He shows signs of wear, if not colla!pse.: His peculiarly pallid omplexion . now looks . pasty. No President since Lincoln has been so accessible to. "the plain people." He sent fbr Pritchard today to explain the inadvertence which caused the de lay in sending. Maj. Rollins' - name to The Senate for postmaster at Ashe ville. The appointment was made to lay. The Senator was also informed that the appointment of Judge of the .eastern' district would not be made until the President's return.

INVOLVING NUMEROUS PARTIES AND IM PORTANT INTERESTS. Brllllvnt Array of Counsel The Most In- terestlng Legal Battle Ever Fought In the State. Special tq "The Tribune.- i ' ' Greensboro, N.' C, April 5. In the United State's Circuit .Court, before Judge Simonton tomorrow, the argument will begin in the case of the Southern Railway Company vs. Gov- ernor Russell, Attorney General Wal- ser and tne irresiaent ana uirectors of the North Carolina Railroad. The matter is in the form of a bill in equity praying that the several parties de- . .. tenaant may oe restramea irom Dnng- ing suit in the State courts to annul the ninetv-nine year lease of the North Carolina Railroad to the South . -" - i - ern Railway. Upon the reading of the bill before Judge Simonton at the re- rent sittins- of the Circuit Court at Lynchburg, Va., a temporary restrain ing order was issued, against the de lenaants ana tne case wa :uuwfl for hearing in this city tomorrow. ;' At it . . i i-L ' iL tne same time, ana p , 111 same uoiiuecuuu, - tral Trust Company of New York vs. The Southern Railway and the North ,.a wn Ka oT.o.d Tn this suit, as in the other, the; aetena- ants are under a restraining oiuei. oraer. The object of this suites to enjoin the defendants from engaging ill litigation , v.j iioAi Or irom aomg aiiytums lu s v. voiiio hf thA impair or destroy the alue ot tne plaintiff's' securities, it , being the OT1,rar,fnr of thft bonds of the Southern r A . s I An important side issue that is ; ex- I Deciea iu use wiilci uiC vyV,v rights of the old ana new cjiate xji- i rectors of the North Carolina Railroad, The old directors, who made the lease and who were in office at the time the suit was begun, have employed coun sel to answer for them. The; new di rectors, who wei;e appointed by) Gov ernor Russell to succeed the former board, it is expected, will ask to j be made parties and be permitted to an swer. Incidentally the question may be raised whether, the removal of the old board and the appointment of the new was legal. . ' ; A large and brilliant array of coun sel is here, representing the '.various interests concerned in the suits; The contest will be one of the most inter esting legal battles ever 'fought in North Carolina, and the consequence of the, result will be far reaching, whichever way the -decision of the court may go. It is expected that the argument will be concluded in two days,, though it may continue longer. The suit of Tucker vs. the Governor and .others in regard to the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad will most likely be heard immediately after the .conclusion . of the argument in the other cases.' Except as to the author ity of Federal courts to enjoin the offi cers of a State from performing cer tain acts, the questions involved in this case are entirely different from the others, as the constitutionality of the two acts of the General Assembly is to be decided. i The regular spring term of the Unit ed .States district court. Judge Dick presiding, will convene this morning. There is the usual number of cases against internal revenue offenders to be tried. . TEEBEE. Rli INJUNCTION SUIT RALEIGH, N.

The' resolution offered by Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.), on Thursday last, in regard to drum-head touii-maniai on general civera. in j .ii. i , Cuban debate, in the Senate. Mr. Al lens resolution declared it to be the duty of the; United States to protest against this violation of the laws of civilized warfare. Mr. Hoar (Rep., Mass.) declared that the whole- resolution was founded or rumor, misunderstanding and prophe cy; that the Senator from Nebraska had no facts to go upon except -news paper rumors. Mr. Allen retorted, with some bit terness, that in the four years he hat sac m tne senate ne nad never once been able' to introduce a resolution which had met the approval of the senior member from , Massachusetts For his own part, he felt so strongly on tnis matter tnat ne woum . grina into a million infinitesimal bits the hearts of the brutal Spaniards" unless they relaxed their cruel treatment of the Cubans. And yet, because he ex pressed his views in true western style, fcLllu nut ill tne fuusei vauvc iiiamici ui; Massachusetts in the judgment of the senior Senator from that State, he (Mr. Allen) had acted under the im- pulse of a heated imagination. Mr: Hale (Rep., Maine) mov.ed that the resolution be referred to the Com- Turnrfran ;pMVnrPfl to Hraw from Mr. Hale an admission that there was a state of war existing in Cuba, but Mr. Haledeclined to acknowledge jthat tnere was more tnan a Kueriiia' ntrni i tViora wflcj mnrp than a. Eriierilla.? fielit . devastation of nronerty. with accompanying loss of life. Mr. Gallinger (Rep., N. H.) infused more gall into the debate by a satirl cal attack upon Mr. Hoar who, he said, had disposed of this whole question by a wave of his hand, apparently sup posing that any utterance of his em bodied the views of. all the other mem bers of the Republican side of this chamber. Mr. Gallinger proceeded to dispel this view. Referring to Mr. Hoar's statement in a previous debate that the first Cuban rAvnlntlon in Prpsident Grant's time. wouId have been successful, but for the intemDerate resolutions introduced in thp, cpn;,tf. Mr. Gallineer read from the Record to show that the first of those "intemnerate resolutions." which "; r X" S L Z::,:: fmm the r?ijtininiiRhPrl Rpna tor from Ohio, John Sherman, now the Secretary ot totate or a itepuDiican aa ministration ana Decunariy cnargea L.!4u ..

He (Mr. Hoar) declined to follow tnat leaa. out wouia content himself with justifying by facts the opinions he had expressed, even though that should compel him to part com pany with his "sweet and delectable friend from New Hampshire." ' Mr. Stewart (Pop.. Nev.), at the whispered suggestion of Mr. Allen, who crossed the floor for that purpose, called the ayes and noes on the ques- j tion of referring the resolution to the Committee on Foreign Relations. The motion to refer was lost: Ayes, 21: noes.- 27. Two suggested amend- ments of phraseology were adopted by Mr. Allen, and the resolution swras adopted by a vote -pt ,44 ayes and no nays. The resolution as modified and adopted is in these words: "Whereas information has come to the Senate that General Ruiz Rivera, a leader of the Cuban army of inde pendence, recently captured by the Spanish forces, is to be tried by a drum-head court-martial and - shot. Therefore, "Resolved, That in the judgment of the Senate, it. is the duty of the Presi dent of the United States if such infor. mation is found to be true, to protest to the Spanish government against such a'violation of the rules of civilized warfare." As the morning hour had expired, Mr. Morgan's resolution extending bel ligerent rights to both Spain and Cuba, offered last Thursday, w'ent over till to-morrow. Mr. Elkins (Rep., W. Va.) addressed the Senate In support of his bill to al low a rebate of ten per cent on customs duties in favor of merchandise import ed tn ressels of the United States. Mr. Lindsay (Dem., Ky.) addressed the-Senate in favor of the, bankruptcy bill.
