BEFORE THE SUPREME CoURT.-Ik
will be remembered by our readers
that the cave of the State of Mary
land VS.. Turner. heretofore peudinQ
in our Court Of Appeals. and which
was decided adversely to Turner by
our home tribunal. was taken a year
or more ago to the Supreme Court Of
the United States by the defendant.
The object Of the appeal was to test
and settle the constitutionality of our
State Tobacco Inspection laws, and
the case came up for argument
before the latter Court on the 10Th
instant. We give the synopsis of the
remarks ofcounsel in the case. which we
find reported in the Baltimore Ss.n Of
Saturday last, promising that, if Tur-
ner should gain his suit, the compul-
sorry inspection Of tobacco in this State
will be no longer a matter of obliga.
ton upon planters:
The case OF Henry A. Turner va the
State of Maryland, involving the con.
stitutionality of the tobacco insnec-
tion law as administered at the In.
hacco warehouses in Baltimore. came
up for hearing in the United States
Supreme Court. on Friday. Mr.. E.
j. ID. Gross, in opening the case in
behalf ct Turner. contended that the
act Of 1870, regulating the inspection
oi tobacco, IL unconstitutional. be-
cause it II clearly regulation Of in
terstate and foreign commerce and a
law levying a duty upon exports. and
1t does not TALL within the class oflaws
known rs inspection lave, as it ex-
pressly provides that the articles Of
EXPORT are not 10 be inspected. Mr.
Cross ssid the law was also unconsti-
tntional because it Discriminate
against the nonresident buyer and
the manufacturer Of leaf tobacco. and
IN favor Of the State buyer and man
uiacturer; that it imposes burden
some regulations on tobacco intended
for exl ort, and imposes q tax Of at
least ~ n hogshead on such article
when exported, while tobacco sold and
manufactured within the State is free
from such tax and regulations. This
discrimination, Mr.. Cross claimed i
clearly against interstate aud foreign
commerce in tobacco and in favor Of
local manufactures and the internal
trade OF the State OF MARYLAND. IL.
also discriminates between different
classes OF exports of the same article
Of commerce. The act Of 1870. chan
ter 29I, permits tobacco exported bv
persons who grow the same, or mack
10 IN the county or neighborhood where
grown. TO be exported, when narked
with the full name and residence of
the owner, without inspection other
than the examination Of the outside
# the hogsheads, while exporters ~
another class must have the contents of
tleir hogsheads subjected to rirorons
examination. Dnring Nr. Cross's re-
marks be Was frequently interrupted
by questions from the court. soms 80
which he found it rather diGeult 10
answer.
Mr.. G. J.. Gwinn at,orn.,.
eral Of the State Of Maryland Ss~t
addressed the court. He gave an IN
teresting history Of the tobacco iDsnac-
ton laws Of Maryland from the fd,,n
dafaon Of the State down ia tha
present time. He stated that tobae-
GO was one Of the chief exports Of
Maryland while she was a colony and
after she became q State, and the in

There is pending in Congress con-
stitntiona amendment to make the
Presidential term six years, and the
President to be ineligible for the next
succeeding term. The electoral col
lege is 90 be abolished and the votes
to be cast direct for the President.
The Congressional term is made three
years, and each session shall begin on
the first Wednesday in January. It
would seem that some such change
would be a check upon the needless
expense and the corruption incident
TO the present plan.

We take this occasion to call special
attention to the advertisement, on our
first page, of the Hagcrstown Furni-
ture Factory of Mcssrs. j. L. Miller
& Co. We have reason to know that
this establishment has the facilities
for putting up furniture at prices that
dciics competition from many other
sources, and that they sell accord
ingly low, and that their work is
among the best and handsomest put
upon the market anywhere. Give
them a trial, and see if it is not so.
