Governor Cameron, of Virginia, has
vetoed the bill passed by the Legislature
of that state to prevent and punish duel

object of the bill, but he thinks one Of its
sections is retroactive, and that it leaves
witness on his own confession subject to
the political disqualifications prescribed
by the constitution, to twit. disfranchise-
ment. The decision Of the court of ap-
peals Of Virginia, in the case OF Cullen vs.
the commonwealth, is cited, in which the
court below required a witness to testify

the accused opposed the examination of
any witnesses present OH the ground that
their evidence, while it might fasten guilt
on the principals, would end to criminate
themselves as participants. The court
decided that the ground was well taken,
and discharged the witnesses, which pre-
vents any prcsentment by the grand Jury.

have been about as much put to their

out of office without leaving good rec

and that his further appointment to :,

But to such an extent, in the minds
of our Republican contemporaries
''party is everything" that to elect
Stautfer they were willing to go any
length in misrepresenting il mayor ot
exceptional fitness and his admirable
municipal policy. They have had the
assurance to claim that Stautfer favored
policy of no expenditures in increase
of appropriations, though in every year
of his administration the appropriations
were uverdraWn aud at its close $50 90,
of floating debts had been incurred
which were met by the MacGonisle ad

TUESDAY EVENING, FEB. q, 1882.
The Supreme Courts Opinion.


Doubtful things are very uncertain,
and supreme court decisions may be
classed among the doubtful things of the
first water. The more certain you are
that you kcow what they will he the
more sure you may be that they don't
and supreme courts in different parts of
the country have been clearly demon
strating this fact. They have an especial
facility for it in expounding the consti-
tuition. The Tennessee supreme court
the other day decided that it was un-
constitutional in the Legislature to give
the citizens OF the state the privilege of
paying their taxes with the debts due
them by the state. Men of ordinary un-
derstanding naturally supposed that it
was quite in order to offset one
debt against another, and they feel very
much enlightened to learn now that
states are of such different constitution
from individuals that even their I.egis
lature cannot make the debts they owe
receivable for the debts owed them.
And now here in Pennsylvania our
supreme court comes along with decis-
ion nobody at all expected, declaring
that there isn't any perceptible difference
between salary and wages, and that
when the Legislature was directed by
the constitution to be paid such salary
and mileage as should he fixed by law, it
was not forbidden to give itself L per
diem pay in addition to its salary. To
he sure, the constitution firmly intended
to cut eff the per diem payment as de-
moralizing and tending to prolong legis-
lative sessions indefinitely: but the
supreme court thinks that it has nothing
to do with the constitution makers in
tentiOns; that what they wanted to do
they should have said in unm;stakable
language and that it would not at all
do for the court to suppose for Il moment
that the constitution trainers contem
plated that the Pennsylvania legislator
could he .luped to continue the session Of
the Legislature Il day longer than was
necessary, because of the temptation of
Il teh-doll;;r per diem which is sarcasm
The ground Of this decision of our
court is hat Il legislative ac! must not
be pronounced unconstitutional unless it
is clearly so !: the doubt must he resolved
in favor of the Legislatures act. Tie
strength OF this position cannot lie dis
put"d though the decision OF the sister
state Of Tennessee, to which we have re
ferred, is based upon the opposite idea !:
there the doubt was resolved against the
Legislative act. 1t is very great power
that is rtpC>e'l in Il court to defeat the
sovereign expression of the people de
clared by its Legislature, and certainly
should not be exercised unless clearly
required 10y the fundamental law. There
must be no undertaking Oh the part of
the judiciary to usurp the law making
funci ions. When judges are permitted
this liberty. free government is ended
quite as E,ch as when the executive
power is allowed to defy the Legislative
Though the decision of the Pennsylva-
mia court may defeat the intent of the
constitution, il is better 50 than that it
should e!nascuiate the legislative func-
tiollS.

70 he Fun With Air ETaAe,.
One Of the air line stock trains, lately
put on the PcpnsJ lyania road, left IIar-
risb,irg oil Sunday, and was composed Of
twenty. seven cars until it reached Colum-
bia, when two cars We're detached, giving
it twenty five for the run to Philadelphia.
The idea is to make three runs, average
twenty-cight miles per hour, from Chi
caGo, SO that cattle may be got through
from that city to Philadelphia and New
York with as little delay rs possible. and
as few unloaGings fer feeding rs the
condition of the cattle will per-
NIT. The purpose is to run four trains
a week from Chicago to New York and
Philadelphia. The idea in making these
tests for dispatch in cattle trains is to
compete with the refrigerator business, the
refrigerator car nof being used for the
transportation Of Iaughtered beef being
claimed as a greaf advantage over the live
stock transportation, by which under the
old style cattle reached the northern mar
ket reduced in flesh and frequently dis
eascd by reason OF exposure, starvation
and rough treatment. The other freight
will be carried with three fast cattle trains,
and as the brakes are managed under the
air SYSTEM less men will be needed to run
them than when the brakinG has to bc
done by hand.
