Tho Endorsement Laws.

The case of the United States u.s.
Cruikshank and two others, of Grant
Parish, in Louisiana. who have been
convicted of violating the Enforcement
Acts, has just been argued in the United
States Supreme Court. The defendants
were indicted for murder, conspiracy to
prevent negroes from voting, &c.-of-
fences, or charges, rather, Of which we
have had some experience in this State.
The real question which the appeal
brought before this Court to determine
is this: '.Is the Congressional legislation
to enforce the prohibitions of the last
three amendments to the Constitution
compatible with that instrument" Seve-
raj distinguished and brilliant constitu-
tional lawyers appeared on behalf of the
defendants in .exror. Hon. Reverdy
johnson, Of Baltimore, and Hon. David
Dudley Field, of New York, delivered
exhaustive and masterly speeches on
that side. Judge J. s. Black, of Penn
sylvania, gave the benefit of his advice
to his associate, but in consequence of
the abandonment by the Attorney Gene
raj Of the broad ground of the constitu-
tionality of the appropriate legislation" +"
he did not think it necessary to appear
to attack it. In fact, it is the virtual ad-
mission that the Acts are uHconstitu-
tional, or, in other words, that the
appointments to the Constitution do not
warrant such legislation as the Ku Klux
Acts and the Civil Rights Bill. The
main issue has thus been lodged for the
present. but the admirable arguments of
Mr.. Field and Mr. johnson open up the
whole question 80 lucidly to the view,
that it seems hardly likely there can be
any further doubt about it.

Exposure of Frauds and Reduction Not
Taxes. -.-.f. = 90

8x66s
Governor Tilden's recent exposure OF
the canal ring frauds in New York has
boen received everywhere in that State
with favor and applause. Large meet
ings, called 70 Sustain his action, haye
been held in the principal cities, and
distinguished IL men Of all parties vie With
each other In their COMMUNICATION Of his
pluck, foresight and probity. The Cham
Der of Commerce, Produce Exchange and
other bodies in the city of New York have
signified their cordial recognition of his
services to the people. The wrongs and
frauds in the canal management have
long been known, but tho ring dominated
the State, and could not, apparently,
heretofore be brought to account. But
Governor Tilden seems in-a fair way to
do it. The Produce Exchange adopted
resolutions approving his recommended
tions for reduction of tolls on the canals
Thoy express, irrespective of creed or
party, the, strongest confidence in the
Governor, and profound indignation
against the authors md benefciaries of
the canal frauds and abuses, which, as
they say. although existing for many
years, have now for the first time been
fearlessly unearthed to the gaze of an
astounded and outraged constituency.
The Governor demands of the Legisla-
ture, and of the public officers of the
State, in behalf of the taxpayers of New
York, legislation that will cut up by the
roots the system under which the canal
frauds have been committed, and a de-
cided reduction of the canal cxpcndi-
lures. BE thinks that reduction of one
third or one-quarter may be effected in
both the ordinary and extraordinary re-
pairs. In this manner, if he succeeds,
he will, according to the estimates made
by the New York World, remit to the
taxpayers of the State at least ST, SOC, 900
of taxes the coming year.
