VICTORY FOR TaE DRUMMER.

In the United States Supreme
Court, on Monday, the following
important Ease was decided:
Wilton Us. State Missouri
Error u the Supreme Court of
Missouri.-Ihis was a writ of err
ror to u convection under the Mis-
souri, statute defining the status of
peddlers, and prohibiting such
from dealing in goods, wares and
merchandise, except books, charts,
maps, and stationery, which are
not the growth, production, or
manufacture Of the State, unless
licensed to do SO. The court be-
low held the license to be a tax
upon a calling, n which is lin
tied TO the sale of merchandise not
the growth or product of The State,
and therefore within State author
ity. The court admits the general
power OF the State To impose taxes
ny way Of Licenses upon all pur-
suits and occupations within it's
limits, but held the license in this
case, although nominally upon tile
occupation which consists IN the
sale o goods to De in effect u tax
upon the goods themselves, aud
that such q tax is not competent
tor the State to impose. 1t Is a
discrimination against the products
OF OLiier States III the conditions of
the sale by a certain class Of deal
rrs, and Is in conflict with that
clause Of the Federal Constitution
which declares that Congress shall
have power to regulate commerce
with foreign nations, and among
the several States. 10 prescribe
rules by which commerce shall he
governed is to regulate commerce,
and this power is vested IN Con-
gress without Limitation. 1t is
difficult to decide where the COM
merclal power Of Congress ends
and that of the State begins, and
it would be premature to state any
general rule to be universally ap-
piled. But it is sufficient to hold
in this case that the commercial
power Of Congress continues until
the commodity has ceased to be

The subject was dropped, and
the entire household retired early,
for on the morrow the brothers,
young, ardent, aud full of life, were
to be there. But without sending
any word Of She:r intention, they
had concluded to take the train
which would land them in Holly

John did so, and when seated in

A"I didn't think Of that, but l

The brothers put their heads to-
gether and laughed merrily over

and accordingly, when the train
reached Hollythorn, about eleven
o'clock, they approached the house
Of their sister in q very stealthy
manner.
Climbing the fence in the rear,
they softly opened the window and
obtained access to the pantry,
where they demolished a whole

and prepared to investigate the

few whispered words were ex.
changed, and then, as lightly as if
