IT'S CAPITAL STOCK RIGHTLY TAXED

The United States Trust Company sued out
writs Of cerorar In the Supreme Court to review the
action Of the Tax Commissioners In assessing upa
It's capital stock for the year $780, It Was conteDdsd by
the company that the Act Of June, $780, providing Tor
the taxation Of It's real property wherever situated d.
reced aso that s capital stock should theresse BE-
empt from taxation except provided In the sct end
therefore that the assessments made by tho Comnssoa
for 1880 could not stand. Justice Beech at Special
Term yesterday, quashed tho wrtts He held that the
Yrts having been taken ont after the assessment pro-
ceedngs had terminated these proceedings had thereby
passed beyond the reach of Judicial procedure He
said that the company not exempted from payment
OF these taxes for $780, because the exemption OF A6
covered only such assessments made Eabse

Pleading the Baby Act.

The doughty Bourbons, who so lorded
it in the Senate two years ago that they
proclaimed through Senator Salisbury, of
Delaware, that they were alone response
bic for legislation, and that no Republican
need 50 much as offer to amend any prop
osition, arc now sllpplicating for little
longer time at the public crib for the Off
GERS and employees of that body. They
are so taken by surprise. They have no
place to go to! The Departments are
closed to them, so one Senator said. How
are they to live without office? They de-
clare that they did not know their days
were numbered. They had no idea that
General Malone would be true to the
men who sent him to the Senate They
thought ho would be false, as Hill, of
Georgia, who is here by the aid of negro
votes, added to the minority of the Dem
ocratic members of the Legislature of
that State. They never mean what they
say when they prate OF accepting in
good faith the amendments to the Con.
stitution," and they hoped that he did
not. True, they knew that in the cam
paign of 1879, which resulted in the elec-
ton of General Malone. the members of
the Legislature who elected him never
received a vote from any man who did
not vote against the party which is recog-
nized by the Bourbon Senators in Con-
gress as the Democratic party. Every
Irregular" Democrat fought against and
voted against Malone. He has been
mathematical by the Virginia regulars
as fercely rs Ben Butler ever was at New
Orleans. Bayard and Vance and Bayard
and Barnum, and the regular National
Democratic Committee went into Virginia
last fall and excommunicated him and all
the Readiusters from the national organi-
zation. Every regular Democrat voted
anti-Mahone in 1879. Every man elected to
the Legislature by the regular Democracy
of Virginia that year voted against Ma
hone and IN favor of Withers. The only
hope the Bourbon party, North or South,
had of General Malone was that he
might be base enough to desert his fol-
lowers, cowardly enough to obey those
who had vilified him, and false enough
never to have had an honest conviction
on the subject Of fair ballot.
Never was .clnmsief falsehood

Dr.. BUCHANAN, of Philadelphia, the
celebrated dealer in bogus medical diplo-
mas, has confessed. He says there are
twenty-five concerns in existence by
which diplomas are sold, and that there
are twenty thousand persons in possession
of bogus degrees in this country and forty
thousand in Europe. Unfortunately, he
does not tell how these spurious doctors
may be known from the genuine article,
and there does not seem to be any other
way for finding out.

three delegates from each State associa-

understood that the purpose of this con-
vention is to consider means for the pro-
lection of Republicans in Office, and for
the further purpose Of doing what may be
legitimately done toward putting Demo-
Gratis out. We will wait until the pur-
pose is more fully set forth before ex-
pressing any views on this subject. The
value of these associations is too fully
known to need comment. They have,
one and all, been faithful and indie
pendent bodies in helping on the
Republican cause, and during the
last campaign did effective and no
doubt disinterested service. But in aim
ing to extend the limits of their labors
great care should be taken not to intrude
upon the rights of Department and other
officials, nor to set themselves up as self
appointed monitors OF advisors to those
who may be supposed to know a thing OF
two on their own account. Wetherefore
counsel moderation and careful con-
sideration of good taste to those about to
meet in this convention, while at the
same time We tender our cordial approval
