Inland transportation of Bonded Goods
A Constitutional Difficulty.

The House of Representatives concurred
on Saturday with the Senate in the adoption
of an amendment to the Tax bill, by which
foreign goods imported into New York, Bos-
ton, Portland, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New
Orleans, and Port Huron, may be immed lately
transported in bond TO certain other ports Of
entry named mostly inland. The purpose
of this measure il 10 avoid the veXatious
DELAYS to which merchants in the interior,
importing goods from Europe, are exposed
under the present system. These merchants
complain that their importations are
detained at the ses-coast custom houses for
weeks and weeks, to their great detrment,
and to the corresponding advantage of more
favored rivals Should .he proposed enact
ment prevail, II will, in effect. make Of the
cars Of certain railroad lines, to be designated
by the Secretary of the Treasury, bonded
warehouses during the period of the transit
of the goods 10 the interior, and the work Of
appraiscmcnt and liquidation Of duties will
be performed at the place Of ultimate desti-
nation instead of that Of landing.
In the course of the debate on the amend
ment in the Senate, Mr.. B,YARD raised q
question of constitutionallty, which, though
rather cavalierly treated by most OF his fel.
low Senators, 10 not without weight. The
ninth section of the irst article of the Con.
stitution of the United States provides that
"no preference shall be given by any regu-
lation of commerce or revenue to the ports Of
one State over those OF another" To enact,
therefore, that goods may be imported into
port Of one State for the purpose of trans.
mission on land to the interior, when they
may not be imported for that purpose into
the ports of another State, is plainly, in Mr..
BAYARDs view giving a preference-and a
very important preference-to one State over
another.
The answer made to this argument in the
debate was FIRST, that the object of the
section quoted from the Constitution was
merely TO prevent q higher rate of duties be-
ing exacted at one port than at another; and
in the second place, that if Mr.. BAYARD's
doctrine was sound IL was unconstitutional
to make one port port Of entry while an
other was not port of entry. For clearly 1t
is privilege for port to be a port of entry
and if this privilege is not to be conferred on
the ports of one State TO the exclusion Of
those of another, then our custom-house
legislation has been unconstitutional all
along. Accordingly, Mr.. BAYARD, though
supported by Messrs. CoNKLISo, EDNUNDs,
and HOWE, was voted down, and the ques,
ton will probably be left to be decided by
the courts.

Another Outrage in 81. Domingo.

We give place In another part of this paper
to tile statement of Mr.. j. NJ. CoLoMBANI of
an outrage lately inflicted upon him by Pres
ident BAEz of st. Domingo. II seems that
he went down there for tho purpose of
working certain copper mines in which he
is interested. As soon as he landed he
was arrested by order of the Government
cast into a loathsome prison, refused any ex.
PLANTATION of the reason OF his arrest, and
finally sent out Of the country with what is
called Il passport of electment" At the
same time he was informed that II he should
attempt TO return, he would again be put in
prison and subjected to the same process of
Punishment or not, as the Government
might determine.
1t appears that this gentleman Is an
American citizen that he was in st. Do.
mingo upon legitimate business that he was
not in any way concerned in any political
controversy belonging to that country and
that he did not desire or intend in any man.
ner to interfere with the action either Of the
Governm ent of BAEz, or of the Evolutionary
party which is opposed to it, Ills only pur
pose was to work the copper mines to which
he had a lawful title. Nevertheless, from
some motive of Jealousy, or from some i'm
pulse of caprice, he was subjected to the out

An interesting question, which has coca.
stoned great deal Of discussion during the past
ten years, was raised anew in the Senate, by Mr..
THURMAN of Ohio, on Monday last. The bill
granting lands 10 aid in the construction of the
Sioux City and Columbus Railroad, IN Nebraska,
was before the Senate, and Mr.. TRUMAN moved
to amend it by inserting a provision, "tbat
said Company shall at all times transport troops,
munitions of war, and public stores OF the United
States free of charge" This amendment was op.
posed by Mr.. PoHERoY Of Kansas. who moved to
insert in its place the usual provision, "that this
road shall be free 10 the use of the Government for
the transportation Of troops, munitions of war,
and public stores." This, Mr.. PoMERor said, was
what had always been required Of railroad com
panies receiving land grants. Its effect was to
make their roads free to the use Of the Govern
ment but it required the Government to find
its own rolling stock, and do all its own work.
Nr. THURMAN commended that Mr.. PoMERoY's pro-
vision amounted 10 nothing at all and that In
any case Of need the Government would be OBJ
liged to hire cars and locomotives and men TO run
them from the railway companies, and to pay for
them Just what the companies might choose to
demand. He contended that il such bounties were
return would be 10 transport troops Of the Cnitcd
States, munitions Of war and public stores over
the road free of charge; and that nine times out
of ten every necessity for sending troops, mum
tons of war and public stores would be neccs-
sity of defending the road itself When the
question was taken Mr. THURMAN was defeated,
and the proposition of Mr.. PoNERoY was adopted
by 81 yeas TO 10 nays. Tho yeas were all Repub
lcans, and the nays contained about equal
mixture Of members of the two parties.
This subject was frequently brought mp in the
House OF Representatives during the rebellion by
MI, WAsHBrRNg Of Illinois. That gentleman was
an opponent Of the Illinois Central Railroad, the
first important corporation that received a land
grant from Congress. 1t had claims for transpor-
tation against the War Department amounting TO
several hundred thousand dollars. Mr.. WASH.
BuRNE argued that they should not be paid, but
should be treated simply as offset to the land
grant. This view. however, was constantly re.

The Threatened European War.

The latest dcsratches from Eurone, though

The Rim Park Riot.

There is no true Irshman but must hang
his head with shame at the disgraccful
scenes which occurred ut Elm Park and
along the Eighth avenue on Tuesday. To
the Catholic party belongs the guilt of
making murderous assault upon mixed
crowd Of men, women, and children, hours
after even the show Of provocation had been
received. The PrOtestants may be ccnsured
for using imprudent language during their
march. Their enemies say they did use such
language, though they aver that they did
not. One thing, however, is indisputalilc.
The Irish Professionals have the same rights
In this city as the Irish Catholics. II ii is
right for the Catholics to parade with music
and banners on the nth Of March, 1t is right
that the Professionals should be accorded the
same privilege on the leth of July. And II
Is the business of the authorities to protect
both in their legal rights If the City and
State Governments do not guarantee this
liberty, It may fall upon Congress to protect
the Irish Protestants from the fury of the
class OF persons who have disgraced them.
selves and their nation by this horrible
massacre.
One evil the misguided Catholics who
took part in the riot have done, which
they probably did not think Of They have
brought large amount of odium upon
their religion in the minds Of unreason-
ing people. 1t will be said, and with con-
iderable force, that If Catholic teachings pro
huce class of men who are converted into
Wild beasts whenever their prejudices are
nssailed, there is not much value In them.
A religion which does not render US tolerant
and patient Of abuse especially when we are
In the right, does not amount to much. OF
course the great body Of Catholics know this,
and deplore the events of Tuesday more bit
terly than Protestants do. 1t must be hard
indeed for them to think how grievously
their Church has been injured by those
who pretend to act in defence Of her honor.
