John f. Coogan, aged twenty-four, a
mechanic, of New Haven, has for some
years kept company with Mary Casey,
a rather good-looking brunette of about
twenty. Both resided at New Haven
until recently. About two months ago
the young woman went to Birmingham
to live, and Coogan was in the habit Of
going weekly to see her. While both
lived in New Haven CLogan appeared
to be very jealous. He threatened Sey.

although he was considered generally

He went to Birmingham last FRIDAY

A THREATENED GAS SUIT.
A Baltimore Company After the
CITY COunctI.

Baltimore parties, who control certain
patent burners supplied to the city by
the Pennsylvania Globe Gas Light Co..
contemplate suing the city for infringe
ment of patent. The Baltimore parties
control the patents.
Some time ago City Council was noti-
fled that the use of the burners was an
infringement on their patent, but no at.
tention was paid as the Pennsylvania
Globe Gas Light Company was looked
upon as the offenders.
This morning the Clerk of Council re-
ceived another letter upon this subject,
this time more to the point. After
speaking of a judicial decree in favor of
the Baltimore people in u case similar
to the one in point it says;
"We have given you notice time and
again that You We're using the burners,
which you have been placing on your
lamps, in violation of our rights.
Controlling as we do fourteen patents
on burners, all that are available for
street lighting, for which we paid big
prices, so as to enable us to do this
business, you can readily see the Unjust
ice of Others using without our
peslnisSion that which they have no
claim or right to. But our interests
and franchises are valuable and cost
us great deal Of money, and we must
protect our rights. We submit that
fairness and justice demand u prompt
recognition of our rights, and that you
take such II position as will enable us
to know if you intend to force us to le-
gal redress. We hope to have your
answer on or before May 2jth, 1881.
Afser this time the matter can only be
settled through cur counsel, Messrs.
johnson Il Poe.
Very respectfully,
ROBT 5. CARSWELL, President.
ID. NJ. NEWnoLD, Treasurer.
The letter will be presented To the

STATE TAXES on SHIPPING.

In the consideration of the difficult prob
lem OF how to regain our lost ocean carry
ing trade, some attention will no doubt have
to be given TO State as well rs National leglS-
lation State taxation bears heavily upon the
shil ming interest. No discrimination is made
against 1t by the tax laws. but it is engaged in
an unequal struggle for ex stcnCe with powerful
rivals which enjoy tho fostering care of for
eIgn Governments, and thus finds burdens heavy
winch would be easily carried ii 1t were IN Il
flourishing condition. England taxes only the
net earnings of her ships. We tax the capital
invested in them, whether 1t Is productive or
not. 1t makes no difference whether an Amer
lean ship is at work or lying idle; she
DAYS the same tax. In Maine the rate is rs
high as 2l2 per cent In Massachusetts it is
1l2 Der cent. In Ncw-York ships are rated
with other personal property.
1t is a question for the SeahOard States to
consider. whether some encouraging legiSla-
ton ought not to be adopted 10 get the ship
ping interest of the country out OF the nut of
decline and decay in which it has SO long been
running, The most important remedial meas
ures must, however, come from the General
Government. Tho people of tho interior
should not imagine that this is n matter in
winch the coast sections OF the country are
alone Interested II Is an affair of great Ma
tional concc'n. The Nation can no more
afford to pay foreigners for carrying
ITS products to market than farmer
can afford TO hire his neghbors
10 hau his corn TO town while his own teams
are standing Idle by hiS granary door. Nor is
the question of profit and loss the only one
involved. National defence and National safety
depend in large measure uDOn our ability TO sup
plcmcnt our weak Navy. in case of war, by arm
ing fast steamers belonging to our merchant
marine. With no Navy save a few Old-tash-
toned wooden cruisers, and scarcely score of
frs. class merchant steamships, We arc in a
wrctched condition to dispute any question
affecting our interests with either of the fist
or sccond-rat Powers of the globe.

STEIN 10 LIRERI.1.

An important enterprise an its bearing upon
the future of the lutte Republic of Liberia is
that Just set on foot by Mr.. William L. Dodge
and others for establishing steam communca-
ZION between N w-York and Monroyia. The
negro State Quilt up by the American Coloni-
zatIon Society has not fulfilled the expectations
Of its founders. It's growth has been slow, and
it has more than once been threatened with
the alternative of extinction by the savage
tribes of the interior, or annexation to the
neighbonng British colony of Sierra Leone
Nevertheless there has been some progress
ard the civilized element of the population has
increased in spite Of the prevalence OF fever
and the almost total stOppage of immigration
from America, until it now numbers about
%. 900 souls The savages living within
tbe boundaries of the Republic are estimated
TO number 100000. Palm oil, sugar, coffee
and cotton are exported. There is abundance
of fertile land unoccupied, and agriculture is
profitable to those who will work; but tho
negro from our Southern States refuses to be
acclimated, and usually must 90 through n
siege of fever before he is good for much as
field laborer. The fact that IA civilized coli
ored community has survived under the
uutaVOrdDlo circumstance. Ol lSOlullOn, I'LL
encrvating climate and frequent wars with the
natives. shows, however, that the country has
capacities for further development.
The lack of quick and regular cOmmunica-
ton with the United States has been II great
drawback % the progress of Liberia. The trade
with this country has been carried on in sailing
vessels, and the tedious voyage in tropical lat-
tudes has discouraged immigration. Mr.. DOdge's
steam line will undoubtedly give a new I'M
petus to the Republic. Many enterprising
coored men will be tempted by tho AhOrtness of
the voyage to 90 out and see the country for
themselves, with view Of forming colonies to
settle there who would not think of going
when he only means of transit was an Oc-
caslonal sailing craft, small, slow and uncOm-
Portable. While no general exoGus of negroes
from this country to Africa is, desirable, the
reinforcement of the feeble L'berian settle
ments by q few thousand industrious, inieli-
gent cOOred Americans might produce excel
lent results. What the Republic needs is suf-
tcicnt strength to push its way back from the
sickly sea coast into the interior, clvilzing and
| controlling the native tribes, establishing a
profitable trade with them, opening lines OF
travel, and steadily developing the great
agricultural resources of its fertile soil. Sc
| far Us the United States are concerned in the

their pretences the people VINO nau

nopular reaction which at the next cleo
tions turned back the tide of Democratic sue
cesses and cut down their Congressional majority
and in the Presidential election follo"lnR
routed them completely and sent them DacH
into minority In this way it happened
that apparent failure turned out W NO
an ultimate success. But II was an
experiment that, for obvious reasons ho
Republican Administration will for long
time to come care to repeat. 1t deprived 'ne
Northern Democracy of the sentimental argu-
ment which they had piled with such lnuus-
try, and upon which they had made so mucn
headway by simple concessions which put IL
to practical tests. 1t was one more 1ora VI
the strategy which has always been SO la'ai
to Democracy. of "givng them rope enough
to hang themselves"
1t would be interesting to know lust wha1
are the " i'll effects upon our Southern soci-
ety. which The Woman has discovered from
the appointmeHt of Judge Key, or OF any
other Southern man upon whom the RepuDii-
cans have laid "violent hands" and who was
"weak enough to make no resistance" The
obvious inference is that such appoint
ments have had tendency to break
into the soldity of the Southern
Democracy. Thus far they do not seem to
have effected much in that direction. Our
Kentucky contemporary e1aggerates their IN
fuence. So far from having weakened or d.
vided the party, these Federal appointments ap-
pear to have united it in denunciation and
social ostracism of the favored ones
There is apparently no danger, for the
present, at least, that the Bourbonism
of Southern Democracy will be under
mined by the insidious influence Of Federal
appointments The Republican party is quite
content with the experiments already made in
that line so long as the interests OF " South
ern society" are bound up in perpetuating
Solid South and maintaining hopeless war
for cause confessedIy lost, the Republican
party and the Northern people will leave them
to work out their own salvation. Driving and
coaxlng are equally futile in their present
temper. They will be left to find their own
