HAS STATE THE RIGHT To TAX THE

involving the question. Firsi whether the
properly OF the road Is liable to be taxed bv the
states through which the road passes: and,
second, whether it is competent for q comfy to
tax for nnOTganized territory adjacent 10 Il nader
the Law Of the state. The court balOW decided
both questions in the affirmative, and L 4 here
contended that the properly Is exempt under
the federal constitntiGn because the company
was created and indoTsed with lis franchises,
powers and property as a means Instrument and
agency of government for the execution of the
powers vested nit and TINT the court erred in
holding that the taxing ofportions Of the road
By the county beyond its limits was valid. On
behalf of the state 1t is urged that taxation On
an agency OF the government which does not i'm
par its efficiency IN serving the purpose for
which ii was created must be permitted, and
that taxation OF the agents property, as such, is
not within the rule ofprineiPle Of exemption.
William NJ. Esarts argued the case for the
company. He claimed exemption from all
liability TO pay any taxes to the state on the
ground that the con pany Is an agent Ofthe Uni

that TO tax it is 10 tax indirectly the govern.

other side was made by j. III. MoOlWOrlh, Esq.
Of Omaha. he conceded the doctrines laic

General Grant on the Third Term

General Grant on the Third Term.
The Herald, without protesting to have
interviewed General GRANT, gives state
ment of the tenor of what he said to party
of three gentlemen recently at Long Branch.
He said that the third term didn't interest
him at all. alt isrno business OF mine"
said he, .sto manage the politics OF the coun-
CRY, The execution of the duties of the
office of President is quite as much as one
q man can attend to- He went on to state
that be reluctantly consented to give up the
office of General, but accepting the nomina-
ton for President he stood by it. He said
tbe second term was unsought by him, but
he told his friends that he thought the party
owed him vindieation "for having i'm
/" posed with the office tn aspersions of
b" their political enemies"
Coming to the second term, the President
is reported to have said /: ,..
,"Let me see; this is AusIst-March to
August is five. months, and now the news
papers are anxious to know if Il am TO serve
q third term when the, second is hardly be-
gun. The way Congress has treated all of
my recommendations doesn't make me ap-
pear either influential or dangerous. Ioften
think OF Lincoln's answer to the importu-
nate applicant for army honors--7.I haven't
any Influence with this administration, my
friend; you will have to appeal to Con-
gresS.' II the newspapers want TO know
whether will be renominated why don't
they quiz the party that elected me ~
"Whyf don't you silence this squabble by
announcing your intention to retire to pri-
yate life at the: end Of the term" asked one
of the company iokingly. i..... ......-....
The President promptly answered." You
forget the fate Of CoIfaX. Will it not be
time enough to refuse when the refusal is at
my disposal" ..... .ss.a.
Whether this be a true report of what
General GRANT said or not, it is very like
bim-exsetly what we should have expected
him to say. The fate of CoLFKx is one that
the President never will bring upon himself.
He will not unnecessarily and affectedly de-
cline reelection be may desire, and will be
always ready to profit by events: In this
respect he is very wise; and stands ready to
accept the third term If offered to him.

THE Foreipners-The Irish.

The recent negro convention at Chilllcothe
showed that the members of that body TOOK
GREAT umbrage at the position awarded for
feirners in this country, which, by compare
son, placed the negroes to disadvantages
The feeling on this subject was very bitter,
as we may see by what the president OF that
body. john BOOKER, said of The Irish: That
they "had sold themselves, body and soul, 10
to q party" <...-... 80.
This reminds us of what was said by the
late scurvy Congressman PORTER. foR7ER'
one day in speech to the negroes, congratu'
lated them that they were not corruptlble
like the foreigner-they were not like the
Irishman, purchasable-not like him that
would sell himself. body and soul, to party

orable ROBERT w. HUGHES. We suppose we
may call him so, as LINDSEY and BURhILL
ToLER are honorables, although he has never
been sent to Congress, only having been
defeated candidate.
1t is we'll for all whites, and especially
foreigners, to remember these things. They
should not be remembered in malice to the
moor negro. because he is only simple child,
not knowing what he does; but in justice to
themselves, TO stimulate them to maintain
the integrity of their race, and to keep the
Government of the country in the bands OF
the intelligent white race, which has to sup
port it and defend it, and which gives it all
of wisdom, force, and dignity that belongs
to it. What would become Of the State if
left to the negro? Look at South Carolina,
at Louisiana.
The Irish "sell" themselves, indeed!
They sometimes sell their lives on the Dattle-
field, but they sell them very dearly.

African Insurrection in Ohio.

We have already published telegraph,
memorandum of Il rebellious meeting of AT.
ricans in Chillicothe, Ohio. Late Ohio pa
pers bring us the particulars of it. 1t was
certainly very savory and diversified enter
tainment.
1t appears that the Africans, having been
very much elated and inflated by the Repub-
lean philanthropic demag0gism about equal
lty Of races and Of civil rights, had been led
to expect perfect equality in social matters
and also share OF the public offices, in
which expectations they have been thus far
disappointed.
They either forgot or had not learned that
all this Republican Hal or f1abbergast was
intended for the South, where there were
negro voters in numbers worth talking
about, aud not for the blacks of the North

and African memory is fleeting. The Atr''

neither looks ahead nor treasures up the

.e So our Ohio citizens of African descent,
looking only TO their present claims. Their
rights under the amendments, and their en-
tire neglect by the Republican party, held
their Indignation convention at Chillicothe
on the 22d of August. One PETER H.
CLARK, of Ciacinnati, called the meeting to
order and proclaimed that the friends of the
co.ored man OF whatever party were invited
TO join him in the convention. On his mo-.
ton. WILLIAM III. JONES was appointed tenn.
porary chairman, who in short speech
said the occasion was "fuIl of suggestive.
ness" Unquestionably it was; and, further.
more, he said that the colored people knew
that. according to CHARLES SUMNER, they
could only get their rights byagiiation and
furthermore, according to a higher authori-
ty, they were told that if.they Knocked the
