THE DIspENsARY INJUNCTION.
Attorneys for South Carolina Gratiiled a.
the Course Of the sunreme Cnurt

attorneys FOR South Carolina Gratined ut
the Course of the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-The attorneys
who have represented the State govern.
ment OF South Carolina in its opposition
to the dlspensary injunc ton issued by
Judge Simonton, are much gratified
over the course Of the Supreme Court In
deciding TO hear the main question in.
VOWED on the application for writ OF
haoeas corbus for the constable who
was arrested for contempt of court,
at an early day after the reassemb-
ling or the court next October, the ar
guments will be presented and thu de.
cision OF the court in the case OF this
constable will doubtless settle finally
the validity OF Judge Simonsons order,
| for the question involved is the precise
one outlined in the bill OF com plant
upon which the injunction WAS grained
Mr. Johnson, attorney for the State of
South Carolina, says that he Is not In a
position to predict the course to be
taken by the State authorities pending
the Supreme Courts decision, but he
thinks that Judge Simonton will be
very conservative in taking any steps
against the State officers to enforce his
injunction.
From another source 1t is learned
tnat Judge Simonton has intimated shat
he would not interfere to prevent the
seizure OF liquors found in the posses
sion OF parties who are nosoriously eu-
gagged in Illicit traffic and and who
might attempt to fall back upon the
plea that the goods were purchased for
their own consumption. The governor,
1t is learned, has determined to proceed
with the enforcement of the dispensary
law as though no iniunc ton had been
issued.

Another Dispatch.

BLUEFIELD, w. Va, June 4.-More
soldiers arrived in Pocahontas to-day.
The coal operators claim that since the
partial withdrawal Of the militia the
miners have grown holder, and an
organized attack was feared by the
operators on the men in the mines. The
coal companies contemplated evicting
all men who were not working from
their homes to-day, but this was de-
ferred for fear OF trouble, and further
effort will be made to induce the men
to go to work
Lnwless and Webb held meeting q
mile from Pocahontas this evening. 1t
was attended by 500 men. Lawless said
the coal companies could not hold out
much longer. Governor O'Ferrall WAS
denounced for his new move in sending
more troops to Pocahontas. Lawless
said the strike would continue peace
fully.
The output OF the Virginia mines has
been smaller than the average for the
past ten days. The West Virginia men
who are mining have reduced force t
work and the shipments from this place
are not large. The West Virginia oper-
ators have still large guard on duty to
see that the men are not molested. No
move is in sight looking to a termination
OF the strike and the sending of new
soldiers has aroused the miners.

Special to THE TIMES.
PoCAHoNTAs, June 4.-The situation
here to-day is of little more than usual
interest. from the fact that the strikers
held we'll attended meeting at the
Tunnels to-day There were about
four hundred people present, and the
meeting was rather enthusiastic.
1t WAS first addressed by Webb, who
spoke for one hour, in which he told the
strikers that no was only fighting for
justice. He wanted scales, and scales
he would have, if he had to camp with
them until the falling OF the leaves and
the falling of winters snow and the
budding forth Of the leaves again In the
spring The men seem very much de-
termlned and the concensus OF opinion
among them is that they will never sub
NIT 30 anything but scales.
Webb's speech was very conservative
and sensible, and was altogether OF a
conciliatory nature. Webb was toll
lowed by Lawless, who spoke about the
same length Of time. He heaped abuse
on everything and everybody who
oppose him or Ills methods.
The Blueheld morning paper was
abused in uncomfortable terms, and the
railroad company and Southwest In
provement Company were compared to
the cities OF Sodom and Gomorrah. He
prayed that God would rain fire and
birthstone on them and destroy them in
all their wickedness.
He spoke OF meeting Major Simons a
few days since, and referred to his lame
ness in most sacrilegious manner
Governor O'Ferrall and his Virginia
Militia came In for their usual share OF
abuse. The meeting continued all day
The Pocahontas mines are doing good
work; they are losding about 1875 cars
per day and they arc being loaded full.
Elkhorn will load more than fifty cars
to day.
Your correspondent interviewed a
prominent operator on the situation and
was told that the operators in the Pro.
ducers' Association mot yesterday in
secret session, and had decided to un-
dertake to resume work on Monday or
Wednesday next. 1t is understood that
they will adjust scale of wages some
what reduced, but which they claim are
equal to the old scale now paid to the
miners OF the six operations who are
working after machines.
1t is not believed they will succeed in
working, but one operator says that he
has the promise OF eleven OF his bess
men to begin with.
