tiOual

COLUMBIA, S. c., May S.-The deci-
sion in the registration case of Mills vs..
Green was read by Judge Golf in the
U. s. Circuit Court to-day. Judge Golf
holds that the court has jurisdiction;
that no official, State or national, is
above the law; as to the constitu
tionality of the registration laws
that citizens of State are citi-
zens of the United States resid-
ing in that State. The plaintiffs, Mills,
claims are sustained by the decision of
the court, which holds that the regis
tration laws requirement of cerititica-
tew is not warranted by law; that the
registration law is unconstitutional in
such requirements that the constitu.
tional convention act does not cure these
defects; that the whole laws are uncon-
stitutional that the proceeding is not against
the State that this court is court OF the
State Of South Carolina as OF the United States
Judge Golf, therefore, makes the injunction
permanent against the enforcement OF the
South Carolina registration and election law.
Judge Simonton then read his decision in
the dispensary case Of Donald VS.. State Con.
stables, declaring that the court had jurisdic-
ton, that the provisions of the dispensary law

law were made effective. they would be
compelled to pay. Mr.. Choate said he
did not appear here as advocate for
these classes, but he deemed it to be
his duty to say that the assertion was
unfounded. In the time Of stress and
war, when young men gave of their

from the decision of the court of April
to sustain his contention, that personal
property was subject only to direct
| tax levied and collected by the rule of
apportionment. The exception of in.

alton of the law, Mr.: Choate said, was
even less defensible or excusable than

companies. Its object was to make the
law applicable only to very small pro-
portion of the people, largely residing
in few of the States, the old seaboard
States, who gave up so much in the
compromise that resulted in the adop-
ton of the constitution. At 2 o'clock

DANGERS OF THE PoToMAC.-Gov.
Greenhalge and two officers of his staff
spent yesterday in Washington. he
sent his card to the White House.
Gov. Greenhalge has received a very
unfavorable opinion of the navigation
of the Potomac river, for the reason
that, owing to the absence of light
houses and buoys, the steamer on
which he travelled from Norfolk to
Washington was greatly delayed.
Governor Greenhalge says: "Why,
there was light house burnt d
down over n year ago on the Pc
tomac which has not been replaced.
There is a great inadequacy of lights,
and the river is not properly buoyed.
1t seems to me that it is disgrace to
the national government to leave this
waterway in such a condition. The
navigation of the tortuous stream is
made more difficult and dangerous
than it ought to be"

PROPOSED WHOLESALE MARKET
The farmers and truckers of Virginia

the action of the District commissioners
on the proposition to turn the hay.
market into a market for wholesale
farmers and truckers. A delegation
appeared before the commissioners yes.

whether the farmers, with their bulky
products, should have the entire square
or the truckers should have part of it.
Mr.. G. M. Henault, of Prince Georges
county, Md, proposed that three hun
dred stands be marked off for the
truckers, and ten cents a day be
charged as rental. T. w. Burr, of
Herndon, Va, presented petition
signed by thirty-eight market men ad.
vocating division. He also suggested
a board of control composed of seven
to make the necessary regulations. He
proposed that the farmers and truckers
be divided into three classes-one the
bulky product dealers, another the
gardeners and vegetable dealers and
the third the live stock dealers. On
the board were to be four from the first
class-two from the District and one
each from Maryland and Virginia; from
the second class, one from Mary
land and one from Virginia and
one from the third class. The matter
is still in allowance.
