Mr.. JEFFERSON DAVIS, who has never
been able to open his mouth without
laundering, begins to appreciate the golden
qualities of silence. The other day
number of Democratic friends called upon
him at vicksburg to elicit from him an
expression Of his views on public affairs,
and Mr.. Davis declined to accede to their
request, saying that sin view OF his pecu-
liar situation, it could be of little benefit
to our people or the principles to which
we were all devoted. and that the occasion
might be seized by those who differed
from us to take advantage of anything he
might say for the purpose of using it to
our injury" He said further that it had
been his resolution after the war to make
no public speeches, and that on occasions
when he had deviated from The rule the re.
suit had justified the wisdom of silence.

THE BANKRUPT LAW.

One of the most important matters
which will claim the early attention OF
Congress is the question of the repeal or
amendment of the bankrupt law. The
hasty and inconsiderate repeal of the
law by the House is not likely to meet
with the concurrence Of the Senate, though
there will undoubtedly be disposition to
amend it in some important particulars.
The bankrupt law is one which con-
Germs the mercantile and trading commu-
nifty only, and to them it is of vital i'm
portance. We do not understand how
an intelligent banker, merchant, or trader
can refuse his assent to the proposition
that uniform rule throughout the coun.
try for settling the estate of insolvent
traders is benefit to commerce. In
fact we do not believe that there is any
dissent to this proposition.
Dissent and disagreement begin with
the effort to prescribe in detail the meth
DDS by which the rule is to be enforced.

The House of Representatives commit
tee on roads and canals have prepared
three important bills for presentation to
Congress next week. The chief of these
is one authorizing the appointment of COM
missioners, who are to regulate the rates
of transportation Of freight over the rail-
ways OF the country, and conline them
to just and equitable figures. 1t pro.
vides for the appointment by the Presi-
dent of nine commissioners, one for each
judicial district of the country, and for
bureau of railroad statistics to be at
tached to this board. 1t will be the
duty of the board to investigate the
great interstate lines of commerce
and determine upon the maxi
mum rates for the transportation of freight
over them The committee are fully salts
fed Of the right of Congress to regulate
railroad transportation, but they do not
believe that it is wise to undertake the
task until after thorough examination.
The law will apply to all the great through
routes of the country. The committee
will not report general law for the incor-
poration Of railroads, but will bring in a
bill for the Incorporation Of company
known as the Continental railroad COM
pany, which proposes to build line from
the Mississippi river to New York. 1t
will also report bill for opening the
mouth Of the Mississippi, under the act Of
March 3, 1878.

THE Supreme Court of the United
States has within short time past rem.
dered five decisions which are of considera-
BILE Importance as related to the question of
local taxation. The first of these decs-
ions denies the right of states to tax inn
ported goods in the original packages, on
the ground that the right to import car
ries with it an unrestricted right TO sell.
The second denies the right Of states
% tax national property, or national
credit bonds, on the ground that the
right to tax carries with it the right
to destroy. The third decides that
the port Of registry of vessel is its proper
domicile for purposes Of state taxation
the fourth denies TO states the power to
tax bills of lading and all forms of COM
mercial paper between states, as restric-
'lion on domestic commerce; and the fifth
denies extra-territorial operation to the tax
laws OF state, and under that head de-
MES the right Of state 10 tax corpora
ton on its bonds or stock, or their cou-
pons, which are held out of the common.
wealth. All thesedecisions are of gene.
eral public interest and consequence.

IT is stated that, upon the reassembllng

of Congress, a bill will be introduced pro-
viding for taxing the insurance interests of
the country, under the direction Of the
commissioner OF internal revenue. The
annual income from insurance, it is csti-
mated, is about s20O,0o0,o0o. The sue
csssful initiation of such national taxa
ton would probably lead to the establish
ment of government supervision under a
National insurance bureau, to which all
companies would be compelled to report;
the appropriate tax for each company being
made up and collected through the collec-
tors of internal revenue. 1t is understood
that the National board of fire under
writers have appointed special commit
tee to go to Washington to demonstrate
against the passage Of the bill, with such
facts as are at their command.
