PRoHIBIroRy LIQUOR LAw.-The New York
Herald of the 25th says the Court Of Appeals yes
terday rendered its decision upon the search and
seizure clause of the Prohbtory Liquorlaw The
questions at issue arose in the Brooklynand Buff
falo cases. In the Brooklyn case the Supreme
Court held that the search and seizure clause was
unconstitutional, and this decision is affirmed by
the Court Of Appeals. In the Buffalo case tho
Supreme Court held that the search and seizure
clause was constitutional, and the decision is re.
ver.ed by the Court of Appeals. The opinions de-
livered have not been made public, BUTT is clear
,ha, the practical effect of these decisions is
equivalent to a declaration that the law is uncon
siitutonal in gross and in detail.

TRAVELLERS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ne
New York correspondent Of the National lnteili
gencer says:
Following the example Of our transatlantic
cousins, company has been projected In wal
street to insure passengers By railroads and
steamboats, against loss of life or bodily injury
during their journeyings. The system has been
in successful operation in Grent Britain tor fv'
or six years past, and the reports OF the various
companies have demonstrated that the business
is not only profitable to them but IN vast num-
Der of cases has proved great boon to the pub
lie. The premiums required there are almost
nominal: but with us suspect, rather higher
per centage will bs deemed necessary to cover
the extra risks which apparently beset u.s. see
no reason to doubt the successful Introduction
Of the system into this country provided Always
that the business is conducted in a liberal ana
honorable spirit.
