'A VEftY Important newspaper case baa just been adjndicated ai-Akton.vA few weeks ago Kichard H; Knight, flwner and publisher of the Weekly Times, applied for an injunction restraining B. Jj.

The grounds ot the ap plication were that about three years ago Everett"tol3'to'xtriigh'l"i(ne Times prop; erty,. and In '.the contract of sale agreed that he would not, so long at Knight retained an interest in the Times, engage in the newspaper butineSein Akron.- There was no doubt about ' the agreement hav-Ihg been miije, and the defense 'oflereeV was that the contract being in 'restraint of -trade-asd . thereXorabeloogiug ..to class which the Jaw discountenances, was invalid."

In Ibehalf of the plaintiff it was urged tna JSverett'a good will was part of the property purchased, that this good will embraced the privilege of engaging in the business mentioned as wen aa n ilselfJ that for this privilege a part of the consideration was paid.'and that ithecime the, property of the purchasers just as much as the type, subscription list or ma chinery of the Timet office, rf r,r yr .1. Admitting lhat the' case was riol only one of great importance, but entirely new to the jurisprudence' of r thd State, the Court reserved its decision; and after two three weeks' deliberation has decided grant the injunction. This, settles the matter so far as that Court is concerned, but on account of the new principles in volved and their general bearing not on- lv on the newsparier but every other busi ness, it is to be hoped the case will be appealed, and a decision obtained from the highest Judicial' authority of the State.

The Senate Re publican caucus continued in session sev eral hours this forenoon, principally en gaged on the subject or standing committees. Arkansas and!

Several prominent Senators say if the Senate attempts to inter- ineduJo willi he arrai.n ur a-u.. they will become as much confused as the parties to the Gubernatorial controversy themselves are in that State.
