in
Charleston last week. Al that
meeting the holders of the $500, 900 worth
of the 6's, and the $S50,0O0 of the rs,
making Il total of SLIGO, 900 of former
bonds, were represented. When the prop
OsitiOn to issue the new bonds in the sum
$l,500,000 was discussed and put to a
vote there was not Il single negative. 1t
is stated that the total nominal value of
the bonds which Capt. Guerard, as trustee
represents is $1,000, though the actual
value Is about One-third Of that amount
When the bill was served on judge
Chisholm by Capt. Guerard on Tuesday
the latter was informed that no RESPONSE
bility to ackno wledge service without first
receiving instructions from the attorney
for the company whose office is in Charles
ton would he assured. TIE bill will, there
fore, have to be sent to Charleston, aud until
service shall have been acknowledged the
question as to whether the injunction
shall hold cannot be said to be before the
court.

Worth considering and worthy of exami-
nation by all who have any regards to
saving money. People will buy where
they can get the best goods for the least
money. 1t is human nature to do so.
Sharp buyers are always on the alert.
and once captured the masses soon
follow. The immense throng which con-
tinually crowded our store the past week
was evidence of this fact. The unusual
opportunity for a saving almost one-half
of the purchasers money, which the hOu sc
of A. r. Altmayer q Co. are now Offering,
is apparent to every thinking mind. The
reason why we can save you so much
money is that in few months we will
remove to the building now in course of
erection on corner Broughton and Bull
streets. 1t will be to our ad vantage to
move as little of our stock as possible.
Having this in view, and knowing the
only way to reduce the enormous stock
which our house carries Will be TO make
prices 50 low that you will buy at once.
even if you have no immediate use for the
goods. This is food for thought. Do you
| intend purchasing anything in the MILL
merry lineY If so, buy now. No finer
assortment, no stock more carefully
selected, no richer or more elegant sly les,
combined with the most artistic work
manship, ever shown in the South. Prices
wO uld not convey to you how cheap goods
are really sold. Goods have no value with
us, the only question we consider is how
fast we can reduce our stock. White and
| Black Plumes at less than One-fOurth
value. They are such as we used TO sell
at three times the prices we are Offering
them now. We are certainly going to
sell them for One-third less IMAM our
former price. Why such a fall? This is
what is called "a flower season, and plumes
are at a discount. We purchased these
plumes from an importer at "A sacrifice,
intending TO put them aside until next
season, when they will be in style again.
Now we are going 70 move, and we are
going to move the plumes if low prices
will do so. All sorts of lace caps, two or
three hundred styles, for half value-all
new and perfect. We still have Kid
Gloves something unusual at this season
of the year) all shades and STYLES. at less
| price than we could import them. Do
| nos fail 10 visit our store this week. We
| shall sell at low prices, and low prices
with us mean something. Every thing in
our entire establishment at less than cost
of production. We count ourselves sutii-
GENTLY repaid for our trouble and the
use of our capital by the opportunity
afforded Us by closing out our stock and
thereby be able to furnish our new place
with an entirely new line.
Ten minutes spent in our store win be a
better argument in our favor than any we
could write. Store closes at 6 $50. Ladies
viii consult their own interest by shop
ping during the morning, when We will
! be able to give them more attention.

LITTLE sORREL."
Something of stonewan JacksOn's War
Horse.

Something of StOnewan JacksOn's War
Horse.
Gen. Stonewall JacksOn's famous wal
horse, which will be exhibited here for
three days this week for the benefit of the
endowment fund Of the soldiers Home at
Richmond, Va, began his military career
at the very beginning of the war. In the
spring of 1861, when Maj. jackson had
taken command OF Harper's Ferry, a
large number of horses were captured on
a train on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, and jackson requested Maj. Har-
man, his Quartermaster, to select a
horse from this lot, and the
little sorreI or Fancy" as the
General called him, was selected. The
animal is Otmedium size, compactly built,
easily kept, and bad a long, lubberly,
awkward pace, with which be made rapid
progress. He proved to be horse of
great endurance, standing long marches
fatigue, having the peculiar characters
tic OF lying down as soon as he got to
camp and resting himself, instead of
standing up as most horses do.
Jackson rode the little sorrel at the first
battle OF Manassas where he received the
name Of "StOnewall," when Gen. Bee, of
South Carolina, in rallying his command
under very severe attack, exclaimed, as
he pointed to Jaokson's brigade present
ing an unwavering front to the enemy,
see Jackson standing like a stone
WALL" }, at KeTnstOwus, Mcdowell, Win
chester, Port Republic, Cross Keys,
Gaines Farm, Cold Harbor, Thayer's
Farm, Malvern Hill, Cedar Mountain, the
second Manassas-at Sharpsburg and
Harper's Ferry, at Fredericksburg, and
at last at Charlottesville, where the
General fell from his back mortally
wounded.
Little SOrrel was the companion of his
great master in the whole OF his brilliant
career in the late war, and bore him
proudly, unfiinchingly and unwearied
through all the fierce conflicts OF his many
battles. AS far as horse may be, be was
worthy Of the hero who rode him, and now,
thirty years OF age, is the object OF most
aifectonate regard by all who followed
StOnewall jackson.
When Gen. Jackson was wounded al
Charlottesville the horse escaped and
was supposed TO have gone into the
Federal lines, but was found the next day
when Gen. }. Il. b. stuart, in command OF
Jackson's corps, drove the enemy out OF
their works, and taken by an artillery
company to bring their guns out of the
field, not knowing whose horse it was.
The horse Is on exhibition from 3 a. m.
10 3 .. m. at the corner Of Bull and Jones
streets.
