understand uniformly that bridge near the
city and within the district of member OF
| Congress is always large enough and high
enough, in the opinion of that member, but
that a bridge above or below obstructs COM
merce, by being too small, and therefore
ought not to be allowed to remain.
have submitted my amendment with spe.
cial reference to the wants of central and
western Iowa. We want double outlet for
our products, the unobstructed option of the
Chicago and St Louis markets, and competi-
ton between railroads for freight. With this
bridge at Keokuk we can send our products
to St. Louis without breaking bulk. From
DesMoines as common center there will be
two routes open to Chicago, and one, if not
two, to ST. Louis, and all without the serious
obstruction of breaking bulk at the river,
with its heavy accompanying changes.
With these remarks simply now desire, as
/ am pressed all around, and as there are
other measures waiting that are urgent, to ask
the previous question on the motion to refer
this to the committee. The whole subject
will be open for debate when it comes back.
And thercupon the bill was referred to the
committee on Post Routes, &C.
We see no reason why the consent of the
States should be required for the construction
of a bridge on.a post route across river run
ming between two States The effect Of such
requirement will simply be to put It into the
power of local spectators to obtain hand
some bonus from the company that proposes
to build the bridge, as the price of their in
huence with the State Legislatures.
Take the case of the bridge here at keokuk
for instance: Some ten or a dozen'gentlemen
with no intention Of over building bridge
obtained charter from the Illinois Legis!a-
ture, for which they demand Of the parties
interested in building the bridge, S2o,0c0 to
$4,000. Parties on the Iowa side might do
the same thing, and thus the only effect of
this clause, requiring the consent Of the
States, is to tax the actual builders Of the
bridge from fifty thousand to hundred thou
sand dollars, by way of bonus to county poll
ticans And thus this additional burden of
expense is unnecessarily thrown upon the
company that builds the bridge, and must
eventually come out Of the people in the way
of higher freights and higher tolls.

The Supreme Cour. of U. s has decid,

court holds that licenses granted by the

for the wholesale of liquors held BY cit

sets.
1t has been already decided by the Su'
p'eme Court of this State ,ba. plea of
license from the y. s. to sell liquors vas
no defense ,e a prosecution for selling
contrary to the laws Of the State. This

The Prssident's veto--Opsnions OF
the Press Thereon,
In Communicating on the Presidents
veto The N. Y. Herald says: His objec-
tions on constitutional grounds exhibit
this Civil Rights bill AZ involving the
most fragrant devices for overriding the
reserved rights of the States in their
Legislatures and judicial tribunals ever
attempted ia Congress. We had suppos.
ed this bill in a new shape a sort of re-
production OF the old fugitive slave law,
but uoder the searching analyst. Of An:
drew johnson, it appears hundred times
worse than the Freedmens Bureau expe-
riment, and nothing less than q bill of
unconstitutional abomi nation from begin
ming to end. The objections submitted
against the 6rst section Of the bill, how
ever, are those which mark the impassi-
Die barrier between him and the ruling
Radicals OF Congress. The veto is in
fact an emphatic declaration Of war
against the Radicals aud their recon-
struction system, roo, and branch. Hence.
forward there cas be no party iudorse-
mems OF the policy Of Congress coupled
with professions Of adhesion TO the d lcy
Of the Administration,
The Tribune Gays: Let us thank Mr.
johnson that his veto is SO sweeping. He
might have phrased it mere cunningly,
but he has chosen to let Us know that it
is not this par,ic llar bill that has pro-
voked bis opposition, bat that any mea-
sures whereby Congress may attempt to
protect the southern blacks against white
abuse and oppression must encounter bis
determined and deadly opposition.
The Times says: But We venture to
think thai few state papers have ever been
given TO the world that will 40 thoroughly
compel the attention Of thinking men
The analysis Of the detail is of 80 keen
and searchiEg2 a character, the logic 80
Irresistible, that We should hope even the
strongest advocates IF the measure will
see how vastly important it is that the
constitutional power should be entrusted
to a President endowed with Judgment,
discretion. and most uncommon courage.
The World says: The veto is conclu-
sivs demonstration Of cha, was apparent
before, that the conflict bs,wsen the Pres
ideut aud Congress admits Of nsither COM
promise nor reconciliation, aud that the
controversy can be decided only by an
apoesl to ei.her's comm n superiors, the
sovereign people.

SATURDAY, APRIL I, 1865.

NAsHIxG7ox, MARCH 26.-The Supreme
Cour, Of the T. S this morning decided
the case Of Michael A. Eolsn ard others,
- the board Of assessors Of the city Of
Albany, defendants, in error, ss the suit
Adam Van Allen, plaintiff 10 error. and
other cases. The question was, whether
the shares Of the stockholders in the
banking associations created under the
acts Of Congress which provide for the
creation Of national banks, can be sub
jected to taxation by state authorities.
Associate justice Nelson delivered the
opinion Of the court, holding that shares
held by individuals were not . part Of .
the capital Of = bank, and must be Re.
Gsrded % personal property Of sharehold'
ere, and - such, subject to taxation BY
the State, within the provisions Of the act
OF Congress. but that the judgment Of the
court below must b reversed, on the
ground that there was = discrimination
between the shares OF these banks and the
capital stock Of the State Bank.
Chief Justice Chase read . minority
opinion, not being able to concur that
State had the power claimed, which was
IN indirect mode Of taxing the natioaal
aecuritiss. which vas not authorized, or
intended to be authorized by Congress.
In the cases Of Cutting, Fiske and Others,
the court held that = broker 10 chargeable
on purchases Of securities made on bis
account and for his own benefit, the samo
% on HE commissions When purchas-
ing for others.
We have long entertained the opinion
that some way would be devised 10 which
to reach Government securities 20 A. 10
suhjsct them to taxation. The gross in
justice Of allowing such On accumulation
Of wealth to be exempted from contribut-
ing in any manner to The revenue Of the
State in which it IL held is conceded on
oil hands. At tue same time the circum-
stances under which these securities were
issued aud the hazard Of the investment
at The time they we're FIRST thrown upon
the market, occa.ioned but slight excep-
ton 10 be taken to the provision that they
should b exempt from taxation.
The truth Of it is any taxation Of these
securities, however indirect is not only
unauthorized, but IL in direct contraven-
sisn Of the acts Of Congress which created
them. The General Government made
contract with the terms of which i, finds
il hard to stand BY. I. wants to back
out and the Supreme cour. Of the U. 5.
lends its aid to assist j. in doing so.

nencement Of reputation.
