A CONSTITUTIONAL POINT.

Here is a matter for the constitutional
pundit of the Times to vent his lore upon.
In granting certain privileges to the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company, the
State of Maryland stipulated as her guild
pro -, that she should receive one-fifth
Of the total receipts for passengers trans
ported over the line. The road bound
itself by this agreement, and for years
kept its faith by paying the fifth. In 1868
the company refused to observe its agree
ment longer, and without yielding up its
franchises, refused to yield the considera-
ton which it agreed to pay therefor. The
reason for this refusal was that it was I'M
constitutional for the State 70 tax travel
or commerce within IS borders. People

ON cAR0NpELET STREET.

Some remarks in the REPUBLICAN few
days ago, touching the liability Of banks on
certified checks. have elected communi-
cation on the subject from the Hon. R. II.
Shannon, which appeared in this paper
yesterday. Mr.. Shannon quotes from the
national banking act to show that the
point is settled as to national banks. But
the issue in this case affects State banks
and not national banks, and therefore the
law does not apply to the existing con-
troversy. Moreover, it does not appear
that even the Law, as quoted, touches the
point in question at all.
That law declares that sit shall be
unlawful for any officer, clerk or agent
of any national bank to certify any check
drawn upon said bank, unless the person
or company drawing said check shall
have on deposit in said bank, at the time
such check is certified, an amount of
money equal to the amount specified in
such check; and any check SO certified
by duly authorized officers shall be
good and valid obligation against such
bank; and any officer, clerk or agent Of
any national bank violating the provisions
of this act shall subject such bank to the
liabilities and proceedings on the part of
the Controller, as provided for in section
fifty of the national banking law, ap-
proved June 3, 1854"
Now, the Interpretation Of this para
graph seems to us to be very different
from that which Mr.. Shannon gives to it.
In making it unlawful for bank to
certify check unless the person Sreaci,ag
such checlc shall have on deposit an
amount sufficient to meet it, it is clearly
assumed that the check is genuine. But
a forged check does not answer to the
description: in other words, it is no check
at all. The certificate can not make it
good; can not change its character as
forgery. But if the law applies to it. the
officer certifying it would be liable to
punishment, because the signer Tor
forger) would not have money on deposit
to meet it. We rather think that Mr..
Shannon has missed the true point in
the case, which is the liability of a certify
ing bank on a forged check. As to ia-
bility on genuine check, there is no
dispute with regard either to State banks
or national banks.
Yesterday was another dull day in
Carondelet street, although the market
held up with commendable tirmness
against the depressing influences OF the
weather. Slaughterhouse seemed to be
triie stronger than the day before. The
figure was still "a, but it was "a bid in
stead of "a asked. Parties seem to be
separating from each other on this stock,
and ranging themselves as bulls and
bears. The bears have, thus far, been
more .depreciatory than demonstrative,
and have not yet entered upon active hos
tilities. They seem, however, to have
laid out plan Of campaign, with what
success remains to be seen. One promi-
nent operator, gentleman possessed OF
great activity and ingenuity, and ex-
tremely fertile in resources-the same,
in fact, who recently made the
brilliant and successful raid upon
Calcasieu Sulphur stock, yesterday paid

Our South Arnericnn News.

Our correspondence from Rio Janeiro
published this morning furnishes interesting
details of the killing of President Lopez Of
Paraguay on the frs day of last month by the
Brazilian forces under General Camara. This
went was the cause OF great rejoicing in Rio,
where professions were the order Of the day.
rhe Princess Imperial, wifs of the Cunt
l'Eu, under whose command the allied army
put ali end to the war, was the recipient Of
two demonstrations in her honor by the
enthusiastic ladies' of the capital who de-
livered addresses and wound up with huzzas
for the Princess and Brazil. Dom Pedro too,
had received Numerous evidences Of his popn-
larity with the people. His Majesty had
declined to sanction the erection of an eques-
TRAN statue Of himself, as proposed by num-
Der of gentlemen residing at the capital. In
letter forwarded TO the promoters of the pro-
ject he requests them to expeud the money
collected for the statue in the construction Of
primary schools, which evidence Of Dom
Pedro's devotion to the cause of public educa-
ton deserves the praise it has received.
RIGA are interesting. Brazilian politics were
IN their accustomed muddlei condition; but
the conservatives were stronger than ever,
probably because OF the successful termina-
ton of the war for Brazil and her allies. Rio
was agltated on a question of the right Of
moaasic institution to retain nuns within its
convent walls against their will, and public
sentiment was almost unanm us in favor of
their release. The matter had been referred
TO The Couacil Of State for final decision.
The Argentine Confederation, under the
able rule of President SarmientO, continued to
move forward in the path Of prosperity. The
SINE cannot be said Of Uruguay, which is
threatened with another rebellion, and will not
unlikely fall prey to Brazil.
