heen overlooked when the invitations for
AtIanta's peace jubilee were sent out. and
the result is there is a good deal of quiet
comment among them which is not par
ticularly favorable to the windy city.
They say, but not for publication, of
course. that Atlanta is always ready and
willing to ride them when there is a
chance TO do anything for Atlanta, and
they are somewhat surprised that they
should not at least have been hOnored
with invitations. Atlanta would probably

A TENNESSEE STATUTE VOID
WAS A RESTRICTION on THE
BUSINESS OF OTHER STATES.


Act of 1877 Giving Resident Credit
ors n Preference, Declared UncOn-
stitutionaI by the Supreme Court.
Justice Harlan said the DiScrimi-
nation Was an Illegal One-Credit-
ors OF other states Must stand on
the Same Basis as Those of Ten
nessee. .r
Washington. Dec 12.vJustioe Harlan to-
day delivered the opinion Of the United
States Supreme Court in the case of c.
C. Blake and others against Calvin M.
McClung, appealed from the Supreme
Court of the state Of Tennessee.
This case involves the validity of the
Tennessee state law OF ISL, giving resi-
dent creditors of a foreign corporation do
ing business in the state, a preference in
the distribution of assets in case of fail
ure over creditors of such corporation
who reside outside the limits of the state.
The case grew out of complications arts
ing In the settlement of the affairs of the
Embreeville Freehold Land and' Iron
| Company of Great Britain. doing business
in Tennessee This corporation became in
solvent and the Tennessee authorities in
the distribution of the assets Disseminated
in favor of the Tennessee creditors in ac-
cordance with the terms of the law, to
the disadvantage of those residing outside
the state, including Blake and others act
ing with him, who were residents of
Ohio.
This determination of the matter was
attacked upon the ground that the law
is repugnant to the second section of Ar
ticle of the constitution of the United
States, declaring that the citizens of each
state shall be entitled to al the privileges
and immunities of citizens in the several
states"
In his opinion, Justice Harlan said that
the state statute, while not prohibiting
! business between the Embreeville Com
! pany, which was engaged in business In
| Tennessee and the citizens of other states,
operated as a restriction upon this bust
! ness; that such discrimination against the
! citizens of other states was unconstitu-
tional, lin that by legislation of that kind
privileges connected with trade and COM
merce are accorded by Tennessee to its
own citizens, that are denied by 1t to the
citizens of other states.
! Hence the conclusion was reached thai
| creditors of other states stand on the SAME
plane as creditors resident in Tennessee
in the adjudication of the company's af-
fairs In the case of the Hun Coal ant
Coke Company of Virginia, also creditor
of the defunct company, the court held
| that the second section Of the fourth art'
Gle of the constitution did not apply tC
the corporation as it did to individuals
| that corporations were not citizens Of
states, in the sense that they shall be en-
titled to all privileges and immunities o.
citizens in the several states.
1t was also held that this company hat
no claim under the provisions of the
fourteenth amendment, as there did no
appear to have been a lack of due pro
| cess of law.
The chief justice and Justice Brewer dis
scented from the opinion. laying stress upoi
the fact that the constitutional provision
| involved referred to citizens and not t,
! residents in specific terms.
