THE Supreme Court of the State of Indiana
has decided that the Legislature has 10 power
to tax the stock of foreign corporations held in
the State. The exact merits Of the case in
point are rather obscure, but the suit seems to
have been one to which the Western Union Tele.
graph Company was party, and it is to be
presumed that the decision was favorable to
that impeeunious yet philanthropic institution,
which is vainly striving to divide one hundred
per cent. per annum upon its actual cost.

THE late President Lincoln had little patience
with those martinets who insisted that the
ability to pass a stilted and technical examina-
ton before a military board was a necessary
qualification in an officer to lead cOlored troops
to the lannon's mouth. He knew that while
"cheek' might successfully charge and cap
ture the aboard" only pluck and practical
experience combined could wrest batteries
from the enemy. This was his quaint, charac
teristic Way of putting il:

The falling off in the immigration returns
seems to be giving some Of our contemporaries
a great deal of trouble. Some attempt to ac-
count for it in one way and some ID another.
The reason for it is very plain. Our great rail
way lines, and notably the Northern Pacific,
were largely interested in inducing immigra-
ton and afiording the facilities of transit for
it. The commercial revulsiOn Of last year sus-
pended the operations OF these active agents.
They could no longer promise transportation
and labor for the immigrant OF the usual facil.
tiles for their settlement upon farms. This in
telligence spread over Europe as rapidly as
that of our commercial revulsiol The return
tide of emigration from our shores to Europe
is scarcely greater than in fOrmeryears. The
talk of skilled labor seeking employment in
Europe is mostly ''bosh." Some few of the
more prudent of this class who had accumu-
lated savings to warrant it have doubtless
awaited themselves Of the stagnation ia bust
ness to revisit their native places. The mo-
ment our Government shall determine tobegin
our much needed public works, the tide OHM
migration will again set in this direction.

ONE of the most potent influences which
operates upon the New York press in favor of
railways as against water routes Of transporta-
ton may be found in the fact that the former
furnish stocks in which to gamble, while the
latter, being constructed by the State, are bar
rem of these temptations to evil. 1t would be
interesting to know how much of the watered
railway and telegraph stocks now embarrass-
ing the country have been used directly and
indirectly for manipulating the press to assist
in placing the bonds and "bulling' or ''bear-
ing stocks to suit the finances of the large
operators. 1t is we'll known that the railway
kings depend more upon the fluctuations of the
stock markets for their individual profits than
upon the net earnings Of their roads. And it
is idle to suppose that they can command the
influence of the press in quitting up their
CORNERS" without making contributions Of
some kind to the attaches as quid pro quo.
Water routes possess none Of the advantages
for this sort of manipulation through their
managers which are used with such consum-
mate tact by the railway and telegraph kings.
They have no lobbying or "stock- jobbing''
funds to distribute among the favored and
pampered menials of a venal press. These
facts are now operating the trade Of New York.

Railroad Lands Reverting to the
Public Domain.

The attorney general in an opinion,
recently rendered, decided that the
General Land Office must construe the
law relating to the forfeiture of land
grants to railroads by the plain intent
of congress, and not by the common
law, as heretofore has been the ruling.
Under the terms of the several grants
tel years is given in which to
construct the roads. If this require
ment is not met the land reverts to the
public domain. In most cases the
words of the grant are not mandatory
as to the land officers. The ruling OF
the several commissioners has been
uniformly TO the effect that congress
must legislate in each case, and by dis
tinct enactment return the land to the
people. Under the most recent ruling
the law will be fulfilled without re-
manding the matter back to the legis-
lative arena, there to be the subject of
discussion and bargain. The follow
ing railroads and grants are affected
by this opinion: Jacksonville, Pensa-
cola y Mobile, l60 miles, uncompleted
100000 acres reverted. Pensacola q
Louisville, 43 miles, 165, 600 acres; Al.

TO wAPELLO co. REPUBLICANS.
Wenotice that our republican friends
of Highland township have call for
their township convention to nominate
township officers to come off at an
early date. This is right and ought
to be at once followed by like move
on the part of the republicans in every
township in the county. At such
meetings let there be strong ticket
nominated OF active republicans and
able, honest men. What is needed is
organized action in each township and
in their township conventions lie the
place to effect such organizations. If
there be no township central commit
tee in any township, let the member of
the county central committee for such
township call a convention. Our col.
umns arc open for the purpose of
making these calls for conventions. In
order that the members Of the county
republican central committee may be
known to all We publish the names as
follows:
DR.. J. Williamson, Chairman, and
DIR. J. c. Hinsey, of Centre township
S. M. Brown, Agency township; Da.
yid Jay, Adams r.. w. Boyd, Colum
bia; G. w. Dickens, COMPETING; J.W.
Dickson, Cass; VIM. Giltner, Dahlon-
ega; d. II. Michael, Green; E. Rich.
man, Highland; j. b. Carman, Pleas.
ant !; Jacob Siberell, Polk; j. w. Nc.
Glasson, Richland and Thos. Foster
Washington.
1t is proper that we should look te
this committee through its members
to properly organize the party in theil
respective townships. 1t might be wei
for the Chairman to call this commit.
tee together at this city for consulta
ton. It our view it is desirable to d.
rect attention to the fact that we are
in about forty days from this time to
have an important election and urge
upon republicans their duty 10 see that
republicans are at the polls, that they
let not personal matters, save such as
are insurmountablc, keep any one of
them from depositing his ballot on the
second Tuesday OF next October. Elcc-
ton day is not one of frolic for repub.
licans they are an industrious people
and often too sanguine that all will be
right, and for some trivial excuse per-
tanning to their own private business
they don't attend to this most impor-
tant duty of freemen, viz: voting for
the men of their choice. Republicans,
never in the history of the party, had
better ticket, composed of better
men, from the State ticket down than
they now have. The republican ma
jority ought not fall below 10000 in
the State. We confidently believe it
will not fall below those figures.
Wapello county has stood we'll by
the republican flag. Even last fall it
suffered but little from the mixed up
condition of affairs. We confidently
rely upon splendid victory this fall
and that Wapcllo county win stand on
the record fully up to anything che
has ever done.

In Congress and In many of the State

MARKETS.
Chicago Live stock and Wool
Market

CATTLE.-The receipts of cattle were
liberal, particularly of Texan steers; good
to extra native steers were in better supply,
and under good inquiry the market ruled
active and hrm for the best grades. TIE
best sale was lot of 10 head, averaging
l.a22 pounds, sold by w. r. Keenan, to
Colwell, at $685.. A lot of northern.
wintered Texan steers sold at $3.50, being
the first installment Of 1000 head fed BY
G. 5. Brown, Sangamon county, and sold
to Morris, Waixel & Go. City butchers
took hold to moderate extent of Texan
steers and native cows at $2.50a$3.50 Veal
calves were in request at So 25a8.60 for
fair to choice qualities. There was rather
more inquiry for stock steers, but owing to
the large supply in the pens prices were
weak and unsettled at $2.26aS.5O for light
to good lots. The market closed tolerably
steady for the upper qualities. The fresh
receipts were 8, 400 head. Sales 472 head
at the above average of prices.
HOGS-The market price for hogs was
less active than on yesterday, and prices
ruled weak and shade higher for fair to
good grades. The demand was principally
on Boston and Cleveland account, with
only limited inquiry by New York buy
ers. Prices ranged from S. S5ae for COM
mon SC 45a6 80 for fair to good, and
from STAT 45 for choice. There were no
assorted lots sold. Philadelphia buyers
were holding off owing to unfavorable re-
ports from that place. At the close the
market was dull and weak.
WOOL-Continues firm underlight stock
and fair order demand from Western
manufacturers. Eastern buyers are out of
the market. We repeat:

The name Democracy has the same
effect upon the Chicago Times that wa
ter does upon rabid dog. The Times
man, who SO long Rugged the rotten
old carcass Of democracy all through
and for years after the rebellion, has
now racked his ingenuity TO invent
hard names enough to call the demo-
cratic party, in order to properly sa-
tiatc his hate for it. Beyond question
the Times course is one of policy and
not principle. The Times man believes
that the name Democracy is curse to
any party; that while it is retained
success cannot be attained against the
republican party-hence his rabbidness
against the name and his efforts to
newly christen the party. So far as
principles are concerned we see little
or no change in the Times. 1t is the
Ku Klux defender it always was.
When band of ruffians from Mis-.
souri, made their way into Iowa and
attacked train on the Rock Island
Railroad, it placardcd the event thus
ly: "At last an authenticated Ku Klux
case has occurred, yet not in a southern
State, but in Iowa."
Now, while southern rebels are COM
hitting outrages of the most tiendish
character upon the colored race in the
south and upon white teachers who
arc seeking to educate the blacks, the
Times cannot find single authentica.
ted Ku klux case to plscard. Indeed
we do not know of single principle the
Times now holds which lie not in con-
sonance with its sentiments, when it
was the most notorious rebel sympa.
thizing sheet published in the north,
the one aboye all others which rebels
first asked for, when they had an op.
portunity to get northern papers dur
ing the rebellion. The Times policy is
that of many rogue who has carried
name until his acts have made it
odious, and so adopts an alias to
hide shame. We now have all over
the country democracy, alias anti-mo.
