Grants WAY.

The President has a way Of his own in most mat
ters, whether admirable or not. A few days ago
be removed Mr.. Hartley, Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury. After his successor had been ap-
pointed, Mr.. Hartley vas graeiOusy afforded an
opportunity 70 resign. That's the presidential
way Of mitigating abe fall On Wednesday Mr..
Douglass Commissioner ofInternal Revenue, was
surprised as also his friends, by notification that
ex-senator Pratt, Of Indiana, would perform the
duties Of his Office. As in the ease Of Mr.. Hartley,
be was permitted as a matter Of form-howeveri i'll
shaped people NAV regard ito hand in his re-
sgnation; that's be had an opportunity to sub
missively bow to the Executive mandate. 1t is
understood the President thinks Pennsylvania has
an undue share Of prominent appointments We
imagine Grant isn't making very extensive calcu-
iations on the Keystone states ability to help him
in the next contest, hence he is bestowing his pa
tronage where il will do the most good" Other
changes are talked Of
One Of the friends Of the new Commissioner re
marked that "there viii be no stealing going on
under him that he knows Of, but there may be
mighty sight that be will never know Of" The
point Of the joke Of this last observation will be
best appreciated By those who know that Commits
ioner Pratt, is something less in size than an ele-
liant.

Judgment against the B. & o. R. R

The Supreme Cour; Of the United States on
Monday rendered its decision 10 a number Of
important cases among them the long pend
Ing capita,ion tax case of The State of Mary
Land against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
The decision was in favor Of the State, and the
judgment for SSl6.s7l4S The Baltimore
Sun says the effect Of this opinion is to settle
definitely not only the legality Of the claim Of
the State Of Maryland TO the total amount in-
volved in the railroad suits so far brought
against the company for ooe-ffth Of the pas
seuser receipts on the Washington branch, but
it further establishes the principle that the
State has a valid claim for one-ffth of the
passenger receipts on the branch road up TO
this time and for all time to come, unless
waived by its own volunteer act, irrespective
entirely Of the amount Of fare charged by the
company.
The practical value Of the decision in favor
Of the State is roughly estimated a; half mil
lion dOllars,
