Thursday, December ~, 1870. a.


The recent opinion Of Judge Strong in the
..se NJ A stockholder Of the Philadelphia, Will
r,,noton. and Baltimore Railroad Company
,o,inst the State Of Delaware, makes one thing,
Al least, very certain. This is, that, whatever
muy be decided on other points, no tax on travel
or commerce between the States, will be toiera-
tad for moment by the Supreme Court. The
c,ae in question did not include test Of the fa-
mons Ten Cent Tax on Travellers, which the
state levied, and the Railroad Company has, in
full or in part paid for years, but the citations
and expressious Of the Court, as we'll as the in
junction granted against the collection OF the
tax on cars, locomotives, &C., DO. are conclusive
that IL the ten cent impost were To come ON trial,
Il would be- sdjudged unconstitutional, without
necessity Of long argument.
IL therefore is plain that the State can never
again collect the passenger tax 30 far as 1t re-
latos to persons going out of, coming into, or
going across, the State, and 1t can only apply to
persons travelling by steamboat or railroad, 'oia-
in the State. II ia therefore tax levied on oar
own people, and on nobody else; and levied only
on those Of our own people who may have occa-
sion to travel. In this light, therefore. it be-
comes ridiculous that the act of motion should
subject man to special taxation, while the con-
dition of inertia releases him, is absurd.
And not only is the law wrong in principle, but
it bears hardly on travel by railroad, over short
distances. Thus, persons coming from stations
near at hand, ,.on the numerous railroads leading
to this city, find their fare nearly or quite dou-
bled by this tax. Passengers from Newport,
Stanton, Newark, Ellerslie, Bellevue, Holly Oak,
Claymont, New CASTLE and from the many points
on The wilmington 4 Reading line, are all taxed
for coming to our city, just twenty cents for
zach trip. Where the distance travelled is but
two, three, or four miles, and the passenger
wishes to make the trip once every day, it will
be seen that the tax is not only serious burden,
but that it absolutely forbds such travel. Two
cents and half per mile is a reasonable railroad
fare. II, then, the distance travelled we're two
miles each way, the fare and tax would be

WEARING MOURNING. long for the
day when this custom shall become obso-
lete. II is unbeooming the truly afflicted
one. The wearer says by the black gar
ments: II have lost O dear friend. I am
in deep sorrow" But true grief does not
wish to parade itself before the eye OF
the stranger, much less does it assert its
extent. The stricken one naturally goes
apart from the world to pour out the
tears. Real affliction seeks privacy. It
is no respect to tho departed friend to
say we are in sorrow. If we have real
grief, it will be discovered. When God
has entered household in, the awful
chastisement of death it is time for reli-
gions meditation and communion with
God on the part of the survivors. How
sadly oat OF place, then, are the milliner
and the dress-maker, the trying on of
dresses and tho trimming of bonnets.
There is something profane in exciting
the vanity of u young girl by fitting a
waist or tying on hat, when the corpse
OF father is lying in an adjoining
room. s cS
1t is snorilege to drag the widow
forth from her grief to be fitted for
gown, or to select veil. It is often ter
ribly oppressive to the poor. The widow,
left desolate, with half dozer little chill
dren, the family means already reduced
by the long sickness Of the father, must
draw on her scanty purse to pay for
new wardrobe for herself and children,
throwing away the goodly stock of gar
ments already prepared, when she most
likely knows not where she is to get
bread for those little ones. Truly MAY
fashion be called tyrant, when it robs
q widow of her last dollar. Surely your
you should not call in the milliner to
help display it. Do not, in your afflic-
ton, help uphold custom which will
turn the Affections of your poorer neigh
Dor to deeper poverty, as well as sorrow.

THE FEN1ANs ON THE WAR PATH. The


New York Sun says that since last ac-
counts Col. Gibbons and his associates
have not been idle. The detachments
that left the four poipts-Chicago, De-
troit, st. Louis, and Buffalo-have re-
turned news to the League of their safe
arrival at Fort Gary, near the Red River
itself, so or 100 miles above Pembino.
It took them two days to march from
Douglass, ia the northern portion of
Minnesota, to the fort. Further tilings
from them is shortly expected.
A squad of 200 men will start from this
Gen. James B. Colt will be in COM
mand. Between the 9th and 10Th of
the month. Col. Gibbons will start with
another squad of $50 men. Gen. Cole
will then be left in charge Of the rest,
and will see that they leave the city be-
fore the 1st of February. There will in
all be sent from New York about 700, not
1,500, as was stated in our former report.
1t is true l, 500 will march into the Red
River country, but 800 of them will start
from Chicago, St. Louis, and intermedi-
| ate points. They will have neither arms
nor uniform until they reach st. Paul,
thus preventing all possibility of detec-
ton. They will one by one cross the
ferry to Jersey City, and step into the
Erie train that will be waiting. But
they will resemble ordinary citizens as
fur as appearance goes.
James Fisk, Jr., is acquainted with the
plan, but takes no part in furthering it.
That is to be left to one of the members
OF the League. Were it not for the
economy that is to be practiced to insure
success, 10000 men might be raised in
i l., ,rep MI oIH I,1 e ~
transit, however, more men will be en-
rolled to follow them. Gen. Riol will
command the half-breeds and natives of
the Red River country, and Col Glib
bons will command the American forces
Most of the men belonging to the expe-
dition are old soldiers who served in the
late war. Letters have been received by
the League from all parts of the country,
from Kansas, Missouri, and States of
the South, written by officers and soldiers
of the Union and Confederate armies,
volunteering their services. Here they
are to meet and fight on the same side
once more.
Col. A. J. Morrison, Chief of Phil.
Sheridan's staff, has sent letter to Col.
Gibbons, from Albany. rendering him
the offer of his own service, and of as
many men as he might want. Offers oi
men have been received from numerous
ex-Confederate officers.
In the event they find no enemy to
fight in the Red River country, they pro.
pose making demonstration near To
ronto, Canada, and say the people will
} rise and assist them. The Fenians have
determined to move in that direction ir

BROADWAY CAy1na Is.-Tbere is trouble

BROADWAY CAvING IN.-There is trouble
among the political jobbers on account
Of the pneumatic tube railway. There
is one set of mon working like beavers on
Broadway, near Warren street, who claim
to have the sanction Of the law, and
another gang is making preparations on
a grand scale to commence work at
another portion of Broadway. it also con-
tending that it hns the legal right to bur-
row it's way through tho under-pinnings
OF our most extensive, thoroughfare.
There is one alarming feature about the
digging near Warren street, which came
to light to-day. The contractor who laid
the new pavement. Mr.. Guidet, has dis
covered that the block between Warren
and Murray streets, under which the first
company are working, had fallen during
the past month from seven to nine inches
below the ordinary levela of the other
blocks. He surmised that the under
mining beneath was the cause of the
phenomenon, and was authorized by the
Mayor to-day to investigate.the matter.
He believes his surmises were correct,
and discovered that the tunneling already
made was large enough throughout its
whole lepgthj to admit of good-sized
street car. Suspecting that the pneu-
matte tube company was only cover for
an underground railway. he reported the
facts to Mr.. Hall, who, on inquiry,
learned that the company was auth orized
by chapter 842 of the laws of the State,
passed in 1868, to constructa pneumatic
tube for the transmission of letters and
packages, not ouly under the squares and
avenues OF the city, but also under the
East and North rivers, to communicate
with Brooklyn and Jersey City. The
Mayor hns telegraphed to Albany, re-
qnesting tho repeal of the law which
authorizes the company to DO the work.
The sinking of the block alluded to has
created great CONSERVATION among the
property owners in the vicinity, as well
as the travelling public.
