a VICTIM At LAST.

BE has been discovered and his name is
Tracy Metcalf. With valor worthy of a
better cause he consents to be the Republi-
can nominee for Mayor. The Republicans
nominated Metcalf because they wanted
to do something. They would have
preferred to have selected one of their own
party, but if all the Republicans decline they
may be excusable for accepting the services
of renegade Democrats.
The nomination scarcely needs serious
consideration. 1t is significant simply as
showing that a few stalwarts are resorting to
any kind of a scheme to obtain Republican
support. Mr.. Metcalf supported Tilden in
1876, since which time he may be said to
have politically "boarded around'' until he
might pass as local political tramp.
As politics can scarcely be said to enter
into the matter the local issue is the only
thing to consider. The Democrats will, OF
course, support Mr.. Dawson, as he is their
nominee, while Republicans having to choose
between two of the same political faith will
of course sustain Mr.. Dawson, who is &C.
knowledged to be superior to Mr.. Metcalf or
every local matter pending. The nomina-
ton is in reality farce and destroys al
hope of amusement from a contest.

APPEAL TO THE SUPREME COURT
One of the bones of contention between
the two parties in the present Congress
the jurors test oath-has been removed.
In deciding case that came before him
from Florida involving the validity of the
act, Justice Field, of the United States su-
preme court, declared that the law is uncon-
stitutional and void, and was only proper as
war measure in the insurgent States, but
when the war was over and the States re-
stored to their constitutional relations in the
union he said it was as unconstitutional and
as imperative as an act quartering soldiers
in houses in the Southern States would be.
He said that the law was not only unconsti-
tutional, but repugnant to our institutions.
Coming from the source that it does, this
opinion is an important one, and suggests a
way out of the difficulty that now besets
Congress and distracts the people. We have
never doubted but the jurors law, pre-
scribing particular oath to be taken in GER
tain cases, was unconstitutional, nor do we
doubt that the federal election laws as a
whole are equally unconstitutional, and would

The pine land ring are respondent. The
mission of Tom Lowry to Washington to
act with Washburn, elected for that purpose,
to secure suspension of the pending tres
pass suits, has failed, and it does look as if
some of the plunder would have to be re-
turned. When one thinks of the money
spent by the ring to secure Washburn's
election, and the cost of the frequent mis-
sions to Washington to assist him, the
chagrin of the ring at their failure is not to
be wondered at.

Some of the Provisions of the Bill that Has
Been FdUorabty Reported.
| Washington Special april 28) to CHICAGO
Tribune.
The House committee on coinage, to-day,
by strict party vote, agreed to favorably
report the bill known as the Warner bill,
relative to coinage and coin bullion certifi-
Gates. It is the intention of the committee
to force action on this bill if possible. The
bill proposes to amend the revised statutes
as to coinage in important particulars. The
word dollar, or mint, is substituted for trade
dollar in the section relating to silver coin,
and the weight of the dollar is fixed at 41211a
grains troy, instead of 42O. Provision is
made that when the silver dollars are re-
duced in weight by natural abrasion more
than 1 per cent. below the standard weight
they shall be recoined. The law as to the
deposit of silver bullion is amended, so that
any depositor may have it coined into stand
ard dollars as we'll as bars, but no amount
less than 800 is to be received.
The law is further changed 80 tina silver
coins of less denominations than 81 shall be
paid out to the extent they may be required
in exchange for gold coins, standard silver
dollars, or United States notes at par in
sums not less than $5, and silver coins of a
less denomination than ST., when presented
are to be received in exchange for money OF
full legal tender value, in sums not less than
800. The legal tender of subsidiary coin
age is thus increased from SIS to 500.
That section relative to the deposit of
gold coin and bullion is amended 80 as to
make it mandatory on the secretary of the
treasury to receive such deposits. Under
the present law the secretary is only author
lied, and by implication may refuse.
The lawsis also changed so as to make coin
and bullion certificates receivable at par for
all dues of the United States, including i'm
portations.
The bill forbids the coinage of coin of
smaller denominations than 81, and has a
section that after the passage of this act the
President shall signify to such foreign gov
ernments as he may deem advisable that the
United States 1s ready to cooperate with
other nations in the establishment of a COM
mon ratio between gold and silver.

a Chance for an Ugly Issue Bet,veen the
State Courts of kentucky and the Federal
Tribunals.
Louisville Special to Chicago Tribune.
In October, 1878, F. M. Ramsey, a special
bailif of the United States court, shot and
killed, in Warren county, Joseph Lightfoot,
for whose arrest for violation of the revenue
laws he held warrant. 1t was charged that
the killing was wholly unwarranted, and
Ramsey was arrested by tho Warren county
authorities. He promptly swore out a writ of
habeas corpus before Judge Ballard, who OF
dered his discharge from custody. At the
succeeding term of the Warren circuit court,
held in January, 1879, the grand jury re-
turned an Indictment for murder against
Ramsey, and bail-writ was issued for his
arrest, and forwarded to the Sheriff of JEFF
ferson county, who executed the same by ar
resting Ramsey. A second time he appealed
to the federal court on a writ of habeas
corpus. On the 9th of April the matter
came on for hearing, and Judge Ballard
crused an order to be entered whereby he
declared the detention and arrest illegal, and
ordered the prisoner discharged. Saturday
last Ramsey, having returned to Bowling
Green, was re-arrested on the same charge,
end taken before Judge Culaver, of the
Warren court of common pleas. His coun-
sci made motion for his discharge, which
was overruled by the court, and the prisoner
ordered confnel in Jail, where he now is
The question is narrowed down to q
| direct issue between the State and federal
| courts, and it remains to be seen which will
prove most powerful. OF course, third
writ of habeas corpus will be issued, and
Judge Ballard, it is fair to presume, will rule
as heretofore, and order the discharge OF
Ramsey. When the circuit court of Warren
county again assemblies, the indictment viii
be called in its regular order, and, should the
defendant not appear, the judge will be
forced to order bail-writ issued, and, il
Ramsey be again arrested he will only have
to apply to the federal court and receive pro
lection. 1t is a novel and a vexatious ques
ton, but out of it may grow good, in the

and otherwise, of State and federal courts o.

be so decided if brought properly before the
supreme court. No constitutional power re-

be so decided if brought properly before the
supreme court. No constitutional power re-
sides in the federal government to appoint
supervisors of election or to designate United
States marshals to act as police officers at
the polls. The conduct of all elections be-
longs exclusively to the several States, and
to take it from them is a wanton usurpation
of power. While this question has been
before subordinate courts several times, and
the federal statutes have been upheld, we are
convinced that if it was properly presented
to the supreme court different decision
would be rendered. The gentlemen who
compose the court are not active partisans,
although majority are nominally Republi-
cans. They do not depend upon either
party for continuance in Office, and there
full enough to sway their decision in the mat
ter.
If the efforts of the Democrats in Congress
to repeal the obnoxious laws at the present
session fail, we would counsel resort to the
supreme court for the purpose of determin-
ing judicially the mooted questions. There
are cases that can be brought up to test the
validity of each and every one of the laws,
and they ought to be presented to that tri-
bunal at the earliest possible moment. The
constitution is explicit as to the invasion of
any State by the military, and without dis
regarding that instrument entirely, the court
could not decide otherwise than in favor OF
! the Democratic position. AS to the control
of elections, it is clear that the constitution
vests the central government with no au-
thority, and as it is especially provided that
all powers not especially delegated to the
general government are reserved to the States
respectively, it is difficult to see how the
court could do otherwise than pronounce
these obnoxious and despotic laws unconsti
tutional and void.
In speaking of the appointment of super
visors of election at Cincinnati last fall, tn,
GLOBE counselled this course-a resort tt
the supreme court. We had faith then tina
the law would be declared void and of n,
effect; the same faith abides with us now
While it would be preferable to abrogate th
laws by enactment of Congress, the sam
results can be obtained by judicial process
No harm can come from the test, at an
rate, and it ought to be made, and that with
out delay. Let an appeal be taken from M,
Hayes to the supreme court.
