In the Supreme Court OF the United
States, yesterday, the case of the State
OF Maryland against the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company was decided
in favor Of the State. The latter claim.
ed deferred payment of 500, 900 as
due for the period between 1860 and
1870, being one-sixth of the passenger
fares taken on the Washington and
Baltimore branch of the road. The
company refused payment on the plea
that the tax was unconstitutional. The
Supreme Court held that the passenger
tax was different from a tax on inter
state communication, which a State
could not impose. The State had a
right to impose conditions in the grant
ing of the charter for the road, and
it mattered not what became of the
money, which was bonus to the
State. The State had right to i'm.
pose the condition in consideration of
the franchise.

THE Tribune is becoming almost as adrOit
at SANDER by implication as its mentor in
journalism, the San. 1t says: "When the
" fiscal agency was taken away from the
L" Earrings and given to Clews and Cooke,
the country was requested to believe that
the change was made in consequence of
" the conduct of the Earrings during the
"war." The Tri5 ynG tells its readers that
the Administration requested the country
to believe" this That is the direct mean
ing implied in the language above quoted.
Now, the Tribune knows that neither Sec
rotary Fish, nor Secretary Robson, nor
Secretary Boutwell,, nor the President ever
said or intimated anything of the kind.
The only authority ever given for such an
assertion, we venture to say, was that of
some special dispatch to the Detective Press
of New York-sent, no doubt, by Wash
ington correspondent in the pay of Henry
Clews & Company or Jay Cooke & Com
pany, or both. Ii is more than likely that
the story was set on foot by some CORE
spondent of the tribune ITSELF and
that journal now has the meanness to
ask its readers to think that the Admins
tration authorized 1t. Nothing is more
certain than that the Administration has
not only never given currency to any such
stories regarding the Earrings, but that it
has also never failed to contradict the
calumny when applied to for information
on the subject. The change was made be-
cause it was properly thought no more than
right that American business abroad should
be transacted through American agencies.
No one at that time doubted the solvency,
safety and competency of the houses of
Cooke and Clews, not even the Tribune,
which was, we believe, loud IN its appro-
val of the change being made, as proper
encouragement to American enterprise.
But now, true to the instincts of the vulture
and the jackal, the wolves of the Detective
Press, when Cooke and Clews can D longer
bleed at their behest pounce upon their
carcasses and aid in picking their bones.
1t does not require much courage to kick a
dead lion. If the whole truth shall be eX-
posed by Mr.. Henry Clews regarding the
transaction under discussion. we predict
that considerable sum of the money fool
ishiy expended by him in his efforts to Sc
cure a portion of the fiscal agency of the
Government abroad will be traced to the
pockets of the Washington representatives
of the Defective Press

THE New York Herald says "a bare ma
"jority is a great victory over the inla.
tionists, and Governor Aliens failure,
though it may be only by a few votes,
will teach the same wholesome lesson as
{" if the Republican victory had been over
whclming." What nonsense The facts
show that nearly if not quite three hundred
thousand Ohio voters supported the infla-
ton theory, while the Republicans who
succeeded in defeating it did so by the Skin
of their teeth, =" as the saying is. Twenty
five hundred votes more for initiation would
have elected Allen. AS we have said before,
these facts may be unsavory to the managers
of the Republican party, who are inclined
to be vain glorious over their success, -
but they are facts nevertheless, and worthy
of grave consideration, because they show
that the Democrats still hug the rag-baby
to their breasts, and are determined to give
it sufficient nourishment to keep it alive
until the next national campaign.

THE wife-beater of the New York Times,
otherwise known as the unnaturalized
editor of that sheet, and the tool of Jay
Gould, refers to Gen. Butler, of Mass, as a
statesman, whose only boast is that he is
''known to the country by the endearing
'tname of Old Cockeye.'" However much
Gen. Butler may differ from the majority
Of the Republican party on the question of
finances, he has exhibited ability of no
ordinary kind as a general leader. and is
entitled to recognition as a man whose
loyalty TO the party has never permitted
him to antagonize its success. But we will
be sadly mistaken if, in the not far distant
future, when he gets his cock-eye rested
on this infamous Jennings, the fur does not
fly and Gin Pig Jones, the nominal pro-
prietor of the Times, does not smell new
kind of smell.

WHILE TAKING account of the Unfit

WHILE TAKING account of the influences
which saved Ohio to the cause of Republican
ism and good government, it will not do to
overlook the services of the Germans. The
Sentinel of this city, as the national organ
of that element of our voting population,
did good service in their behalf by expos
ing the demagogism and despicabls treach-
cry Of Sam Carey, the Democratic candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor. The figures
show that in Cincinnati (Hamilton county,
Carey ran five hundred behind his ticket, a
fact which must be accepted as an indica-
tion that an equal number of voters were
driven into the Republican ranks by his
unpopularity. 1t would be impossible to
determine the exact number of votes turned
by the Sentinel and its friends against the
Democracy, but suspicion exists that they
were strong enough to have decided the
election the other way, if their anti Carey
impulses had not induced them to vote the
Republican ticket The plain deduction
from these facts, however, is that the aver
age German voter is truly and conscien-
tiously independent, and that his support
may always be safely counted upon for the
best ticket and against demagogism.

George WILKES, in the current mum
bar OF The Spirit of the Time declares
that he declined to come to Washington
"during the tendency of the application
by others" for his appointment to be Min
lister to Mexico. That this declaration is
false, every newspaper man who was then
in the city will testify. The truth is that
Wilkes lobbied for the appointment as well
as he knew how, and was backed up by
influences which would have assured his
success il it had not been discovered that
he sought it for corrupt purposes. But it
makes very little difference what Wilkes
says or does now a-days. Since he at

The correspondent of the New York
Times, who has kept that journal posted
regarding the conduct of the campaign in
Ohio, has made but few mistakes, however
many blunders its editor has made. In a
recent dispatch to that journal from CoIum
bus he says:
1.-THE impression is growing here that soclose
q result as this does not kill imitation. and
though the contest has harmonized and
strengthened the Republican party, the Demo-
Gratis have not seen the last of their trouble
with the rag baby"
The New York Tribune and other Oppo-
sition or Democratic journals, that are
now engaged in trying to rally the East to
the support of Tiiden by declaring that in
fation is dead, may as well acknowledge
the fact that it is not, as set forth in this
extract, now as at some other time. The
people understand it, and know that the
Democracy has not abandoned the rag baby
by any means. The encouragement they
received in Ohio will induce them to nour-
ish the bastard as long as they have any
hopes of keeping it alive. Even if they
should be defeated in Pennsylvania, as we
hope and believe they will, on account Of
their love fer it, they will put the brat for
ward at their next convention and ask for its
