1t will be remembered that at the las
session o%fcongress a clause was inserted In
sundry civil appropriation bill for the pay
ment of s32,505 to Maj. Birkett, ex.agen,
of the Poncas. Maj. Birkett claimed this
sum as money advanced by him TO supper,
the Poncas when government appropris-
lions were short. His claim has induced
many wise shakes of the head and numer-
Gus knowing winks from the people of this
locality. who felt pretty certain that Biz
kett never had any such sum of money to
a1vante. 1t now transpi,e, that the adop.
ton of this clause in the appropriation bill
does not pass the money claimed into the
hands of Maj. Birkett. The second conn.
troller refuses to pay him unless he can
produce itemized vouchers to back 10 bis
claim. The attorney general sustains the
second comptroller in his decision and the
ex-agent of the Poncas finds that he will
not be permitted TO put his hand into the
national treasury.

to this change, are to be occupied BY q
sufficient number of Mormons to give the
required democratic population. A large
number OF Mormons have been ordered to
"emigrats" from Utah to Arizona and New
Mexico this fall and winter and many of
them have already obeyed the order. By

A Compelling PacIac Road

COuriCr.Journal.
The ferocious attacks Of tho Central
Pacific Orgaus on the Texa PAcific
railroad bill indicate their conviction
that the bill will be passed. There Is
good reason to believe this.
The Huntington bill, presented by
Mr. Money, providing for the transfer
of the land grant of the Texas Pacific
to the Southern Pacific (Olher wise Cen.
trAl Paci6c) can not command any con.
siderable support, as the measure is too
pSlpably the work Of the exlorionair
corporation which has already absorbed
millions Of public money aud coniesses
by its terms that II must be further
largely subsidized In order 10 build
into Arizona and get trade for San
Francisco. That is the object Of the
Money bill, and the South will derive
no benefit from II.
The Senate Committee on Pacific
Railroads In 1869 made q report, 10
which II was stated that "lhe Soulhern
States have the same rights that the
Middle States have, or The Northern
States. They have the right Of access
to the Pacific on their parallels Of laH-
tude. They have a right 10 their share
Of trans.conlinental commerce between
Asia and Europe. Norfolk, Charleston,
Savannsh, Mobile and New Orleans
can justly complain Of a Middle State
monopoly, which pourS all this inlerna-
tional traffic into New York and
Philadelphia. To the exert that
q Southern Pacific railroad will
stimulate the growth of Southern pro-
ducts, the Northern and Middle States
have each a direct interest 10 having 1t
constructed, and the prosperity of the
foreign commerce Of the United States
demands that It shall DO constructed.
That is what the advocates of the Texas
Pacific railroad now urge, and with
reason. The Central Pacific Company
has but one idea-that Of adding au-
other link to the facilities for perpet-
uating their trans.continental monopoly
aud Fxacting further tribute from the
business of the country. To do this they
propose TO wipe out the only h"pe for
competing tran. continental line which
will bring San Diego (whose harbor 10
the best on the Pacific cOasi) four hun.
dred and twenty-three miles nearer
New York, seven hundred and fifty
miles nearer Charleston, and twelve
hundred miles nearer New Orleans.
The Texas Pacific route IL Ave hundred
miles nearer TO China, Japan, and the
South Pacific islands than any other
II will never be obstructed by snow,
aud II traverses the richest mineral re-
giOn on the continent. The Central
Pacific understands these great advan-
IaRes, and every nerve is being strained
to drive the Texas Pacific of the field.

The most sAglcious dog Of all the ca.
nine tribe Of which tradition tells or

IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Louisiana Civil Rights Law Declared
Void by the Supreme Court Of the UaItsd

fused passage 10 the defendant on &C.
count of color, and this suit was
brought under the law of the State for
bidding discrimination by common

upon the public conveyance employed
In their business, equal rights and
privileges, without distinction on &C.
count OF race or color, and
Il is said that for this reason
the Court has nothing to do
with II as regulation ofinternal com.
meree or as affecting anything else
than commerce among tho States, and
as to this the Court says there can be no
doubt that exclusive power has been
conferred upon Congress. The difi.
Guilty has never been as 10 the exist.
ence Of this power, but as 10 what is 10
be deemed an encroachment upon Il.
aud II may be safely said that the State
legislaiion which seeks to impose a di.
rect burden upon Interstate COM
merce, or to interfere directly
with its freedom, encroaches upon the
exclusive power of Congress. The
statute 10 question occupies this posi-
tion. 1t does not act upon the buH.
ness through local instruments to be
employed after the vehicle of convey.
ance comes within the State, but direct.
ly upon business as 1t comes into the
State from without, or goes out from
within. While 1t puFporls only to con-
troll the carrier when engaged within
the STATE, II must necessarily influence
his conduct TO gome eXIant In tha man.
agement OF his business throughout his
entire voyage. Reversed.
The Supreme Court, in the case OF
Pennington VS.. Shelby county and State
OF Tennessee, reversed the decision.
This decision relieves the Union and
Planters Bank from other than IFS
charter taxes. They hold that the ex.
Cmption of the contract does not ex.
tend TO shares of the bank taxed as
property against individuals holding
them. -Four other like cases<are dis.
