all right to be United States Senator and

Imp0rtant Decislon.

r. is stated that the Supreme Court has
promulgated its decision in the jaw case,
which is very important. In 1870 the town
of Jay voted to loan its credit to a manufac-
turing enterprise in that town and applied to
the next Legislature to make valid the pro-
ceedings, which after protracted contest,
was done. The case was then carried to the
Supreme Court which now decides that the
Legislature is not empowered to give munich
palities the authority to aid manufacturing
enterprises. The Court also considered the
subject of municipal aid to railroads, and
unanimously came to the conclusion that
such aid is constitutional, holding that rail-
roads are improved public ways and such cor
porations are public corporations, which is
not true of manufacturing enterprises. Thus
the Supreme Court overthrows the policy OF
municipal aid to manufacturing corporations ;
but in the meantime, what is to be the result
where towns have already extended aid? This
is evidently very serious question.

THE New York Herald states that eleven
English iron steamers, employed mostly in
carving grain, have been lost the past sea-
son. In its estimate, however, it includes
several that are overdue" and which may
YET be heard from. 1t is further stated that
these vessels have been lost in consequence Of
their faulty construction, being long and mar
row with view to secure increased speed.
1t is further indicated that the iron ships for
the transportation of cereals, cotton, ETC., are
not meeting with the expectations of their
projectors. These matters being taken into
consideration, it seems very evident that
wooden ships for this extensive business will
again be generally used.
