AN IMPORTANT DECISION RELATIVE TO RAIL
ROADS OF THE STATE.

ROADS OF THE STATE.
ST. LOUIS, March 27.-The Supreme Court
has decided an important case affecting rail-
roads in this State. The case was that of the
North Missouri Railroad Company, NJ X. Jes-
sop vs. Constantine Mcguire, State and County
Collector of st. Louis county, on an appeal from
validity of an ordinance passed by the Consti-
that there shall be levied and collected from the
Pacific Railroads, North Missouri and Iron
Mountain companies, an annual tax of 10 per
cent. on the gross receipts from October l, 1866,
to October 1, 1868, and 10 per cent. thereafter,
to be applied by the General Assembly to the
payment of the principal and interest due and
to become due upon the bonds of the State is
sued to said railroads.
The defence was that the ordinance was I'M
constitutional that it violates the Federal Con-
stitution, and is opposed to the provision which
declares that no State shall pass laws to impair
the obligations OF a CONTRACT. The decision is
that the ordinance is constitutional, and pro-
vides for nothing more than the legitimate ex-
ercise of the power of taxation The Missouri
Pacific and Iron Mountain roads are equally in
terested in this decision: The present outstand-
ing Indebtedness of these roads IS $40, 291 900;
their gross earnings since 1866 have been 1884,
GAL ,4S4, which would yield from the Iron Noun
tain S755, 2y2; from tile North Missouri 81 49,
5S7; from the Missouri Pacific $2,563, 53S; total
4,79S, All; leaving q balance to be collected in
the future of S., 1872, 5S3, which would liquidate
the State debt contracted for the heneit Of these
roads. The case will be appealed to the United
States Supreme Court.

HACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.-Disc

cries in mechanism or manufacture, BY
which money and labor are saved are admitted
to be of incalculable value to the race of man
kind. How much more valuable, then, is that
discovery in science which promotes health,
lengthens life and dispels diseases from the hui
man frame? To such a discoverer the world
must ever remain indebted, for all its wealth is
but drop in the bucket compared to the life of
a fellow being. Indeed mankind is too incred-
ulous to believe that any great Panacea can be
concocted for all the ills of life, and when q
scientific man asserts that he has made such a
discovery, the breadth of his declaration at
once causes doubt to arise, he is Immediately
declared an empyric, and his nostrums, however
valuable in some respects, are branded quack-
cry" and at once discarded. That remedies may
be produced for all diseases of a similar origin
we have not the shadow of doubt. Indeed, we
know this to be true, for we have seen it thor
oughly tested in Bakers Premium Bitters, but
great as are the curative powers of this invalua-
BILE vegetable medicine, and wonderful as has
been its effects in relieving nervousness general
debility, costiveness, indigestion, heart burn,
dyspepsia, sick stomach, bowel complaint, ague
and fever, and depression of spirits we do not
pretend to claim for it the mastery over hum
dreds of other diseases that we might name
We know that when used in low, marshy coun-
tries, where ague and fever prevalent, it will
prevent this disease as well as billiousness, and
that it will all others for which it is recon-
mended, whom regularly taken. We also know
that it is the best tonic ever used by delicate fe
males and teething children, and that it will
cure the acidity of the stomach in very short
time. But it is useless for US to say more about
its virtues Manufactured in our midst, pre-
pared from recipe of one of the ablest Ply
sicians in the Union, and taken and recon-
mended to others by our people, are the best ev-
licences that could be given that Bakers Pre-
MUM Btters are what they purport to be-the
greatest family medicine of the age. Let the
