Iuceud,srisun at Marshallsen.

WEST CHESTER, Aug. 4.-The town OF
Marshailton, four miles from here, was
thrown into quite an excitement tins
morning, by the breaking out Of i've
fires in different parts OF the town, and
within q few minutes Of each other.
Four barns, with their contents, and the
shedding at the Friends Meeting House
were destroyed.
The attempt was made to fire two
other stables and the village wheelwTiSht
shop by the free use Of coal oil. There
Ia no clue to the ince ndisry.
The losers are Charles T.. Smith, loss
$500, insured for $3.50; George Maxton,
$500; Bradford Friends Meeting, $500;
Jacob Fisher, loss about 5000; iusu-
rance, $500; Pierce Rodebaugh, loss $500;
insurance, $3.50. Marshal Fell lost .
Workshop aud grapery. A ball found In
the wheeiwright shop Of James Guthrie
reveal led the manner in which the fire
was started. IL was mane OF cotton
compactly packet and saturated with
coal oil and gly cerine, and into the cen
tire Of which ran 4 fuse or slow match
| About this ball was wrapped several
successive coverings of WOODEN arme sts
| also thoroughly saturated with oil. The
incendiaries are evidently parties famil

rUEaDAY, AUGUST ., 1879

VIZ SHALL BE very glad to have the
aid Of the Republican in any efforts tha'
NAV be made to secure an improvement
on the Delaware river in front OF the
city. The government has never been
.,ked to do anything there, notwithstand-
ing It has an important light station just
within the mouth of the Christiana.
One of the needs there now is couple OF
stone piers to protect the entrance to the
Christiana, and render vessels safer in a
harbor at its mouth. These piers would
form two excellent abutments for bridge
to a wharf where vessels going up and
down the river could land freight or pas
sengers. If the Republican will join IN
the recommendations of such needed
improvements as may be asked for by
the City Council it is presumed 1t will
have some weight with the Republicans
in the House and Senate; and therefore
enable the Democrats to say that the
Improvement is desired by both political
parties. We do not know what the
Council will ask for; but We presume
whatever it does will be done after care
full consideration, and we shall be most
happy TO Join our aid to secure anything
that looks to the benefit Of the future O
Wilmington. We are fairly convinced
that a road to the river and good whar
there will bring more retail buyers T.
our city merchants than either Of tn
railroads that now enter the town. Th
people from the lower part Of the Stat
and New Jersey who now go to Phila
delphia in the river steamers would sto
here in preference, because they woul
save at least from five to eight hour
and be able to buy all they wanted an
return to their homes without being al
sent over night at an extra expense an
loss of another day. The Republica
Congresses have not been liberal wit
Democratic States. And we don't r
member that Wilmington ever receive
much in Mr.. Clayton's day. The Gu
tom House and Post-office here h
always been attributed mainly to t
efforts of the late Hon. Geo. Reed Ri
die.

contempt for the opinions Of four-hiths

can hardly suppose that so intelligent a

uninformed on this great question. Still
it might have been. Stranger things have

Important Decision.

WAsuINaToN, March 81 An opinion
Of Importance to oil holders OF dishunored
tnunicip, bonds, and the one which is dc
cisive Of certain class Of onscs was rendered
10 the Supreme Cout to-day, in the cuse Of
Morris RaDgor against the city Of New Or.
leans. Tho litigation arose out Of an oppIi-
cation for writ Of mandamus to compel the
authorities Of that city to levy o tax to pay
certain judgments rendered against it upon
bonds issued to the New Orleans, Jackson
aud Great Western R,ilroad Company.
The city set up as defense that there vas
no legislative authority for the levy Of such
Il tax. The petitioner dcmurred to this
! answer, but the Circuit Court overrulcd the
demurrer and denied the writ whercupon
the petitioner took this appeal The cour.
below proceeded on the principle thu. the
power Of taxation belongs exclusively to the
Legislative branch of the governmc t, aud
that the judiciary cannot direct tax to be
levied when none is authorized by the Lcgis-
laturc. This court holds, 10 q careful
opinion, delivered by Justice ficid, that
although the power Of taxatioo is o lcsisla.
ivo prerogativc, it may be delegated to
municipal corporation, aud that when such
a corporation is created, the power of taxa
ton is vested in it as nn essential attribute
for all the purposes Of its existence, unless
its exercise is in express terms prohibited.
When, therefore, authority 10 borrow
money or incur an obligation to curry out
any public object is conferred upon mum
cipal corporation, the power to levy tax
for its payment or tho discharge of the
obligation accompanies, and this, too, with
out any mention that such power is granted.
1t is always to be assumed, 10 tho absence of
clear restrictive provisions, that when the
Legislature grants to city the power to
create debt, it intends that the city shull
pay it, and that its payment shall not bo
left to its caprice or pleasure. Whenever
a power to contract q debt is conferred, it
must be held thut corresponding power of
providing for its payment is also conferred.
The latter is implied in tho grant of the
former, and such implication cannot bo
overcome except by express words of limi-
tatiop. In tho present case the iudcbt-
ness Of tho city of New Orleans is conclu-
sively established by the judgments rcco-
vered. Owing the debt, the city had the
power to levy tax for it's payment, aud it
was clearly its duty to do so. Tho pay.
n,ent was not q matter resting on its pleas.
ure. but duty to the creditor, aud having
neglected that duty, mandamus should
have boen issued to enforce its Observance.
Tho judgment of tho lower court must
therefore, be reversed, and the cause re.
manded without directions to issue the writ
in compliance with tho petition.
