WASHINGTON, D. c., April l4.-supreme
Court decision No. 2OS. Wheeling, Par.
kersburg & Cincinnati Transportation
Company, plaintiff in error, VS.. City Of
Wheeling, in error to the Supreme Court
Of Appeals Of the State OF West Virginia.
This is an action for the recovery Of taxes
paid under protest by plaintiff in error to
the City of Wheeling, upon four steamboats,
owned by it and plying upon the Ohio
river between Wheeling and Cincinnati.
The plaintiff in error denied the right Of a
State to impose taxes on such vessels, and
argued that such taxation was in violation
OF the Constitutional provision that mo
State shall lay any duty of tonnage" This
Court holds that the taxes levied in this
case are not duties of tonnage within the
meaning Of the Constitution, and that the
enrolment Of a ship or vessel under the
laws of the United States does not exempt
its owner from taxation thereupon as per-
sonal property. The judgment of the low
er court is affirmed, with costs.

Our Circuit Court closed late on satur-
day evening, making full three weeks
term, and now our County Court comes
on as an afterpiece, but It is generally the
custom to close with comedy or farce.
The best thing in the way OF attending
court, we have heard OF, was one Of the
jurors trying to get the privilege Of remain
ing over during the term OF the County
Court OF couse he did not mean it unless
he thoughtas he now had his hand in as n
juror It would do well to follow it for
some time.
Our County Court is bad enough but

THE uAzEN.srANLEx CASE.
The Testimony Resumed-was Haxen In
HIS Proper Place at the Hattie OF

AAe testimony HeAumed-Waa HNEen In
HIS Proper Place at the battle or
Shiloh.
New York, April l4.-The defense was
begun to-day in the Hazen-Stanley case
at Department headquarters. Gen. s. l..
Crittenden was the first witness. He said
his division at the battle of Shiloh formed
on the right Of Gen. Nelson's, and there
was fighting when he got there. The bat
tie ended about 8 o'clock, and the Conied-
crates retired. Gen. Nelson asked him If
he had said anything in his report about
Gen. Hazen, and witness replied that he
had nothing to do with Hazen; that the
latter belonged to Nelson's division, Wit
ness was asked il Hazen's misconduct
was frequently discussed in Buell's army
after the battle OF Shiloh. He replied that
he could not say misconduct, but he heard
that Hazen was back at the landing when
the battle was going on. An officer told
witness that Hazen had been seen there;
witness heard no insinuations from any Of
the officers about Hazen's not being in his
proper place. Witness was present al
the Belknap trial when Hazen was wit
ness, and his examination was discussed
by the officers. The question being asked
witness as to the impression produced on
the officers minds by the testimony given,
the court went into executive session, the
Judge Advocate obiecting TO the question.
Tho court decided to admit the question,
and witness answered that he did not re-
member what impression was produced.
No other witnesses being present specif-
cation six was taken up.
