Special DipateA to ne IaielIlgaIosF,
PARKERsRvRa, W, Va, Jan, 2O.-An i'm
portant case, and one that Is Of great inter
est to the various counties OF West Yir-
giniA, has been occupying the attention OF
the ChAncery side Of the United States Cir.
cult Court here for the past two days. Il
Is the case OF the Baltimore ( Ohio Rail.
road Company ys. the County OF Jefer.
son, The action involves taxes amount
ing to about $4,000 assessed by Jefferson
county against the railroad company. The
company obtained an injunction against
the collection OF the leVies made upon the
ground that the act Of 1870, which con.
teTred the authority upon the county to
subscribe 10 the capital stock oil the Shen.
Nnaoah Valley Railroad Company, for
ei 10 corporation, was not only unconstitu'
ti0nal, but unius! to the Baltimore 4 Ohio
Company, which Ia thus required by way
OF taxation to contribute TO the Construc
ton Of competing line.
The chief point urged by the counsel fol
the plaintiff ia that the Constitution ol
West Virginia prohibits the Legislature
from passing q bill which has more thar
one main Object IN view, and II also re-
quires that the title OF each bill shall ex
press that object as well. 1t is urged thai
the act Of 1870, which Confers the right
upon Jefferson county to subscribe to the
capital stock Of the Shenandoah Valley
railroad company, Is unconstitutional, foI
the reason that the title, as we'll as the
bill, embraces more than one object
There have been several other minor
questions raised by the plaintiff, which
will be passed upon by the court,
The case has attracted much attention
among the legal fraternity because OF the
questions involved, The county Of Jeller
son was represented by ex.Attorney Gen.
erAl O. Q, Watts. The Baltimore & Ohio
interests are in the hands Of John A.
Hutchinson and Judge Caleb BoggeSs
The argument by Mr.. Hutchinson wa
pronounced exceptionally iorCible. Judge
John j, jackson has reserved his deCiEiop
and has taken the case under advisement
