The Supreme Court of the United States
yesterday denied the motion of the State OF
MARYLAND to dismiss the writ of error sued out
by the Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad Comp any
involving the claim Of the State Of Maryland
to one fifth of the gross receipts from passen-
gers on the Washington Branch road, aud
known as the ''capitation tax. From the
time of the completion of the branch road the
company had paid this one fifth Of passenger
receipts to the State, in accordance with the
requirement of the charter of 1882, until the
decision Of the United States Court in the Ne
vada case. The B.ltmore and Ohio COMPANY
then made issue with the State, aud refused
longer to collect aud pay over the one fifth of
the receipts The State sued to recover, and
on trial in the Superior Court Of Baltimore
the "capitation tax" was declared unconstitu
tional. The Court Of Appeals Of the State
subsequently reversed this decision. The rail-
road company then appealed the case to the
United States Supreme Court, when motion
was entered by the State for dismissal, on the
ground of want of Jurisdiction.

THE New YORK MEETING The indigna-
ton meeting at Cooper Institute, New York,
last night, was remarkable in point of numbers
and enthusiasm The doors were opened at
half an hour before the usual time, and al It
the hail was packed Prominent among the
gentlemen on the platform were Mr.. VIM. Gull
len Bryant and Peter Cooper. August Bel
mout called the meeting to order, aud propos-
ed Mayor Wickham for chairman, who was
elected by accIamation.
Mr.. Wickhau, or taking the chair, said =
1.-The next thing he would expect to see would
be United States troops putting out the Legis-
lature at Albany He was sure this affair of
Louisiana would show that while assassination
reigued 10 the South, indignation at the out
rage prevailed 10 the North" The chairman
read the following dispatch:
"Louisiana sends GREETINGS tonight Her peo-
pie will not be goaded into cophct with United
States troops The committee is preparing
evidence to refute the slauders OF Sheridan
We rely Oh the moral support of our sister
States to restore to Us, as American treemen,
our right of selt-goverument' Immense APP
p!ause.
The dispatch was sigued by John McEuery,
Governor, and others.
The following preamble and resolutions were
adopted amid the widest uproar ofenthusiasm,
and by perfect storm of ayes:
Whereas, 1t is fundamental principle Of
parliamentary law underlying all our National
and State CONSTITUTIONS that Legislature is the
sole judge Of the qualifications of It's members,
and that even judicial interference is not toler
ated with that high and all important privii-
ege and,
Whereas, There is Dotbing in the laws of
the Uulteu States nor IN the constitution and
laws of the State Of Louisiana, which 10 the
least excerpts the legislative body of that State
from the operation vi this ancient, natural and
undoubted principle of government; aud,
Whereas, Caution aud foresight 10 the ex-
ercise OF Federal interference with the concerns
of the States lately 10 rebellion are made doub
" desirable at this moment, BY the fact that
nearly half the voters OF that region are per-
SONS only now receiving their first lessons 10
politics, and VINO as yet possess no familiarity
with the dangers to which constitutional gov
ernm eut is exposed, with the means by which

lions ia the F.rsr Branch Dr. Z. ". Chaucel-

ties OF his country as sacred Thing. he had
been taken by surprise by the presentation OF

aud entire concurrence 10 the sentiments OK
pressed by 'hem. He had thong ut OF present

A SoUELCHER.- the Senate, yesterday,
while resolution calling for information il
reference to the Couchatta, La, disorders was
under consideration, MIR. West, senator from
the once sovereign State Of Louisiana becom,
ing excited in the advocacy of bis now lost
cause" and over anxious to exhibit his sub
servency to ''the powers that b" so far for
got himself, as to ask of Mr.. Thurman a very
impairment, not to say ungeDtlemarly, ques-
ton, but as old Col. David Waddell would
have said, be soon learned that it was id
imprudent remark" as will be seen
Mr. West said here 10 the city Of Washing
ton yesterday direct proposition bad been
made for the assassination of the President.
He then sent to the desk to be read an article
from the Washington Capital Of yesterday
don Piatt's paper,) commenting on the state
ment that ambiguous threats OF assasslnating
the President and General Sheridan had
been made, and saying that the meu sitting safe
lin their arm chairs nstgating civil war might
find il necessary to protect their own worth
less lives in Washington. Mr.. West also had
read communication 10 the New York Irlb-
une, sigued u. H. H., concluding with the
Information that if the President intends TO
play Caesar he may find his Brutus. Mr. West
then said there was an atmosphere OF assasslna-
ton not only in Washington, but in the great
metropolis of the country, and ne asked II any
Senator would approve OF 1t.
Mr.. Thurman said he always laughed when
Bombastes Furioso was stamping around. AS
to Don Piatt's paper be suppose Don Platt
could take care of himself next Sunday. tie
said it was an impcrtnence aud an insult to
ask any Senator 90 this floor whether he APP,
proved of assassination The American peo.
pie we're not people who approved of assas
sination, and this attempt to get up here cry
that assassination was iu the air was the ARREST
bubble that ever found Judgment in al empty
head. Great laughter.
The Vice President stated to the galleries
that they must preserve order or the rues OF
the Senate would be enforced.
