DURING the joint discussion at Dav-

Murphy, sneeringly said that Mr..
Price told the pnritdas up there at
"Iiptoa that but three articles We're
"taxed-whisky, beer and tobacco,
"and you don't care how mach they
care taxed"
Mr.. Murphy's high-minded object
in throwing out to a Davenport aud
fence statement of that kind is very
obvious, but unfortunately for him
Mr.. Price said no such thing in his
Upton speech. Mr.. Murphy had de-
clared i'm tones of thunder. referring to
the obligations Of the government that
"you horny handed SONS of toll must
pay all this. Mr.. Price in reply remind
ed Mr.. NJ. that the Government Of the
U. s. derived its revenues from taxes
of luxuries, such as costly imported
goods, whisky, etc, and turning to
his audience and initiating Murphy's
pompous utterance in manner that
brought down the house, he asked,
"How much of these taxes do you

THE REGULATING DECISION.
Meridian Mercury.l

Meridian Mercury
The Supreme Court has decided the
great railroad cases, wherein money was
loaned to the roads before and paid back
during the war in Confederate money un.
der special authority of an act of the Leg
islature, adversely to the railroads. The
ground upon which the decision rests is,
the act was in aid of the RebelIion-so
called-and therefore void. How that
could be deduced is a mystery. If the
State, which was raising troops and fur
nish supplies as State, and doing some
thing continually to help carry on the
war, had demanded of the road to make
payment in gold or its equivalent, cotton.
for instance, would not that which
strengthened the hands of the State and
gave it more power, have had more the
appearance of aiding the Rebellion-so-
called? We have not seen the learned
briefs and arguments of counsels on Ell
Their side, but we do not hesitate to say
that the decision is an absurdity and
based upon a ridiculous non seqtit,tr.
Tarbell delivered the decision. 1t is sus.
picious of ''results of the war" too much
on the judicial brain. If we were mem.
Der of the Legislature we would intro
duce bill to legalize the payment in
Confederate money, even at the risk, il
it should pass, of inuring to the benefit
of the 'wreckers" of the Mobile & Ohio
Railroad, which had an interest in the
suit of about 100000. The State is in
honor bound to keep its Confederate
faith with the roads, and, for one, we
are for doing it. And we should like to
know what power can prevent State
from maintaining inviolate her contracts
with railroads made during the war
against the technical decision of her own
Judges, carpet baggers or domestic seal
ilawags, that the act was in aid of rebel
hon. Lit is for State to take advantage
OF her own wrong to avoid her contracts.

GOVERNOR ASIEs IMPEACHED

The House of Representatives has
done its duty nobly. After a careful
reading and deliberate consideration OF
the testimony accompanying the report
of the Investigating Committee, by a
vote of eighty-six to fourteen that body
has impeached Governor Adelbert Ames,
Of high crimes and misdemeanors IN
office. and will arraign him for trial at
the bar of the Senate that judgment
may be passed upon his conduct. A
lust public, when they have read the tes-
timony on which this finding has been
made, will not only approve it but will
be appalled, at the extent and magnitude
of the crimes for which the accused off
cial will be tried. The half had not been
realized by the people of the State
when their verdict was pronounced in
tones of thunder, last November.
The Committee Of Inquiry, who have
been engaged on the case, have unearth-
ed masses of evidence, which, but for
their vigilance and perseverance, would
have escaped exposure. When we say
that the people owe them debt of graft
tude for the courage, the constancy,
the untiring energy and, we will
add, the scrupulous fairness they have
exhibited throughout this investiga-
ton, we but feebly express our idea of
the value of the service they have rem
dered.
We repeat, the House has done its
duty. All eyes are now upon the Senate.

Opinion of the Court by SIMRALL, j.

OpHCtOt " dtC SOW'o W -
The facts of this case are as follows: In
1868, j. b. 3. Flint made an application for
a liquor license, and one K. 2. Adams made
a similar application. Eli Phillips being
indebted to these parties, gave his notes to
the County Treasurer for these license taxes,
viz. for $500 and for $50 respectively; Sc
cured, by deed in trust on lands, with power
of sale in the trustee; and the County Treas
urer accepted the notes and issued the Ii
censes, no money being paid. The notes re-
cited that they were given for a loan Of part
of the common school fund. Phillips filed
his bill in equity to enjoin the execution of
the trust deed, on the ground that the trans
action was illegal. The Chancery court,
on final hearing, made a decree for deliv
cry up of the notes and perpetually enjoin-
ing the sale under the trust fund. Held:
|. The Code of 1857, PIP. 1917 and 1913, re-
quires that the tax for the license shall be
paid to the County Treasurer, and allows
him no discretion or election. The trans
action was illegal, being in violation OF the
statute. go Miss, 4l4) This being the
character of the obligation, it cannot be en-
forced.
III, 1t cannot be doubted that the County
Treasurer has made himself liable to the
county for the amount of the taxes. AZ

Of Jamas Garrett deceased, for $1,7ll. Inc
note upon which the judgment was founded
was made in 1861. In 1866 and 1857, Garrett,
in his lifetime, conveyed all his real estate,
except his homestead exemption, TO ms
children. some of whom were minors, ana
to his son-in-law. The execution at law
was returned malta bona. Thereupon the
creditor filed a bill in equity to set aside the
conyevances and for satisfaction out OF the
lands. The answers denied the allegations
of fraud made I'm the bill. The proof failed
to show that any of the granters had the
means for purchasing the lands. The deeds
recited an aggregate price of about S6,0O0-
about the only means the granters had de-
rived from the decedent. One of the sons
of the decedent testified that the convey
ances were intended by the decedent as
gifts. There was a decree for the creditors.
Held:

they are made in good faith and for fair
