DEPUTATIoNs are in Washington
representing commercial houses in
Northern cities, to induce such ac-
ton on the part Of Congress as will
prevent the enforcement of discrim-
mating laws in one State against the
citizens Of other States engaged in
commercial pursuits. 1t is under
stood that special reference is made
to the law of the last Maryland Leg
islature, which required commercial
travellers to pay a license of $500, and
then put upon them such restrictions
as amounted almost to prohibition.
Evansville merchants are interested
in the passage of q law regulating this
question Of commercial licenses, as
their agents are frequently subject to
embarrassments in their business can

Speaker OF the FOrty-flrst Congress.
1t seems to be practically settled
that the Speaker of the next House Of
Representatives will be either JAMES
G.. BLAINE, of Maine, or HENRY l.
DAWES, of Massachusetts,, and it is
probable that Mr.. ELAINE will be the
successful man. A correspondent of
the New York Herald says that the
New England vote is divided between
BLAINE and DAWES, inclining slightly
IN favor of DAWES. In the middle
States of New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, with their thirty five
Republican votes, BLAINE has an un-
doubted and reliable majority. Inthe
Southern States majority 60 for
BLAINE, while in the West BLAINE

Is practically no contest left between

State and Municipal Taxation OF Ma
ttOnaI Ranks.

The Supreme Court Of Illinois have
affirmed the action of the Supervisors
and municipal authorities of Chicago
in assessing State and city taxes upon
National Bank shares at their par
value. There were other points in
VOWED in the ease; but the main one
was that, inasmueh as the real and
personal property was assessed for
State purposes at only one third of its
real value, it was unlawful and un-
constitutional to tax bank shares at
their full value. The Court sustains
the act Of the Legislature directing
the assessment aud the collection Of
the tax, and sustains the assessment
upon the par value, affirming that so
long as all Of that particular kind OF
property is assessed in that manner
the assessment is valid.

A GubernatorIal Mansion.

We hope the Legislature will not
be hasty in its action about -approv-
ing the report of the joint committee
recommending the binding of a Gov
ernor's Mansion. It becomes the
members to be careful about making
extra appropriations, aud 10 strikes.
US the building Of the Mansion may
be postponed till another session.
The Benevoleat dnstitufions need
extra appropriations, and the Normal
School must of & necessity be COM
pleted. These, with the other prob
able appropriations in the way of i'm
proyements. ought to suffice for the
present. IF Governors Mansion is
commenced, It wilp not be finished
for less than 100000, and then must
be furnished at large expense. Let
the luxury be dispensed with till the
State Debt is paid off. Besides, it
will bankrupt any man of ordinary
wealth to be placed In such Guber-
material Mansion as is proposed, and
be required to keep it UP in o. style

that the State would be likely to pay
It's Governor. 1t will be far cheaper
to make liberal allowance to the
Governor, in lieu Of house-rent. fur
niture, &C., and let him provide sucI
quarters as may suit his wants aud
his taste. First pay off the State

tions in proper condition, and then i

to act on physicians certificates Of death and

News FROM BoRR.-The new. Secretary Of
the Navy has set out with tremendous batch
OF orders against abuses and new-fangled
fancies and various oddities in the navy and
the navy yards and everywhere else, provid-
ing, among other thing, that the masts Of men,
of-war shall not for all time to come be painted
yellow. Thisis better than welles, who never
gave us reason to guess that he knew men-of-
war had masts. The orders Of the new Secre-
tary are Of character to make people believe
that he actually knows something about the
navy. We believe, however, that to be free
from any false pretence he makes no secret Of
the fact that Porter Is near him.
