By a series of decisions announced yesterday,
the United States Supreme Court has affirmed
the judgments of the courts below in the cele-
bratcd Granger cases. The first Of these was
the Illinois case in which the right of the
Legislature to fix the maximum of charges by
the Chicago elevators was questioned. The
Court afiirms that right, declaring that its ex-
ercise is not rcpugnant to that clause OF the
Constitution which reserves to Congress the
regulation of Interstate commerce, because
these elevators, being situated within the State,
are under State CONTROL and are not necessa-
rilv connected with Interstate commerce nor
TO that clause of the Constitution which pro-
bibits the giving of any preference by any
commercial regulation to the ports of one
State over those of another, because that pro-
bibition is addressed to Congress and not to
the State The ground on which the third
point is overruled-that this law violates that
provision of the Fourteenth Amendment pro-
tecting all persons in the enjoyment OF life,
liberty, and prOpcrty-s the broad ground on
which this and all the remaining cases are
decided, viz, the common law night OF the
State TO control private property so far as 1t
is affected with public interest II the State
can fix ferry rates and the charges of hack
men. it can regulate the charges OF railroads
and elevators. In the Wisconsin case, the
issue was made upon the right to prescribe
maximum rates Of fare for railroads. and the
right is still upheld. The point, so much
more pertinent in this case than il the other,
that this was virtual interference with inter
State commerce, Is disposed of in this one
tcrse sentence Until Congress undertakes to
"providc for those who are without the State,
Wisconsin can provide for those within,
even though it may Indirectly affect those
without" In the Iowa ease, the right to
adopt q classified system Of railroad charges
il sustained These decisions, presented i'll an
able series of opinions by Chief-Justice Waite,
and made with but one dissenting voice, seem
10 make the broadcast possible affirmation of
the right of the State to regulate its own

Mr. Rugges's indictment of the State Nor
nal Schools in the Assembly yesterday set
forth, in the main. evils that can only be cured
by the abolition of the schools, and it is not
surprising that the Assembly refused to follow
him in proposition which amounted substan-
tally to that. That but two and half per
cent of the teachers in the public schools are
obtained from the Normal Schools, though
these institutions have cost the State in the
last four years more than half million OF
dollars, undoubtedly shows that they fail to
fulfil all the objects for which they were
founded. Still there is no way apparently by
which it can be made absolutely certain that
The pupils of these schools will remain i'll the
state which has given them the means OF
earning a livelihood, or in the business for
which the State fitted them. 1t remains for
the State to discover whether it is deriving
return commensurate with the expenditure 1t
is making, and that could probably be best
ascertained by just such an investigation as
Mr.. Hustled suggested yesterday.

There is maxim in the celebrated little dictionary
which teaches that desperate diseases require
desperate remedies" and it was perhaps conviction
of this truth which prompted the convocaton Of the
great Tilden meeting in Washington last Tuesday
evening We do not understand that the meeting
accomplished anything in particular toward .
settlement of the problems Of the age, and yet a.
meeting simply it was grand and picturesque. For
Dr. Mary Walker was there, and the patriots Of the
capital cheered her with all their lungs; and that
sanguinary nincompoop Dom Piatt was there, and
they cheered him too; and if the committee could
only have secured the attendance Of Gobble, and
Cronn and Sergeant Bates, and the bad young man
Pelton, they would all have been chcered, and the
party would have been symmetrical. Nevertheless
the demonstration will have its effect upon the
country.

last Filibustering has fought Its way into
the last ditch, and now is scrambling IN the
slime of defeat, for what it knows not In
It's insane rage it cares not. The battle be-
tween the men who are trying to steal the
Presidency and the men who are trying to
save it from dishoDOr, was waged all day and
ill night. The filibuSterS turned the House OF
Representatives into den of wild beasts,
disgracing themselves and the name OF
the American Congress by Outrages on
parliamentary decOrum that seem almost be-
yond belief. This savage warfare was first
waged against the vote of Vermont in the hope
of being able to introduce Mr.. Hewltt'S cleo
toral certificate, and by thus sending another
case to the Commission to create an Oppor-
unity for Mr.. Fields quo worranto BILL In

secretly in their own hands. Men who would do
this would hardly hesitate to coLcOct Ohjec-
tions to their own electoral votes to make
delay. and this they actually attempted. 1t
was only the refusal reached in caucus of the
Democratic Senators to sign objections that kept
these desperate men from interposing obsta-
cles to the counting of the votes OF Virginia and
West Virginia-both Tilden States Both of
them were therefore counted, and the two
houses separated on the objections to Wiscon-
sin, which the Senate voted down without
debate, and about which the House, at latest
accounts, was still filibustering.-S that Mr..
Evarts was right, with the exception of a few
hours, in his prediction that Gov. Hayes would
be declared President yesterday. His accurate
prophecy is as clear proof as could he desired
of the foolishness of that Democratic per-
vcrsity which delayed but for few hours the
inevitable result.

There is action at last in the matter of ter

White Star Steamship Line, which asks per-

ting liquors are now cold
2. How many OF such places were there two
years ago!
8. What appears tobe the effect Of the liquor
legislation OF 1875 upon the drinking usages OF
your community?
4. Are there any places where liquors are
supposed to be sold without the payment Of the
state tax? III so. how many
5. Do those dealing in liquors give the bond
required by the State law!
6. How does the active interest in the tenn
perance cause compare with that of two years
ago?
z. What temperance organizations, il any,
exist in your midst!
These questions are pertinent, and il they
are sent to aud answered by impartial and in

accurate and fair answers, they will result in
the collection of much valuable information
bearing upon the liquor question.

Contrary to the usually accepted theory on
the subject, the hard times this winter, has not
resulted IN any great increase IN crime. On the
contrary the records of the large cities show
tbat tho number OF arrests is smaller than has
been usual. New York and Boston furnish
striking examples of this fact; in both cities
the pohce reports show falling of in the num-
bee OF arrests. Tbs fact is, the poor people
ueed ali the money they have to support them
seges aud cannot afford to get drunk-and
drunkenness is usual preliminary to crime

jcgtiov. Foote, OF Mississippi, a very able
constitutional lawyer, has addressed an open
Hotter 10 Representative Lamar on the powers
or Congress IN counting the Electoral vote.
We make On extract therefrom
That, on the pretext of counting votes the
certificates OF which are opened by the Presi-
dent OF the Senate, Congress can, in any mode,
GO behind the face OF these certificates and
proceed to look into all the facts connected
with the Presidential election with a view to
the detection OF alleged frauds in said appoint
mont of Electors by the States. or irregularities
Of come kind. and that in addition to this either
the Senate and House OF Representatives con-
Jointly, or either Of them, can then, at their
discretion. invalidate and set aside any part Of
the votes thus certified, and cause others to be
substituted in their place, / ALPHABETICALLY DE-
ryt and moreover contend that such action
would not only have no authority under the
Constitution, but would be gross and palpable
violation OF shat instruments daring and I'M
pardonable usurpation-whch, II submitted to,
would inevitably work q complete revolution in
our form OF government. Ii either House OF
Congress, by calling IN question or declining TO
approve the Electoral vote Of state, may de-
prve 1t OF q validity, and this terrible process
may I've repeated as often as either House de-
slre, then an election OF President by the peo-

Judge Halves attempted to get claim of
something over $500 allowed him for extra SER
vices, by the Board OF Supervisors at their last
session, but 1t very properly failed to pass We
do not blame the Judge for desiring larger
salary, but we very much doubt whether the
Board OF Supervisors have the authority to al
low any such claim IN the face OF the fact that
the law expressly stIpulates that the Circuit
Judge shall receive no other fees or perquisltes
than the salary guaranteed HIM by the Consti-
tuition.
There is one thing in connection with this
matter that we are sorry to notice, and that Is
that the local papers are trying to turn the at
fair to party account. The Republican papers
denounce the application and magnify it into
the grossest fraud, while the Democratic press
say it is all right and the money we'll earned,
and all this solely for the season that Judge

far removed as possible from political bias, and
any fault-fnding or commendation for mere
party reasons IS to be eprecated.-Bangor

We think the Reflector Is slightly mistaken in
it's remark that the local papers are trying to
turn the matter into party account" The TRUE
NoRrHERNER has not treated the salary ques-
ton from party standpoint, but has discussed
1t on the naked proposition Of the sufficiency Of
the salary. And further than this, when the
matter came before the Board Of Supervisors,
1t came there upon its merits alone, and did not
develop anything like party bias, so far a. we
know. 1t would be difficult to draw anything
like q party line on this matter, for the very
good reason that there are Democrats who are
s.renuously opposed to any increase, while there
are Republicans who are IN favor OF such an
increase, and UiCe Uersa.
