TIA dissatisfaction caused by the in
junction Judge JACKSON granted in favor
Of the c. y D. railroad is rather on the in
crease. The counties through which the
road passes have been doing without the
revenues due from the company 100 long
already. They expected for sure tn taxes
would be paid in promptly this year, and
Fayette aud some OF the other counties
have made arrangements TO build bridges
and maxi other public Improvements they
have been compelled 70 neglect in he past.
The delay caused By this injunction will
cause great inconvenience. It is reported
that the company will seek to compromise,
but such propositions will not meet with the
approval Of The counties nor Of Governor
Wilson. The Governor stands f,m as

A CORRESPONDENT Of the New York sun,
in speaking Of the present Administration
and its relation 20 the Democracy Of New

Democratic success has 5u, Just been sc
cured, that the present Administrators IA,
Just entered upon its responsible aad deli
cate duties and tha, We may no, occupy
such an emiueuce as wi, enable us to sur.
vry the whole field, comprehend the em
barrassmcnts, or appreciate the motives for
political action; and open opposition at this
time would seem harsh as we'll as prema.
tuJe. Indeed such q course would seem to
partake too much Of that folly that pcomp.
ed the old farmer TO burn his barn to smoke
out the rats. It would cost too much, l
have an abiding hope that President
CLEVELAND will soon see how utterly
absurd it is 10 claim radical differ
cnces between Democratic aud Republican
methods aud principles, aud still try 70 ad-
minister Democratic government with the
alien element OF repuoAcanIsm. As well
might it be undertaken to run q peace cou
gress by the persuasion Of dynamite!
II The lessons of The past, the failures and
~d,fconteuts of the present, shall fail to pro
duce q better executive mind, then let the
people, through their representayiycsin Con-
gress assembled, firmly demand the reason
why Democrats are denied the fruits ottheir
long struggle and final victory. But let Us
no, Precipira,e party disruption BY prema-
