WASHINGTON, January 19.-Gene-
raj Pleasanton, Commissioner Of In

on Ways and Means, very strongly
advocated Immediately abOlishing the

being that the cost of collecting is
greater than the amount obtained, so
that no revenue Is derived from 1t.
General PIeasantOn also recommended
that some law be passed providing for
the export of spirits.

The maunST in which the decision Of
the Supreme Court of the United States
in the cotton tax case was announced,
left the impression that the constitution
atty of the lay imposing the tax was
affirmed. The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette writes Feb. 20:
SIN the Supreme Court today, judge
Nelson announced that the Court was
equally divided in the case Of harrington
vs.. Saunders, involving the constitutions
atty of the cotton tx. The judgment
below, in faycr Of Ae government. is
therefore approved, but no binding deCi-
sion is being reached upon the conslitu-
tioRaliiy OF the law. 1t is understood
That JUSTICES Swayne, Miller Strong and
Bradley were OF the opinion taat the lax
was unconstitutional, anjJus,icss Nelson,
Clifford, Davis and Field were Of the
contrary opinion.
It will be seen that four Of The judges
among whom are Grants appointccs,
Strong and Bradley-favor the c.rstitu-
tionality Of the law, While he other four
assert that it is unconstitutional. 1t is a
pity Chief Justice Chase was not there to
settle the question.
