Is answer TO inquiries, we would
state that the specie resumption" act
passed by the Legislature Of New York
at ITS recent session does not go into
effect until after the year 1873, when
all taxes shall be paid in gold or IL
bank notes redeemable IN gold. The
act also provides that al contracts
thereafter, made payable in dollars,
without specifying what kind Of dol
lars, shall be liquidated in United
States gold Of the standard weight and
fueness. The constitutionality Of this
law, so far as State and local taxes are
. concerned, seems well settled, by no
less an authority than the Supreme
Court of the United States. Some
years ago, this identical ques-
ton came up from the aurif-
er1us Pacific coast, where they
have but little respect for greenbacks,
AMI the decision seems to have turned
on the question whether or not taxes
are debts" The language used by
Chief Justice Chase was as toll0Hs:
In whatever light we consider the
ouestion-whcther in the light of a
conflict between the legislation Of Con-
gress and the taxing power Of the States,
to which the Interpretation insisted Oh
In behalf of the county Of Lane, Ore
gon, would give rise, or in the light Of
the language Of tbeacts themselves, or IN
the light Of the decisions to which We
have referred-we find ourselves
brought to the same conclusion, that
the clause making the United States
notes a legaI-tender for debts has no
reference 20 taxes imposed by State
authority, but relates only to debts IN
the ordinary sense Of the word, arising
ont Of simple contracts or contracts
by specially, which include judgments
aud recogniZances.
This would appear to settle the right
Of State to collect its taxes on a spe-
cie basis, but does not touch the por-
ton Of the New York law proposing to
regulate contracts.

ONCE IN a while the world finds its
heroes out. Last fall boy discovered
distractions on the railroad line a few
miles west Of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and
although faint and footsore with walk
ing, be rushed back and succeeded in
stopping and saving a passenger train
which was laundering to its destruc.
ton. The heroic youth was rewarded
by the railroad company and mad his
name printed IN the papers. The
other day the same boy was arrested
near De Soto for Iobbing an express
Office, and confessed that he was con-
csrned not only in the theft, but that
he had himself placed the obstruction
on the track near Cedar Rapids the
year before, and had notified the train
in order to get a reward and a free
ride to Des Moines!

THE Chicago Tribune is after John
A. Logan with sharp stick. In the
opinion Of that Republican journal
Gen. Sherman's crowning error was
his celebrated treaty or convention
with Joseph E. Johnston in April,
1866, by which it claims, among other
things, that slavery was to be perpet-
uated. In the second volume Of his
Memoirs, Sherman makes the follow
ing reference to this agreement:
The papers were duly signed; we
parted about dark; and my party re-
turned TO Raleigh. On their
face they the terms recited that ]
had no authority to make final terms
involving civil or political questions,
but that 1 submitted them to the
proper quarter in Washington for their
action; and the letters fully explained
that the military situation was such
that the delay was an advantage to US.
/ cared little whether they were ap-
proved, modified, or disapproved IN
toto; only 1 wanted instructions.
Many Of my general officers, among
whom, am almost positive, were Gems.
Logan and Blair, urged me to accept
the terms lCitbo1t reference at al to
Washington, but I preferred the latter
course.
The Tribune seems to argue from
this that Gems. Logan and Blair not
only endorsed Sherman's political
blunder, but sought to make it a
fnality. Hence are they invited TO rise
and explain.

Milwaukee Correspondence Of the Chica go
Times.
You must know that this whisky
ring would never have been disturbed,
mall probability, if Matt Carpenter
had been reelected to the Senate, and
it was his defeat that has led to all this
difficulty and made all this fuss. All
these distillers, collectors, revenue
agents, CANCERS, and attorneys are his
personal, and many Of them his politi-
cal, friends and appOintees, and when
Mr.. Grants henchman calls for the
scalps Of these fellows, he is going for
the Hfe-blood and vigor of the party
the salt of Wisconsin Repubhcansim,
and if the salt has lost its SAVIOR, where
withal is Grantism to be sailed. Matt
has appealed to Howe and Cameron to
save him and his friends, and they have
turned a deaf ear to his beseeching wall.
They smile in his face and ask, els
it well with thee, my brother?" and at
the same time smite him under the
fifth rib. "The young lion of the
Northwest" has shaken the dew from
his name, and his terrible roar rever-
berates throughout the Radical forests,
and causes suca kids as Brodhead,
Finch, Washburn, Illsley, Tweedy,
Thomson, Bean and Holton to hunt
their holes in fear. Say what we will,
this Carpenter clique is sufficiently
strong to defeat the next Republican
ticket, and it IS by threatening to do SO
that they expect to force Howe and
Cameron to call off the dogs Of Mr..
Bristow, and let them alone in the
peaeeable possession of all the money
they have made out of their collision
with the distillers.

THE lesson Of the Holyoke disaster
Is being improved by Connecticut. A
BIZ is before the Legislature, with
good prospects of becoming a law, pro-
yiding that the doors of exit IN all
churches, halls, and other public
buildings, must open outwardly. Pal
pable and simple as this provision is,
there are very few churches or theatres
whose doors open oUtwaTdly. In our
age, architecture devotes too much at
tention to tinsel show, and too little to
soldity and safety. It is called the
materialistic age, and our supreme OBJ
iect seems 10 be physical ease; yet we
torture ourselves IN straight-back
chairs and pews with an asceticism
worthy Of the middle ages, and our
churches and halls are built on the
model Of Hindoo suttees. Every pub
lie building should have means Of exit
at intervals on either side, as well as
IN front, and al doors should open out
wardly.

guish plated from genuine ware by the

OorToN CRoP RErURNs ZOE JUNE


The Department of Agriculture is
now receiving the June returns Of cot
ton, which viii form the basis of
the estimates of area of the present
crop. During May preliminary re-
turns were received from 316 cotton
counties. In sixty-three counties in
Georgia the area averaged the same as
last year, as also in the district repre-
scented In North Carolina, Florida and
Texas. A reduction of one per
cent. appears in thirty-nine counties in
Alabama; of two per cent. in eighteen
counties in South Carolina, aud of
three per cent. In thirty-eight counties
in Arkansas. The average reduction
is eleven per cent. in Louisiana and
seventeen in Tennessee, but there are
only twenty counties represented in
each that the full returns in June may
make a different showing. The season
is reported late In nearly every in
stance, from ten days to two weeks
generally, but in some cases
three and even four weeks. More
than two-thirds of the returns make
the season too wet, especially in the
time Of planting and terminating. In
some districts the past two weeks have
been too dry. The stand is reported
good IN a majority of the returns from
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and
Texas; rather above the average in Ar
kansas and Tennessee, and scarcely
average in Louisiana. The condition
is represented below the average in
Florida, Tennessee and Arkansas;
slightly below in Georgia, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas, and average in
Alabama and in the Carolinas.
