The decision of the Supreme Court OF
the United States on Monday denying the
right of State to levy capitation tax
upon passengers going beyond its limits
is an important one. New Jersey and
Maryland have annually for years past
made hundreds of thousands of dollars
out of the great northward stream OF
travel by such tax.
We have not seen full report of the
opinion of the court, and therefore cannot
say how far the decision goes. But it is
at least possible that it may touch the
capitation tax levied in this State upon
passengers travelling by rail. 1t would
seem, however, from the wording of the
decision as it appears in the papers, that
it is not tax upon passengers which is
held to be unconstitutional, but tax upon
through passengers, or rather upon passen-
gers leaving the State that imposes the
tax. The law of Nevada levies capita
tiop tax of one dollar upon every person
leaving the State by any railroad, stage
coach, or other vehicle engaged or en-
ployed in this business of transporting
passengers. It was this law that the Su-
preme Court decided TO be unconstitu-
tiOnal.

COUNTY ORGANIZATION.
The report on county organization was
next taken up. ,.,
After much discussion, the first article
of the ordinance was adopted, as follows:
"An Ordinance for the Governments Of Cities
and Toeons in the Commonwealth Of Vir-
ginia.
PARTICLE l. For each city or town in
the State containing population of 5000
there shall be elected or appointed one
CITY Judge, who shall hold corporation
or hustings court of said city or town
as often and as many days in each month
as may be prescribed by law, with similar
Jurisdiction which may be given by law to
the circuit courts of this State, and who
shall hold his office for term of six (6)
wears: Provided, That in cities or towns
containing thirty thousand 100000 in
habitants there may be elected an addi-
tional Judge to hold courts of probate and
record separate and apart from the cor
poration or hastings courts, and perform
such other duties as shall be prescribed
by law"
The second article was then taken up,
as follows:
PARTICLE 2. One clerk Of the corpora
ton or hastings court, who shall also be the
clerk of the circuit court, except in cities
or towns containing population of thirty
thousand 100000 or more, in which city or
town there may be separate clerk for the
circuit court, who shall hold his Office for
term of six (6) years.
Pending the discussion on this, the Con-
vention adjourned.

AN UNMrTraATED DEsPoTIsM.--We have
experienced in this country during inc
last seven years all the despotic acts which'
when we previously read of them IN MS
tory, we thought could not possibly DC eA-
ercised in this country without producing
an uprising of the people against the
rnlers who would dare thus to deprive
them of their chartered rights Of person
and property. Agreat French philosopher
said fifty years ago that the easiest mode
of fastening despotism upon any people
was to get them first into war. War SO
hardens the hearts and deadens the sensi-
bilities of men that they look with compo.
sure, if not with appreciation, upon deeds
which, under other circumstances, would
have moved them to seek redress at the
hazard Of their lives.
In Memphis an unprincipled Judicial
tyrsnt has imprisoned two men for writing
and publishing articles expressing then
opinion Of him. This act, which should
have caused the whole nation to demano
the removal of corrupt judge and the
release of his victims, excites no more
feeling than the cutting off of few neaas
did in Paris at time when the streets OF
that city ran with blood. Such ac'S are
too common to excite general indignation
The guillotine has been at WORK SO iops
and so industriously that people na'o
ceased to number its victims or to ailo"
themselves to become interested IN any
body's welfare.

MORE AFRAID OF THE NAME THAN THE
ra1ya.-The National lnteuigencer ven
lures to say that every honorable man Oh
the Senate Court, in the case now before
that judicial body, feels more or less an
noyance, regret, and modification al oelDg
called upon to convict the President on
partisan grounds. We have not DOUBT
of it. They do not like to be told the
truth. They prefer that some other reason
should be given. They are like the moor
ruptible fellow in the play, who protests
with his tongue that no bride shall ever
stain his fingers, while he holds out one
hand behind him to receive it. We have
no doubt they consider WENDELL PHIL
LIPS and other. plain-speaking men, who
call upon them to convict the President
son partisan grounds" troublesome null
sances or Anticipated simpletons. They
are willing enough to perform the work,
but they would prefer a less offensive
name for it.

HorTY TORY l-Colonel PLATTE, late OF
the Federal army, now delegate to the
Convention from the Cockade town, yes
terday pronounced the illustrious BATNE
lying negro scoundrel %! These are "o'' !,
ter words |" for one member of the Rad'cai
fraternity to apply to another! Inc mv. . :
especially so because OF Inc poo a.;an
phraseology of the vehement ao]ulsa
This bitter Colonel was elected ny ae Is, o osa
1,;.h ~rhon, he had commingled, and whose
aororv voices he had sought IN mos1 GULL
n1ooant and oily solicitations; yet MS ae-
plas s;at;on of BAYSE implies that "scoun.
.1a,n 10 al the worse for being NEGRO.
Rather poor requital of the negroes lof
.he;r generous support of the smooth pro-
n ueT and plausible Colonel
ue had acknowledged the negro y man
and a brother "-equal in every way 10
h;mself-and now he plainly lntlma1es
that there is in the cognomen negro
that which makes "scoundrel . "oiSo
FIR wearing it as prefix. PLATTE no
aorbt uttered his real sentiment Oh
adherence of the negro in momenV
If passion! But he had no right TO 90
such thing. BY transferring his relations
and alliances from the whites to the blacks
he admitted an equality on the part OF the
latter, which makes it grossly inconsistent
for him now to cast slur upon them. A
" negro scoundrel " is as good as a white
scoundrel," and an ultra black Radical IS
more deserving of respect than an ultra
white Radical. DR.. BAYNE is fussy, ig-
norant, and impudent wretch, who holds
his place through the instrumentality OF
such mon as PLATTE; yet we feel at least
more kindly and forgiving to the poor
fool BAYNE than to the insidious, unprin-
cipled fibbertigibets and vulgar white
exotics who have invaded this State for
plumber, and now hold places in the vene-
rable capitol of Virginia.

THuRLow WEED makes the speech of
Mr.. SourHALL the text of a sermon upon
the awful wickedness of those who went
into rebellion against the Government of
the United States. Such nonsensical talk
as old THURLow INDUCES in upon this sub
ject will hardly convict any Of the rebel
ious sinners, or enable them to see the
sinfulness of their conduct. We know
well enough that we had q Christian gen.
tleman for our President, and we feel
pretty well assured that as to this, we had
the advantage of our northern neighbors,
whose chief executive officer made no
pretensions even in that line. We know,
100, That whatever claims the Government
o' Inc nited States had to our allegiance,
tney were not as good in law or morals as
those which GEORGE III. had to the
allegiance OF WASHINGTON, JEFFERSON,
HANCOCK, ADAMS, &c., &c., who were
for nearly eight long years rebels of
the worst type, but became heroes and
statesmen in virtue of their success
whence we infer that if we had succeeded
In our undertaking, neither THURLow
WEED nor any other man would have beer

AND as we have sense enough to know
tnst the sinfulness Of any given act is none
the less or more because of differing re-
suits, We conclude that there was nothing
morally wrong in secession, and therefore

PREPARING FOR Wholesome time ago
the Radicals in Congress passed law pro-
viding that no more Justices of the Su-
preme Court of the United States should
be appointed until the number should have
been reduced to six by deaths, resigna-
ton, or otherwise. This law of course has
prevented Mr.. JOHNSON from putting any
of his friends upon the bench. On Mon
day, however, bill was introduced into
the House of Representatives to repeal
the law, the object being, of course, to al
low WADE to fill the bench with Radicals.
This movement indicates that the Radi-
Gals in the House have every reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. JOHNSON will soon be de-
posed. It shows, too, that they care no.
thing for appearances. They openly avow
their nefarious designs.
