WASHINGTON, March 30.-Mr. VIM
Il. Springer, of Illinois, was to day
interviewed on the next Speakership
He said he felt encouraged by the as
surances of support he is receiving
from the northwestern States. and
intimates that he is the best man for
the Democrats to compromise on. He
states that General Rice, Of Ohio, who
is travelling around the country osten
sibly on railroad business, is really
working for Randall. He states that
Randall has made combination with
John G. Thompson, OF Ohio, for Ser.
.eant at Arms, and is now trying to
axe Clark, of Missouri, or Atkins, o.
Tenne ssee, candidates for clerk, into
his combination. Randall has fifty
votes pledged, and expects to get that
many more by making a strong combi-
nation. Randall and his supporters
are all in favor Of keeping the tariff
question out Of the next Congress, and
be says the sure way to tell Randall
man is when you hear member talk
against reopening the tariff tight In
the next House. Mr.. Springer says
that the Democrats out his way are in
favor of the next House passing a tariff
bill largely reducing the present high
rates and sending the bill to the Sen.
ate, and If that body wants to kill II
the responsibility will rest there
Springer talks all right, but his can
didacy is all wrong. lie is badly de-
ceived in his strength, as he has but
little support.

Some sensation was created this
morning among the sporting fraterni

street that the act making gambling a
felony did not take effect until forty
days after its passage. There were
various opinions expressed on the sub.
ject, some contending that it went in.
to effect from and after its passage
others that it was forty days yet before
it went into effect.
The sporting fraternity all agree
that whenever the law does 20 into

mined to leave the State, but those in d.
tending to leave we're inclined to re.

There is not one among the better
classes Of gamblers who would willing,

after the announcement of the passage
Of the act, they all closed their houses

The Law and Inr Facts

Much interest has been awakened
Of late in regarG to the demand made
upon Major Minor Meriwether, Re-
ceiver Of the old city OF Memphis, tor
certain funds supposed to be due for
the support OF city schools. A few
facts concisely set forth may aid our
readers in arriving at proper conclu-
sions:
|. The city charter was repealed,
and taxes were kept alive by the law
which provided that all taxes should
be paid in city indebtedness except
where a mandamus or lien required
their payment in money.
2. The school taxes were levied by
the city, and we're under its control in
every respect. When the court came
to decide how they should be paid,
the only question was whether any
lien or mandamus required their pay.
ment in cash. This was necessarily
answered in the negative, because
they we're levied to run the schools,
pay teachers, rent, janitors, etc, for
the respective years for which they
we're levied, and these were all paid
in tull, and therefore the School
Board had no lien on them or right
to them. If they had been collected
in money, the money would have gone
to the general creditors Hence,
Livingston and Mcdowell held they
were to be paid in city Indebtedness
prior to 1875, and after that period in
school coupons, or in indebtedness for
the particular years. The Supreme
Court afterward affirmed this decision.
and il any mistake was made in the
matter, it was not made by the receiy>
er, but BY the Supreme Court.
3. The rights of the School Board
were considered in every phase
in these suits between back tax payers
and the city, aud was ably argued
with the result above stated, both by
the Ohsncery and Supreme Court.
4. Practically, to the tax paying
citizen, it can make no difference how
these back taxes are paid. Every
school coupon or bond taken up is
that much of of our debt. If our
schools have not enough money we
ought to levy higher tax.
5. The charter of Memphis was re-
pcaled 10 January, 1879. The Re-
ceiver has gone on for years collecting
the school taxes in indebtedness and
school coupons, about which every
body knew. 1t is late in the day now
for the first time to think about back
taxes, when all of the best part Of
them aud the lowest taxes have been
collected.

Special to Commercial Gazette.
WASHINGTON, March 3l.-Mr. f
o. Graves. Chief OF the Redemption
Bureau Of the Treasury. was this at
terneon appointed Assistant Treas
urer, to succeed Mr.. Wyman, pro
noted. Mr.. Graves has been many
years in the Treasury Department.
and is entirely competent for the
place He was considered by Judge
Folger both for the place Of First AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury and
subsequently for Treasurer. The
President rendered to Mr.. Graves the
position of Chief Examiner of the
Civil Service Commission, and he was
confirmed by the Senate for that
place, but he declined it, on the
ground Of inadequacy of salary.
Mr.. Graves has been conspicuous as a
leader in the civil service reform
movements, which at different times
have been inaugurated in the Treas
ury, and he probably is the most con-
spicuous exponent Of an advanced
civil service policy now connected
with any Of the executive depart
meuts. His rigid adherence to It's
principles in the division of which he
has had charge, and his open advocacy
Of them, at times when Civil Service
was sneered at, have not made him
popular with the place-hunters, who
think that no reforms are possible.
Mr.. Wyman bad recommended fol
his assistant Mr.. Whipley. the cashier
of the Treasury. Mr.. Whipley is a
very efficient man, aud deserves pro,
motion. He was next in the line Of
promotion, and the selection Of Mr.
Graves over him Is, for that reason,
criticised.
