THE PORT ROYAL AND AUGUSTA.
Eject of the CentraPs Recent Pro-
ceedings.

The Port Royal and Augusta litigation
is likely to prove even more interesting
than it has so far. The proceedings re-
Gently instituted by the Central railroad
will keep the matter in court. The NORN-
ING News announced some days ago the
filing of cross bills by the Central and
Port Royal and Augusta in the proceed
ings in the United States court, setting
up their rights, and asking an adiudica-
ton in their favor.
The effect of these cross bills, according
to the Charleston News and Courier. in n
recent lengthy article, will be TO prevent
the state from Withdrawing its original
proceedings and enforcing the repeating
act, and the litigation will go on to its
end
The News and Courier goes on to saw:
$50 far from the act Just passed by the
legislature, therefore, summarily putting
the corporation out of the courts and de-
Driving it of fair trial, the litigation
will be only increased. The state mas
committed an act of gross injustice, and
at the same time failed to accomplish its
purpose. Notice has also been given bv
the Port Royal and Augusta Railway
Company and the Central Railroad of
Georgia in the United States court to
have the present receiver and his counsel
removed. The grounds on which theirre-
moval is sought are, that in lieu of re-
naming neutral, as was their duty, they
have been partisan, and that Mr..
Smythe, whilst nominally acting as
receivers counsel, has in fact, in the legis-
lature, been urging the passage of the re-
pealing act, this act being in the interest
of the parties who organized the plan of
the litigation, and directly against the
interest of the owners of the property.
whose interests as receivers counsel he
was bound to protect. How it will end it
is impossible to say. The Port Royal and
Augusta railway insists it only wishes
fair trial in the courts, the same rights
accorded to all other persons and corpora
lions. This trial the state has attempted
to refuse. Whether it can so summarily
legislate away the rights of others, with
out process of law, can only be settled by
the United States supreme court.

FINED THEM $40 APIECE.
Recorder Wilson Has a Tussle With
the DeLyons Case.

The continued case of William DeLyons,
charged with assaulting Samuel Dawson
and William Rich, was called for trial in
the police court yesterday morning.
1t was simply impossible to arrive at
the true facts in the case, as no
direct evidence was brought out.
Christmas day, he, in company
with Rich, went out cunning. When OPP
posite Grapevine avenue, which runs at
right angles to the Ogeechee road, they
were confronted byu the negro. DreLy-
ons, who in a loud voice demanded the
gun which Dawson carried, at the same
time flourishing brick bat. Dawson re-
fused to give up the gum and as he stated
a crowd of negroes numbering about
twenty ran out from the avenue, and be-
gan to assault him. He was thrown to
the ground and the gun was wrested
from him.
Rich when called upon, made state
ment identical with that of Dawson.
A negro named Sheftall stated that he
was talking to Dawson, and that DeLy-
ons was standing near. He examined
Dawson's gun and DeLyons made re
quest to look at it. This Dawson refused.
On being asked by Sheftall what he was
going to shoot, Dawson replied, "niggers
or ducks and pointed the gun at DeLy-
ons.
The testimony of J. H. Royal, col
ored undertaken, had no direct bearing on
the assault. Nobody could explain how
jacobson was struck with the
brickbat DeLyons carried. The
supposition is that he interfered
in favor of Dawson, and received the hurt
IN this way. The gun which Dawson
carried was exploded in the scuf1e, and
Matilda Bowden stated that Immediately
thereafter, jacobson was struck She did
not know who threw the brick
The recorder fined Dawson and De-
Lyons $40 each. The former went before
Justice McDermott yesterday morning
and swore out q warrant of larceny
against DeLyons, charging him with
stealing the gun. Mr.. Jacobson is in bed
from the results of his wounds in the
face, which necessitated several stitches.
He is peaceable young man, and was
particularly unfortunate in receiving the
hurt, which is causing him much pain.

Brought Up in Parliament.

London, Dec. 27.-There was fair at
tendance in the House of Commons to-
day. when the members reassembled for
work after their short Christmas holiday.
The government benches wero well filled,
but 1t was remarked that there was no

days sitting was John Moerley, chief sec
rotary for Ireland, who has been
i'll and absent for some time
past, and who was loudly
cheered upon his return to duty.
TOWER HILLS FIREBRANDs.
Henry Asquith, the home secretary, in
replying to question put by Knatchbull-
Hugessen, an independent conservative, ~
as to what steps the government in
Tended to take regarding the recent
speeches of violent nature delivered on
Tower Hill, said that he did not believe
the report of the utterances was accurate
but he added that the government was
making a careful inquiry into the
matter. The speeches referred TO were
delivered by two agitators, known as
Williams and LEVERS, who declared that
a secret society was in process of forma-
ton and that unless the demands of the
unemployed were satisfied before Christ
mas there would be a reign of terror in
London unprecedented in history
THE UTTERANoEs QUALIFIED.
Continuing, the home secretary said
that the utterances of the two men We're
so qualified that it was most difficult to
charge them with melting TO commit
crime. The government did not propose
to prosecute them unless their conviction
was reasonably certain. Both men were
well known and were being carefully
watched, and if they were using language
or taking measures calculated to incite
people to commit outrages they would be
Immediately arrested
Mr.. Gladstone, replying to a question
on the subject, said that it was inexpedi-
ent to make public inquisition regarding
the revenues which the Duke of Sake

NO INVESTIGATION YET.
The City Detective Row May Prove
Sensational.

Sensational
Some sensational incidents may develop
at the next meeting of the city council as
the result of the investigation of the city
detectives called for by the last meet
ing. Mayor McDouough is considerably
irritated at the criticism to which he has
been subjected on account of the appoint
ment of Mcdonald, who was acting as a
South Carolina dispensary spy in Savan-
nah, to do city detective work. He does
not relish the structures made by some
OF the aldermen upon his course, and
Is inclined, it is said, to call
them to account for their statements.
The investigation called for by council
OF the charges that city detective has
oeen aiding the dispensary spy in his
work. to the detriment of the mer-
chants, has not yet been held.
Alderman Dixon, who called for the in
vestigation, intimates that it may
result in white washing report. The
alderman has demanded that the investi-
