Toe decision of Judge Hodson ie the case against the Darlington Dispensar is to-day tba aaoat widely dbe oared an t ter before the public. It han patt another phase oo the Sute liquor monopoly, and wbUe the offi cials pretend to make light of it, there is, neretibeiess, consternation and trepidation io the administration camp. With them, the wish is father to the thought, for they knew fall well that to admit the correctness of Judge Bndaoa^ decision is to concede their own political rein; They bare tied themas! res to the dispensary system, they bare expended the $50,000, ap propriated for the purpose and pledged tbe credit of tbe State tor aa unknown amount nore to lay in a stock of liquor, by tbe sale cf which they expect to make money, reduce taxes and thus redeem tbs pledges made oo the stump. If tbe dispensary law is thrown ont as unconstitutional, the taxes will not be reduced hut heavily increased astead, for thc bills for liquors will hare to be paid. The aaahers of the administration already perceive the signs of dissatisfaction that is spreading among the people, and tn it foresee their official demise. They are beginning to catch the echo of the questions, "Wh i bas Tillman dene for the State?" "Has be re duced taxes?" Ko. "Has be decreased ex penditures? ' Ko. "Hasbe reduced salaries?" 'o. And Tillman, aod those who bare licked th ir fortunes with bis, fear the answer at the ballot box. if they make light of Judge Hudson's de* eaton, yet they fear it, for they wed keow bis legal ability. They know, also, bia fearless* nifss, for have they not attempted, uosucess .fuHy, to intimidate bia hy threats of retire* meat,' aad now they talk of impeachment. . Toere are no grounds for impeachment, but ' ve wish they would undertake it. No better opportunity for balding up to tbe gaze of tbe wucld,'i e*ruuscTupuiououv. could be dashed. They might even adjudge brm guilty, bat Judge Hodson would not late the respect of honest nd respectable people thereby. The law win now come np before the Supreme Cogrt on the question of itt consti tutionality, and-until theo tb administration wiU keep op tibold front, and will, no doubt, through tbek organ, The Register, attempt to Intimidate and influence the judges of that court. No effort will be spared, no meaos left untried ts lurotapllsli their purpose. U ia to the interest of tho faction (Tillman) that dispensante a mtsbhahed. as speed ly as poo* Stole.

Another ref01 uaw declared that the Legisla tura would impeach Judge 2nd ion, that public opinion of tba attorn faction demanded it. The Register declares that Judge Hudson's decision lestent h chances of rs-election. GOT. Tillman says: 1'Possibly {possibly, ?tad you,) Judge Hudson it honest io bit opinion, hat it it fruity,' hot that be dost ootseebow tba Judge coo be impeached for rendering a faulty decision."

Judge Hudson's Decision. - ______ The full text of Judge Hudson's decision io the Darlington Dispensary cate was given to the publie on Monday morning. It is of too great length to permit of publication io fall iu these columns, therefore the synopsis of the mau points it adopted from the Columbia faunal. The grounds oa which the injonction wat asked am: First, Because the petition of John Bock* aer Floyd for the office of dispenser is oot signed bj a majority of the freehold roten of the to wo, aad his bond is invalid, x Second, Because the act of 24th December, 1892, in so far as it provides for the ustabl V ment of State aad county dispensaries for the tafe of intoxicating liquors in that State it un constitutional. The defendants claim that the injunction sbccld ot ha granted, because, First. The complaint it without equity, inasmuch as it alleges no special or irrepar able injury To the plaintiffs, and Second, Because the court is without juris diction in thia proceeding to try the title ot J. B. Floyd to tnt office, aa action rn the nature of 9o wGTT&nio being thc proper proceed iee for that purpose, and the writ of certiorari 'being the only proceeding to correct any top* posed error of judgement of the board of con trol in granting the permit. Judge Hudson say : "I do not take such a view of this ac tion. It is brought by taxpayers and freehold voters,oat ta try title to office nor to correct error of judgment rn a judicial body, bot to prevent the establishment of a Dispensary without a fol! compliance by the board and apf k&nt for disponte with the essential pre requisites of the act, and to prevent the ct tahlitbmeat of a dispensary altogether if the act be unconstitutional. 1 The remedy by the. injunction is appro priate to this end, and in tact ts the only effi cacious retoedy ; and taxpayers and freehold voters of the town can invoke tho aid ot the court of equity in taco an action without al leging or proving special damage. "It avtbe-right of the taxpayer to avert the misappropriation of the taxes of the people by an illegal diversion or investment of the same and for that purpose the door of the courts are always open to bim." As lo the somber of freehold voters who had signed toe petition of J. B. Fiord, after hearing the many conflicting affidavits pre sen ted, Judge Hudson says; "I am convicted, however, that the peti tioner, J. B. Floyd, did not tocare oa bit pe titioB a majority, and so bold. "The act ts very stringent in requiring the majority to sign freely, voluntarily and with a full understanding of the meaning of the petition. The hoard, therefore,, acted illegally in granting Floyd his permit.' *' Of the second clause be says, after review ing many authorities and citing numerous precedents : "Can the act of 24th December,' 1892, now under consideration, be sustained as coming within the polie* power of the State ? "rn to lax as it prohibits the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor? n this State it can. This question bas long been settled by the courts of the States of the Union and recently ia express terms by oar Supreme Court. "Bat the vital question it wnether it it con stitutional for the Legislature to confer upon th government of this State or any branch thereof, tbe exclusive right to trade tn intoxi cating liquors aad maintain the tame from the treasury of the State: Can that body divert the taxes of toe people from tbs legiti mate purposes of government, and invest tba money m tba trade and traffic in intoxicating liquors to tba exclusion of tho right of the people to deal therein ? "There is no warrant in tba constitution for Sha creation of to gigantic a monopoly in any private individual or ? mo cfit too of in livid axis. The attempt to erect snob a monopoly would vary justly alarm aad out rage the people, aad would not stand the test of law. To confer upon an individual or a cor poration, under wholesome rules aad regula tions, the exclusive right to tell iotoxicatiog liquors to the State of Sooth Carolina would be unconstitutional ; not because such a grant is prohibited expressly by tbe constitution, bot because it is against tbe genios and spirit of all free governments, and it is in violation of the common law rights of the people, as banded down to us through the X agna Charta of King Jobs, and which form the web and woof and warp of our fundamental law and individual rights. "Neither ia express terms nor by any implication have tbe people delegated to this government, either ia its legislative, execu tive or judicial department, to engage in trade, trafic or commerce in competition with the people, much less to the exclusion. The government cannot become sole proprietor nor copartner in soy of tbe usual known branches of industry, trade or commerce. These are the pursuits and property of the people, which they have never surrendered to the government. On the contrary, tbe very ot j -ct of creating the government waa to pro tect Ibera in these individual rights, to wit, life, liberty, property and toe pursuit of hap piness. "lt violates tbe Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of tbe United States and Sections 11 sod 13 of tbe Declarations of Rights of the Constitution of South Carolina, designed to secure to every one accused of crime the right of trial by jury, io wbieb be shall not be compelled to give evidence against himself. "lt violate* Section 8, Article 1, of tbe Constitution, giving to Congress the power, among other things, 'to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes.' The decision in tbe 'original package cases' was that such packages of liquor, large or small, tiansported from one State to another, could be sold in an unbroken state in spits of pro hibitory laws. Of course this rendered the prohibitory law of a State virtually nugatory. This led to the act of Congress of 1890, known as the Wilson bill Under this law tbe common carrier can transport tbe packages and deliver the same to the consignee, unmolested by Stat law , but wheo received by the con signee the goods are theo sut j-ct to State prohibitory laws "It is usurpation of power, a perversion of tbe ends, aims and principles of a republican government, unconstitutional, null and void, except insofar as it prohibits the sale of iu toi i cating liquors within the State. In this pro hibitory featuie alone is it justified as an exercise of police power ; bul wheo it pro ceeds to Transfer the traffic from the citizen to the State exclusively, it is divested of every feature ol the police power, and gives to thc truffle in intoxicating liquors a sanction, a dignity and magnitude it never before pos sessed. Another Injunction. The papers io the temporary injunction granted in Baltimore last week by Judge Bond against the railroad commission, re straining it from en foi cmg the rates on liqoor, were received here to-day and ter ved on the conimissiutt by Deputy Marshal John F. Lopez Tnt- case is set for a luariog iu Gteen ville on Aug. *. Tbe petition on wbicb tbe injunction WM asked, and which waa presented by Bagh L. Bond, jr., stales that toe roads asaed reran increase in the rate of domestic wines and brandies,a bearing on which the commissioners bad promised. Instead, in Hay last, the com mise voa taued a circular reducing the rates on ali whiskies to be shipped from the dispensary tn barrels 26 6 per cent. ; that the circular was issued solely for the purpose of giving to tbe State an advantage and of farther increas ne the monopoly held by the State in the whiskey trade ; that whiskies, nc, are not necessities but luxuries and should bear a higher cJajsificatico rather than a lower. The rat ia existence in other antes are then enumerated to show the injustice of this Stott. Bvidencni produced to show that tbs claim of the eofiBnisstonert to tbe effect that tbe rate will increase tbe number of shipments will not bold good, and lastly, that tbe en forcement of the law will subject tb roads to a multiplicity of snits for dartages, etc. Tba whole of the railroad law appointing the commisiion, their powers, duties, etc, is reviewed. After hearing tbe petition Judge Bond granted the following order : Mfa tbe Circuit Court of tbe United States for the District of Soot!: Corolina--In re William P. Clyde and others TS. Tbe Rich mond k Danville Railroad Company and others-Order on tbe petition of Frederick W. Hnidekoper and Beabea Foster, re ! ceiver, against D'Arcy P. Duncan, Henry B. Thomas and Jefferson A.

Circuit Judge." - CbtuM&M J ttPM i -i i 9?a WASE3KGTON LETTER. WasKSOTOK, Joly 10, 1893. Speaker Crisp bas gone borne to get as much rest as possible before tbe extra session, which public opinion here thinks will run into tbe regular session which promises to be longer than tbe usos 1 long session, and those of his friends who are ia Washington merely smile to see the antics of the Jerry Simnsoa party, wbicb M so fer only sure of one vote although it may get those of all the populists. The Jerry Simpsolites, or to be exact Jerry Simp son, bas batched up a wonderful scheme for the defeat of Hr. Crisp bj a combination of populists, republicans and silver democrats, who are to support Representative Jolios C. Burrows of Michigan, for Speaker. Jerry's whole structure is awry. Hesterts out by assuming tb&t tbe silver democrats do not wish Mr. Crisp re-elected Speaker, aa assump tion that there are absolutely no tacts to support. Ko speaker ever presided over the House with more fairness than Mr. Crisp; not once during the last Congress wss be even accused of making a decision or ruling tinc tured io tba slightest degree with prejudice for er against any measure. Therefore it is nonsense to say that anybody ts opposed to bim on account of tear that be will be unfair ; be doesn't know how to be onfair. Jerry's next assumption is also wrong. No democrat, whatever bis individual opinion on the silver question, would bolt hts party caucus to Tote for such a radical republican as Barrows dari0" his loog Congressional career has shown himself t be. eren it' Barrows could get the republican caucus nomination, which he cannot do as Ion* as ?"UJ Reed maintains hts ascendency over the repnt>?:^an Representatives, and there is nothing to Ind'- i cate that it bas been broken. So the Jerry Simpson party may never grow beyond its originator, as it is by DO means certain that the other populist! will follow his lead io anything; those who were ia tbe last House did n't do it to any extent. The re-election of Speaker Crisp is, of course, a certainty, and it ia extremely prob able that be will enjoy the utusual honor of receiving the nomination by the unanimous vote of the democratic caucus ; and there will be no spilt in the democratic party upon either the speakership or any other matter. Tbe leaders of the party recognize that a wide difference of opioioo exists in the party as to what financial legislation is necessary, but they are certain that after a careful aqd calm d 8cu88 oo of the points of difference a common ground will be reached upon which every democrat can stand, and which will thoroughly restore public confidence aod renew the prosperity of the country, now suffering because of republican legislation which tbs administration most necessarily obey until it is repealed. The vaporings of demagogues of tbe Jerry Simpson stripe will cot no figure io the next House. Senator Vorhees has not, as bas been re peatedly stated in republican papers, changed hts position on the silver question He favors the repeal of the Sherman law, bot that is no change, as he voted agaiost it io the Senate aod told the friends of silver who voted for it that they had made a mistake which they would live to regret. Secretory Gresham says that the adminis tration has at oo time official ly criticised any act of Minister Blount. That ought to put a stop to tbe silly lie apparently originated in Hawaii that Minister Blount bad been censured because of bis preventing the arrest of Mr. Nordhoff, tbs correspondent, by tbe pinch beck government of Hawaii, because of bis letters criticising that government and its methods. Another batch of pensioners have beeo dropped from the Philadelphia district, mak ing a total of about 600 dropped io that Dis trict since the examination of the rolls, was commenced. All of these, were pensions granted under the act of 18^0. commonly known as the dependent pension bill. Owing te a change in the contract for printing the Patent Office Gazette, which contains the weeklv list of patents granted, the last number was four days late In getting out, and Commissioner Seymour soys lhere may be some delay for several weeks on ac* count of the change. There ts a class of writers for the press that lose their heads entirely when a prumioent person is tb least unwell. Notwithstanding all the silly rot that bas been printed about Mr. Cleveland'8 dangerous illness, it cao be positively stated that the toothache and a slight a tack of rheumatism was as near "dangerous illness" as he has been and Ar ther that be ig daily attending to his official duties and is in constant communication with Pr vale Secretary Therber, who remains at the White House. The coming issue of Harper's Weekly will contain illustr t ions of the Si Uer Vaults at the United States Treasury, Washington. Mr. George VV. Ch dri has contributed a valuable article on tbe death of Mr. A. J. Drexel, bis life-long friend, which is accompained by a portrait of Mr Drexel. Tb re is also a page illustration giving views of the proposed new National Park at Mount Tacoma. A full-page picture of the Fourth of July crowd oo their way to the Fair Grounds, and another page of views at the great Harvard-Yale boat-race, are timely subjects.
