AN "INFERNAL MACHINE."- seems that
the approved implements Of modern warfare
do not destroy human life rapidly enough so
an English inventor offers steam murder ma
chimes as a new invention. The invention
will, it is said, do away with all necessity for
powder and also for horses to drag the ma
chimes, since the projectiles will be discharged
by steam and propelled by the same motor
Since steam engines can now travel upon com
mon roads, and in fact upon no roads at all.
the dream of the inventor does not seem im-
possible of realization. He claims that an
auxiliary steam army may be organized repre-
senting bullet>throwing power of FIVE hum
dred thousand men and worked and controlled
by two or three thousand engineers only.

A Curious Law Case.

A despatch from Baltimore, dated the 9th
inst. says -
The case of the State of Maryland against
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. to
recover one 9th of the total amount received
for the transportation of passengers over the
Washington branch of the road since July |,
1868, was decided to-day in the Supreme
Court of Baltimore City, Judge Dobbin pre-
siding. In 1882 the Les islature Of Maryland.
on amending the act of charter to he Balti-
more aud Ohio Railroad for the construction
of the branch road to Washington, among
other stipulations provided That the Bal
timore aud Ohio Railroad shall pay to the
Treasurer of Maryland semi-annualy, in each
and every year, one fifth Of the whole amount
which may be received for the transportation
of passengers on the said branch railroad. -
Under the provision the company have ren>
dercd accounts and paid into the State Treas
ury one-fifth of the receipts for transportation
of passengers up to June 30, 1868. amount
ing to several millions of dollars. Since the
latter date the company have declined pay
mcnt, and withheld the one fifth of receipts
on the ground that it was tax on passengers
for the privilege passing through the State.
the company assuming that the point was de-
cided By the Supreme Court of the United
case of "Crandall against the State of Nevada"
Under a joint resolution of the Legislature of
Maryland the Attorney General now brings
suit to recover the one>fifth received since
June 8. 1868, amounting to about 100000
The Court this morning granted the prayer
of defendants, that the act of 1882, so far MS
it provided for the payment of the one fifth
of the receipts for transportation of passeu.
gers, is unconstitutional, because it conflicts
with the Constitution of the United States !;
and the further prayer that the fact Of the
payment up to June 3, 1868. did not stop the
defendants from denying the constitutionality
of the act, and that the plaintiff is not entitled
to recover Under this decision of Judge
Dobbin, in an elaborate review of the whole
question, the jury rendered a verdict for the
defendants. Counsel for the State filed ex-
ceptions. The case has been in court since
Thursday of last week, the most eminent
counsel being engaged. The counsel for the
State were attorney General Jones, cx-Gov-
ernor Philip Francis Thomas, hewitt Steele
and Teakle Wallis j.; for the defendants, Rev
erdy johnson and J. II. B. Latrobe. The
court intima'ed that each passenger could re-
cover from the company the one. fifth Cor thirty
cents) of the fare exacted by the company.
The company at once reduced, by oneffth,
the fare between Washington and Baltimore.

Brave Words.

Col. VI. L. GALLAwAY has been con-
nccted with the Memphis press for
many years, and always commanded
a large share of newspaper fame be-
cause of the enthusiasm with which
he advocated his extreme Southern
views. He was one of the first avow-
ed secessiOnists i'm the South, which
cause he advocated with an ardOr that
i'm the days of chivalry would have
carried him with the Crusaders to the
Holy Land. a few weeks ago he
retired from the Memphis Avalanche,
because his opinions on the political
questions of the day did not entirely
agree with those of Col. kELLAR, the
principal owner of the paper. Colonel
GALLAwAY is now connected with the
Memphis Appeal, and the following
extract is from his salutatory
Everything that will contribute TO
tho prosperity of the Southern people
shall find i'm us jealous friend and
advocate. But while looking TO the
material interest of the South we shall
strive TO inculcatc correct principles,
for without these life is contemplate
and the comforts of life void of salts
faction. If we preserve the brave,
fearless temper of the Southern peO-
pie, VIC save from the wreck OF our
fortunes the most precious gem that
sparkled i'm the crown i'm our days of
prosperity. Railroads, and turnpikes
and bridges. and aqueducts, and
Coliscums did not save Rome when
the immortal spirit had been attack
cd like "a worm in the bud. Hence
the cry for material Developments,
without caring for material principles,
the Constitution, our liberties, honor,
the genius of our institutiOns-On the
ground that the days of principle,
like the days of chiyalry. arc ended,
i. shameful; il is sc"ndalous: it is a
most deceptive cry, and most fla
grant fallacy. We want material de-
vclopment, but We do not want them
by any dishonest sacrifices: and we
have yet 10 learn that fidelity to the
Right intcrfcrcs with cithor the pros
pcrity or happiness of apcOplc.
