SHORT MEMORIES. Like most other peo-
pie, we had forgotten that VIRGINS had
confessed himself to be q humDug. The
New York Tridune refreshes our rccollec.
ton by reminding the public that when
WIGGINs's storm Of February 9th failed to
come to time, and he was interviewed on
the subject, he said:
"The failure Of this February storm re-
moves world of responsibility from my
mind, for the storm predicted for March
has hung over me like nightmare; and if
this storm had happened, hundreds antici-
pating the March storm would have become
insane through fear Of its results" But
great and tenacious of life is humbug.
Within few days Virgins resumed bust
ness at the old stand, shouting vocife-
rously, "Almanacs Who'll buy my alma
uacsPv

Revenue Bills.

Whilst the subject Is still fresh in the
minds of the public we wish to notice an
argument which has been advanced by
those persons who contend that the United
States Senate violated the Federal Consti-
tuition when 1t changed in the manner it
did the bill sent to that body from the last
House Of Representatives to reduce in
ternal taxation. The argument is that il
the Senate could rightfully thus take bill
providing for few changes in the inter-
nal-reyenue laws, and attach to it, as that
body did, hundreds OF new provisions
relating to the tariff, the constitutional
privilege OF the House OF Representatives
to originate all revenue bills amounts to
nothing.
That arguments not worth much at best,
being sort OF argument from results; for
the Constitution expressly says that al
though all revenue bills must originate in
the House Of Representatives, yetthe Senate
may "propose OF concur with amendments
as OH other bills" Mr.. MORRISON. OF ILL.,
nois, Mr.. KNOTT. OF Kentucky, and a num-
Der of others OF the best lawyers on the
Democratic side Of the last House, MAIN
tanned that this language fully justified the
action OF the Senate, there being no other
or further or greater limitation upon the
power OF the Senate in the case Of revenue
bills than in the case of any other bill, when
once the Senate bad received revenue bill
from the House of Representatives.
These last words show how the Consti-
tuition limits the power Of the Senate. No
matter how high TAX there may be upon
any article, the Senate cannot originate a
bill to remove or reduce that tax. No
matter how odious and unjust Il discrimi-
nation a protective tariff may make be-
tween one article of imports and another,
the Senate cannot lay finger upon that
tariff until permission TO do so has been
granted by the House OF Representatives.
That permission is granted by the act OF
sending revenue bill to the Senate.
The Supreme Court Of Appeals Of vir-
ginia has appellate Jurisdiction only, except
in certain kinds Of cases. 1t cannot touch
one OF the forbidden cases unless it comes
up on appeal. But once it comes up it
may be treated Just as the Court of Appeals
may deem II best to treat it. So In the case
OF revenue bills in Congress. The Senate
cannot originate such a bill, but once let
such bill be sent to that body from the
House Of Representatives, and it may reject
it in toto, or reject one section of it, or
amend one or all Of its sections, or, in
word, do as to 1t whatever the House Of
Representatives could do, Just as it can in
the ease Of "Other bills"

NEW JRRsnfY,s aREAT FIGHT

NEW JERsRiY's GREAT FIGHT.
 The New Jersey Legislature is paying spe-
 cial attention to railroads this winter. Rail
 roads in that State have hitherto succeeded
 in escaping the payment of taxes on 8 large
 part of their proper rty, but there appears to
 be disposition to make them pay their fair
 share hereafter.
 One bill aimed at the evil has already
 passed the House. The Senate Judiciary
 committee has reported favorably constitu-
 tional amendments providing for the con-
 demnation of the property and franchises of
 the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western rail-
 road. Another amendment provides for the
 condemnation not only of the property of
 this road, but of all other railroads shielding themselves from the tax-gatherer behind ir- repealable charters. A bill introduced day or two ago also bids fair to make some stir
 It's title is ian act to impose a uniform State tax upon the property of railroad and canal companies" It's first provision Is that all the property of such companies not used for railroad purposes shall be assessed and taxed by the same assessors and in the same man ner and at the same rate as other private property in the same taxing districts. For the taxing of railroad and canal property used in their business and for the purposes of their business the bill creates a Stata board of assessors to consist of three meno bers, to be nominated by the Governor to the Senate. These assessors are to meet on the first Tuesday of May in each year, and proceed to ascertain the value and extent of the real estate used for railroad purposes, in- cluding roadbed, tracks, etc, and then the taxable personal property of the roads, and the cash value of the capital stock and fran chises of the roads; and the tax is to be inn posed on the aggregate value, collected by the local assessors, under heavy penalties for default in performance on their part, and paid into the State treasury. If the compa- nies fail to pay their tax within year the State treasurer may sue them. The money thus collected is to be applied, first, to meet the appropriations made from it by the Leg isIature, and, if any remains, then the State I treasurer, retaining one-half of one per cent on the assessed valuation, shall apportion the l residue among the various taxing districts in | to the amount of taxable railroad ! property in each. Roads claiming exemption | under irrepealable charters are required to | file schedules showing what of their property | they claim to be exempt and they cannot \ acquire any new properties hereafter except ! as the company may be entitled to acquire | and hold pursuant to their contract with ths I State.
 It will be interesting to see how this con- test between the people of New Jersey ard the railroads comes out. At present it seems probable that the people will be victorious.

History Repeating Itself.


 It Is true that the country has departed ,SoGsewhat from the primitive simplicity of its earlier days; that we lead in some re- spects a faster life; that our officials are more beset with temptations; and that in our great centers of population there is more poverty and more vice than there was hun dred years. These results were inseparable from our rapid growth and the almost over whelming tides of immigration that have flowed into the land but the various evils the frIvolltles and extravagances of our time are by no means peculiar either to the coun- try or to the age in which we live. Turning to an old file of the Pennsylvania Packet, we ind In It's issue of February l, 17S6, an edi- torlal on "The Luxury of the Present Time, from which we make the following extract In the history of France, written in the life of Henry the Third, are the following words: sThe most universal cause of all disorders was luxury; the high taxes of this reign had engendered this proud and delicate monster The many people in civil offices all those through whose hands the public money passed, widowed in wealth. The largest sums sometimes cost them no more than the dash of a pen; it was but falsifying an account, and they filled their pockets and as 1t came so easily 1t made them launch into all kinds of opportunities; but the worst of 1t was the bad examples infected others etc. When we consider Comments the Packet the destruction which luxury has caused in all those nations where it has been intro duced, we should tremble to think to what height it is risen within a few years in this nation. We are sensible that for some years past our commerce has been declining, our manufactures gong to decay, and great num- bers of the industrious part of the people wanting employment. This is 8 truth. that every great trader has seen and felt, and yet this proud and delicate monster stalks about, and spreads it's conquests in proportion as the public property increases" !"
 How often is the substance of that editori- al repeated nowl But let us make an ex. tract from the Massachusetts Sentinel of the l same year: ''It is out of character for the | to complain that business is dead |
 who keeps 8 chariot and stud, who | gives an entertainment once a week and a | card party twice. It is out of char acter for tradesman who once prided him. | self on the appellation of a specaleE ShSrt | man to complain that he cannot, money be- | ing so scarce, pay his rent or his taxes, when | 1e wears nothing but the finest web of the | oom, etc. It is out of character for the | farmer to complain that he cannot pay his | ;ates, nor debts, nor anything else, whose hree daughters are at a town boarding | 'chool, under the discipline of a dancing | master, when they should be at the spinning vheel-and who, while they should be iressed in decent homespun, as were their frugal grandmothers. now carry half their ather's crops on their backs"
