ANIMrORTANT DECISION.

The following notice of decision
by the Supreme Court of the United
States, is of vastimportance and settles
the law in favor of the power of a
State to tax all railroads built wholly
within its limits orr part of which only
passes through it. Texas is deeply in
terestedin the question. The synopsis
says:
On the 18th inst. the United States
Supreme Court decided the case of the
Union Pacific railroad against Pen
niston, Treasurer of Lincoln county,
Nebraska, on appeal from the Circuit
Court of that State. Judge Strong de-
livered the opinion of the court, hold
lug that the taxing power OF the state
is an attribute to sovereignty; that 1t
exists independent of the constitution
of the United States and is not derived
from that instrument, and that it may
be exercised to an unlimited extent on
all property, trades and business, and
yocations, existing or carried Oh within
the boundaries of the State, except so
far as it has been surrendered to the
HeuGTal SONeTuIllcIlt, clUfrci cAp iS'oiy
or by necessary implication. The court
therefore sustains the right of the
State to tax the property of the Union
Pacific railroad within the boundaries
of said State.
Judge Bradley read dissenting opin-
ion, holding that the tax was an un-
lawful interference with instrumental
tiles created by the National Govern.
ment in carrying out the objects and
powers conferred on it by the Consti-
tuition. If the road may be taxed, it
may be seized and sold for non-pay-
ment of taxes in parts and parcels, and
thus the whole purpose of Congress, in
creating the corporation and establish
ing the line, may be subverted and de-
stroyed.
Judge Field concurred in the opinion
of Judge Bradley.
Judge Hunt dissented from the opin-
ion of the court.
Judge Swayne gave his views in his
own way, but concurred in the conclu-
sion reached by the majority Of the
court.

A Glorious Opportunity Lost-The
Nofe for the SALARY Grabbcr.
[From the Clnclnnatl Enquirer.l

From tue Cincinnati EnqulrerI
The Democratic members of the
House blundered to begin with. We
saw "blundered'i out of charity, which
''suflereth long, and is kind" 1t would
be more correct to say that the Demo-
cratic caucus, and the gentlemen who
followed its bidding, outrageously and
disgracefully violated the pledges of
the party, ignored the wishes OF the
great body of men they profess to rep
resent, and offended the better instincts
of the honest friends of Democracy.
1t would have been becoming in the
Democratic members of the House, If
they meant to be representative, to
give the public mind some reason for
the faith that was in it, in the earliest
opportunity lent them in the Forty
third Congress. But seventy-seven
members of the House voted for Fer
nando Wood for the Speakership of
the House. This vote has special sig-
nificance.
Fernando Wood as much as anyman
is responsible for the system and ten
dency i'm the Government of New
York which robbed the city of millions
and sent Tweed to Blackwell's Island.
He is tainted with the salary-grab
odium. The vote for him was more sig
nificant than it would have been had
there been hope of his election.
There was no question of political eX-
pediency to warp the better judgment
OF members.
The Dallas weekly herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1885, 1874-01-03

We are deeply panied to learn,
through the Galveston News, that the
Honorable Benjamin G. Franklin,
Senator elect, died at his residence in
that city, on Christmas day, aged
sixty-eight years.
Judge Franklin came from his
native State, Georgia, in 1876. He
was soldier in 1866, and fought at
San Jacinto. He was the first District
Judge under the Republic of Texas,
appointed by Judge Burnet immedi-
atcly after the organization of the
government, and held court, both for
ordinary and admiralty purposes, be-
fore the first Congress met in October,
1886.
He has lived in Galveston since its
foundation--has always, when off the
bench, had large practice-has often
been Representative in the Legisla-
tur ;, and had just been elected to the
State Senate. We have known him
long and well. He was never politi-
cal aspirant. He was the personiiica-
ton of honor. He was kind and
benevolent. He was a devoted friend
and a considarate opponent. In all
thsngs, he was an honest man.

THE LEGIsLATURE.

But five members of the last senate
have been reelected to the new, Messrs'
Flanagan, of Rusk, and Randle, OF
Walker, Radicals, and Messrs billiard,
of Cherokee, and Boil, of Parker, and
Swift, of Nacogdeches, Democrats. But
Messrs Wood, of Leon, Trollinger, OF
Grayson, Ireland, of Guadalupe, and
Westfall, of Williamson, Democrats,
and all members of the last House, are
now elected to the Senate. The only
one of the former Senators who ran
this time and was defeated, so far as
we have seen, was Mr.. Tracey, OF
Houston. The Senate stands Demo-
Gratis %, Radicals 5.
The House will probably stand about
rs Democrats to Is Radicals, but we
have not sufficient returns to state
precisely.

Artificial BIushcs.

According to the Kolnische Zeitung,
the armory Of feminine weapons has
been Increased by the invention of
Artificial bushes. Signs, glances and
gestures have always been completely
under the control of the least accom-
plished practitioner in the art of
advantageously expressing the emo
ti0ns. Even tears do not altogether
refuse to be simulated. Shakespeare
tells us that hard-natured "villiany is
not without such rheum," the "cun-
ming waters Of the eyes" are proverbial
as the last resource Of the sex, which
is by nature to emotional to be even
accused of hypocricy. Bushes have,
however, hitherto been beyond the
reach of the art. The debutante at
her first ball knowsit painfully enoagh,
when she finds it impossible to repress
them, and the faded beauty ofa certain
age knows 1t too, when she fails to give
the fit reception to the compliment
inspired prehaps more by memory Of
the past than the impression Of the mo-
ment. The great invention which, we
are told, is due to an American, and
has been imported into Germany, con-
ceals ITSELF in the hat of her who a.
dopts it, and we suppose it may easily
be adapted to the chignon, Let us hope
that in England it will meet with no
favor, and that, in the general scepti-
cism which attaches to all things, we
may at least cling to the hope that
bushes are genuine because involunta-
ry. We suppose the new blush-produ-
Ger processes to repress as well as
create bushes, but do not let English
ladies take to mechanical means Of
their emotions, on the
doubtful plea that it is necessary not
to produce but to hide their bushes.

GOVERNOR COKE.

BY oversight we failed till yesterday
to read the brief speech made by Gov
ernor Coke, on his arrival at home after
the election. Waco was brilliantly IL
Illuminated and a great crowd assem-
bled to welcome him home.
The speech, coming from victori-
GUS candidate, in the first excitement
attending so great a success, stamps
Mr.. Coke as one of Natures noblemen.
His sentiments are worthy of exalted
patriotism and true craftsmanship.
He is both too noble and too wise to
trample upon the defeated party. He
renews his pledges to be Governor OF
all the people, without distinction OF
creed or color, and to do even-handed
Justice. He asserts that the Democrat
ic party will, in good faith, carry out
its beneficent platform, will reduce
taxes, build up free schools, protect all
alike, and faithfully administer the
laws through honest officials.

Bank Of America.

In the present distressed condition or
the country, resulting from the scarcity
of money, the subject Of finance Is one
of the greatest Importance tothewhole
community because it forces Itself into
prominence whether one wishes To pur-
chase largely in real estate or whether
he wishes to buy toy, rs q Christmas
gift for the baby. Various are the
measures proposed in cabinet meetings,
in Congress and in counting rooms.
For ourself we regard the return tospe'
Gle payments now rs myth, an ignis
fatuus which disordered minds are fol-
lowing into all manner of perpieXlng
financial theories.
Instead of contraction we want an
almost unlimited eSpansion-anything
rather than this haPrassng struggle for
money. We are willing to accept the
chances of future bankruptcy to-sccuro
present relief. Although as an old
time Democrat we are. in the abstract,
opposed to banks, circumstances most
emphatically alter eases, and now our
Cry is for money-g0ld is preferred, OF
course, but it is not in sufficient guam
titp to answer our enlarged ideas. In
fact, Confederate money answered our
purposes very well because its great
merit was--abundnnce.
With theseviews we regard with favor
the proposed establishment of the
Bank Of America. The suggestion is
made that Congress establish national
bank, onc-fourth of whose capital sub
scribed by private individuals, is to be
paid in gold, and the remaining three
fourths in legal tenders, until the
entire capital is paid up. The amount
of this capital is set down at six hun
dred million of notes redeemable in
gold, retiring two hundred and twenty
five millions in legal tenders. 1t is
proposed that this bank shall have
branches at each important CONNER
cial center throughout the country, the
whole to be owned and controlled by
stockholders, reserving the right of in
spection of its affairs to the comptroller
or Secretary of the Treasury. 1t is
claimed that this bank-to make room
for which the sub-Treasury should be
abolished-would give q stable and
permanent currency, based on and re-
deemable in specie of uniform value
throughout the Union, and with rate
of discount limited for two years to
seven, and thereafter to six per cent.
per annum.
This scheme seems as feasible as it is
eXpedient. Fancy bank issuing paper
RI 'eemable in gold at seven per cent
! annum. Why, sirs, it would not
only vitalize but revolutionize the in
dustry of the country. AS it is, while
the New England States have a pleth-
ora of currency the South has not half
enough, and this is especially felt when
the time comes to move our cotton
crop.
Yes; give us national bank, for then a
man may be able to get meney OH good
paper at something less than five or
ten per cent per month.--[ShreVeport
Times.

EMIGRATION TO THE FRONTIER
SHEEP GROWING, ETC.

We are pleased to learn by the
Weatherford papers and dprivate letters,
that the frontier counties are rapidly
filling up with industrious people. The
Signet says that from one point in
Henry county, from which, ON the lst
of September, not habitation could
be seen, forty-seven family homes can
now be counted. The county will be
soon organized. Its salt works at Gra-
ham are supplying the county with
that indispensable article, of excellent
quality, and will soon have capacity to
turn out very large quantity per day.
Other counties are also receiving large
accessions; and, now that the people
are inspired with the belief that the
fighting policy of Generals Sherman
and Sheridan will be vigorously prose-
outed against the hostile Indians, they
are working with renewed hope In
opening new homes and improving old
ones. They feel that a new era is
opening to them, after long years of
suffering. We trust their faith
may be verified; and have no doubt
of the determination OF the officers
named, together with Generals Nc
Kenzie, Hatch, and other officers
stationed Immediately on our frontier,
to do all in their power to chastise the
savages and arrest their bloody forays
upon our people. Sherman and Sheri-
dan assent to the Quaker policy to-
wards peaceable Indians on reserva-
tions, but only upon the condition of
energetic war to the knife against all
in hostility until the last tribe shall be
rendered powerless for evil. Texas
will compromise upon this policy, if
vigorously pressed to results, until life
-on the frontier shall be as safe as in
the interior.
A few words as to the country itself.
Taken as whole, it is emphatically a
good country, abounding in a large
proportion of excellent land, plenty of
timber, generally well watered, with
inexhaustable and choice building
stone, and, beyond all question, one
Of the healthiest districts on the conti-
nent. 1t has copper and coal mines
covering large areas. 1t has valuable
salt springs. 1t will produce cotton,
corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley and
tobacco profitably. 1t is fine country
for horses, mules and cattle, and large
districts Of it for hogs. But a consid-
erable of 1t, and that being those parts
unfit for agriculture, is admirably adap-
ted to sheep growing. Its latitude as
well as its altitude, it's billy character,
rich, short mesquit grass and its pure
air, all fit it for the profitable produc-
tion of sheep, both for wool and NUT
tsn. We simply refer to the fact
without a dissertation upon the
subject.
We say, now, as VIC say TO all who,
as emigrants, ask our advice, that
these are brief, but earnest, views
of the case, and those who wish to buy
land in such a country, at mere nom-
inal rates, should go there. They will

fine Gothic edifice, beautifully situ-

Dallas, 50 justly celebrated for her mer-
camille position, will doubtless send
many of her sons and daughters to this

this place because it is the most ele-
waited position between the Trinity and
Red River.
The land for many miles around Ter
rell is undulating prairie, interspersed
with woods which afford an abundance
of timber for all practical purposes. AS
to fertility, the land is ALA farmer need
desire. 1t is especially adapted to the
cereals, but cotton does remarkably
well. There is more land here sown in
wheat than usual. Already site has
been purchased on which will be con-
large Touring mill. Andthe
natural advantages of the place are
such as, in due time, to induce capital
lists to erect factories Of different kinds.
Immigrants from the old States are
pouring in, and ere long there will be a
dense population in and around the city
of Terrell. 1t is true there Is vast
quantity of land here for sale, but SO
soon as the advantages of this position
are fully known to farmers, merchants
and those seeking health, all the land
around will be purchased and perma-
nently settled.
And last. though not least, Prof. J.
w. Barrow, the erudite scholar and
polished teacher, has purchased ten
acres of land in the suburbs for a garden
and nursery. His intenti IN is to raise
seeds for market, as well as culinary

FIRST DECISION.

David Wakelee, Democrat, elected
District Clerk of Galveston, demanded
the Office of johnson Reed, Radical,
elected in 1863. Reed refused, and
Wakelec brought suit for mandamus
and possession before Judge McCor-
mick, District Judge, Republican,
and leading member of the conven-
ton which made the Constitution.
The case was argued very fully, when
Judge Mccormick delivered his
opinion at length. He decides that the
election is constitutional; that the Leg
iglature had the power to change the
election from four days to one; that
the officers elected December 2, 1853,
hold only for four years from the day
of their election, and until successors
are qualified; that Wakelee was legal
ly elected, and that Reed should at
once surrender the Office, which he
proceeded to do instanter, and Wakelee
took possession,
We told our readers, weeks ago, that
such would be the decision of the
courts.
But this decision by Judge McCor-
mick, regarded by many as the ablest
man Oh the District bench of the State,
a Republican holding office under Gov
ernor Davis, and himself one of the
makers of the Constitution, must set
tie the question in this State. The
Judge does not assume that the courts
have right to settle political questions,
except in very qualified way, and
then they must follow political rulings
as judicial tribunals. The Legislative
power to organize itself, to judge of til
election and qualification of its own
members, and to open and count the
votes for Governor, declare the result
and install the Governor elect, being
high political powers, exclusive in their
character, cannot be interferred with by
the judicial department of the govern
ment. The contrary view would be de-
structive to the fundamental American
idea of government-executive, legis-
lative and Judicial-and would convert
the judiciary into mighty engine OF
irresponsible despotism.

HON. REunExA. REEVES.

In the Tyler Democrat, of December
20, we see an able letter from this gen
tleman, formerly Judge of the
Supreme Court and long a resident OF
Texas, but recently located in Dallas.
The editors wrote Judge Reeves for his
legal opinion as to the tenure of the
old officers, calling his attention to our
editorial on the subject in The HERALD
of December, which the editors copy
and endorse.
Judge Reeves replies from Tyler,
December 8, in a clear exposition Of
the whole subject, fully sustaining the
positions we have taken from the first,
which was taken previously by the
committee of able lawyers appointed
at Corsicana last year, and recently so
fully explained and defended by
Judge Bell.
Thus we have the written opinion
of four ex-Supreme Judges-Moore,
Bell, Coke and Reeves-of ex-Attorney
General Walton, of several ex-District
Judges and other able lawyers, while
the present election law itself was
chiefly drawn by the late Gearge w.
Smith, also an ex-Supreme Judge. 1t
was examined by Governor Davis
pending its passage-after its passage
amended by supplementary bill,
drawn by this writer, to meet certain
objections held by the Governor, and
then by him approved, the original on
the last day of March and the supple
mentary on the first day of April.
Such is the array on this side of the
question-all concurring in the opinion
that the election was legally held
that all old county officers (excepting
Treasurer and Surveyor should go out
as soon as their successors are qualified
and bonded, and the Governor and
other State officers during the first
week Of the Legislature
