Our Constitution members who have been
assembled in the city Of Lansing during por-
ton OF the past season under this somewhat
expressive title of The Constitutional Com
mission" have completed their work and gone
HON e.. each with sufficient amount OF the
peoples money in his pocket to buy ire wood
for the coming winter. The most notable thing
they have done is to embody provision in the
proposed constitution by which the people, who
do the paying, are deprived Of any voice in the
making OF the Judges Of the Supreme and Cir
cult Courts. Upon the adoption of that instru-
ment by the people they cease to have any
thing to do In the matter except to pay the
salaries. Political rings will select the candi.
dates and the Governor appoint. The Judges
will not be responsible to the people-they will
be entirely out Of their reach and entirely indie.

stride towards Capitalization of which there il

has lust been voted down in New York; anC
If the people OF Michigan do not do the same
thing by this document it will be because they
do not understand its nature or else are ready
to yield their political rights to the rings.
The fact is, more Of the offices of the govern

has second or third rate lawyer, who happens
to be elected to Congress, to say who shall
hold the Office of Postmaster at Paw Paw, De
catur, Lawrence or south Haven? and bestov
his appointments in such manner a., in hi
opinion, will best serve to promote a re-elec

Indeed, such articles have already made thei

there is fitness in things, the Telegraph ap

rs THIS 4 SAMPLE REVENUE CASE
The house of Phelps, Dodge a. Co. was
accused of defrauding the Government in
duties through undervaluations of imported
goods. THE TRIBUNE believed tho charge
preposterous, and said SO. But the house
brought those who believed in 1t to confusion,
by pleading guilty in a payment to the Gov
ernment of quarter of million dollars
penalty. 1t is, therefore, under the necessity
now Of proving its innocence, and this it
essays in a card whereof the substance appears
elsewhere.
But for that amazing payment, the task
would seem an easy one. The story of the
card is perfectly straightforward and simple
The house imported lines of goods bought in
open market, and also precisely the same lines
taken on long contracts. The actual cost Of
the latter would naturally be sometimes above,
sometimes below the market price on the day
of their delivery and shipment. Hence-not to
cumber the story with needless details-the
discrepancies, the stories of double sets of in
voices, one for the Custom-house and the
other for the private use of the firm, the in
formation by a discharged and dishonored
clerk, the seizures, and the astounding action
of tho firm in paying over quarter OF mil
lion dollars penalty for errors which, on

Illinois and has been denied certain priyi-
leges which are accorded to other citinns OF
that State. This last point, however, is not 80
clearly made. The plaintiff claims, among
other things, that she was at one time citi-
zen of Vermont, and we are left to infer that
she is accordingly (under Article lV. OF the
Constitution) entitled in Illinois to any priv
ileges accorded in that State to citizen OF
Vermont.
The Supreme Court. however, puts aside the
Vermont citizenship as Of no account, and de-
cides the cause upon its absolute merits. AS
in the New-0rleans case, decided day before
yesterday, this appeal is held to be based on
misapplication of principles. In the New
Orleans case, the Court divided State citizen
ship, and the rights belonging thereto, from
United States citizenship and the rights and
immunites under the protection of the Con-
stitution Of the United States. The Ight to
admission to practice law in State Courts is
not ono Of these latter. Indeed, 1T Is
held that United States citizenship is not
q prerequisite to the right to practice in State
or Federal Courts. If Myra Bradwell bases
her appeal to the Supreme Court on the claim
that her rights as citizen of the United
States have been abridged, she pleads q non
sequitur. Her rights may have been invaded !;
but it does not follow that those rights belong
to her as q citizen of the United States. The
privileges which she claims are clearly in the
class which relate to the citizenship of q
State. Myra Bradwell's case belongs in
the same category with that of the
New Orleans butchers. These men claimed
that their rights were invaded by the estab-
lishment of monopoly. The Court says that
those rights, whatever they may be, are in
the custody of the State. So with the right to
practice law. If the State Courts exclude
Myra Bradwell, the United States Supreme
Court cannot assume jurisdiction and compel
her admission Both this and the New-Or-
leans cause are valuable and important as de-
termined precedents They set up barrier
against new attempts to tako to the National
Government the adjustment of questions
legitimately belonging to State tribunals and
legislatures.

fbs Covernmenrs own showing, cost the
revepue less tban thr5e thousand, and ON the
firms claim were more than balanced by
over-payments during the same time. 10
mt the matter i'm briefer COMPASS, the h0use
of Phelps, Dodge g. Co. admits tech
nical, and,-as it claims, and as appears
entirely probabe,-a wholly unintehuonai
violation of law, whereby, on business OF
forty millions, it paid the Government between
two and three thousand dollars TOO htue
though it insists that, through other errols IL
paid the Government more than that amount
too much on other items.
But, for that error, it consented to pay the
Government a quarter of million IL was
fatal folly.
We hope this case may not pass ont OF
public attention until the monstrous nature OF
the law which really seems to permit
such things, and the repulsive character
of the spies, infOrmers, and treacherOus clerks,
who, under the fit leadership of Special
Agent Jayne, of hand-cuf memory, get the
main profit of it, and batten on tho spoils OF
legitimate commerce, shall be thoroughly APP
preciated by the great mercantile community
they are doing so much TO damage. This
case seems one of mOnstrous injustice,
kindly and legally perpetrated. Once
teach our importers that that is the way
the law works, and the way the authorities
want to enforce it, and you have done more
to demoralze commerce, encourage frauds on
the Government, and damage New-York than
has been done by all the smugglers that have
preyed on the revenue since the collection OF
duties at this port began.

WOMENS RIGHTS AND STATE RIGHIS.
By the decision in tho Myra Bradwell case,
yesterday, the Supreme Court of the United
States remanded the whole question involved
to the several States. Myra Bradwell, q
woman resident in Chicago, applied to the
Judges Of the Supreme Court of Illinois for a
license to practice law. The petitioner was
admitted to be qualified for the privilege
which she desired; but it was denied her on
the ground that she was woman. This de-
NAL Myra Bradwell claims was in violation of
the IVth and XIVth Articles of the Constitu-
ton of the United States. The first-named
provision declares, among other things (Sec-
tion 2, paragraph ~, that "the citizens of
leach State shall be entitled to all privileges
land immunities Of citizens in the several
States And the substance of the XIVth
Article is that all persons born or naturalized
in the United States and subject to the juris-
diction thereof are citizens of the United
States and of the State in which they reside
and that no State shall make or enforce any
law which shall abridge the rights and priv
ileges of citizens of the United States. Myra
Bradwell, then, claims that she is a citizen OF
the United States, according to the definition
TINS given; that she has been denied by the
State Of Illinois certain rights and priv
ileges to which she was entitled as
such citizen Of the United States; that

One more ghost story! Last Summer, farmer
living on Shawnee prairie, near Attica, Ind, was
taken off by lightning His widow, after proper
season of grief, rejoined herself to respectable
citizen, and the parties would be perfectly happy
but for the extraordinary conduct of the man who
was struck by Lightning. He continues to turn up
and hang around in the most unreasonable way.
While the widow was removing her little property
to the house of her new husband the ghost put in
most decided and peremptory appearance. There
ought to be some way of arresting this ghost and
holding it to bail to keep the peace according TO law,
and if the specters continue TO thus thick and
fast, we shall look for some necessary and vigorous
legislation against them.

how to keep up the prayer-moetings and how to
