A HARTFORD Comm man had a fall
and was rendered insensible. After
being taken home a surgeon discovered
a slight wound in his body, close by the
heart, and thought the man had been
either stabbed or shot. A few days
later, however, small pieces of black
lead began to come out of the wound,
and it was then concluded that, in
falling, the point of a lead pencil which
the man had in his vest pocket had
penetrated the body. Probing, later,
brought out little wood The
surgeons, who had watched the case
with much interest, then used the knife,
and, to their astonishment, whole lead
pencil, which had been sharpened but
once, was extracted. 1t was five and
three-eighths inches long, and the wood
was split in two. 1t had been COM

STATE OBLIGATIONS.
TEST CASE IN THE SUPREME COURT.

TEST CASE IN THE SUPREME COURT.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-An original bill has
been filed in the United States supreme court
by the State of New Hampshire against the
State of Louisiana ct al, setting forth that the
authorities of the latter State, under The pro-
visions of the new constitution, adopted in
1879, are about to use the proceeds of the tax
levied for 1879, under the act of 1874, to de-
fray the expenses of the State government in
stead of devotipg said proceeds, as they
should devote them, to the payment
of the principal and interest
the consolidated bonds issued by the State un-
der the law known act of the statute of 1874.
The bill further sets forth that the State of
New Hampshire is the owner of six of said con-
solidated bonds, and prays the court that the
provisions of the new constitution of Louisi-
ana, in 80 far Jas s.hey conflict with the con
tract expressed in said bonds, and in the act of
1874, under which they were issued, may be adj
judged void and unconstitutional as impairing
the obligation of contract. The
bill also prays for a writ of injunction to re-
strain the State officers of Louisiana from
using the proceeds of said taxes for any other
purposes than those specified in said act No.
of statutes.

BAYARD,S SPEECH.

SIr. Bayard has relieved himself of his
great speech on the subject of demonetizing
the greenbacks, and the dispatches give
very fair resume of the points it covers. In
point of oratorical merit it lacks nothing; in
point of correct reasoning it lacks in many
essential particulars. He argues at great
length that the only genuine money is gold
and silver coin, and that paper is no. money
in any respect, but simply substitute for it
which nobody should be obliged to accept in
discharge of any legal obligation. He ad-
mits, however, that paper currency has its
uses, but claims that those uses SHOULD be
determined by the convenience of the pub
lie. In this respect he is partly right.
Paper currency is an essential part Of the
monetary system of all civilized nations.
Without 1t the ordinary transactions of
trade cannot go forward. The nearer such
currency approaches the coin standard of
value the more stable and prosperous does
the country become, and the less liable is
trade to sudden and disastrous crises that
bring ruin and bankruptcy to SO many thou
sands of business men. 1t should be the aim
Of the government, therefore, to do sill in its
power to maintain the value of the paper
circulation of the country SO as to avoid all
possibility of loss to its citizens.
The question of whether the government
should issue the paper currency or not, or
delegate it to corporations composed of pri-
vate individuals, is matter of opinion. Ar
guments for and against either system are
plentiful. The chief argument in favor of
government issues is the fact that the credit
of the entire nation is pledged to
the redemption Of the notes,
and this inspires public confidence
and in reality gives to it an intrinsic value
that no currency issued by private corpora
tions can under any circumstances possess.
Any effort, therefore, to depreciate that cur
rency is direct assault upon the business
prosperity of the country, and will be GER
tain to prove disastrous. We regard Mr.. Bay
ards resolution, consequently, as designed
to overthrow the existing order of things,
promote uneasiness among our business
meu, and withdraw that public confidence
from our currency that is SO essential to its
value as a circulating medium. For these
reasons We regard tas ill-timed, ine1pedient
and impolitic. The debate upon its merits
is wholly unnecessary, for majority of both
houses of Congress have pronounced them
selves as opposed to any action whatever on
the question of the finances at this session,
and especially opposed to any such action as
is contemplated by the pending measure.

the small town can sit in his office and tap
the through lines that vibrate with the news
of the world and print it quickly and cheap
ly, then will come great expansion of the
opportunities, q wonderful enlargement of
the sphere, of the local papers. The day is
more than likely to be when a paper where
ever Published may at any minute have its
pick of the worlds information; and I think
know of editors of local sheets who would
like to stay in the flesh and in the business
till that day, if only for the sake of saying
to the metropolitan dailies, "We are every
bit as good as you.''
While the distinction is wide and marked
between the two classes of newspapers which
we may designate as the daily and the
weekly press, they are alike in atfording full
opportunity for the most unceasing industry
and the closest financiering. The days of
the lOahng, sponging, begging country edi
tor, the "iittle creature" 80 fully deserving of
all the contempt that has been poured on his
empty head, are passing away and his suc-
cessor is becoming recognized as a person of
fair literary attainment, at least ordinary
business capacity and the energy to keep his
paper fully up with the times, who asks no
charity, pays for what he gets and e1acts pay
for his own services, who constitutes an i'm
portant factor in the community and is the
representative of profession that, like any
other, renders full equivalent for all that it
receives.
The local paper may be made the highest
authority in all affairs most deeply interest
ing its readers, and the editor may make
himself, in many ways, the most influential
member of the community in which he lives.
Can any one ask sphere of greater useful
ness or one more worthy of the best type of
manhood?

THE LAST OF THE MIINE FI4SCO.


The supreme judicial court of Maine has
again been heard from. The result is pre-
cisely what the GLOBE predicted when the
Fusion legislature first proposed submitting
iHiarrogatories to that tribunal. While
holding that the questions are not properly
bsfore it by reason of the disqualification of
the parties submitting them, the court seizes
the opportunity they afford for the purpose
of delivering learned disquisition upon the
duties of citizenship, bearing great resem-
blancs to stump speech.
of being the sole and final judges of what
constitutes legal legislature in the State,
and proceed to administer severe rebuke to
those who have assumed to act as such Off
GERS in obeyance to the mandates of the con-
stitution and the laws, as interpreted on
previous occasions by itself and carried out
by the governor and his council. Rather
more of pique than judicial delib-
Grafton characteriZes the screod. The
court complains that the governor
and council disregarded the opinion of the
court, given in answer to the governors
questions, and omitted to revoke summons
illegally issued to the men who didn't
appear to be elected, or to issue summons 70
men who did appear to be elected. On this
account it proceeds to reprimand all those
who have had any voice in directing the
course of the Fusionists for what it denomi-
mates their illegal action.
Without assuming judicial functions, the
GLOBE would Ike 10 inquire where the su-
prema Judicial court of Maine derives its
authority to make an opinion as binding as
decision. When called upon for an opin-
ion by the proper authority the governor
aud council or the legislature-it is required
to give it, but in no sense is such an opinion
mandatory. It is simply advisory, and may
be totally disregarded by either the
governor or the legislature without involv-
ing them in the penalties prescribed for con-
tempt. The assumption, therefore, that the
previous opinion OF the court had anything
tous and unwarranted, if it is not open to
the criticism OF being Impairment.
We dismiss the Maine question finally. 1t
is very evident that tue occupants Of he
Supreme bench are politicians and partisans
rather than iurists. They assume functions
that do not properly belong to them. They
act upon facts that are not properly before
them, and this with partisan object in
view. The Fusionists have demonstrated
that they are not equal to an emergency
sush as that which has passed. They have
blundered hopelessly from beginning to end.
There has been no unity of purpose among
them. Their cause was just one, and they
possessed svery point of vantage. But they
have made laughing stock of themselves
from first to last, and have surrendered every
advantage they possessed. The history of
the county contains few records of such in
saae and impotent management.
