after the passage Of the act was the
above styled suit, Reeves VS.. Johnston,
being heard at vicksburg. The Judge
of the lower court, on his own motion
dismissed the case. The Revenue
Agent appealed the case to the Su-
preme Court which body handed down
the decision above mentioned, sustain
ing the action of the lower court. This
is the most far reaching decision that
has been rendered by the Mississippi
Supreme Court in many years.
1t will be remembered that when the
bill was before the Governor Of the
State for his signature he announced
that he would veto it on the ground
that it was unconstitutional. It will
also be remembered that number Of
the Governors Greenwood friends, and
people from other parts Of the state
went to jackson and induced him 70
