THE SCOTT LIQUOR LAW.
Tne Ohio Supreme Court Hands Down
Hts Decision In the Case.

COLUMBUS, June 28.-The Supreme Court
to-day gave cut its opinion in over 5000
words III the Scott liquor tax law, holding
it valid and constitutional, except the second
section, wherein il is he'd not to apply to
leases executed prior to the passage of the
act, as no contract made can be violated.
Leases, however, entered into subsequent to
the passage of the law come within lis pur-
view, the same as rentals wherein the coIlec-
ton of tax ia first lien on the premises, hold
ing that 10 subject freehold provided for
by statute, when made against a tenant Tor
carrying on business upon premises leased
prior to the passage OF The statute, would be
an unwarrantable Interference with private
properly, subjecting one mans property 10
the payment OF another's debts. Ii this In
trinity can be tikeu out of the statute by
applying il only 10 cases arising under leases
executed after the passage of the statute, it ID
our duty to so construe it, Every presump.
.tion must be taken in favor Of the validity OF
the statutes. Ii will be presumed that the
legislative intent was to apply the statute
to subsequent leases only; il necessary,
to preserve it from constitutional objection
il will never be presumed that the Lsgisls-
ture intended 10 pass an unconstitutional
law. The opinion goes into a lengthy argu.
ment showing the difference between the
Scott law and the Pond law; that the lat
ter, with iis bond feature, implied license
Ich is constituiionally prohibited; thai
the Scott Law differs fundamentally on thi,
ground, and is in no sense license accord
ing to the beat authorities on the definition
of license. The point is N ade tn at decl ariDs
one section null and void does not destroy
the validity of the law az a whole, and it
leg Atty is not thereby affected. OKey dis

AkAILRoAD TO PINE BLUFF

We learn from the Pine Bluff ARK
COmEereial that last week meeting of prom
inenl business men OF that place was held,
Col. NJ. L. Bell in the chair, to consider the
subject of a railroad connection with Mem
phis. Mr.. J. T. Trszevaut pointed out that
string stretched on the map from New
York TO Te1srkana would show Memphis,
lying nearly on an air line. That the dis
taDce from Pine Bluff to Memphis is about
$50 miles; that by referring 10 the statistics
in 1880 the counties lying Immediately on
the proposed line between Texsrkana and
Memphis had produced one-half the cotton
raised in the State, the whole amount being
over 100000 bales. On motion of Co.
Grace a committee Of five was appointed 10
draw up resolutions upon the subject, for
consideration at a meeting 10 be held
ON Monday. The resolutions as pre-
| pared state the oRg-stsnding desire Of
Pine Bluff for the construction Of q
railroad TO communicate with Memphis, and
expressing intention to give all the ma
terial aid to such work that could reasona.
bly, be expected. This is not the first move.
ment Pine Bluff has made upon this subject
Such a railroad as is spoken of, the citizens
there ardently desire to see built, that they
may avail themselves of the advantages Of.
fered by the Memphis market, having a
present access only to that OF st. Louis Pine
Bluff is prosperous city, and has in il
merchants of liberal mean, and expanded
minds, and a connection with such an enter
prising and hourishing place would be mos
gratifying TO the people of Memphis. We
ardently desire the day when the iron bsnt
shall unite the two cities, already ardent il
their regard for each other.

oppression. The people of the United
States invite immigration, they sym
pathize with the suffering poor OF Ireland,
but they will resent as an insult the attempt
Of England to make them feed the pauPers
Of her own creating and which they had no
hand in making. Our people are already
heavily taxed to support its own INDECENT
classes. The Irish Of America are the loud
est in condemnation Of the policy which
England has adopted of landing upon our
shores Irish psupers The late Pbiladelphia
convention urgently protested against this
policy. England should be made to feed
the people she has starved by robbing them.
The tax extorted from ireland should be
spent 10 caring for the paupers which Eng
land is trying TO foist upon the American
people. The policy which robs people and
then ships them unaided to u strange land
among strangers, is brutal and inhuman,
The attention of our government hes been
directed to this subject and hereafter Eng
lands psupers will be returned to those who
made them paupers.

II it lie progress for the Southern lands 10
be taken up by companies, rather than to be
sold 10 individual settlers, as is done in the
West, then the South lie making progress.
During the present year there have been
made four wholesale purch Eases of Southern
lands, each one of them 10 the extent of ever
5O0,0 GOO acres. A fifth mammoth sale is now
announced. A. C. Danner & Co., OF Mobile,
have made purchase Of 1000 acres of
Southern lands, the pine lands owned by the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company, stu
ated 10 Alabama aud Mississippi. The pur-
chssers intend TO commente extensive timber
operations. They will erect several mills
product. Companies buying these large
amounts oil land are probably keeping in
view the fact that the national demain is
lessening, and that before long what re-
maine will be comparatively worthless tracts,
or tracts situated where the climate
or the surroundings make them undesirable,
and thus they see time coming when the
rich lands they are monopolizing in the
South will psy vast percentage upon the
purchase money. 10 the meantime they
will, of cOurre, bring in settlers either by
diie ct efforts or induce immigration, or, as in
the case OF ihe Mobile Company, by provid-
log employment which will attract immi-
grants. We thus fod that additional popu-
lation for the South is likely 10 be supplied
10 a wholly different manner TO that which
has filed the West with prosperous citizens.
Instc all of the new corners arriving on their
own motion, they will be brought here by the
Intervention of speculative companies.
VIII, Their the new plan will prove as suceess.
full as the Western one remains TO be seen
but we most ardendy hope it may not intro
duce another element of difference between
the South and the rest Of the Union, Just
whea We are rid of the previous one.

Attempte Suicide of Young Girl and
tbe Terrible Cause She Alleges.

Promensders on and in the vicinity of the
pirr at Long Branch on Saturday afternoon,
says the New York Herald, we're made the
witnesses of a most d termined attempt at
suicide. A young woman in black Dirt SO
ard hat with white feathers was setn short
ly before 8 o'clock TO walk rapidly along be-
side the pier until she reached the waters
edge. She then ran forward until the water
reached above her waist, and rushed into
deep water. She was rescued, but immedi-
ately plunged in again, and was taken out in
an unconscious condition, but finally Tesusci-
/ tated. She then became come " b st hysterical
and expressed regret that she had not sue
ceeded in her attempt at eelf-desiructioD.
The girl, who is well-jeveloped brunette,
was detained in custody over night and was
taken TO court yesterday morning. VIII n
srraigned before Justice Trsutman che said
that her name was Mary Sullivan and that
she was twenty years old. She had been en-
ployed until few weeks ago in q restaurant
in Fulton street, this city. She then
decided to take a situation in the
country during the summer and OBJ
tanned place at Lsland's Ocean
Hotel. A few days ago, however, a new chef
de cuisine wss engaged there, and, as is often
the care, be brought his own Kitchen girls
with him. Sue was accordingly thrown out
Of employment. She wss approached by 9
woman, however, who told her that she
would readily find her a new situation in the
course of fss days. This woman took her
to house below the West Eod, she alleges.
After reaching this house, the girl Sullivan,
80 she alleges, was forcibly detained there,
and on two occasions strange mn were it,
| troduced into her room at night. Her
| remoustrances and entire aties were jeered at
| By her keepers, two women. On Saturday q
ruff an was introduced to the girls room, and
when she resisted he violently assaulted her,
| bruising her with his 6.ls. He fnally left
her in rage, and after his departure the
women who keep the house, enrsged at her
resi-tsnce, struck her several times. An
| hour later enc succeeded in sv ling her.elf
of an opportunity 10 escape from the house.
| She mad no friends at Long Branch, and her
money had all been taken from her. Half
| crszsd at the sh anne which had been forced
| upon her, aud DIRE ading TO send word OF her
condition 10 her parents in this city, she de-
termined TO destroy herself. The girl told
her story with modesty and an sir Of sim
| ceriiy. She sliernaieIy blu.hed and cried.
The magistrate adjourned the Gaze for
| further examination, and directed the pc
| lice 10 make u thorough Investigation Of the
/ matter.

TUMBLING PRICES.
Another Bad Break on Chicago Change
Failures Reported.

CHICAGO. June 2S.-Ths markets on
Change suffered another bad break this
morning, and the forenoon session IS marked
by uneasiness, and at times great excitement.
The depression in prices extended to provi-
stone, aud grain rs well, but was more
espt cially felt in pork and wheat. Pork has
shown steady and heavy decline the past
three days, and this morning took another
tumble of 423@50c, and lard descended no

ton less than thst touched on the Saturday
made notable by the failure OF McGeoch.
Wheat, which has displayed weakness for The
past week, dropped HOBO bushel in addi-
ton to-day. These declines renewed all the
uneasiness Of the past two weeks, and the an
Douncement was made at noon that II. o.
Kenyon & Co, and John Sinclair had sue
cumbed. They have been dealing in grain,
nut are not rated as very extensive talers.
One cause ASSIGNED for The unusual weakness
displayed by the market, is owing to the bad
showing made by the firms of McGecc b,
Everingham & Co., and M. S. Nichols & Co.,
and particularly the latter firm, from whom
better report as 10 assels had been antici.
pated.

The millions Of sturdy immigrants capable
ot tsking care OF themselves from the me
ment they land, begin to work and thus aug.
men the productive capacity of the country.
But the recent influx of paupers, who be-
come objects of public charity, has attracted
the attention of the authorities of New York
Aud Washington. Toe inspection of the i'm
lnigr ants en- the steamer Furnsssia shows
tha, of the 500 passengers on board there
were 300 paupers. Englsnd finds it cheaper
10 1polt hose who have been made beggsrs
by oppression and robbery than TO feed them,
and hence che proposes emptying into the
Uuitsd States all her pauperp. Our people
% NOV propose 10 support the paupers they
] ad no part in making. The miserable
NSretches recently dumped upon American
toii are the produc; of English mismans &C.
IAen,, craelty and wrong, and the English
government should be made to take care of
Ihe classes made INDECENT by its own
folly. There is no doubt of the
Effort on the part of Epgland TO
make the United States a huge poor
house for taking care of her psupers. Her
policy is equivalent to saying, since you want
1rlsh emigrants, and sympathize with Irish
wrongs, We will give you a surfeit of Irish
people. In speaking of the arrival of the
recent immigrants, the New York Times says
"Ihere were a number OF persons who came
direct from the pauper establishments of
county Kerry; there were several women
from these establishments with Legitimate
children; there were numbers without means
to reach their pretended destination; others
who claimed to have friends, but could not
tell where these were; others whose alleged
riends knew nothing of their coming and
had given no assurance of ability or inien-
tien TO support them. All OF these graduates
of the workhouse were obviously persons un-
able TO take care OF themselves" II lie evil

MEMPHIS APPEAL
ALEssON FOE MEMPHIS.

Hitherto Savannah has been a principal
cotton port, but It's cotton business Is now
falling of, and a committee has been sp-
pointed to investigate causes and inquire al
ter remedies. Atlanta, also, enterprising 80
her merchants sre, is Fuffering loss, its re-
Ceipts being only $4,000 bales, where 200,-
900 had been expected. Other places,
also, are showing decreased receipts IN
der an increased crop. Quotations at sa-
vannah have been below those Of Charleston
one-quarter cent to one-haf cent a pound.
Railroad rates alec influence the change. To
send cotton the 800 miles from Atlanta to
Norfolk, over mountain roads, costs ffty-s
cents hundred; while for an easy track OF
300 miles, from Atlanta to Savannah, forty
five cents is charged. Besides this, Norfolk
is the preferable port in every respect.
Charleston merchants have gained the repu-
tation Of handling cotton better and 10
more advantage than those of Savannah.
Atlants's loss is due to railroad pool
arrangements which tend 10 drive cotton TO
other place; it is expected that the pool
will be soon broken up, however, and the
public-spirited people of Atlanta may sind
means to counieract the untoward influences.
There is lesson in these changes it would be
well if our Memphis business men would
ponder over. The influence Of railroad ar
rsngements and changes, and other clrcum-
stances, can inAusncs the direction in which
cotton may seek market, and if such places
as Atlanta and Savannah can be seriously
affected by them, Memphis cannot be wholly
exempt from the same liability. III heavy
inroSd were made by any means upon the
Memphis receipt Of cetton, where would the
city be commercially? In this, as in other
things, wisdom dictates to our people to vary
their occupations, not to pot all their cargo
on one ship, to start manufactures, and in
every way promote the spending of money
in Memphis thai is gained in Memphis.
