PARxERsBuRo wins the wharfage suit,
and the doctrine laid down in the decision
is entirely agreeable to good public
policy. The question Of exorbitant wharf
age was not considered by the Supreme
Court, and the reasonable supposition is
thatno community will be 30 blind to Its
own interests as to drive business from it
The point settled by the decision is that
wharfage is not tax on tonnage, and
therefore relief is not to be had in the
United States Court. 1

LONDON, April s0.-rhe Tines, in an
editorial, says the Irish Convention at
Philadelphia began with clap.trap OF
folly and maligni,y, and closed after the
same fashion. The whole scene, It says,
would be painful were 1t not supremely
ridiculous. The only practical suggestions
madeby the convention for injuring Great
Britain is headvice to the people Of Ire
land to buy nothing from England unlees
obliged to. Itis a confession OF impotence
when Irish malice is driven to such pal,ry
erpedients, which, II tried, would only in
jure lis adopters. The lesson for Great
Britain is to ignore Irishmen and abandon
the hope OF bringing them TO abetter
frame OF mind by the continuance OF un.
merited iavofs. They have already con.
yinced the rest Of the world that they are
unfit to have a national Independence, and
they must be made to feel the strong hand
