AN IMPORTANT LEGAL POINT.

Not long ago the Supreme court of Illinois
decided that the power of the State board of
commissioners to prescribe tariff of rates
for the carriage of merchandise between
points in that State extended to the power of
prescribing rates between point in thas
State and the city of New York. case in
volving tho same principle has been decided
in Texas and taken to the Supreme court of
the United States. law of Texas requires
that every chartered telegraph company do
ing blu mess in Texas shall pay into the treas
ury of the State tax of one cent for overy
full rate message sent and one-half cent for
every message less than full rate. The taxes
were not paid and suit was brought. The
State Supreme court in appeal affirmed the
judgment for tho full amount of the tax
United States held the law to be unconstitu-
tional, saying: The telegraph is an instru
ment of commerce, and when kilograms pass
outside of the boundaries of State it is an
instrument of inter State commerce, and
hence the law of Texas, in so far as it i'm
poses tax on such kilograms, violates the
constitution by undertaking to regulate inter-
State commerce.
It will be seen that the decisions of the
Illinois Supreme court and the Supreme
court :of the United States conflict and that
the disagreement is very important one.
But this is by no means the first decision of
the Supreme court of the United States
adapting the principle Of federal supremacy
to the exigencies of modern commerce. And,
as the Providence Journal says: 1.-THE very
nature of the case demands that this line of
decision shall be followed up. 1t needs no
argument to prove to the man of business
that it would be equally impraeticable and
unjust to require the railroad, the telegraph
and the telephone to be subjected to the dis
cordant regulation and assessment of the sew
eral States; Illinois regulating rates for New
York; and New York regulating rates for
Iowa. That the federal authority will be en-
forced is beyond doubt, because the power is
just and essential; that it will indicate and
ensure an enormous federal supremacy in
matters not covered by the express letter of
the law is morally certain

BILE and normally unromantio pauper is able
to realize the truth of the maxim when in
duced by circumstances over which he has
little control to part with his trousers in or
der to acquire pot of beer. About a fort
night ago three absolutely impecunious in
mates of St. Marylebone workhouse were
discharged therefrom, and determined to
celebrate the Joyous occasion with friendly
glass at an adjoining tavern. But where was
the money to come from was the great
question. With admirable presence of mind
William Bailey, one of the trio bethought
himself of a plan to raise the wind which at
once commended itself to the mind of his
fellow paupers an inspiration of gsnius
Bailey decided upon temporary separation
from his trousers, and, gracefully retiring in
to q shed at the back Of the tavern. he pro-
ceeded to divest himself of those important
integuments, which q comrade, Edward Gill
bert, thereupon took off to the nearest pawn
shop and exchanged for the loan of half q
crown. But as the rules of an absurdly arti-
fetal civilization seemed to demand that Mr..
Bailey should be arrayed in some kind of
lower garments when he appeared at the bar
to indulge in the flowing bowl. Gilbert pro-
ceeded to purchase, at the modest cost of
ninepenco--taken from the half crown-a
to the shed wherein the too ingenious pauper
was lying concealed from general obser walton,
the trusty bearer of the apparel and the
change from the half crown was suddenly set
upon by the third pauper appropriately
named Lawless, who snatched the trousers
and mo ) from his grasp and ran away with
his ill-gotten gains. Lawless, however was
Justly punished for his offence by being lock

drunk in the public gutter and being subse-

eighteen months hard labor for his heartless
theft. Meanwhile. imagination turns back to
the condition of Mr. Bailey in his solitary
shed, who was anxiously expecting, like
Mariana in the moated grange, the r. turn OF
his pauper and his trousers. When at length
the full extent of the disaster was disclosed
sad, indeed, would have been his case but TO,
the timely assistance of the owner of the
beer house, who sympathized with the ad
venturous but trouserless pauper in his back
shed and risgsd him out straightway in 6

in the Sunbury district, and that in 1873 he
would have defeated Hoyt if the tide had not
set in so strongly that he he could not
stem it. He also charged that, in 1879, Cam
eron had willfully and deliberately plotted
and bargained for the defeat of Passmore for
Auditor G. neral and Hart for State Treasur-
er, and that besides electing the Democrats,
Schell and Noyes, he made the defalcation of
the latter good out of his own pocket. Gen
eral Mccartney has hitherto been SO near the
throne, and is now on such strong terms of
friendship with Governor Hoyt that his OPP
portunity for obtaining correct information
on these matters is excellent. His bold ut
terances have caused intense excitement, es-
pecially in Harrisburg, and in the Telegraph,
of that city. he is assailed in the most Zero
cious manner, and accused himself of being
defaulter to the United States government

for the presidential nomination in 1884, is
Just now having little ''boom" Congress-
man Taylor, General Garfield's successor in
tina House, is reported as saying: "My choice
of all the candidates is Benjamin Harrison, of
Indiana. He is man of well rounded char
acter, pronounced views, and great ability,
and he is absolutely impregnable in his per-
sonal popularity and party affiliations. Such
a nomination would unite the party. It would
be advantageous, because Indiana is doubt
full State. Harrison is popular and would be
strengthened by his family traditions. He is
the grandson of William Henry Harrison In
character and ability he is second to no man
who has been talked off, An intimate
friend" of Senator Harrison says of him 4:
General Harrison is abont the only promi-
nent public man have ever known who did
not regard himself as boss, or try to thrust
his opinions on the party. 1 have known
him Intimately for years, in politics, in bust
ness, and in social life, and tell you that he
is tbs most modest great man that ever
knew. He can fight like a Trojan for any
one else for an idea or principle which he
believes in; but when it comes to himself
he is as difident as school girl. It has
been charged that he is cold, proud and
selfish that he often passes people
without speaking to them. I tell you the
man does not live who ever spoke to him
and did not get kind reply. But the mo-
ment his ambition. aroused by the demands
of friends, led him to enter the political
field, his diffdsnce seemed more conspicuous
than ever before. Somehow he seems to feel
that if he rushes around hand shaking and
being the good fellow which he really is, men
will think he is fawning. I have known him
to refuse many applications for recommend
atoms, but he always did it either with the
explanation that he knew ! 'aauld do no
