TWO IMPORTANT DECISIONS IN
THE SUPREME COURT.

The Supreme Court this morning
decided the very important land case
from Louisiana involving the validity
Of the celebrated grant known as the
Maison Rouge grant. The lands clai-
med under it were thirty leagues, being
upwards Of two hundred and fifty thou
sand acres, lying on both sides of the
river Ouatchita, near Monroe. The
case was decided in favor of the Uni
ted States, the alleged grant being de-
clared by the court fraudulent and void.
The court also decided case from
Michigan, in which it ruled that lands
purchased from the United States IN
that State are subject to State taxation
from date Of sale. On the part of the pur-
chasers it was contended that the lands
were not liable to be SO taxed because,
until the patentissued, the legal estate
was still ia the United States. and the
lands therefore exempt from taxation,

The Hon. GEORGE NJ. DALLAS, Vice
President-elect of the United States,
being duly sworn by the PRESIDENT
pro tenn, took the chair as President
Of the Senate, pursuant to the const-
tuition of the United States, and address
sed the Senate as follows:
SENATOR'S: In directing the Vice
President to preside at the deliberations
of this body. the constitution of our
country assigns to him sphere and a
duty alike eminent and grateful. With
out any Of the cares of real power;
with none of the responsibilities of leg
isation, except in rare conjunctures,
he is associated with the dignifed del
egates of republican sovereignties: he
is posted by the entire American peo-
PIE in your confederated council, part
ly, it would seem. as an organ of free
dom's fundamental principle of order,
and partly, perhaps, as a mere symbol
of that more popular and 'more per-
feet union,' on which depend the bles-
sings Of our peace, independence, and
liberty. His mission, tranquil and un-
imposing, is yet noble in its origin and
objects, and happy as well as proud in
its relations to you.
No one, gentlemen, can appreciate
more highly, or recognise more defer
entially, than does the incumbent OF
this chair, the powers, privileges, and
rules or forms of the Senate of the Uni
ted States. To maintain these, unim-
plired and unrelaxed, he feels to be an
official duty, second, in impressive OBJ
iigation, only to his constitutional allie.

COLUMBUS, March Z, 1916.
DEAR SrR-The legislature will probably ad-

been acted upon, principally, as 10 the number Of
bills introduced Of local character. But several

A bill has passed the House repeating the law
creating the office of State Printer and to put tho
State printing out to public sale. The State Prin-
ter was elected. by virtue Of law for three years,
and gave bond Tor the performance Of his duties.
His contract will not expire before the FIRST Of July,
1886 Yet this whg legislature is determined to
set aside the contract, deprive him OF the office and
take the public printing from him year before the
close Of the contract And all this is to be done,
not to benefit the State-not to have the work done
better or more promptiy-fo for there isno complaint
whatever'on this score--but for the simple reason
