We mentioned some weeks ago the

We mentioned some weeks ago the
singular blunder made by the Mary
land legislature in passing an assess
ment law whose terms exempted from
taxation all the property in the State
except that which the trainers OF the
law intended to exempt. A case under
the law has recently been passed upon
by the Supreme Court Of Appeals In
that State and the act hss
been adjudged unconstitutional aud
void, and, in the course o
the opinion pronounced, the cour
bestows heavy and deserved censurt
upon the legislature for the haste snc
carelessuess and negligence which rem
dered the passage of such an act posi-
bic. The State OF Maryland has nc
law this year authorizing the assess
ment or collection Of taxes for State
purposes, and the people have not fully
determined what is best to be done un'
der the circumstances. The lesson ii
one that may be studied with profit by
legislators in other States.

OUR readers have been informed by
our telegraph dispatches Of the meet.
ing held last week in Syracuse, New
York, to form a new party in opposi.
ton to secret societies, and more espe-
cially to Masonry. Commenting on
the movement, the New York Journal
of Commerce comes at the point square,
", when it says: The persons engaged
in the crusade against secret societies
ought TO be ashamed OF the specious
pretense OF their chosen name-"The
National Christian Association" This
is Pharisaical assumption that secret
societies are necessarily hostile to
Christianity, as they are lar from being.
Some OF these societies are
political in their aims, like the
Changers. Others are mutually protec.
1--WE auu svv,U.,, INV sue race uasUuo
and Odd Fellows. Others have re-
forms to work out, like the Temperance
brotherhoods. These organizations
have various objects Of existence, and
some Of them we do not like, but that
is no reason why they should be at
tackled as auti-Christian. We notice
that not a word 10 said against the
trade unions-the most dangerous OF
all the secret bands, and it is evident
that the National Christian Associa-
ton" is perfectly willing to pass those

The opinion grows that the Civil
Rights bill will not be passed by ths
present House OF Representatives. BUT
LER made another effort last Monday to
have it taken up, but the vote against
it was larger than before. The Repub'
licau politicians in the House are be-
ginning to fight shy of the measure
because OF the belief that. il passed, il
would be vetoed by the President and
they do not wish to give him this
chance Of gaining popularity in the
Southern States.

Wisconsin has law regulating rail-
road traffic in that Stale, which, while
designed with the good purpose Of
preventing excessive charges and I'M
Just determinations, is not peculiarly
happy in its application. Legal pro-
ceedings have been Instituted by the
Milwaukee and st. Paul line in case
which will serve to illustrate the pecu-
liar workings OF the statute: A GUAM
tity of lumber was shipped from Osna
kosh to 0conomowoc, distance OF
seventy five miles. According to the
new law, IS per car is allowed for the
first twenty-five miles. S. Tor the Sec
ond, and 81 for the third, or thirteen
miles thereof. The law make no discrim-
instion in regard to connecting roads.
In the present case sixty-three miles Of
the seventy.fve were on the Northwest
ern road, and the remaining twelve on
the Milwaukee and st. Paul. Accord
ingly the North western road claimed
the entire amount allowed by law, viz !:
s. for the fret twenty-five miles, IS
for the second and g for the next
thirteen miles. The Milwaukee and
st Paul road, unable to comprehend
the logic of being compelled to carry
freight for nothing, attempted to col.
lect $40, and the case is now occupy
ing the attention oil the Courts. 1t is
likely to pass for review before the
highest tribusal OF the State.
One OF the provisions OF the law that
is most bitterly opposed by the rail-
roads is that which prohibits them from
charging more than three cents per
mile sor carrying passengers. Accord
ipgly, under Instructions from the Of
fcers Of the companies, the conductors
refuse to inform passengers the exact
distance to the point OF their destins-
tion. The passenger pays by guess
as much money as he thinks neces-
sary and, when this is exhausted
the Conductor puts him of the train
unless he pays more. In this and
other ways the railroad companies
while complying strictly with the letter
of the law, hsrrass and annoy the pub
lie and eudeavor to make the law
odious. As might be supposed there is
q good deal OF ill-feeling between the
people and the railroad companies that
has grown up in consequence Of the
enactment and enforcement OF th ".
