ROW ESCAPE FROM A SIM I LAIl FATE IN FOICMEK DAYS. On Wednesday evening about 1 o'clock, while Mr. Rufiin Holder, a well-to-do fanner ot Wake county, was driving to market with a load of cotton, the wagon wheel rati into a rut in the road, throwing Mr. II. from a bale of cotton, on which he was seated, BREAKING HIS NECK, and causing death almost instantly. Mr. II.'s home is near Earpsboro, in this county, and this accident occurred on the road near Crabtree, about three miles from this city. The report of the above called to our mind an almost similar accident, which happened to this same gen tleman several years ago. While riding on horseback near this city his horse stumbled and fell into an old well some 25 feet deep, breaking the horse's neck, but Mr. Holder was rescued from the pit uninjured, to meet the fate of his horse years afterwards. ( Mr. II. was about lifty years of age, and leaves a lrge family to mourn the occurrence of this acci dent. Graded Sctiools. We under stand that owing to the efforts and iberality of a Miss Rebecca Bacon, of New Haven, Conn., togetner with a few energetic citizens of Raleigh, there will be established a graded school for white children in his city, probably in July. This is a good move and we hope to see it successfully carried out. There are many poor men in Raleigh who are not able to send their children to private schools, and are unable to obtain for them a proper course ol instruction in the free schools now established ; and we feel sure that Miss Bacon, or any one else who . i! .i I.. 4i?a may tase an acuve irart m mio matter, will receive the heartfelt thanks of our workingraen; if a graded free school of a high order is established here. THE INJUNCTION CASE. Judge Watts Renders His Decision. Tim T'ljviiititlS sustniiieu and the Injunction tiiantca. To-day at 10 o'clock tho court s house was crowded wi in eager spectators to hear the decision. in the case of John C. Uorman and others against B. C. Manly and others, praying an injunction . to stop the coming city ejection.. Judge Watts stated that he felt con siderably worried over this case, both mentally and physically. lie then read the following as III8 DECISION : ; In the decision of this question, fully appreciating its magnitude and the importance of the issues in volved, not only as regards the parties to this action, but also as embracing the most momentous questions of constitutional law, l have endeavored to note with care every issue raised by the pleadings and every point made by the learn ed counsel, in the course of the pro lrrori n vpstifration. Immediate ly upon the application made for the writ, the questions involved be came matter for the gravest consid eration at my hands, and I endeav ored to prepare myself especially for the hearing, by an examination of authorities, upon the points qf law which would be supposed.to arise. Especially had I directed mv attention to the statutes bear ing upon the subject matter of the action. . ' . . And the opinions delivered in VanBokelyn vs. Canady.et al., in whichSthe constitutional qutestion, chiefly relied upon by the plaintiffs, had received lis nraw anu position at the hands of our Supreme Court... .. . I am franK to coniess mav i outset of the argument, my mind was so nearly maoe up :agaiuvv.. that I was unahlesee rJl. ,oJ in whifh the v could be en titled to the remedy for which they applied: The" questions whose an- swers seemeu iw mo iu . perable obstacles to .the pUuntiff . aucce,( were follows : . 1 Is any part vi i -a v- 1875, 1 unconstitutional, aud ' if so, how much? ' - : If this act, be, set aside in part, is not the repeal eintoced in, the i4th section, still operative : 1 3'Ifthe act be w-holly disregard ed must not the provisions of the acta of 1857 be regarded fts open to like objection ? - -;, fA tiio thA rnurt the power to grant injunction m a case of this natnrof - The fojcti that - the answer oi, me -T th nlaintiffs1 coin-; plaint; raises no substantial Issues tr rJ.h i,nnnt;W UPOh meVmUCIl against my wish, x - ...nu.i tHonifl nf a inrv. the im ?.reMTh Ai ofaiurv.theim iUKl WAiaV"',v" m portant questions involved in these proceedings. : The 'arbiter of impor tant interests has always a thank lass, and usually, unpleasant, task. Especially so when the interests which underlie - a contest have their roots in political feeling, and the acts which are to receive the scrutinity of. the 'court are part of the machinery whereby parties seek to acquire or retain power. Such is the apparent outcropping of the present case, and a more em barrassing task but seldom falls upon a jadge. In obedience to duty, I have patiently listened for three days, whie the whole matter has been argued by counsel whose very names are a guarantee for profound ity of research and subtlety of an alysis; And after hearing all that they presented to the court upon every point, lam compelled, in direct "opposition , to my first im pression, to hold that the plaintiffs are fully and clearly entitled to the relief demanded in their com plaint. The legislative act of Feb., ISTo, under the decision before referred to, is evidently obnoxious to the spirit and tenor of the Constitution in that it works a great disparage ment of the ballot, and produces a manifest disparity ofelectoral power among the voters of the various wards of the city. jSo one can fail to see that this disparity of electoral power was the purpose aimed at in the act, so far as it seeks to change the machinery Of the city govern ment. It has not been successfully shown that the act of 1857 continued in force by the consideration of ex traneous causes, such as the natural growth of the city, which would show an inequality in some of the more prosperous wards, is liable to a similar objection. I am also convinced that the re pealing section of the act of Feb., 1875, is so intimately connected and interwoven with the plan of gov ernment therein contemplated, that it cannot be upheld, if that be re jected, and must be declared inop erative because of its mutual de pendance upon the purpose and de sign of the act. I also regard the remedy by injunction as auxiliary to the relief by mandamus sought by the complaiut, and as peculiarly tit and proper in this instance, from the fact that the persons sought to be restrained are in no sense officers of the corporation but appointees of the Board of County, Commissioners of Wake county who are entirely outside of the city of Raleigh, and form no part of its governing power as a city or a cor poration, and can in nowise interfere with the citv government under the' broad principle heretofore an nounced, that the city must exer cise alone, without interference Irom any quarter, after its organization, (within Constitutional limitation,) its own local self-government, and if these persons, forming no part of the city government, but aliens so far as the corporation is concerned, interfering in its affairs, appointed, though they be, by a seemingly le gal, though' unauthorized, power, the writ of injunction must necessa rily apply to them as trespassers and usurpers of power and privi leges granted to another, and a dif ferently organiz-d and strictly le gal body. I am further convinced that the people of the city of Ualeigh, or the Aio.tfimi mm-er of the city of Ka- leiffh. cannot, under our system of government.whiie the Constitution remains in force, be deprived of the right to elect their? Mayor by a di rect vote of the electors, and any laws to the' contrary are utterly Void and subversive of the funda mental principle upon which our nrrnifr cm vpm ment rests. Daniel .Webster, the greatest of American statesmen, and an ac knowledged proficient in constitu tional law .announced, in one of the grandest efforts of his long, brilliant and useful life, "that all power in this government was anu lsuenvc. from the people ; that this is the people's government, made for the people, made by the !peopie, and that no power is surrendered by them, even in fundamental law, without the most urgent necessity, and that for - the good of the com monwealth, and that no doubtful construction of constitutions or of grant of powers, are admissable, but alt such grants of power must be plain and explicit upon the face rtf tio instruments." The prayer of the complaint is, therefore, granted; the writ, of mandamus Will issue, anu me pi ties named 'in the complaint will also be enjoined according to the prayer thereof. i Judge Tourgee, 'for the ' plain tiffs, then filed a judgment re straining the present registrars, in spectors, fcc, from interfering in anv- manner w ith the coming city election ; and calling an election in the three wards' according to the custom prior to the gerymandering act; of the Legislature at its iasi session; Which paper was signed, by His Honor ! 1 Mr. Busbee, on s the mother side, gave' notice' that they would ap peal to the Supreme Court.
