LEE MERCHANTS, ,LICEN5E-TAx--JuDGg GrI
i CON TO DECIDE THE CASE on THURSDAY
The counsel, engaged In the case of the Com
monwealth against Moore & Goodsons have
finished their argument, and submitted the
case to Judge Guigou upon motion to in.
struct the jury that If they believed from
the evidence that the defendants were mer-
chants, doing general merchandise bust.
| ness, buying and selling merchandise for
profit, and having definite capital employed
| In their business the amount of which was
proyedl, they must find for the defendants.
La support of this motion counsel for defence
argued as follows:
| First. That, but for the Constitution, the
Legislature would have an unrestraned'
power of taxation; the Constitution in its
very nature was for the restraint Of Leyis-
lative power for the protection of the citi-
zens, and therefore when the Constitution is
to be construed In reference to pow er
claimed for the Legislature, its restrictive
character should not be overlooked, and the
leaning of the court where ambiguous Ian.
guage appears should be for the citizen,
especially when charge was sought TO be
fastened upon the citizen by the Legislature
under the pretence Of q Constitutional war
rant.
Second: That under the Constitution of
1852 and the Alexandria Constitution the
Legislature was expressly restrained from
imposing license tax upon merchants aud
at the same time assessing their capital; TINT
1t might resort to either mode, but not to
both; that the Convention of 1S67-'GS in
tended to deprive the Legislature of this
discretion, to take away the power Of levying
license taxes upon merchants, and to require
the assessment of their capital and merchan-
disc in lieu of the license tax. In support
Of this view they relied upon the proceed
ings Of the Convention as well ns upon the
language of the Constitution itself, contend.
ing that section 1, article 10, required all
taxation to be equal, uniform, and ad ualo-
rem, except in certain excepted cases, and
that the general merchants business was
not embraced in any Of the exceptions which
were expressly made, and that so far from
being included they were excluded by i'm
plication.
The counsel for the Commonwealth, how
ever, contend that no matter what was the
intention of the trainers of the Constitution
the effect Of the constitutional provision is to
leave it in the discretion of the Legislature
to impose upon what business it may please
q license tax that il the intention was, as is
contended by the defence, the Convention
failed to express that intention by apt words
in the Constitution; that the only guide to
the Legislature TO the intention OF the
| trainers of the Constitution is the language
| used which permits all business to be reached
| by license tax which cannot be reached by
the ad ralorem system, and that the Legis.
lature is to judge what business cannot be
| so reached.
Judge Guigon will decide the case Thurs.
| day.

BAsQuES

are very much worn in all styles, some long
and some short. Waists are cut long, with
the back very narrow, and exceedingly high
on the shoulder. A good length is about
six and a half inches. Two darts are used
in tight garments, and are usually less than
an inch apart. Garments half or three
quarters fitting, adjusted at the waist with
belt. will be much worn, being becoming
alike 10 all figures. A small waist IS 20
longer considered fashionable, basques be-
ING made SO loose as to be hardly tight-lt-
ting. Redingotes will be used, although
basaues and overskirts rather have the
preference. They should be made very
long and entirely plain no puts, only a
little looped ut the back. The double
breasted redipgote will still be.worn. over
shirts are also worn very long, and plain in
front and at the sides. The shawl over"
skirt" is great favorite. 1t is very simple
and graceful, consisting of deep-polnteo
apron front reaching nearly to the bottom OF
the skirt. The sides Of the back widths are
square, while the centre has a deep point cor
responding with the front. 1t has three
nIaits on each hip. We hear that belts will
nos be worn with tisht-ftting garments, as
they detract from the length of the waist
bnr in every case they should correspond
with the trimming of the dress.

+ Well, don't. But be honest first

estimation Of some people the man
who is strict and honest and renders

If they owe us a bill they pay it
promptly, to the last cent, and this
is right. We only wish that all the
young people of the land could be
trained up with strict notions of the
value of money, and the great inn
portance of strict business habits
and strict integrity. We intend to

Correspondence of the st. Louis Times.
A Tiny Infant,

. saw reported case of liliputian
twins, which to some might appear
remarkable; hence I am 'iuduced to
report a case met with in my private
practice, which l think is much more
wonderful, there being but one child.
| was called July 4, 1873, to see Mrs.
B., aged about 20, living some four
miles above this place, in Charlton
county. l found her in labor with
her first child. In less than an hour
after my arrival she was delivered of
a male child, perfect in form and
beautiful in symmetry. As it wa:
the smallest living child with which
l had ever met in practice of tweH-
ty-fve yea $, made memorandum
concerning it. Its actual weight was
only l pound 6 ounces /; ST inches
long /; wrist { inches in circumfer-
ence; the tieshy part of its leg was
% inces in circumference. A mod
crate sized teacup when placed on its
head rested on its shoulders, hiding
from view its head and neck entirely.
Though is breathing was free and
easy, and every function normal, it
could not cry, but mewed like a
young kitten for four or five weeks,
by which time the mother having re-
covered, l lost sight of it. NJ. D.

Why PoTAToEs Run OUr.-A
New York farmer says: ''Some one
asks why it is that potatoes run
out. There are two grand reasons.
There are but few potatoes IN hill
that are fit for seed. Some are over
grown, coarse, rank, and will not
transmit the original vitality. 9th
ers are undergrown, and not fully
developed seed, A potato of me-
dium size, perfect in all its parts,
with change of ground, will pro
duce its ike, add iufnitum. One
other reason, cutting potatoes be-
tween stem and seed end continual
" is wrong. 1t requires the stem
and seed end, to make perfect seed.
If cut, cut lengthwise. Single eyes
will run out any potato. There is
no seed that will bear mutilation
like the potato; the only wonder
is that it does not run out complete
ly.

BRILLIANT ,oUCCEss.-It is permit
ted to few men or companies to
achieve acknowledged superiority in
any important position or business.
The present generation has witness
ed stupendous rivalry in several
branches OF industry, and notably
the Sewing Machine business. Amid
a multitude of competitors, steadily
and surely the Wheeler IL Wilson
Company have held their way from
the beginning, upon fixed and honOra
BILE principles. Long since their lead
ing position in America was establih-
ed. Abroad at London in 1862, they
won the highest premiums; at Paris
in 1867, they distanced eighty-two
competitors, and were awarded the
highest premium, the only Gold
Metal for Sewing Machines exhibi-
ted; and lastly, amid unparalleled
competition, followed the splendid
triumphs at Vienna.
