Any we'll constituted man NAV
rejoice that he is neither king nor a
prince, nor in anyway heir to- king
dom or principality. We find, right
on the heels Of his honeymoon, the
Duke of Edingpurg, often. called
Prince Alfred, tie prospective cause
Of some indefinite diplomatic trouble,
and who, for all anybody Knows, may
plunge Europe into o general war.
The people of SAKE Coburg Gotha are
at present ruled by Prince Ernst, the
brother of Prince Albert, the late
consort of the Queen Of England and
father of Prince Alfred. Through
some hocus pocus, which other peo-
pie probably understand great deal
better than we do, it happens that
the second SON Of Prince Albert,
rather than the Prince of Wales, his
first son, inherits the principally Of
his childless brother, Prince Ernst,
But the press OF Berlin, which doubt
less reflects the general sentiment OF
the German empire, insinuate very
strongly that il will never 90 to have
so much of an Englishman as Prince
Alfred rule over German province,
and hence that he may as well give
up all hopes of it. It is hardly likely
that England Of herself would go to
war with Germany for the sake of
giving Prince Alfred his hereditary
right, but as the Prince is son-in-
law to the Gar of Russia, what
might the Car have to say about il? ?
We can only ,regard this, threatening
attitude of the Gormrn government as
little mean. The German provinces
have given England its rulers for
years. Why should they not accept
one from England. The present rea-
son, probably, is the systematic
Prussian. scheme OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
SAKE Coburg Gotha~is a small, but a
tempting. plum, and Bismarck wants
it. There is considerable speck Of
trouble here which, our readers are
at liberty to speculate upon.-MiI

THE INJUNCTION CASE-THE POT
TER LAW SUSTAINED

The United State Circuit Count has
sustained the Potter Law and refused the
INDUCTION applied for by the DON -holders
OF the Chicago and Northw estern Rail
road company to restrain the commissions
ers and Attorney General from enforcing
the law. The case came before Justice:
Davis, Drummond, Hopkins The opinion
was rendered by Judge Drummond
and is clear and explicit as far as it goes
1t is clear that the State has the right to
alter or repeal the law, and to regulate
commerce within the State. It is equally
clear that Congress Las the power to
regulate commerce between the several
states, which includes commerce passing
the State. It is NOT quite clear however
whether the State has the right to regul-
ate commerce b. establishing the rate for
fare and freight on persons and property
startling within and terminating without,
or starting without and terminating with
in Wisconsin,. And rs this was scarcely
argued by the counsel the Court did net
decide upon it.
THE SUGGESTION BY JUDGE DAVIS,
when Judge Drummond had concluded
the 1eliVery of the opinion, concerning
this litigation, that it would be better
during its progress to have prosecutions
suspended, would have been yery
appropriate If it had been addressed to
the right party Addressed to the
Attorneys of the railway company, its
bordholders and stockholders, it might
have induced the railroad company tc
obey the law and so stop prosecutions tor
over charges Addressed to the Com.
missioners and Attorney General of the
State it is asking them to submit to
qualification of the law of the State. It
is so unreasonable that Justice IF the
Supreme Court Of the United States
should suggest, at the close OF decision
of the Circuit Court of the United States
IN which he himself had joined, sustain
ing the law, to submit to publication of
the law, that we could hope there was
some mistake about it. On the other
bandit would be SO easy to prevent there
being new prosecutions by the railroad
company submitting to the railroad law
and the suggestion would be so appropri-
ate that it would seem the suggestion
must have been wrongly by reported as to
the attorneys to which it was addressed.
There is great difference between
suggestion of obedience to law, and
suggestion of submission to notification
Of law. The one would be very appropri
ate: the other, very inappropriate. Ons
would be just: the other unjust. .a.a.r.

COGGIA'S COMET.

Last evening the shy was cea7, and a
good oppoftun ty was Afforded Of observ-
ing Coggia's comet, which fornaed the
subject of n article in. a previous num-
Der Of the Times. From the description
given ofits relative position IN the north
WESTERN sky to the G1eat Bear and the
NoTtt.<Poar Star, very, little difficulty
was experienced in discovering it, though
the tain is by no means so conspicuous
as some astronUmers@have estimated. The
nucleus Of the comet was we'll defined and
easily dis;ipgulshe<2efr from, the neighbor-
ing stars, but the tail was &c Sam as to be
