CisiOn.
New York, May 80.
A Washington dispatch says that the
decision Of Commissioner Pleasonton In
the New York Central Railroad scrip
dividend case there creates great
surprige, as tho long delay and
other circumstances had led many to
suppose the decision, when made, would
be adverse TO the Government. General
Pleasanton does not expect that the com.
pany will begin judicial proceedings to
avoid the payment, but TO prevent this
lie has eliminated from the question all the
issues. One Of the most important Of the
questions yet TO be settled will liC the
claim Of the Government for interest on
the tax from the time IL was due until II
was paid The decision does not settle
this, but there is no doubt that the com.
pany will have to pay IT,

Some medical men insist that it is
ever valuable it may be. Queer rea-
soning this. 1t Is like saying that an
article which the world needs should be
hid in corner-that benefits aud bless
ings may be too widely difused-
that the means Of protecting and restor-
ing health should be q close monopoly,
and not accessible to all. The argument
is bad. It is worse than that; it Is inhu
man. Suppose Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters-an absolute specific for dyspep-
Ella, biliousness and nervous debility =
had never been known beyond the rep
ertoire of the faculty, what wonld have
been the consequence? Instead Of cur
ing and invigorating millions, the good
effects Of the preparation would have
been confined TO Q comparative few.
There Is the highest authority for saying
that light should not be under bushel;
that whatever IL excellent should be
placed ~ city on hill, whore all men
can take cOgnizance Of 1t. 1t Is upon
this principle that the Bitters have been
advertised and continue to be advertised
In every newspaper Of any prominence
In the western hemisphere, and that tho
spontaneous testimonials in its favor
have been translated into all written
languages. Thousands enjoy perfect
health TO- day who would be languishing
on beds OF sick ness II the newspapers
had not spread the truth NTH regard to
to this uneQudlcd inuigorant and correct
ivc far and wide. Suppose profit has
been reaped from this publicity. Is that
any argument against it? 1.-THE public
has been protected; II lives have been
saved; IL the feeble have been strength
ened and the sick restored, great good
has been accomplished: and who 50 mean
AZ to grudge to exertions thus directed
their fair reward. w.a..,

BILE item. BY an Act Of the last Legis-
lature all railroads pay stated TAX upon
gross receipts, four ffths Of which b ap-
portioned among the counties through
which they ran, in proportion to the
number of miles in each. Cedar county
last year received twenty-one hundred
dollars from this source. OF course,
there can be no answer to all this, and
much more that might be added, save
that the tax will pay, and that speedily.
To the few, If any, who argue that there
is no use to vote it because the road will
be built any way, no argument 10 due.
That is the principle of appropriating
the fruits Of another's labor to your own
nse-in other words, stealing. With the
triumph of this tax measure. We are Oh

RAIL ROAD TAxEs."-A communi-
cation with the foregoing caption, from
a respected but somewhat misguided
correspondent, who took the ground
that the conditional aid to railroads as
voted by some Of our townships was un-
constitutional and there fore null and
void, was given place in these columns
some two weeks since, as of right, in an
swer to previous article upon the other
side of the question. Lest any of the
honest friends of equitable aid to rail
road projects by the means of tax may
have been made uneasy thereby, we
will take occasion-not to attempt any
argument in answer, for which we have
neither time nor space. and which is rem
iered unnecessary by the following facts,
which, as we were just saying above, we
will here take occasion to state: First,
that the article in question was a special
plea, gotten up for local purpose that
is supposed to have been accomplished
by it Tor something else)-the defeat of
the Fremont tax; second, that plenty
of "a good lawyers and jursts a. can be
found, including some of those who
helped make the law in question. after
careful consideration of the subject have
concluded that the votes as proposed are
all right, and that the taxes levied by
virtue Of them will be collected and APP
piled under the conditions as intended
without difficulty; and third, that the
"opinion" SO gravely cited comes from
locality too adversely interested in
these matters to have too much weight
in this county.
