Another Railroad Case.

We publish this morning the opinion OF
the Supreme Court OF the United states "a. az
pronounced by Chief-Justice WAITE ID an-
other important railroad case. This decl'
sion and opinion serve to expand those
which we have heretofore published. nc
meaning, not Of this one especially but OF
NJ, Of them taken together is that inasmuch
as It is necessary to have supplies and ope-
ratives in order TO the successful working
Of a railroad, those supplies must be paid
for and those operatives paid 10 preference
to debts secured by mortgage, &c. But
this one is varied by the additional decision
that II the seller retains lien upon the pro-
perty sold and holds and exercises the riso'
TO take it back, he has no lien upon any
other property OF the railroad company AM
his claim is subordinated to that OF the mort
page boudholders. The syllabus Is SIN
GUAR one, considering the nature OF the
opinion. We copy from the Chicago Legal
Mems. whose editor wrote the syllabus.

conflict with each other. and which VIII

order to have the matter settled, several
large dealers have employed Mr. }. ii. 10
binson to proceed to Richmond to see the
Auditor, and endeavor to obtain from the
Attorney General an. opinion as TO the
proper construction Of the sections in dis.
pute. fy one section Wholesale and retail
dealers are required to pay license OF
S2l0, while the other section imposes tax
Of S3lO.-Norfoit Ledger.
Oh, no. The wholesalc-and-retail liquor
dealer has to pay s25o-that is, $3.50 for bis
wholesale license and 500 for his retail
license. The retail dealer pays but sso.
So that II a dealer should take out the retaii
dealers license first, and afterwards the
wholesale license, he might think tna1 ne
would bave to pay only s2lo. But the Au-
ditor had considered this point two weeks
ago, and Will no doubt constrhe the law to
mean that wholesac-and-retail dealer must
nav, $3.50, without regard to which license
he obtains first.

The state Debt.

Editors Dispatch: 1t is often claimed
that history repeats ITSELF l think it
may be Justly claimed hereafter politics
does the same. Before the congressional
elections last fall set Of Candidates sprung
I'D all over the country clamorous for the
repeal OF the resumption act, and many
candidates succeeded in securing their cleo
ton TO Congress on that issue, and before
the election resumption was practically at
tanned, end the resumption OF spece-pay-
ments went into effect on the 1st OF last
January so quietly that it seemed to escape
the notice OF the men elected TO repeal the
law. "
In the same manner we have now in this
State lot Of politicians who are try ing TO
secure the election OF Legislature to re-
peal the law for the reimbursement OF the
State debt. and before they assemble in De-
cember next, or even before they assemble
in November, the bondholders will baYe
accepted the compromise, have their new
bonds, and the question will be practically
and in fact settled. Win the 'scales fall y
from the eyes OF the people, that they may
see men and things as they are before they
shake eff the mortal coil II We hope so.
