The Poll Tax.

1t will he remembered that some
Weeks ago three citizens of Charles
ton refused TO pay tnrir poll tax and
the case was brought before Trial
Justice Tickling who, after trial had,
sentenced them to pay o fine of ten
dollars or be imprisoned thirty days.
An appeal was carried to the Circuit
Court on the ground that the tax was
debt and it was contrary to The
constitution to imprison q man for
debt. Jadgc Hudson, on last Mon
day, while delivering his decision
said: ''Ihis t: Y is not Il debt in the
ordinary or legal sense Of the word.
1t is no. matter OF contract. 1t
arises neither &C contractu nor ea dclic-
to. 1t is simply demand made OF
its citizens by the State to bring for
ward each his share toward the main
tcnancc and support Of the govern
ment, which demand the citizens has
no option nor choice in responding TO-,
but, if rccusant, can be compelled to
obey by all the sovereign powers of
the land" This decision is SO much
in accord with public sentiment on
the question, that it is thought the
matter will not be carried to the Su-
prcmc Court.

The Wool Market.

Boston. May 29.-The wool market is
dull; manufacturers are holding of in
the present uncertainty regarding the
future prospects Of trade in goods, with
scarcely any demand for new goods,
and with old contracts being thrown ny
whenever reasonable excuse can he
found for doing so. Manufacturers are
not inclined to purchase, but are simply
keeping quiet, and hence the small
sales and continued decline in prices.
During the past week the sales Of Cal
ifornia woods amounts to only 10,0Oe
pounds Of new spring at SOC, and 5000
pounds at SAC. The sales of the week
aggregated 1,Oo6, 800 pounds, of which
$500 were domestic.

New York. May 20. = Notwith-
standing the asserted confidence Of
Grants friends In his nomination
at Chicago, II Is evident that they
anticipate failure unless they win ON
the first ballot. Hence every effort Is
making 10 secure the latter. The anxi-
ETY. on the subject is intense among all
parties and classes. 1t is noticeable
that the opposition to Grant is based
almost exclusively on considerations Of
policy, and not personal hostility such
as tile democratic revolt against Tilden.
This grows clearer daily US the decisive
hour approaches.
The Grant managers here intend, II
successful, to nominate Stewart l..
woodford for the second place, but It is
considered doubtful In any event that
New York can take the vice-presidency
again this year.
While no bolt at Chicago is antici-
pated II Grants nomination is fairly
effected, 1t Is apparent to-day that such
II bolt is almost certain should Cameron
and his friends resort TO unfair means
for getting the preliminary control Of
the convention and use the power OF the
machine organization 10 defeat the true
expression Of the party will.
The rumor Is revived. with marked
circumstantiality. that Tilden Is to be
nominated at Cincinnati, with the un-
derstandlng that he Is to decline, and
that then Payne, Of Ohio, Is to be the
winning dark horse and take care Of
Tilden's friends. OF course the story
cannot be verified, but many shrewd
democrats profess to accept 1t Us true.

AT LAST.
END OF THE wHrTraKER casE
EfindInEs OF the Court signed by all
the Me.abers-Whittak Under
AFrest-ProbabIe Future
Proceedings

West Point, May 29.-The court Of
inquiry In the case Of Cadet Whitaker
met in secret session to-day, and agreed
upon a final report signed by all the
members. The conclusions are:
!. The court is unable TO believe that
such slight wounds rs Cadet Whitaker
received eouli be inflicted by persons
In the manner and under the circum-
stances described by him.
2. II does not see why man with
his surroundings and in his condition
aud frame Of mind, as shown by his
own evidence, should have submitted
to an assault such as is alleged, with
out summoning assistance during the
assault. or Immediately thereafter.
). II believes that n person tied rs he
WAS, and left rs he claims to have been,
could readily have released himself.
4. From the testimony of the post
surgeon and others, the court is CON-
PEELED to believe that Cadet Whitaker
was neither asleep nor. insensible when
he was examined on the morning of
April 9th, but was feigning.
o. The court is not able TO discover
any motive that any person other than
Cadet Whitaker could have had In
making such an assault, and there Is no
evidence whatever TO warrant the belief
that any other person did it.
6. It believes that the hair cutting,
flesh cutting and binding. could all
have been accomplished by Cadet Whit
taker himself.
z. The theory that the note OF warn.
ing IS an imitation Of Cadet whitta-
ker's handwriting Is untenable. The
severe tests to which the experts In
handwriting were subjected, and their
positive testimony. place It beyond
doubt that Cadet Whitaker himself
wrote the note of warning, and there
fore is not ignorant OF the person or
persons engaged In the affair. The lat
ter conclusion is strengthened by the
fact that one-half Of the sheet OF paper
on which this note is written was found
In Cadet Whittaker's possession. From
the strong array Of circumstantial evil
dence, from the testimony Of the ex-
perts In handwriting, and from the
conflicting statements OF Cadet whitta-
ker and the lack OF veracity evinced by
him in certain cases during the investi-
CATION, as shown by the evidence, the
court Is OF opinion that the imputation
on the character Of Cadet Whitaker,
referred to in the order convening the
court, and contained in the official re-
ports Of the commandant of cadets and
post surgeon is fully sustained.
When the report was sent Gen. Scho-
field and read by him, he caused letter
to be addressed to Col. Lazelle, CON-
mandant Of the corps of cadets, direct
ing the arrest Of Whitaker, and plac.
ing him in confinement in his room.
The order was promptly carried out
and Whitaker will remain under ar
rest until the case is disposed OF, and
a guard will keep him under surveil.
