DRUMMERs' LICENs Es.-The Su-
preme Court Of this State recently
rendered decision at Monroe de-
claring section IL of Act No. 119 Of
1880 unconstitutional. Act No. 119 is
tho law levying license taxes, and the
section mentioned reads thus:
And all travelling agents from other
States Offering any species Of merchan-
disc for sale or selling the same, shall
pay o license tax of twenty-five dollars
per month.
The courts decision was based
mainly upon the point that the sec
ton is violative 1T paragraph, !, sec
ton 2, article 4 Of the constitution Of
the United States, in that it makes Il
discrimination in favor of this State
against those Of other States. 1t has
been settled by tile Supreme Court Of
the United States that State, or an
incorporated town has right to re-
qnirc pcddlers, commercial drummcrs
and sewing machine agents to pay a
license, but there must be no such
discrimination in the tax as was
sought to be instituted by the section
Of Act No. ll9 above quoted.

Without regard to tile merits Of

bearers nominated by the rival par
tics, the CHIEF heal tily congratulates
its contemporaries, the Democratic
newspapers Of Louisiana, upon the
selection by the Cincinnati conven-
ton of the candidate who was their
almost unanimous choice for the Pres
idency. The sentiment Of the Demo-
cratic voters of this State was over
whelmingly for Hancock, as that Of
the Republicans was for Grant; the
Democratic press faithfully repre-
sentel the preference Of its party and
can now claim the credit of starting
the "bonm" that resulted in Gen.
Hancock's nomination.
