Tie Railroad War.

On Monday last in the United States
Circuit Court in Charleston all the rail
roads running through South Carolina
united in a suit against the Comptroller
General and County Treasurer and She
riff of every county in the State. The
papers presented TO Judge Simonton give
the grounds upon which the action is
based substantially as follows:
First. That The ailroads had returned
all properties belonging to them at the
regular rate at VIII CHI other property in
the State is returned.
Second. That the State board of equali-
cation had largely increased this valua-
ton, in some cases doubling and trebling
the amount.
Third. That this would result in fore
ing railroad companies to pay more taxes
than other property-holders. and eonse-
quently was denying said companies the
protection Of the law.
1t was further set forth that under the
Constitution OF this State real estate was
required 70 be assessed only once in five
years. while the law declares explicitly
that all railroad real estate is personal
property, and at the same time under
the law a lien IS given on the right OF
way and other real estate of the RAJ
roads as though it were land. The
grounds upon which the cases were taken
into the Equity Court are simply to avoid
suits of law in every county in the State
through which these roads pass. as well
as to remove the shadow on their titles
which The lien would suggest.
Continuing their recital, the railroads
set forth in their bill that at the proper
times and places they had made in gold
and silver money a tender Of their taxes
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1892-03-10

based upon the true value Of their pro-
perty. and that they now stand ready to
paw the said tender into the hands OF the
Court.
At the time these tenders were made
the Treasurers in every case refused to
accept the money, acting under instruc-
tons from the Comptroller General, and
that the railroad companies were now
threatened by Treasures and Sher1hs
with a levy upon their property, action
which, if taken, would cause the roads
great damage and prevent them from
exercising their business as common car
riers.
In view of these things it was petit
toned that the Court would restrain
Treasures and Sheriffs from levylne
upon the railroads property.
Judge Simonton, after hearing the
prayer of the petitioners, issued an order
enioining the Treasures and Sheriffs o.
the State from issuing such executions
until April 4, unless the order should of
set aside. and requiring in addition tina
the railroad companies, the complain
ants. give bonds, ranging from $500 t.
$1,000 each, for costs and damages II
case the injunction should be set aside.
The order of injunction was served o.
Treasurer Crisp and Sheriff Moss, 0
Gconee, Tuesday.
This is the beginning of long litiga
ton, which will surely cripple tn
finances OF the State, and hinder an
delay the payment of all claims agalns
the State and counties.

Judge Lynch.

Lynched III Missouri!
Lynched in Alabama!
L.vnehed in Arkansas.
Lynched in Virginia!
Lynched in Louisiana!
Thus reads the record in Judge Lynch's
Court for the last few days; AID an
appalling record it is! 1t may be true
the victims had committed the most dia-
bolical crimes-outrages, even the most
fiendish and Drutal-but the boldness OF
the lynchers argues a fearful want OF
confidence in the Courts. The reign OF
mob-law seems well nigh universal, and
is to be deplored, The simple recital OF
the horrible details of II lynching is
sufficient to point the moral. At Texar-
kama. Ark. on February 20, Ed. Coy was
burned for an outrage committed just a
week before. When captured he was
carried TO town and placed under guar
to await the return of the posse VIC
were out. When they were all in, a ope
was brought, but a shout went u from
5000 throats that he must be h'thed. ne
was accordingly carried out town ana
strapped to a tree by iror.astenings ana
coal oil poured all ov~ him. Another
shout went up to ..le-Mrs. Jewell apply
the match.o and IL lady, who had pre-
viously fully identified him as the wretch
who outraged h., slowly emerged from
the crowd, ver pale and leaning on the
owns of ~ male relatives, and unhesi-
t~a+inql~ alked forward to the spot and
a parlor match and applied it to
&c negro-s clothes in two places. In a
second he was a mass of flames, and in
about twenty minutes he was dead.
This terrible vengeance may have been
merited; but why not let the law
take its course and mete out speedy pun
ishment to the vile wretch?
There is & lurking danger of greater
harm accruinS from the widespread
of mob-law than from the acts of
criminals who receive such summary
punishment. There is no ease in al
mob, and when once melted against
one who may be innocent, no power on
can restrain its mad career and
save the innocent. The spirit of lawless-
ness runs riot, and the life of the citizen
is imperiled. Isn't it high time to call a
national crime congress?

Taking a row boat we are padded out a
