A most importans decision was rendered
on the Is, bv the Supreme Court. The Union
Pacific Railroad Company tried to eyade the
payment Of taxes in the States through which
it passes, on the plea that the government has
such interest ID its property as to take it out
of the operation of State laws, and exempt it
from State taxatiop. In the case Of the Com
pany VS.. Permission, Treasurer CT Lincolp
county, Nebraska, Justice Strong has laid
down an entirely different doctrine. H g holds
that although the Company is an agent of the
Government, military ana postal, its property
is not exempt from State taxation on account
Of such relation.

A CRUEL SENTENcE.-Th Court martial
which tried Marshal Bazine, charged with
betraying bis country in surrendering Metz,
found him guilty, and sentenced him to be
shot, after being degraded from his rank Of
Marshal. The Court, however, unanimously
recommended that President McMahon COM
mute the sentence, and he has spared
France the shame Of putting to death the
distinguished soldier.
The sentence IS fixed at twenty years. Sc
clusion. which means imprisonment on the
distant island Of Saint Marguerite. He is to
bear the effects of degradation frcm his rank
but it will be effected without exposure to
the vulgar throng. The marshall accepts
his fate with heroism, confidently awaiting
that justification which twill come with the
lapse of time and the subsistence Of party
passions" Before twenty months have passed
away. the now convicted and degraded chief
will peat liberty, and likely enough reiusta-
ted in all his honors. Any turn Of the polit-
cal wheel in France may result 10 his recall
to place and power.

There is, perhaps, no disease with which our

many victims that fell destroyer of the human
raee-Consumption. Day after day, year after year
the insatiate monster hurres to the cold and silent
portals of the tomb fresh added victims to its con-

Vious to the attacks of other ills, and whose good

upon his vials, and tearing him from u world ever

well spent.
Consumption, in its confirmed and incipient

the minority by the issue of six millions
1t is thought, however, that amicable ar
rangements have been made with the
Tracy party latterly, and that both inter

have combination of the Horace F. Clark
