Important Decisions Rendered by
CnieE-Justice Waite In North Caro-
rFrom the Raleigh Sentinel, 1Sth.]


lFrom the Raleigh Sentinel, 16th.] ...
Srazey Us. North Carolina Railroad In
this case the court decides:
I. That the Circuit Court Of the United
States has jurisdiction over cases involving
the interest Of the State when the State Is
not party of record, and when the subject
mater of the action is within the Jurisdic-
ton OF the court, or when the court can
DIAL " ith the property through an agent.
II. That the stock owned by the State in
the North Carolina Railroad having been
pledged for the" redemption of the bonds
of the State issued to assist in constructing
the road, the holders Of the bonds are entl-
TIED to have so much Of the stock sold as
may be necessary, and the proceeds of sale
Bur TIE saFe fs 'p6stho1ed until the State
shall have an opportunity Of protecting its
stock by a levy Of taxes or by otherwise
raising funds sufficient to pay the accrued
interest.
Self Us. D. A. jenkins: The court stating
that while the powers Of the court might
have been properly invoked to prevent any
application OF the money raised by the spe-
cial taxation levied to provide payment Of
the interest on the bonds issued to various
railroads since the war to purposes other
than those for which the money was raised,
yet, such application not having been made,
the court now has no power 10 interfere with
money in the treasury raised for general pur-
poses of government.

The Dispatch says it "likeS good joke"
How did it relish that one about its being
"the organ Of the chambermaids? Not
much, we fear, as it has never reproduced it
in its columns for the delectation Of its read.
ers.-H Wing.
There is not even originality in this "good
joke" 1t was at first applied to the New
York Herald by its riyals-in 1886 we think.
They became jealous of it on account of its
activity and enterprise. They attempted to
write it down, and this was one of the
phrases they employed against it; but all to
no effect, as the Herald soon surpassed them
all, and became the most popular and pros
porous paper in the Union. The phrase
itself is not bad as descriptive of flourish.
ing paper read by everybody-such as the
New York Herald, Philadelphia Ledger,

THE POSTAL BILL.-The post-ofice appro-
priation bill, as finally passed by the Senate
this afternoon, retains the clause providing
that the postage on all newspapers and peri
odicals shall be prepaid, but with proviso
that it shall not take effect until after the 1st
of January next. A clause was also adopted
allowing the Congressional Record to go free
through the mails, and the postage on all
public documents to be paid at the place of
delivery. From past experience it is not
likely that this last provision will work very
satisfactorily. Senators have laid great
deal Of stress upon the importance of sup
plying the dear people with the public docu-
ments and the intense desire Of the people in
that respect. The strong probability is, how
ever that very few of the documents will be
taken from the post-ofice when postage has
to be paid on them.- Washington telegr am

Last year we opened our eyes and mouths
to marvel over the immensely of the Califor.
MIA wheat crop, and this year we are still
further aStounded by the information that
the crop of 1873 will be more than doubled.
The area in cultivation is upwards of 2,00O,.
900 acres, 100000 acres more than last year.
and the yiela is extraordinarily fine. The
total crop is estimated at minimum figure
of 35,000,000 bushels, leaving 25,900,9O0
bushels for export-nearly twice the greatest
amount that California has ever furnished
for expectation, more than all the rest of the
United States exported last year, and twice
as much as Russia exported from her great
grain districts on the Danube. CALIFORNIA;
gold yield is mere trltle compared with
this golden shower Of grain.

Yesterdays Wing contcsses TO the exact
trn,b--the real source of all our trouble
when it says: "Wo contend that the true
s. theory is that the railroads should them
selves carry on and control the (eNpresS)
Ct business That is exactly the opinion OF
General MALONE, and the Wing as his organ
expresses and earnestly maintains it. This
is what We charged at the beginning of the
controversy. The answer was that the
Adams Express Company and the Danrille
Railroad Company were to blame for break
inc off the intercourse with the Atlantic,
Mississippi and Ohio in the express busi-
ness, and we were told the remedy Of the
,,cople of Richmond was against them.
What comes Of all this? Why just no.
thing at all.
Il would have saved great deal Of con-
troyersy if we had been informed at first
that General MAuoSE's theory was that the
railroads should do their own express bust
ness, and that be did not mean TO make any
terms with the express companies. What,
then, are the facts!
General WILLIAM MALONE, the president
of one of seven railways in Virginia, has
determined that railroads shall do their own
express business. The other six have de.
termined that it is better for them to leave
the express business to the express compa-
mics. SO the one separates from the six, and
there can be no intercourse between those
six and the one. Hence the people near
MAHosE's line and beyond it are the suf-
ferers-yery great sufferers from this break
in communication.
We say this is nonstrous. Either the
railroad companies must jointly do the ex-
press business for the country or they must
jointly leave it to the express companies.
AS we have said, one or two or few can
not act differently from the great bulk of
railroads without bringing inextricable con-
fusion upon the express business, to the
great annoyance and damage of society. IF
General MAHosE thinks otherwise we must
express our establishment that even one SO
dogmaticai as he should so think, while we
should not be surprised that the Wing thinks
as he does.
And this city has to suffer heavily, as we
ail know that it is suffering, because Of this
theory, which is doggedy nd.
hered to, and which is absolutely impractica-
the railroads generally adopt it.

nond is soon to go into Office. It has |

REPUBLICAN PLATFoRMs-How THEY DIFFER
IN DIFFERENT STATES.-The Republican Con-
yentions of Indiana, Illinois, and Vermont
were held Wednesday. Full tickets for
State officers were nominated, and plat
form for the autumn campaign put forward
in each. There are some notable differences
IN these declarations of principles that would
call for reconciliation If an important ma
tional election were involved. The eastern
men were all for hard money and redemp-
ton, the Indianians took the Granger plat
form wholesale, imitation and all, while the
Illnoisans only went so far as to demand an
unlimited issue Of bank notes and the re-
tirement of the legal-tenders, at the same
time insisting that they were in favor Of spe-
Gle payments at the earliest possible mo-
ment. The Indiana Convention included
President Grant in general vote of com.
mendation, the Illinois people were severely
silent concerning the Administration, and
the Vermont men praised it indiscriminately.

Singular Condolences.

=
The Temps notices TIE singular fact that
when NJ. OLIVIER. whose part IN the disas.
trous French war stamps him, in the OF in
ion of lis c5untryneb, us On unlucky ihIi
sidual, took his seat for the FIRST time in
tie French Academy, his colleagues were
busy with the dictionary, and having reach
ed the letter N, were engaged in discussing
the word nejaste-inauspicious. A SINH
lar coincide nee, remarks the London Echo,
is said to have been noticed on the occasion
oe the visit paid to the Academy By the
Queen Christina of Sweden, 1853. After
the royal visitor had been heard and admired
a copy Of verses, the pro iuction Of an
Academician, it was proposed, in order to
give her some idea Of the serious labors Of
thu learned Assembly, to read her II page
of the dictionary. This was accordingly
done when the word jeu, game OF pas
time, happening to come first, wac ilIustra-
ted by eel.ain proyerb.al phrases, among
which occurred the following "Jeur de
Princes, regal pastime, agreeable only to
those who originated it-a piece of spite
or act of violence perpetrated b. one in
power" This was terribly apropos, Queen
Christina having but three months before
engaged in the "regal pastime'' of putting
her equerry Monalderchi to death, an act
Of arbitrary power which, even at tina.
period, was regarded by the pablo in the
light of murder.
