United States Court, Charleston, May 1.?Iu the matter of the Atlanta and Air-Line Railroad Company, and the Blue Bidge Railroad Company it was ordered that the injunction hereto? fore granted be modified, so as to permit the said Atlanta and Air-Line Railroud to run their trains upon said Blue Bidg'e Railroad to tho point of tho section of the railroads, whioh lies to the East in tbe direotion of Greenville from eaid Blue Ridge Railroad, and do all manner of work upon that portion of their lino.

It is stated that tho large in? crease both ill the number of failures and' tho amount involved for 1872 is due to the gradual extension of credits. This eeems to ba confirmed by the fact that the greatest increase is in the South and I West, where credits have been most ex? panded. Thro failures in Alabama in? creased from $525,000 in 1871 to 81,501, 000 in 1872; in Georgia, from $964,000 to $1,293,000; in. Kentucky, from $1, 163,000 to $2,059,000; in Louisiana, from;$2,437.000 to $3,100,000; in Mis? souri, from $1,995,000 to $2,670,000; in Michigan, from $1,621,000 to $2,720, 000; iu 'Wisconsin, from $386,000 to 31,127,000. The ?Sun adds: There is no doubt that this lengthening of credits is injurious to .the business of the country ?-it js injurious both to creditor and to debtor. If the short credit system whioh prevailed just after* tho war could bo renewed and maintained, it would be worth millions of dollars a year to the country. - A Clear H weep of Congressional F?rnitube.?The Bale of desks, tables and cbuirs of tho House of Representa? tives took, place in Washington, on the 8tht in the presence of several hundred persons.'
