JUDGE GoFF OYERRULED.

The injunction granted by Judge
Golf in the South Carolina registration
cases was yesterday dissolved by the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
in Richmond. Judge Hughes yester-
day afternoon announced in court that
the Injunction was dissolved and de-
cree to that effect would be entered.
Chief Justice Fuller was not able to be
present. Judge Hughes said that the
opinion of the court would be written
by the Chief Justice and fled later.
The judges decided after adjournment
last Friday that it was case which re-
quired prompt action and that they
would give their decision at this term
OF the court, which ended yester-
day. The opinion of the court was
unanimous. None of the counsels
were present, and it is not known
whether an appeal will be taken to the
Supreme Court OF the United States or
not. The decision places the status Of
South Cardinals registration laws ex-
actly as they were before Judge Goff's
injunction declaring them unconstitu
tional, and they will govern in the
election of delegates to the constitu-
tional convention this summer.
In a memorandum filed with the
court Judge Hughes says: "This bill
of complaint cannot be main
tanned, for it asserts no threat
ened Infringement of rights of
property or civil rights and: no ade-
quate ground for equity interposition.
Being of this opinion the restraining
orders must be reversed and the cause
remanded with directions to dismiss
the BILL"
The case in which Judge Golf was
yesterday overruled was decided by
him in Columbia, S. c., May s. 1t in
volved the constitutionality of the reg
istration act passed by the Legislature
in 1894. Judge Golf held that the
State machinery for the voters was an
abridgement of the rights guaranteed
by the constitution of the United
States, and he issued an order restrain
ing Supervisor Green from perform
ing the duties of his Office. Judge Golf
declared that the purpose of the South
Carolina registration laws was to ia
cilitate the voting of white citizens
while making it difficult for the colored
voters to prepare for casting their bal
lots. From this decision the State
took an appeal to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, and argument
was heard at Richmond last Friday be-
fore Chief Justice Fuller and District
Judges Hughes and Seymour. The de-
cision of the Circuit Court of Appeals
upholds the contention of the State
and maintains the constitutionality of
the registration law.

DEposED FROM THE MINISTRY
When the Pittsburg, Pa, presbytery
assembled yesterday, Rev. George H.
Sheldrake, D. D., was summoned for
trial. He did not appear but sent q
long letter explaining his case. He
admitted living with his housekeeper,
but said he had entered into contract
to marry her as soon as he could get a
divorce from his wife, who is now
working on a Chicago paper. He
thought that under the circumstances
his wrongs had been excused. The
presbytery, however, took this as q
confession, and deposed him from the
ministry, and excluded MIN from the
communion of the church. Rev. Geo.
II. Sheldrake was born in England,
came to this country eighteen years
ago, did missionary work through the
south, and has occupied prominent pull
pits in Pittsburg, Chicago, Cincinnati
and Toledo. He is now living in Gin
cinnati.

conceivable that some of the outrages
referred to were committed by human
