How IT STRIKES THEM.- Some
doubts have been expressed over the
probable course intendedto be pursued
by the Scandinavians towards the Re-
publican party in the present political
crisis, but last week the ,Shandtnaven
of Chicago, the most influential Nor
wegian paper of the country, placed
the matter beyond all doubt by heart;-
~ endorsing the Illinois Republican
platform, and asking from its readers
an earnest support Of the Republican
nominees.

To THE PoINT.-Some time since
question arose between the West Wis
eensin Railroad Company and the
Board Of Supervisors of Trempeleau
County. The railroad company de.
manded the cancellation of certain tax
certificates on the ground that the land
taxed had been exempt from taxation
originally, and that the Legislature Of
the state had no power to repeal the
exemption, the Federal Constitution
forbidding legislation to impair the
validity Of contracts. The case was
brought before our Supreme Court and
the Court held that under the Consti-
tuition of Wisconsin "all general laws
under which corpo1 atioas without bank
ing privileges nay have been created
may be altered or repealed at any time
by the Leg islature of the State" To
the plea that the owners of railroad
stocks and bonds relied upon the Con-
stitution Of the United States to pro-
tect them against inyalidating legisla-
ton, the Court replied by this citation
from the opinion of the Supreme Court
Of the United States in an analogous
case:
Original corporators or subsequent
stockholders or bondholders took their
interests with the knowledge of the
existence of this reserved right and the
possibility Of its exercise at any time
in the discretion of the legislature. A
repeal Of the act of incorporation would
likewise affect the value Of bonds and
of the security, but this consideration
could have no weight in determining
the question whether the Legislature
might not revoke or change its own
grant Of corporate right.
This decision is regarded as clear
Indication that the Court will hold con-
stitutional the Railroad bill of the last
legislature regulating freight and pas
ssnger tariffs.

been any tincture of Bourbonism in Mr. Cox s
democracy and he was one OF the earliest
members Of the party to accept the political
results OF the war. The Southern DEM
ocrats would prefer a candidate who has
made more aggressive defence of
their section, and the members from
the South will have great influence in the
democratic caucus. No man can be elected
Speaker against their united opposition, and
they are more likely to unite on some other
member than on Mr.. Cox.
Fernando Wood is the last name on the list,
and he is likely to excite more positive feel
lngs both Of favor and repugnance than any
Of the others. There are grave objections to
him in his own party. and they will be urged
with heat and acrimony in the earlier stages
of the canvass. He was o salary -erabber in
1873, and has political record as Mayor Of
New York which is pretty certain to be dug
up against him. But if these things could be
obliterated Mr.. Wood would be admitted to
have Us high qualifications for the Speakership
as any democratic member of the new House.
He has dignity Of department, thorough
acquaintance with parliamentary rules, great
frmness, imperturbable self-possession and
the wealth and manners for supporting the
social requirements of the place. If he can
get the vote Of the Southern members it
will be difficult for his Northern opponents to
beat him, Objectionable as they deem him
in many respects. His position in 1861
will not hurt but strengthen him with the
Southern democrats, and the back-pay
argument is sword with o double
edge. Mr.. Carpenter, the republican
presiding officer Of the Senate, not
only voted for and pocketed the back
pay, but publicly defended it in elaborate
speeches on the stump. This would estop the
republicans from making any party capital
out Of MIR. Woods election to o similar posi-
ton in the other House, and it will be alleged
by his supporters that the complimentary vote
given him tor the Speakership Of the present
Congress did not damage the party at all, as is
proved by its great victories this year. His
supporters will contend that there is less haz-
ard in making him the Speaker OF the next
House than there was in making him the dem
ocratic candidate for that Office in the last.
The main argument urged in his behalf by
his Northern supporters will be founded on
an idea that has already been promi-
nently put forth by the democratic organs
namely, that the chief business of the next
House will be to probe and investigate the
public departments and drag forth hidden
abuses. It will be said by Mr.. Woods ad-
vocates that he is peculiarly fitted for pre-
siding over House of which this is to be the
main business He is SO thoroughly familiar
with the public men of the country and the
methods of public business that he would
seem to be especially fitted to appoint impor-
tant committees, and raise the investigation
from partisan level to the dignity of an i'm
partial reform Of the government

A Scene I'm tho Retoh.,.~.

Win steadily increasing swiftness Germany
Is approaching period of internal conflict
the logical result of Bismarck's policy. The
bitter feeling which exists in Alsace and Lor-
raine and in Bavaria was expressed yesterday
III the Reichstag. and eliminated in debate
which reminds us of the most exciting scenes
IN the American Congress. So many startling
events have not often been crowded
into single session Of the Reichstag. The
announcement of Prince Bismarck that the
legation to the Vatican would be withdrawn,
the declaration of the Deputies from Alsacs
and Lorraine that they could no longer serve
on the committee on the budget for those com
9uered provinces, the denunciation of Bis.
marck by Herr Joerg. and ths remarkable
speech the Prince made in reply. show how
deeply the lines of division are to be drawn.
1t is struggle for supremacy, and Bismarck
finds the opposition stronger and more united
than he expected. He defended himself YES.
terday with an energy and boldness re-.
markable even in him. While he did
not say that the Church party ap-
proved Of Kullmann's attempt to assas-
sinate him he declared that Kullmann was
inspired by his devotion to that party. he
put the Church under the patronage Of .
murderer. "He hangs on tightly to your
coattails." he said to Herr Joerg. It is no
wonder that such taunts were followed by
tumult in the Assembly, and it is certain that
the proceedings yesterday will increase the
hostility to Bismarck throughout the Empire.
