An IMPORTANT DECISION.

In our Washington dispatches will be found
the outline of a decision recently maue
by the United States Supreme Court
which is considered by MIR. Justice
Bradley as calculated to introduce evils
"of great magnitude that will ultimately
"lead TO the recognition of the war-debts OF
the seeding States" This announcement
might be looked upon as sensational
coming from any one but Judge
of that high court whose calm anu
dispassionate treatment OF even po'i'""'
questions has been. in times past, the au-
miratlon of the world.
The case is simple one. Inc Dahh Vi
Tennessee, organized more than twenty years
before the Civil War, issued notes when the
State agreed, by a clause in the banks charter,
to receive for taxes. The notes issued during
the supremacy Of the Confederacy. how
ever. were declared void by the Consul
tuition adopted at the reconstruction OF inc
State, and q collector OF taxes VINO re-
fused to receive them was maze the
defendant in this suit, the paintlh claim
ING that this Constitutional Amendment
was itself void. The Supreme Court mas
nothing in the record to show that these notes
were issued in aid of the rebellion, and moth
inc from which q presumption TO tins eject
can be properly drawn, and decides:
first. that the Constitutional Amendment
declaring these notes void, is OF no
effect, because it impairs the obligations OF
contracts second, that the State OF Iehnes-
see has always, since its first admission INTO
the Union, been the State OF Tennessee. us
secession did not, according to the opinion OF the
majority, interfere with 'Irs perpetual sue
"cession and perpetual identity" Not only
"is il the same body polite now, but 1t
"las always been the came; 1t has
"not only been all this zine a
estate, and the same State. but 1t has
"always been one of the United States,
Estate of the Union" Referring especially
to the share of the State IN the rebellion, the
majority say 1T never escaped the obliga-
" tons of that Constitution, though for awhile
" it may have ended their enforcement"
Against the views Of the majority, the Chief
Justice, Mr. Waite, Justice Bradley and JUS
tice Harlan enter emphatic protests, urging
that the banks of the rebcllIous dis
trcts were unquestionably used in fnrtherance
of the instruction. and denying that the acts
of n rebellious State are binding on a recon-
suuCleu oldtc' Inc shldil approximation vi
Democrats on the bench fOrbids the suspicion
of political bias in this decision, If
any should be disposed to harbor it. But the
warning which has been uttered by one of the
minority of the Court will arouse no little fore
bodng, and will increase the dread of the
people of the North at the possibility that
political party which might take undue adj
vantage of such a decision may obtain pos
session of the National Government.

In traffic on all routes has been much greater.
These facts assuredy should put an end 10
croaking. The year 1873 was ore OF extraor-
binary activity in business; its operations Iar
exceed those of any previous year in quantl-
ties produced and transferred. The year 1910
will be remembered as the worst and most
trying of the long period of prostratlon' LOT
prices already begin to rise and business TO
recover But the worst year after the panic
has witnessed traffic larger by at least one

Central y; y, Erie. c a; al, Total.

The movement for the year 1873 was much
the largest then ever known, and yet it is
surpassed during the past year by $4,000
tons, or 4l2 per cent. Yet these figures by no
means show the enormous increase which has
really occurred in quantities transported. For
the movement by the Pennsylvania road has
also increased largely; the Grand Trunk of
Canada has gained over 80 per cent, and the
Baltimore and Ohio, since the completion of
its line to Chicago, has taken a large
amount of freight formerly taken by
other routes, having increased its through
tonnage nearly 100 per cent since 1878. In
another respect, moreover, the naked figures of
tonnage are misleading They do not dstin-
guish between tho short local Traffic, which
depends mainly upon the growth of Eastern
towns, and therefore increases but slowly,
and the through traffic, which is not
only more important to railroads, but
indicates more correctly the general in
crease or decrease in the greater commerce
of the country. For this reason, the COM
parsOn of distance as well as tonnage-the
number of tons moved one mile-by the chief
lines of transportation, affords altogether the
better test Thus it will appear that.the Erie,
though transporting fewer tons in all, has
transported much larger freight from West
to East and from East TO West than ever be-
fore, 80 that its number Of tons moved one mile
has greatly increased. Exact figures of mileage
by the canals for the last year are moi yet
published. but they may easily be estimated
from the fact that the average movement of
vegetable food was, in the last year following
a full harvest. 291 miles Of merchandise,
1875 miles, of coal and " other articles" 1916
miles of manufactures, 1872 miles of forest
products, 131 miles, and of animal
food, 100 miles. If these figures, which
represent the actual transportation of
each class of freight i'll 1878, apply
also to the movement of this year,
the aggregate has been 1,O3O. 10000
tons moved one mie-an estimate which prob
ably will not vary widely from the oflicia. re-
turn. The following shows the movement by
each route in 1878 and 1878, Tor years end
ing September 30 on the railroads, and with
the close of navigation on the canals

The Solid South is in good deal of a quandary
about its programme for 1880. The whole section
is united on only one principle, to succeed at any
cost and with any man. SO soon as talk about the
strongest man begins, then the dscOrd appears.
South Carolina stands alone IN fayorlng hard
money alliance with the East, with Bayard for
candidate. Georgia is in favor of Tilden, with
platform of any principles which can be guaranteed
to catch the most votes. Nearly all the other
States favor soft money man like Thurman or
Hendricks, and Western alliance. The weakness
of the latter programme is easily apparent to every
ono except the buIdozers who seem to think that
because tissue-ballOts and rife-cluhs make Solid

traOrdinary trial and strain, though the con-
tinued decline of prices threatened, even until
the year had nearly closed. to extinguish
all profits and to deprive industry
of any fair reward, yet so small a
proportion of the people have been crippled
in business, denied employment, or seriously
pinched in expenditure, that the business of
the country in 1873 has been greater than in
any preceding year of its history. OF this
fact. very interesting proof is given in the
returns of freight transportation 10y the chef

The increase in five years has been 81 per
cent. But the increase III population during
the same period, if it has been fully as rapid
rs il is estimated to he by Mr.. Elliott. the
s.atistician of the Census Bureau, has been
only - per cent Hence the traffic of the
country has increased more than twice as fast
as the population. But this estimate, be it
remembered, wholly excludes allowance for
