Tax Titles-1mportan Decision

Judge Miller, Of the United States District
Court q, Milwaukee, in recent case involving
the validity Of taz-title deeds, has given an
opinion " that tax deeds now executed in
accordance with the requirements Of the pres
eut law on sales made subsequent TO the time
the act Of 1882 took effect are conclusive, and
convey a full title to the property therein de
scrlbed to the holder Of the deed and declares
that the difficulty thas the holder Of ali previ-
Gus tax titles deeds had to contend with IN
showing that all the prerequisites Of the law
had been complied with Is now done away
with, and that the deed is CONCLUSIVE on that
point, and can only be avoided by the oppo-
site party showing that the land was not la
BILE TO taxation At the time the assessment was
made. and that the taxes had been paid before
the deed was issued"

BACKING OUT.-The Madison Arg,ss, after ex
hausting every vocabulary of the land in search
ing ont low pot house epithets to apply to the
Judges Of the Supreme Court, now owns up
that its former statements were all false. Either
the fear OF punishmeRts for its slanderous ibels,
or hope Of political reward in the future has
had q salutary effect upon It's Editor. But 4
few weeks since it applied to Chief Justice
WHIroy and Judge SMITH the coarsest epithets
Of Billingsgate, in which they We're represented
unfit for any judicial position, even Justices
of the Peace. Now in speaking of those gen
tlemen, the Irgus places them among the purest
and best men Of the State. It says:
= In regard TO Judge Whitoa the truth COM
pels Us 70 say with one OF his eulogIsts that he
has " borne his high faculties meekIv.' and nov
even in laboring ior his defeat, candor and in
clindtion both lead Us to express our respect for
the profundIty Of his iuridical learning, his
uprIgLtness and purity Y ct these merits he
shares with many Democrats who would adorn
and honor the seat he now occupies.
The same paper even advocates the nomina-
tion of Judge SMITH as a candidate for Chief
Justice, and says:
Should Ills not take place e ro,dd be folly to
deny that TIE task Of dieting Cief .15lstjce ca oI
position to Judge Tbitoa Is one Of difcalty and
tie prospect Of success IS do1sJgiA."
There IS no danger Of Judge Smiths being
the Democratic Candidate for Chief Justice
We would as soon think Of calling Wm. \.
Bsrstow Republican and an honest man. as
Judge Smith Democrat. BE has not one feel
ing in common with the pro-slayery procIivities
Of that party. and could DO more receive nom
i,.a;ion from it than JoHs c. FREMoST himself.
We are glad however, that some motive has
induced the 4rgls to attempt to do justice to
the members Of the Supreme Court

pretext The allabsorbing and all-disturbinE QUE,
ton of slavery is the only matter for decision on d.
2lst inst.
Whether the convention has adopted the b.,,
mode of presenting this question is quite an imn,
terial point The substance is presented and all VII,
want agitation to cease, and who want practical Don
ular sovereignty under State organizaon, can vO,,
and contribute to the early attainment Of these Er,
objects.
The idea of forcing constitution on the people Of
Kansas is absurd, because such a thing is beyond
the power Of Congress. The constitution presented
to Congress comes from body which legally repre-.
sents the people of Kansas. If the people of Kan,
sas voluntarily staid away fom the polls, and thu,
permitted a constitution TO be made which is not
acceptable to them, they cannot ask Congress to dis
regard the legal proceedings of those who went 10
the polls and reject the constitution to CRAFTY tia
spirit of faction and rebellion which nstigaod then
in staying away from the election. Much less Can
they now pretend that constitution is about to b,
forced on them against their will. And, above all,
when admitted as State, the whole subject is IN.
der the control of the people of Kansas free from all
outside influence. II comes, then, to this practical
questions Is it better for Congress to follow theIeg
proceedings of the Kansas Legislature and the Kansa.
convention by recognising the constitution and 3D.
hitting the Satisfactorily localizing all dstractns
questions in Kansas and subjecting them to the de-
csion Of State popular sovereignty, and relieving the
other States from dangerous element of sections
agitation Tor is it better TO listen to the captiou
and factious objections of the men in Kansas who
have SO long disturbed the national quiet, and who
manifest no abatement of the actious and rebelous
spirit thus rejecting the work Of the men in Kansas
who have proceeded peaceably and lawfully, and
making concessions to the agitators, thereby pro
longing the controversy with all the dangers Of dis
cord and civil war with which it is encompassed
The President takes the former view. Judge Doug
las comes forward and throws himself in the path
way that leads, as the President believes to early
and satisfactory adjustment of the Kansas question
We think the President takes wise, patriotic, and
safe view of the whole question; and in tho policy
adopted by him we think he viii be sustained BY
