ExAuditor Hewitt in his forthcoming
report to the Legislature upon the Gnan-
cial condition Of our State says. I'VE have
increased in wealth in eighteen years
$40 900 600. Our pol ulaiou has increas-
ed so per cent, the mileage OF railroads
80 per cent and banking capital $50 per
cent; expenditures in all branches Of the
State have largely increased" And yet
our trate OF taxation tor general
expenditures is the same il was thirty-6ve
years ago, that is twenty cents on the val
uaton of 500. For it must not be for
gotten, he continues, that whilst cur entire
taxation is at the rate of Az cents more
than one-half of that is devoted to school
purposes, and was fixed by the direct vote
OF the people, and that the rate for current
expenditures remains unchanged There
is not another State in the Union which
devotes 80 large proportion OF the revenue
TO education, nor is there another whose
expenditures have been met 80 long by the
same rate of taxation.

Judge PriOr,s Opinion.
Courier j ournal |

The Injunction in the case OF the Har-
dinsburg and Western Railway Company
against W. V. McCracken and Co., which
was discharged by Judge Toney one day
last week, has been rt-instated by Judge
Prior, Of the Court OF Appeals. Messrs.
Fairleigh * Straus are the attorneys for
the plaintiff, and Messrs. Helm e. Bruce
for the defendant. The opinion Of Judge
Prior will be of general interest, and is as
follows:
"There can be no distinction between the
discharge and the dissolution of an injunction
in case like this. The action was instituted
in the Breckenridge Circuit Court and the rec
ord could only find its WY to the Vice Chan
cellor of the Law and Equity Court of the city
Louisville in the mode pointed out by the code,
or by change of venue made by an order of
the court in which the order was instituted.
The case seems to have been heard upon the
statements Of the petition and other evidence
by way of afidavits and the injunction dis
charged by the Vice Chancellor, and a refusal
on the application of the plaintiff to grant
leave to apply to this court for a re-instate-
ment of the injunction. The plaintiff as a
matter Of right was entitled to a reasonable
time to make his application for q re-instate-
ment to one of the judges OF this court, the
period in which the application is to be made
not to exceed twenty days. He has applied
before me and within twenty days from the
dissolution Of the injunction, and treating the
case as If the order was made to dissolve and
not to discharge, the injunction must be rein
stated. This is the Jurisdiction the Vice
Chancellor had over the record as provided by
Sec. 900 of the Civil Code, and having secured
the right to make the application here, by
asking for time for that purpose in the court
dissolving it, judge of this court has the
same power to re instate as if the time had
been given.
"The only relief sought is that of an injunc-
ton to restrain the defendants from doing an
alleged wrongful act, and to say the remedy is
by an appeal on the final hearing would de-
stroy the right as well as the remedy. That
there is difference between the discharge of
an injunction and its dissolution Is conceded,
but the right of judge to discharge at cham
bers In court other than that in which the
action was brought, when the case is not in
his court by change of venue, may well be
questioned, and treating the Vice Chancellor
as having the jurisdiction belonging to him,
the order Is mere dissolution and not dis
charges nor can perceive any difference in
the exercise of the power by the court in which
the action is pending between a discharge and
a dissolution when the motion is heard on the
facts alleged In the petition and the afiidavts
accompanying it, The injunction is re-instat-
ed as II the leave had been given, and the or
der dissolving 1t had been made instead Of dis
charging It,"

stitntional Convention. The News has
frequently referred to this matter and
urged the people OF this county to take
some action. Irrespective Of political
parties, good man should be called out
for the honorable position, There ia i'm
portant work to be done among the mem
bers OF this body, not only for the benefit
OF the people of to-day, but FIR genera
tons to come perhaps" Our present con-
stituion has not been disturbed for forty
years. and the new one that is to be franz

slrument, aud make any additions or sug-
eestions tina, appear valuable, will our

TINS following from the Sunday Eye,
brieb, and in,eIigenily edited paper pub
lished at Bloomington, Ill strikes us as
being in the pr oper spirit on the death OF
a great American citizen, Ii is in striking
contras, to the expressions OF some OF our
own citizens who even refused to allow
memorial service to be held in their church
on the day OF this distingu shed mans
burial The Eye says:
can classes, all people, all politics and all
men have contribut ted to the expressions OF
grief occasioned by the death OF Jefferson
Davis. In his death 1t Is remembered that he
was an Amer lean, bad fought beneath the
stars and stripes, atd served the nation in the
halls of legislation and was an upright private
citizen, though at last he became the chief oil
desperate and suicidal attempt upon the unity
OF the Republic through devotion 10 Princi-
pie which undoubtedly he thought right. Let
us consider that success or failure makes or
mars the fame Of every human being; let u
imagine what Washington would have been
had he failed let us acknowledge that no
man or no cause is measured by their inten-
tons but alone by their achievements, and
from this outlook we may impartially judge
the motives that actuated jefferson Davis.
That many hearts all over the North magnan-
imously mourn the death of great American
citizen there Obounds generous testimony on
all sides. The rest is with the future historian
who unmoved by the feelings that animate
those who make history will write the motives
and career of jefferson Davis with the I'M
BIASED pen Of truth moved by unalterablc
