WASHINGTON, JAM 2S, 1867
The United States w. vassar and another case from
New York; tho United States Green and four other
cases from New Jersey; the United States vs. Swain
from Massachusetts, These have been reported
IN the HERALD. and the facts will b. remembered In
Of the New York causes IL was ella imed that
license FROM the federal government under the act Of
1854 engage in the selling Of lottery tickets authorized
such TRAFFIC. Notwithstanding the statute of the State
rendered il unlawful The New Jersey cases were
similar Tho above argued at the last term
Of the court, but were mot until now decided In the
second New York suit II claimed that the special
tax imposed by the 1886 the business Of lottery
dealing could be collected BY the because
the law Of the State had prohibited such traffic The
contended be unconstitutional and against
public policy This Also the point presented by the
present liquor case from Massachusetts
Mr. Chief Justice Chase delivered the opinion Of the
Court holding In substance as folows:-
Fira-The license under the act Of 1854, and the
snendatoy acts confsrs upon the llcensee authority
TO carry the licensed business within the State
Second-The requirement Of payment for license s
simply mode Of imposing taxes on the business, and
the prohibition, under penalties against carrying the
the business without license, s only mode
OF enforcing the payment Of such taxes
zaiyd-The provisions OF the a Of Congress requiring
such license and imposing penalties for not taking out
and paying for them, not contrary 10 the consttu
tion or public policy.
FbstA-Ths provisions in the act Of 1885, for the i'm
posing Of special taxes in lieu Of payment for licenses
removed whatever ambiguity existed In the previous
laws and are in harmony with the constitution and
public policy
fA-rhs recognition By the acts Of Congress Of the
power and right Of the State tax control regulate
any business carried within It's limits Is entirely In
harmony and consistent with intention the part Of
Congress tax such business for national purposes
II follows from this decision that the prohibition Of
any business BY the State does not conflict with the
right Of the 70 tax such business wherever
1t is found to bs in existence does the license under
the Of 1854 give the censee auth ory TO violate the

DocroR's DIFFER, Rev. Newman Hall,
I'M temperance lecture in New York
some time ago, said, in abiding to
drunkenness in England and America :;
"In America he had seen but three or
four drunken men; in England he saw
az many nightly. He blushed and
gieved over the drunkenness and vice
q Great Britain, and he should be
%ieved to see any nation brought down
To the level OF England in this respect"
In Grace Church, Providence, last Sun
day night, Bishop Clark OF Rhode Island,
said on the same subject:
"In the five months I have been absent
Ihave never seen in Great Britain or Eu-
rope, four men or single woman intoxl-
Gated. There is more drunkenness in the
United States than is to be found among
the same number OF people any where
disc on the face of the earth"

our Finances.

The subject of our national finances Is
one which at the present time Ia absorb
ing good deal of public attention, and
that some important step will be taken
by Congress at its coming session to re-
duce the national debt to something
more like order than II Is in Its present
shape, and thus settle some OF the many
questions respecting it that now divide
the judgment of the public mind and
cause so much anxiety, is to be expected,
and very probable. 1t is to be hoped
that this subject may be approached and
dealt with, independent OF partisan feel.
ings, and solely for our common good,
Although the Republican party is re.
sponsble for the legislation of the
country, the question of paying the ma
tlonal debt aud of regulating our flnan-
ces as well as that Of equslizing taxa
tion are really matters not political, but
concerns OF business, and appeals not to
any mans party feelings or views, but to
his sense Of honor and his judgment Of
what is best for himself and his neigh
bors, All classes OF society, rich and
poor, and of all parties alike are affected
by whatever mobiles, weakens or
strengthens the government credit. All
ought to be alike DESTROYS to have the
national honor protected, and the public
obligations discharged, aud at the same
time TO have the burden of taxation
made as light as possible, and so ad-
justed as to bear equally on all.
Reputation can by no means be
thought of, and will not be tolerated by
the American people, who will never en-
terrain any proposition respecting the
payment of government obligations
other than their payment as we honor
ably Covenaned to do. A plan of funding
the debt, according to Washington
correspondents, will most likely be the
one adopted, Congress first passing a
declaratory act defining the intent of all
previous loans, aud settling their mean
ing as to the payment of principal, as
we'll as interest, in coin.
The recent letter OF United States
Treasurer Spinner to Hon. E. G. Spauld-
ing OF Buffalo, N. Y, more clearly ex
presses the popular sentiment upon this
subject than anything we have yet seen,
{
WAsHINaToS, Nov. 8, 1867
No Dear Sir Your note Of the 9th
inst. has been received. Ifsome one who
believes in high toned swindliDg will
write in favor of open reputation, l
will agree to give the subject the con.
sideration Of 3 careful reading. But
have not the patience to read anything
advocating the sneaking expedient Of
paying the national debt in deprecated
currency. The Secretary OF the Trea.
sury is sound on that subject, and in his
forthcoming annual report will address
an argument 10 Congress and the Coun-
try that am sure will plesse you and
those who are neither knaves nor fools.
Having sn abiding faith in the honesty
Of the people, | belive the question will
be settled honestly, and that honest
Americans will be spared the shame Of
having their nation stigmatiZed as q
land Of cheats and swindlers.
Very truly your friend,
