HAS GOVERNMENT RIGHTS THA T
RAILROADS ARE BOUND TO RE-
SPECI?

The Supreme Court of the United
States had before it the case of the Gem
trail Pacific Railroad Company against
the United States, involving the ques.
ii IN whether Pacific railway companies
have the right to hold Government
freight until the charges are paid; wheth-
er, in short, lien exists in their favor as
against the Government The Court be-.
low held they had not, and their decis-
ion has been contested, the argument
for the companies being that the qnes
ton was decided over a year ago, in the
case of the Union Pacific against the
United States it being there held that
the companies were not bound to pay
the interest on their bonds, which has
been paid by the Government until the
bonds matured. Hence, there is no
present claim by the Government upon
the companies which can be made an
offset for freight charges. The Govern.
meut insists that such a lien can not be
recognized, because if it could be en-.
forced, the Government would at all
times, in peace and war, dependent upon
the companies, without protection from
extortion; even the mails would be held
for charges. Such state of things, it is
said, would derogate from this power of
the Government.

THE State officers of Pennsylvania ap-
peared before the Pittsburgh Grand Jury
Monday, but the Commonwealth Coun'
sci informed the Court that if they, the
officials, were required to be examined
relative to State secrets with view to
basing charges against them, the Cover
nor might feel himself called upon to de-
clare martial law and close up the courts
Confronted with such possibility, the
Pittsburgh Court shrugged its shoulders
and reserved its decision. Chicago Times.
It is intimated that Gov. Hartrantt,
rather than 'spond to the summons Of
the Grand Jury of Allegheny county to
appear and testify concerning the action
of the State authorities in connection
with the Pittsburgh riots, will declare
martial law, aud thus evade any attach
ment for contempt of court, in case Judge
Fitzpatrick should adjudge him guilty of
contempt Chicago Tribune.
The foolishness of Attorney General
Lear is gaining an extensive circulation.
His threat of martial law is laughed at
as the elimination of the cowarc ice and
bungling of our State authorities in the
matter of the Pittsburgh riots. Lears
insult is submerged in his ignorance of
the Constitution and laws of the State
Post.

GENERAL BELKNAP.

A Keokuk correspondent to the Saint
Louis Republican writes: While con-
versing with a friend the other day, ex-
Secretary Belknap's long and flowing
beard was seen approaching, propelled
by the power behind, or rather beneath
it. He sauted my friend, who introdu.
ced me, and as l took the two fingers of
the right hand which the ex-Secretary
presented to me between the thumb and
under fingers of my good, right fippers,
aud while we both INDUCED ina genteel,
high toned shake" l cast penetrating
glance into the handsome features before
me, and while rapidly running my eyes
down over the spotless shirt front, over
the vest buttons, and taking in pair of
pants cut in the latest style, mentally
concluded that in the struggle between
care and Belknap, the latt had secured
the underholt and had the best of the
wrestle. He has freed himself from the
cares of official life; the incubus of Office
troubles him but lttle-it is another sort
of ink he has to deal with now. Yes,
Belknap has joined the irrepressible
army of guerrIlas known as commercial
travellers, and is introducing and expati-
ating on the merits of patent indelible
ink for the use of postmasters in cancel
ing stamps and it won't be long before
the General is discovered along with the

Character ANA Career Of oliver T..
Morton,

Don Piatt in Cincinnati Enquirer:
OF all the bold, bad men that have
ruled our country to its ruin during
the past sixteen years, 0. p. Morton
stands conspicuous as far the worst
Cold, calculating and selfish, he was a
man of large brain without culture
and possessed of high courage that
was not made admirable by gener.
our nature. He had not the cruelty
OF cowardice, but the cruelty of hard,
unfeeling, selfish nature. Without
convictions of his own, he was q bigot
in enforcing the convictions of his
party. AS war governor he was re-
markable for his energy in sending
troops to the field and the earnestness
with which he famed the flames OF
civil strife. When the war of arms
came to an end he took up the agta-
ton Of hate, and was again foremost
in his zeal to trample upon a PROSTATE
people. And in all this he was not
animated by any impulse other than
what came of selfish desire to adj
vance himself. He was the leader Of
those politicians in place who have SO
degraded our civil service under the
sanction of Grant that it is probably
impossible ever to restore it to a
healthy condition. He sought to
make the republican party the gov.
eminent Of the United States, and
openly practiced the infamous saying
OF the late Governor Marcy that to the
victOrs belong the spoils. he had nc
friends that were not thieves, no COM
panions that were not demagogues
and no constituency above the grade
of the negro. Without the patience to
study he had in his ignorance no
claim to craftsmanship, and although
he was singularly clear and lncisive
in stating what he did know, he knew
so little that his capacity was almost
useless. Simple and economical to
austerty in his way of life, he was
frightful in the qualification of his
animal passions.

The Successor OF brigham Young I'm
known.

A Mormon elder carrying on mis-
siopary work in Philadelphia thinks
that Youngs sons have no chance to
hecome his successor. The elder says:
do not think it at all probable that
one of President Young's sons will be-
come his successor az head Of the
church. No one has any claim to the
position except that of fitness. The
supreme authority Of the church is
vested in the quorum Of twelve, who
are the successors OF the apostles. The
president will be chosen by the votes
of all the saints, the nomination being
made by the quorum of twelve. 1t
may be some time before president
is chosen. Whenever that is done it
will be done in perfect harmony and
the prosperity of Mormonism will not
be at all affected 10y President YouOg's
death. There will be, no doubt, some
outsiders who will lay claim to the
presidency, like Joseph Smith, the son
of our first prophet. He has always
claimed to be the head of the church
since his fathers death, bat he has
never lived in Utah, has never been
identified with the progress OF the
people and is not recognized by us rs
u Mormon. 1t would be useless for
me to make n prediction as to who
will he chosen, for no one can tell who
il will be.

and killed him. Mr. Fletcher, who was
the only one at home, raised a window
to ascertain what the trouble was, when
the dog bit him IN the left arm, maxi
ing an ugly wound Mr.. Fletcher then
seized pair of large tongs and stepped
to the door, when the dog sprant at his
throat. A blow from the tongs knocked
him back, but he instantly rallied and
made another spring, with the same
result. Thus the fight contiued for a
long time, the dog becoming more nN
uriated at every blow, when finally he
succeeded in driving his tangs into
Fletcher's right arm, tearing the flesh
into shreds 1t was now fight for lie
and by a desperate effort the dog was
given blow that partially stunned him
