THE opinion Of eight lawyers,
hastily given, does not constitute a
decision of the Supreme Court. If
the street railroad company ever
had the right to charge over five
cents a fare, which we very much
doubt, that right was taken away
by an act of the legislature which
was approved by Governor Porter
last Monday. Whether the law is
constitutional or not, it is the law
nevertheless, and will remain such
and in absolute force until repealed
or declared unconstitutional. The
company obtained and published
this opinion of those excellent gen.
tlemen to forestall aud muzzle pub
lie opinion and to avoid litigation,
which they seemed 60 anxious the
other day to invoke. A test case
will be made, and that soon enough.
But until a decision is had in their
favor the law does not allow the
company to demand or receive over
FIVE cents for a single fare.

W~HEELING, March 30.-At lao this
morning a FIRE was discovered in the
stables in rear of the Graut House in
this city. BY the time the alarm was
given to the gueats the FIRE had reached
the top story Of the hotel, rushing up
the elevator like a furnace. The stairs
in the front part Of the house were dis
covered on FIRE simultaneously. The
guests and employees all escaped without
injury SO far as known, although several
were taken from the windows. The fire
spread with fearful rapidity, and but
little furniture was saved. At $3.50 the
walls fell in, excepting the Main street
front, which is badly sprung and will
probably require taking down. The
house is totally destroyed. The loss is
about 800, 600; insurance, $55. 900. The
proprietors will temporarily occupy an
adjoining building. The fire was un-
doubtedly the work Of an incendiary.

The Relgio-P Philosophical Jour
nal, of Chicago, now has two edi.
tons, one in the spirit land and one
in the flesh. The spirit offs. S. Jones,
the old man who was assassin
ated a few weeks ago, has commu-
nicated through DR.. j. V. Mans
field, a noted medium, that being
freed from the trammels of the
flesh he can do more for the paper
through a proper medium than ever
before. His name still appears at
the head of the paper, and his SON
in-law, John G. Bundy, is an
nounced as acting editor and mana
ger. Mr.. Jones was a thorough
exponent Of the doctrines of
modern spiritualism, and de-
voted his whole life to the
work of unfolding and advo-
eating the most advanced ideas on
the subject. A long-haired, fanatical
philosopher claiming to have
knowledge that Jones had seduced
his wife from the path of virtue,
sent the spirit of the old man to
the invisible world by q pistol ball
through the back of his head. The
spirit of S. s. J. gives assurance
that he, or rather it, was received
into the realms Of bliss with an
thems of JOY, with greetings that
bubbled up from the souls of those
wise sages who had surrounded him
during his earth career. He kindly
announces through the medium
that be will not pursue the assassin.
All this and much more is duly set
forth in the Journal of last week,
much to the d~electation, no doubt,
of all who are inclined to that way
of believing and thinking.

WENDELL PHILLIPS delivered in
New York last Monday night one
of his puugent, %yituperatiye, scold-
ing speeches. His theme, as an
nounced, was The Holy Alliance,
Rum and the Revolver" 1t was a
brilliant, fretful, ill-natured, scan
dalous TRADE against the South,
eliminating in a storm Of denun-
citation of President Hayes for treat
ing Southern men with any consid-
Grafton. He denounced them as
murderers, assassins and barbarians
and declared that Hayes had in
suited the manhood and loyalty of
the country in his dealings with
them. The new administration is
severely denounced, and Hayes is
charged with insincerity. Phillips
is a fanatic, and happily for The
country such men, however much
attention they may attract, have
but a small following. The New
York Herald of Tuesday says:
The President should regard Mr..
Phillips incontinent invective as the
highest compliment and the best tribute
10 his sincerity which has been paid him
in any quarter. Whose sentiments does

Phillips with appreciation and relish,
and even they will not dare to avow their
approval.

THERE Is tempest in teapot at
Washington, all because, as is alleged,
certain Republicans made compact
with certain Democrats to the effect
that President Hayes should etxend to
the south the full control OF things
political, and withdraw the troops from
Louisiana and South Carolina the
"value received" for which was the
the peaceful Inauguration of the Pres
ident. This looks decidedly thin
We do not believe there is promi-
nent Republican who would so far be-
little himself as to bargain for the
peaceful inauguration of president,
and further, to make such bargain
involving the exercise of prerosative
of the Executive without his consent,
would be an act of boidness and audac-
ity hitherto unparalleled even in the
annals of Democratic politics. r. B.
Hayes is president, and probably can
manage the bushes of the nation with
out the assistance of political bummers
To go ahead with samples, after the
fashion of Chicago grocer. The
South will get justice at the hands of
President Hayes, tempered with all
reasonable mercy.

THE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
is doing good thing in bringing the
attention of the people to the fact that
the physical welfare of community is
dependent in large measure upon the
observance of HYGIENE laws. The
Report of the Board received soms
weeks since, contains much kno Wedge
which ought very generally to be dis
seminated among the people, and we
wish that it might be perused in
every household. In order that the
public may understand somewhat the
purpose Of the Board and how init
mately the people are connected with,
and interested in it's success we pub
lish portion of circular issued in
February last. We ask for it an at
tentive perusal
Az a knowledge of vital statistics
lies at the foundation of the successful
study of sanitary science, the Board
greatly desires to secure general sem
timent in favor of the observance IF
the Registration Law of the State, and
for the convenient reference of those
who may be willing to aid in this OBJ
jet. it notes the following points
]. A law Of the State requires,
under penalty of not less than fifty
dollars. that all persons solemnizing a
marriage, shall within 80 days report
the same to the Register of the County
III which the ceremony was performed.
2. Physicians under similar penal
ties, are in like manner required to
make returns Of all births and death
occurring in the practice
5. Blanks on which to make these
returns are provided by the State, and
may be obtained from any Register of
Deeds in the State without cost.
4. Circulars calling attention to
these facts have recently been issued,
both from the Office Of the State Board
Of Health, and from the office Of the
Secretary Of State, which have been
sent TO every physician, clergyman and
justice Of the peace in Wisconsin.
whose address it has been possible to
obtain.
