HE Taney correspondent of the Argus has
found in the Massachusetts, reports an opinion
OF the Supreme Court of that State, delivered
in 1916, and stating that "the slape was the
property of his master as much as his OK or his
horse; he had no civil rights but that of protec-
ton from cruelty" This he compares to Judge
Taney's declaration that at the time when the
constitution was framed negroes (not merely
sldues) were regarded as interiors having no
rights which the white man was bound to re-
spect.n and proceeds as follows:
II NOV be that these two Chief Justices were
in error in regard to the opinion entertained of
tba neoro i'm the earlier days. If so il IS ner-
factIv 9roper to expose their error and vipdi-
cate historical truth. Nobody can comnla;n 81
that. Nobody would have any right 10 copo-

No, the courts did not hold that such was the
present opinion" in regard to the negro race /:
but Chief Justice Taney did hold that such is
the present condition" of that race. using
these words, to which we once more invite tie
attention OF our rather thick headed friend:
No one,we presume, supposes that any change
in public opinion or feeling, in relation to tnis
unfortunate race, in the civilized nations OF
Europe or in this country, should induce the
court to give to the works of the Constitut on
a more liberal construction In their iavor than
they were intended to bear achen the instrument

The FORTIFICATIoN BML.-The loss of
the Fertilization Bill in the national House Of
Representatives, reported by telegraph yester-
day, cuts off appropriations for Forts Scanned
and Gorges in Portland harbor, Fort Popham
On the Kennebec, Fort Constitution at Ports
mouth, Forts Winthrop and Warren in Bos-
ton harbor, and many ether works on the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts, besides the sur
vey of the northern and northwestern lakes
which was included in the same bill. The
amendment appropriating s15O,OOo for two
new works constituting an outer liue of de-
fence for Portland harbor, was rejected before
the bill was thrown overheard, and apparent
ly has but slight chance of resurrection.-
The bill itselfwill probably come up again
and pass. The proposed appropriations for
works in Maine were for Fort Scanned $780,
900, Fort Gorges $4,000; Fort Popham $780,
600. Fort Knox on the Penobscot was omit
ted, how or why we know not.

all parties to endorsethe notes as means of
their identification; go that if found to be
spurious or caysted they may be returned to
the owner without difficulty. On the other
hand, BANKERS claim that the payment which
Mr.. Van Fyck makes when he receives the
notes IS complete transaction, and that the
Government becomes responsible for the
notes after that time, just as fully as the
bankers would become responsible for coun.
terteit received over their own counter.
