days since the proprietor complained of

Springs, promising to return in few days
On Monday the usual bills came in, and as
Clescsyich was still absent, of his employees
photographed to the springs for instructions
what to DO abont the payment of weekly
accounts. Yesterday information reached
here that Clescovich had rot been at Steam
boat at all, bnt must have passed through
to California or elsewhere. This aroused
the suspicion OF Rosssr and Klein that all
was not right, so they attached the est .b-
lishment It IS stated that Clescovich
liabilities are quite heavy, and that more

correspondence Ol the fcTry UdZette.
MEXICO, Mo-, Dec. 27, 1851
see, in recent issue of the paper,
that you ask the question: Why Mex
leo and hel papers are opposed to
this road? This is hardly justice to
two papers out OF three, or to a major
palt of the intelligent, thinking busi-
ness men of the city. True, it meets
with opposition from some by way of
pouring cold water upon the enter
prise, being actuated purely by selfish
motives.
We suppose, the paper referred to
must mean the LEDGER. We are not
opposed to the railroad. We are In
favor of it, and all other enterprises.
We are opposed to buying the right
of way, making the grade, tileing aud
railing the track, and then giving it
to one man, or set of men. Men can
afford to build their own railroads.

OF sUNDRY RECOMMENDATION.
1 think a general registration law
should be enacted. but the constiiu-
ton must fir It be amended. What
ever is necessary to the militia ought
to be. carefully considered For many
years the penitentiary has been a
source of EMBARRASSMENT, and the
Legislature ought to consider the
employing of convicts judiciously
aud calmly, so as~to do full justice
to the State and honest, honorable
labor.
OF FINANCES.
1t is gratifying to know that the
finances of the State are in aatis-
factory condition. Payment If every
dollar intrusted to State Treasurer
Gates has been arranged for, lnclud-
ing that deposited with the Mastin
and National Banks. Appeal is made
to be allowed TO use the name of the
State in enforcing the claim against
The former. Such privilege cannot
injure the State, aud it see MS to be
but simple justice to grant it.

Beecher Advocates Strikes.

NEW YORK, June 27.-In bis
sermon to-day Mr.. Beecher said that
man cannot be trusted with too much
money. The development of wealth
at this time is greater, more extensive
in scope than ever before. Tht
country is now confronted with wealth
such as has never before been equaled.
Gigantic monopolies," said be, "are
being organized daily-such, for in
lance, as the Standard Oil Company,
that forbids the refining of oil except
by its own special process, Look at
the combination Of the railroads. If
the time should ever come when a
president of the United States should
favor few, or all of these forms Of
monopoly, it would only require five
pockets to put every mans interest
in" Referring to the labor troubles,
Mr.. Beecher said that men can not be
trodden down like grass. They are
worth more than money, individually
and collectively. The brewers" he
said, laughed behind the breastworks
of their combined power, but there
comes retaliation upon them by boy
cotting." These labor strikes are
working great benefit to all classes Of
workingmen. The workingmen have
begun the study of political economy

Are Sunday Laws Invalid?

An interesting decision concerning
State Sunday laws, to the effect that
they are invalid so far as they forbid
the running of railroad trains because
interfering with inter state commerce.
has been rendered by Judge Jackson
of the Circuit Court at Louisville, X ).
If this decision holds good no State
can hinder the transportation of pas
sengerS and freig ht on the first day of
the week.
The General Statutes of Kentucky
provide that ''no work or business shall
be done on the Sabbath day, except
household affairs or other works of
necessity or charity" and under the
section the Louisville & Nashville
railroad was arranged for running a
train which happened to carry the
mail. Now, the constitution of the
United States grants to Congress the
power of regulating commerce" among
the several States" In view of this
provision Judge Jackson argued:
1.-The trains of the defendant, on the
defendant, on the Sunday referred to,
were engaged in the transportation OF
such commerce., and of the United
States mails, and are sheltered by the
constitutional provision upon which
the defendant relies. The acts of the
defendant were not prohibited by the
Federal government, and it is not in
the power of this or any other State to
prohibit the same. The States are
forbidden to regulate commerce The
States cannot stop the mails of the
United States. If the statute of Ken
lucky now being considered is suscepti-
BILE of such construction, then, to that
extent, it is clearly in conflict with
the Constitution of the United States.
1t would be regulating or attending
to do so, to stop, even for a day,
Interstate transportation of passengers
or freight
Without doubt this construction
would hold true if Congress had taken
upon itself to lesislate on this matter
1t has been held, however. in some
cases that the States have the right to
legislate on subject but within the
control of Congress until that body
chooses to exercise its authority
But the letter of the constitution
supports the judges position.
Aside from the objection that the
State law was invalid, Judge jackson
also made strong point of the ne cess
ity Of railroad communication in mod
ern life. He held that under The
present customs of the country, anc
the requirements of business the
phrase "works of necessity covered
the work done by the railroad on the
Sunday in question. For this reason
as we'll as the other he refused to allow
an action to lie.--SentineI.
