privilege. ,''.a '''
When We consider tho meaning OF
these terms, and reflect upon the i'm
portant object sought to be accomplish
ed by this constitutional provision, so
essential not only to the Unrestricted
trade and Intercourse, between the
States, but even to the liberties and
highest privileges of the citizens OF a
common country, we are bound to con-
ctude that a requirement of State law
that discriminates 50 glaringiy against
citizens of other States and in favor OF
the citizens Of its own State, is design
ed to defeat the objects and purposes
which this wise constitutional proyi-
sion was intended to secure, and there
fore violates its letter and spirit.
Nor is this a new question; for we
find we are supported in this conclusion
by the highest authority. Cooley in
his work on Taxation, page 81, says
tsThe federal constitution prescribes
that the citizens of each State shall be
entitled to all the privileges and i'm
munities of citizens of the several
States. Among these privileges is that
Of being exempt in other States from
higher taxes or imposftions than are
paid by the citizens of such other
States. Under this provision, while it
Is entirely admissible to levy taxes up
on the business and property Of non
resident traders within the State, it is
not competent to require them to take

the purpose and they have tendency

It has been held by the Supreme
Court of the United States that the
clause of the fctler raj constitution re-
ferred to "rclievcs citizens from the
disabilities of alienage in other States.
1t insures to them in other states the
same freedom, privileges and immun-
tiles possessed by the citizens Of those
States in the acquisition and enjoy
ment of property and secures to them
tho equal protection of their laws in
their lawful pursuits" Paul vs.. Vir-
ginia, 8 Wall, 1853; Ward VS.. Maryland,
IL Wall, 41s; Corfiefd VS.. COyeff, 4
Washington G! g., 37l-3s0.
And again: The main object of this
clause was to prevent each State from
discriminating in favor of It's own peo-
pie or against those of any other. 1T
secures not only absolute equality of
rights and privileges with every citi-
zen of each State, but all such privi-
leges and iinmunitfes in any State as
are by the laws and constitution thereof
secured and extended to her own peo-
pie ofthe same class" Davis vs.. Pierce

Dear, Strive desire the following
inserted in Trenton column. T..
owe frequently see statements in
the newspapers that important legisla-
ton is delayed, and sometimes de-
feated, by there being no quorum, or
that the Republicans break the quorum
by refusing To vote. IT the Democrats
have a majority how can this happen?
If they are ut their posts how can such
assertions he made? Why don't the
Democratic papers publish the list of
delinquent voting members, aud let
the people know whom it will do to trust
in guarding the interests Of tho South,
and more especially the interests Of
their constituents. The Democratic
party can be truthfuily informed that
the present representative, Mr.. King,

Western IfOrso Thieves.

The favorite mode Of running Off horses
Is thus described: Two Of the gang enter a
settlement where there are good horses and
hire themselves ont as farm hands and 20
to work. After working while they
leave tho neighborhood or 60 to work for
parties owning good horses. BY this means
they learn the habits of the owners and the
location of the coveted horses. Within a
few days after they leave the place or
neighborhood raid is made upon the sta.
bic, and the coveted horses disappear.
thieves seldom run their stock to towns or
stations where railroad or telegraph lines
can reach them. They ruin their stock
over lines seldom travelled, and as the gang
is very large the same men seldom 60 more
than one or two stages before changing
horses, and return to the ncighborhood of
the theft to take notes and spread false re-
ports TO mlslcad pursuit. Lawrence relates
one instance of horse stolen IN Fremont
county, Iowa. passing through nineteen
hands, all Of them members of tho gang,
before 1t was sold in Sherman, Texas. In
some places in Western Missouri, Arkansas
and Iowa and in Eastern Kansas there arc
farms kept open for the special benefit of
the gang. These are generally In remote
districts, far from the main road, and where
horses can be fed, doctored and disguised
for safe sale.
