Metairie Course, where the meeting was
arranged.
The parties were stationed, the word
was given, and they fred without effect.
A parley was held, and the challenging
parties declared themselves satisfied,
Cunningham, of course, for his friend
acquiesced in the termination of the
affair. Thereupon Bobadil, who had
been much disappointed in the bloodless
result, declared that his pistols never be
fore missed F; that this was mere chiId's
play, and that when parties did take
trouble to come out to fight, he liked to
see something done.
"Wen, responded Cunningham, IF
you are SO anxious to see a little blood
shed, I will take great pleasure in ac-
commodating you, and in order to justify
you for shedding little of my blood, 1
take the liberty to say that [ consider
you coward and blackguard.'
Bobadil remarked that he didn't come
there to fight himself, but to see others
fight, and SUNK from the field. He never
again "went out" as either principal
or second. Poor Cunningham died IN
New Orleans in 1854, of consumption.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

Important DecisiOn-The Supreme Court
Declares that Congress has the Po,cer to
Regulate Interstate Commerce.
The Supreme Court of the United States. in
deciding the capitatiCn case between the State
of Maryland and the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. went somewhat outside of the record to
give an opinion upon the general power of
Congress to regulate Interstate commerce
This decision cannot fail to attract attention
throughout the country, as it practically antici-
pates case in the Granger interests, and de-
cides that Congress under the Constitution
has the power to regulate commerce
between the States. The case of the
State of Maryland against the Baltimore and
Ohio road was claim of Maryland for $500. 600
from that road under provision of the charter
of that road which provides that certain CAPT.
tation tax should be annually paid to the State
in consideration of the charter The railroad
entered the plea that the provision is uncon-
stitutional in that it is an impediment placed
by Maryland in the way of commerce, and an
obstruction to the passage of citizens Of
other States through Maryland. The Supreme
Court ruled that the agreement to pay the
capitation tax is a valid contract, and not I'M
constitutional. The passage in the decision
relative to the general power of Congress over
transportation is something in the nature
of an obiter dictron. The Court in substance,
says 1t is often difficult to draw the line be-
tween the power of State over commerce and
the provisions of the Constitution. 1t is indis-
putable that the State cannot impede commerce
in their attempts to regulate it. The question
practically liz where the regulation of commerce
by a State ends and the obstruction to travel
begins. The chief remedy of the public against
excessive tolls is competition. The question
whether Congress has the power to regu-
late Interstate commerce has occupied
the most powerful minds of the country.
This power was exercised in completing
the old Cumberland road and the Pacific
railroad 1t is to be hoped that no occasion
power necessary, and that the States will not
be so regardless of their own interests as to en-
deavor to impose restrictions upon travel. If
the States DO this they may expect that Con-
gress. to protect the citizens of the nation, will
exercise to the utmost degree its constitu-
tional power to control interstate commerce.
The progress of merchandise must be unim-
peded. Commercially, this is one country, and
the general interest of the whole country
demands that there shall be no interference
with the due progress of commerce. No local
interests can be permitted to interfere with this
great principle, but the rights of the States
must also be protected. Hence the court de-
cides that the charter of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad wss a legitimate, reasonable and con-
stitutional contract with the State. The opin-
ion is unanimous, with the exception of Justice
Miller, who dissents. His dissent goes to the
points Of the main case, however, and does not
refer to the general statement as to tie power
of Congress over interstate commerce.

LANGUAGE OF ANNALS.

On the subject of language of animals,
Aristotle confines himself 10 SAYING that
some "are capable of hearing sounds
and discerning the variety of signs. )"
Plutarch also recognizes that "aniinals
have only voices, and no language
Moniaigne believes that beasts have q
language we do not understand it, i. is
true /; but whose is the fault! at is TO
be guessed" he says, whose is the
fault that we do not understand it I; for
we do not understand them any more
than they do us; for the same reason,
they may este. n us brutes, as we esteem
them" He further cleverly remarks,
" their movements, discourse and treat. :"
Dupont de Nemours imagines he hears
it. He has given us, as we know, the
translation of the nightingale's songs
he has given us also the dictionary of
crows " work which has cost him, +"
he says, two winters, and great cold Of
feet and hands," Coming down to
later date, We remember finding in that
quaint book, "Life in the West" pub
ished few years since by the late s. r.
Wells, chapter on thissubiect, in which
the author gives most entertaining ac-
count of his adventures in trying to get
at the conversation of cattle, of his final
failure, and his escape with his life
