UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL
LAWS

Commenting on the action of Judge
Ballard, at Memphis, in quashing the
indictments against the Gibson county
"Ku-Klux," on the ground Of want of
Jurisdiction, the Baltimore Sun says:
AS regards the statute itself, Judge
Ballard pronounced certain language
which it employs as an attempt by
"loose and vague language to confer
jurisdiction which could not be confer
red in direct terms" He showed that
where there is no denial to any class Of
citizens in State of 'the equal no
lection Of the laws" or, In other
words, where there is no respect Of
persons before the law, thcre is no color
of justification in the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution for in
reference by Congressional legisla-
ton, and that such legislation must
needs be imperative and void The
late decision Of Judge Hughes, of the
Eastern District of Virginia, in the
Petersburg election cases, is also in ac-
cordance With the views of Mr.. Justice
Bradley and of Judge Ballard. Basing
his opinion upon the decision of the
Supreme Court in the New Orleans
slaughter-house cases, Judge Hughes
holds that the Federal courts are iusti-
fed in refusing to take cognizance of
offenses committed in violation of those
rights which belong to citizens only as
citizens of particular States, and are
derived from State laws, and therefore
under the ;protection of State trl-
bunals, and in confning their jurisdic-
ton to cases which involve those rights
which belong to persons peculiarly IN
their character of citizens OF the United
States. The concurrence of these able
United States judges upon such i'm
portant points is of happy omen as to
the country being ultimately rid of one
Of the most eyil-workings of Radical
reconstruction There is nothing but
encroachment upon salutary State pre-
negatives In the enforcement laws, and
if the general Government will take its
hands off they viii be shown to be I'M
necessary. The country has now for
some years painfully suffered in tins
perversiOn of its powers IN the South,
under the color of Congressional law as
administered by ignorant and partisan
officials AT last, however. there IS a
turn in "the dreary" business, and
judicial light and learning will come to
the rescue IN the utterances and con-
structions of men worthy to administer
law. Let us thank God that the cloud
is at last lifting.

THE bill introduced in Congress last
Monday by Mr.. Smith, of North Car
DINA, for the relief of the Southern
States by compromise Of their debts,
provides that the money collected from
the Southern people as a tax on their
cotton pro iucts, shall be appropriated
to pay the debts of the Southern States.
The Secretary Of the Treasury and the
Attorney General are directed to con-
fer with the creditors, and agree upon
a compromise. The money paid as
cotton tax by the people of a State is
to be devoted to the payment of the
debts Of such State. If the amount is
insufficient to pay the whole, it is to be
applied to debts of oldest date as far
as 1t viii 60. Where there is a surplus
1t shall be paid over to the State for
free school purposes. Perhaps this
would, after all is said, prove the best
way to distribute tie cotton tax, if II
should ever be recovered. It would
certainly be the cheapest way. avoiding
all costs of courts or arbitrators to de-
eide between contesting claims and III
terests.

THE poCrRrSE OF INsrRUCp,oNs

With its large Democratic majority,
the next House viii PROFESSIONALLY be
a reflex of the public opinion of the
country. On the other hand, the Rad
ical Senators holding over, are likely to
place the upper House in antagonism
to the public viii. 1t is no Democratic
organ, but Wilkes Spirit of the Times,
whilom Radical and now independent,
we suppose, which suggests an appeal
to the old Democratic doctrine Of in
structions as a means for making the
Senate wheel into the line of national
progress. That body is supposed
to represent the States, as such,
and Wilkes proposes that "the Legis-
latures of helately Democratized States
shall carry out the spirit of the Consti-
tuition, by instructing their Senators
to vote In accordance with the majority
in the House; the right Of Legislatures
to instruct Senators has always been
admitted and frequently exercised, and
it has never been resisted. except when
made at periods of temporary excite
ment." His argument proceeds as fol-
lows: Instructions backed by such
overwhelming force of public opinion
as the figures of the late election en-
body, few Senators would presume
to disobey; and the Democratic party
in New York, Ohio, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, and other
States, is morally and politically au-
thorized to issue them. Any four
of these States, to say nothing Of such
Southern States as Alabama, North
Carolina, Arkansas and Louisiana,
could, by this constitutional method,
destroy the present majority of seven
votes in the Senate. We know of no
other way by which the Democracy can
secure the full benefits of the late cleo
tions for the country, than by enforc-
ing 'the doctrine OF instruction." In
the name and by the authority of the
people. The people have acted directly
for themselves In changing the charac-
ter of the House; the Legislators alone
can act for them in respect to the SEN
ate. Let us see if the Democracy,

and courage to rise to the height of this

fed on Administration pap, is not yet
thoroughly reconstructed. 1t declares
that the Republican majority sin the
House Of Representatives, "made three
serious mistakes on Monday" which
should be promptly corrected" These
were:
1. The refusal to pass the bill for the
repeal of the Poland gag-law of the last
session.
2 The refusal to pass the Holman
resolution declaring that the financial
condition of the country did not war
rent the voting of subsidies of money
or bonds TO private spectators or to
any individual or corporation.

DANIEL G. MUM, Supervisor of In
ternal Revenue for Illinois, has discov-
cred that nearly all the railroads in
that State owe the Government large
sums on account of the five per cent.
tax on surplus earnings. We learn
from a special to the Chicago Tribune
that he is now in Washington to sub
NIT the cause to the Revenue Bureau.
1t will pan out several millions for the
Federal Treasury, unless Attorney
General Williams should intervene
with one of his peculiar Opinions, ("
for which the railroads could afford to
pay a pretty steep price. The law is
plain enough, levying five per cent. on
surplus earnings" But these roads
have been in the habit of deyoting
some of their surplus earnings to the
making of improvements, and the por-
ton thus applied they never report for
taxation. In this way, the Chicago
and Northwestern alone is 800, 600 be-
hind, while the Chicago, Alton and St.
Louis owes S203,645, and other roads
in proportion.

PACIFIC MAIL IN THE CONGREs
SIGNAL MARKET

Although Bichard B. Twins testi-
mony before the Committee of Ways
and Means, in the Pacific Mail investi-
CATION, has not yet been made public,
he has conversed freely with his friends
on the subject, thus affording some
idea of the startling developments that
may be anticipated. He says that,
after be had made all the arrangements
In Washington for passing the Subsidy
bill, he strongly urged Stockwell, who
was then President of the company, to
recede from the arrangement, not be-
leving that the subsidy would be worth
the price to be paid for it, because it
involving runninga semi.monthly line,
which would be a losing business half the
year. Stockgell insisted, however,
that the matter should be put through.
The checks were drawn and given to
Irwin, but so 10th was the latter to
proceed that he begged Stockwell to
think it over for two days. At the end
of that time he gave him two days
more, allowing the money to remain
foar days in bank 80 that Stockwell
might cancel the checks if he could be
persuaded to drop the matter. He re-
manned firm, however, and Irwin pro-
ceeded with the business. A portion
of the money went to parties who
had rendered services" and we're
entitled to compensation. Some
of it was begged by strikers who
brought lists OF members to Stockwen,
whom they pretended they had for sale.
Stockwell believed he could buy Con-
gress as he could pork by the barrel,
or wood by the cord. II member was
represented to have refused $1,000, he
was for Offering him $1,000, and if that
would not eject the object he looked
upon him as hIgh-priced fellow, who
might be worth having at $4,000, or
even more. 1t never entered his head
that there were any members who were
not for sale, and on the lists brought
him there were sometimes names of
men whom no one VINO knew them
would dare approach with bribe.
As Irwin himself never dealt with
these stockers, whom did he deal with?
Here is the rub. No doubt the COM
pany would be glad to have such direct
questions as this thrust at him at the
outset, in the belief that he will be
driven into a corner, and will refuse to
answer. In fact, he laughs at the idea
that the committee can force him to
tell anything that he does not wish to
tell. He may answer ninety-nine ques-
tions and refuse TO answer the hun
dredth, and If the committee want to
get at the facts in the case, it would be
policy for them to ask him the ninety
nine first, and not put the one he may
not choose to answer, first, and then
lock him up as a contumacious witness.
Such course would please the Pacific
Mail Company, but would not further
the professed object of the committee.
What the Company wants is to save
its subsidy, and it can only do this by
preventing the facts coming out that
they bought it and paid for it.
Twins statements leave no doubt IN
The minds Of those who heard II that
Mr. StOckwell bought, or believed he
was buying, the votes of enough men,

WHISKY IN THE COCOA-NUr

The proposition Of tire President to
increase the tax on whisky ten cents
has evoked some inquiry, which results
In developing the fact that the stock
now on hand amounts to 100000
gallons-36,OOO,OOO in private hands
and 100000 in bond-which would of
course be released before the increased
tax went into operation. The result,
therefore, would be a stoppage of all
manufacture until the stock was large
ly reduced, thus decreasing the reve-
mes the coming year instead of in
creasing them as the President pro-
fesses 20 desire. An Incidental result
would be the pocketing of over 81, OOO,-
900 by the lucky holders of the stock
on hand, and perhaps, after all, this is
