The above heading is from the last New
York Post that the NEWS has received,
and applies directly to the position taken
by this paper a few days ago that there
is limit to the treaty-making P0Ter OF
the President and Senate. A firm brought
suit against the Collector of New York TO
recover duties said 10 have been
illegally paid upon sugars imported
from the Danish island Of st, CrOix, which
in the ordinary course OF business had
been paid in the port of New York. Den
mark wanted to introduce the sugar free
because our treaty with that government
stipulated that there should be no higher
duty imposed than that upon the impOrta-
tions of any other foreign eGs1ntry. and
Sandwich Island sugar was admitted fee.
judge Wallace, the United States District
Judge sitting il the Southern District Of
New York, was amazed at the argument
and said:
.sCan it be for moment supposed that
a stipulation in a treaty with a single
power exempting the products of that
country from the payment of duty when
imported here. made in the interest OF our
own commerce, could be intended 20 effect
such far-reaching abrogatiOn OF our own
revenue laws as would thus ensuey The
proposition is too startling TO be MAIN
tanned"
The Post insists that as treaties are the
supreme law OF tbs land, that the Danish
sugar under the treaty ought to be let in,
and that there is nothing startling" in
the theory OF the plaintiffs. Our cOntem-
pOrary believes that so long as treaties
are. by the Constitution, the supreme law
of the land, it does not make any diff
ference how far they 20. The case de-
ci&ed by Judge Wallace is to be appealed
to the Supreme Court of the United States,
but before that decision, or even in antici-
patton of it, there need &c no hesitation in
saving that the treaty-makiEg power
lodged I'm the President and Senate cannot
interfere with the iaH-making power
which Congress controls.

In the Interest of NFatrimony.

In spite Of the injunction that it is not
good for man to live alone, great many
men not only live alone, but seem to take
pleasure, upon the most unsuitable Occa-
sions and without the slightest prOyOca-
ton, to dwell upon what they call the fact
that there is no such Independent cOndi-
ton as single blessedness. To all such
ought to be commended the case Of Bailey,
the washerwOman, against Thomas (late
bachelOr), just decided in the Superior
Court of New York city. Mr..
Thomas had been a bachelor long
after he ought as all good men pro-
fess to think to have taken unto
himself a wife, and for some fifteen years
or more Mrs. Bailey had so far recognized
hfsexistence as TO do up his linen in very
creditabIe manner. The unfortunate Thorn
as kent no account as between himself
and the person who, according TO common
vernacuiar of the times, should be known
as the washerlady, but paid her five and
! ten dollars. as he or she happened to think
! about it.
Mr.. Thomas, however, after enduring
washerwoman for about thirteen years,
took a notion lnIO his ucduf tuAipu9
enough at that late date, that he
ought to marry. and, fearing that
it might not be lasting, put it
into practice at once. His wife, though
probably not jealous of the washer
woman. began to scrutinise the bills, and.
Disappearing them, induced the husband
| to dispense with the services of his faith
| full adherent. The result was that Mrs.
Bailey, being somewhat aggrieged at the
! loss OF a customer, sued him for what he
owed her. according to her account.
A considerable investigation followed,
but the result IS that Mrs,
Bailey has a judgment against Mr.. Thomas
for washing ten thousand four hundred
and seventy-six pieces, the amount being
eight hundred and seventy-three dollars.
There may not be any moral in this recital
of facts. but it looks as If bachelor
ought 70 marry his washerwoman on pay
his bill before he agrees in public to sup
port any other woman.

No senatorship Auctions South.

Whatever else may be said of the South
ern States and their Democratic Legisla-
lures. which send a large majority of the
Democratic Senators, it cannot be fairly
said of them that they cOrruptly choose
their members of the highest branch of
the National Legislature. In this re-
spect. at least, they occupy higher plane
of morality and political integrity than the
Northern States and their Legislatures,
whether Democratic or Republican, 1t
may be that men at the South do not buy
seats in the United States Senate as do
men at the North because they are poor
and have not the money with which to
operate. Whatever the reason, the fact
remains the same; and if that be the rea-
son, it is hoped that they will continue
poor for some time TO cOme-at least until
the proposed change in the mode of choos-
ing Senators BIZ the States is made.

Let Keifer, Robson & Co. Dissolve.
Not quite a month has yet to elapse ere
the session of the Forty-seventh Congress
shall have expired by limitation. NO
other Congress had such abundant oppor-
tuuities for making a record for eareful
and praiseworthv legislation. But Its
"a rIiest hours were signalized by the con-
summation Of disreputable bargain, by
which the Speakership Of the House
was assigned to a tool of the most
shameless Of the Radical leaders. The
House surrendered itself to the Robson
influence, and where it was not occupied
in doing his bidding il was seeking TO con-
suit the beneficiaries of protection. repre-
scented by Pig Iron'' Kelley. Time was
frittered away over contested elections
and pseudo efforts at reducing taxation.
The people viewed these proceedings
with disgust. and finally with indignation,
and in November last the popular
Judgment was entered in condemnation Of
this disgraceful Congress. Yet, I'M
abashed by the popular verdict, the Re
publican leaders sought to humbug the
people by essaying the delayed reforms.
Months have been wasted in the dis
cussion Of infamous schemes for the
further spOIiatiOn Of the people, and
every attempt at exposing these schemes
Is denounced as a thrust at the sO-called
s.business interests Of the country.
The real business interests Of the coun-
try are the interests of the masses, and,
if the projects of the Radical states
men are calculated to promote
those interests, the fact has
vet to be made clear. The sole thing left
in the way of decency for Keifer, Robson
& Co. to do is to finish the appropriation
bills and retire TO the obscurity to which
most of the members of the firm have been
| consigned. The peoples work has been
entrusted to other hands and will not be
done satisfactorily till those chosen to
| perform it shall assume it.

the country. The House bill reduces the

fusal to help in the management of poll
ties in that State in certain appointments

thing for the Republican party in Penn

President to take an active part in Penn
