4 Chinese INQUEST.

Moe Sing, who died suddenly at 2O5
South Tenth street, yesterday, was but
twenty years of age, finer looking and
of an apparently stronger physique than
the ordinary Chinaman; but excessive
exercise over the wash-tub brought on a
sudden attack Of heart disease, which
in few moments ended in death.
It was the first time in this city that
the coroner had ever been notified to
view the body of a dead Chinaman, and
when that dignitarY visited the laundry
yesterday morning he thought it advisa.
BILE to have post mortem examination
this Moe Sings late comrades held up
their hands In Chinese horror.
"No cuttee," said Mob Thing, and all
the Cinnamon protested SO vehemently
that the Coroner finally gave way tc
their prejudices. The body was removed
to the Morgue, when it was dressed in
the best suit of the deceased, and the
finest linen this market affords, embel
lished with gold buttons instead of com.
mon ones afforded to Christians on sucI
occasions.
His hat was placed upon his head ant
pair of new Chinese sandals on his
feet, and then the dead Chinaman wal
completely laid out. His friends, who
were cOllecteu aDOuG INC DOuy, IOoh
small pieces Of com from their pockets
and exchanged them with each other
The superintendent of the Morgue pre-.
vious to this had intended to place the
corpse in ice, against which the living
Chinamen protested as successfully.
The inquest was held at the Coroner
Office this morning, when Mob Tinng, H
Ham and All Shan narrated the circum
stances preceding Moe Sings death, ant
of finding him dead, whereupon the Cor
oner's jury rendered verdict of death
from heart disease.
Moe Sing will be buried this afternoon
by Christian undertaken according II
the funeral rites of this country, but 1
is supposed that within q short time hi
friends will carry out the custom o
shipping his bones to the celestial cit.
from whence he came.--Philadelphii

tors, they went into debt for land as well
as for the means Of improvement.
The trouble is not, therefore, with the
currency, but too much land is the dis
order that has turned so many Of them
nto virtual tenants Of land spectators
and money-lenders. They are over
reached by their own greed and by the
legal wrong of land monopoly. Not sat.
isfied with quarter section which they
could pay for and improve without 60
ing into debt, they grasped a section;
and others, not satisfied with section,
struck for two or three miles square Of
land--as much as one or two dozen
farmers should have. This Is that which
10 the matter with them.
And now, oppressed by their own in
ordinate greed and their madness for
getting rich and becoming respectable
nabobs, they clutch at the 1865 bond hum
bug and ask the Government to become
q bank of loans to those who can mort
gage land for security.
This is simply scheme for repudia-
ting their debts. They are now paying
10 to 10 per cent, and they want to pay
their debts with money obtained from
the Government at 1855 per cent! Gould
they carry their point, they would pay
of their debts at about one-fourth of the
value of the principal and interest, and
after the first turn Of such cash the sys-
tenn would explode in endless disaster
to all business, and especially to the
landless laboring classes.
There can be no doubt as to the final
result. But there is no danger Of un-
dertaking such a scheme. It is simply
impossible for the Government TO enter
into such business; and If it could, 1t
would be impossible for any industry to
prosper under it. 1t is all the Govern
ment can do to furnish all the paper
money that can be ultimately carried on
the gold basis. But this is small mat
ter compared with the loan and deposit
business proposed by this scheme. The
loans consist in furnishing every one who
desires 1t with cash ON landed security ;
and the deposits consist in the CONVEX
sion of this money into 1856 bonds. The
bonds are simply certificates of deposit.
This correspondent says that S. M.
Smith, the Granger king Of Illinois has
finally come into the new currency the
ory. The most influential Changers of
the West, the South and of California
are these very land-monopolizing farmers
whose debts have reduced them to a
well-merited bondage. The misfortune
is that, being active and influential men,
they will be likely to carry 80 many Of
the small and more righteous farmers
into the humbug as to debauch the order
and carry it down forever. If the Gran
gers take on this load, the order will
fall and be remembered only as one Of
the great delusions.

THE decision OF the Supreme Court
against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
giving q judgment to the State of Mary
land for the sum of $500, 900, settles an
old dispute between these parties. Be-
fore granting the charter to this road the
State exacted a per capita on the pas
senger traffic of the company. The road
soon became restless under this burden,
and determined to test the right of the
State to demand it. This was done, and
xfter various stages of litigation the case
finally reached the Supreme Court, where
4judgment . against the road for the full
amount claimed was the result. This
decision does not, however, go directly
to the main issue which the railroad
company attempted to raise, namely,
the right of Congress to regulate
commerce between the States on the one
hand and the power of States to tax the
earnings of railroad companies on the
! other. In rendering decision In this
ease the Court held that the charter ot
the road providing for such tax was a
legitimate contract between the State
and the railroad company which must be
carried out in good faith, and on this
ground affirmed decision for the plain
tiff. The observations of the Judges on
the general questions of the right of Con.
gress to regulate commerce were
not a part Of the decision, and will
have no bearing on future cases
involving these questions. Several
correspondents in mentioning this
case have inexperienced the issues
made up, and consequently drawn er-
roneous conclusions from the decision.
The only question before the State courts
End which went on appeal to the
Supreme Conrt of the United States,
was, whether the charter Of the Balti.
more & Ohio railroad constituted such a
contract between the company and the
State as would enable the State to re.
cover on it. The decision is that the
charter does constitute such contract
between the parties, and that is all there
is OF it.

LET THE CHANGERS BE WARE.

4 conference of farmers and mechanics
has been appointed to be held in Cincin-
natl next September to consider the
currency problem, with view to the
cooperation of the two classes in behalf
Of a currency to be issued by the Fed
eral Government to any citizen who may
desire it and can give real estate secur-
ity. and this currency convertible into q
S.65 bond, and the bond convertible into
currency on demand. Horace H. Day,
Of New York, holds himself forth as
chairman of the National Invitation
Committee. Among the responses which
Mr.. Day has received is one from a
Western farmer (probably Of Illinois },
that is published for the much light fl
throws upon the condition Of the
farmers in the West and South. This
correspondent says: "We are debtors
and borrowers-no denying or disguis-
ing this-therefore if you will propose a
plan to meet our wants as borrowers and
sore US as debtors, you will find us eager
with our sympathy and support"
Speaking of this new gospel of cash he
continues:

cruel rates Of interest-would at once

planter who pays ten or fifteen per cent
interest to the mortgage, on half or even
0ne-third the value OF his land when Its
ayerage yield does not exceed from three
! to five per cent, landhoIder. He is a
tenant Of the money capitalist on that
part Of the valuation of his farm covered
BY the mortgage, and his sla0e as re-
spects the rest-his family being also
held and sharing in the servitude. Is II
not true that our Money Aristocracy are
