Injunction.?The County Treasurer
of Abbeville bos been enjoined from pay?
ing outfeny moro money from the taxes I
oolleoted for school purposes in that
Connty. As near as we oan learn, the ]
injunction is but a preliminary one,
granted by Judge Oooke. The follow?
ing appears to bo the case in brief, as'
now presented, viz: Under instructions
from State Superintendent Jillson,
Treasurer DuPre refused to pay claims
for services rendered by teachers during
the fisoal year 1871-72, out of funds ool?
leoted for the fisoal year 1872-73, where?
upon Mr. J. J. Knox brought an action,
in the nature of an injunction, against
him, when tbe preliminary order was
granted. The notion of the County
Treasurer in this matter is in, it is euid,
entire harmony with the ruling of tho
Attorney-General under similar circum?
stances. Mr. DuPro has retained coun?
sel, and the injunction will, in all proba?
bility, be dissolved, aud the affairs per?
taining to his office will then move on as
smoothly as horetofore.
