IN tho United States court at Des Moincs,
Judge McCrary has decided that tho Iowa
law Of 1874 could not operate so rs to limit
railway charges between two points, one of
which Is in another state, holding that it would
be an infringement of the right Of the United
States to regulate interstate commerce. But
the United States supreme court has gono
farther and decided that state cannot regu-
late local commerce within state if carried
on in n steamboat travelling between point
without and one within state. This was in
u Louisiana case, where q woman recovered
judgment in state court for having
boon denied the first class accommo-
dations on steamboat which tho
state law required for hor. The United
States supreme court reversed the decision
on the ground that, although sho took pas
sage from ono point to another within tho
state it was on steamboat making trips
between two states, and that, therefore, all
regulations for way passengers within tho
state must bo the same as for interstate
passengers, and that the state. had no right
to pass any laws on the subject That power
it claimed for congress under the grant to
regulate commerce between the states. The
aggricved party should have sued under the
civil rights act in u federal court. The re-
cent decision reserves that very point.

THE MAN ON THE AVENUE.

There is, of course, no concealment Of the

soners' offices, but tho seeker for informa-
tion gets no particular assistance, under the
present administration, in his investigation.
newspaper man called upon Capt. Green
recently, supposing him TO DO tho best in
formed upon the subject of paving, and sup
posing, enormously as it appeared, that he
could obtain from that officer some of his in
formation.
"What do you wantP" inquired Capt.
Green.
The visitor introduced himself, and stated
his desire for information upon tho subject of
paving.
"What do you want to know about itP ?"
"To whom have most of the contracts been
awarded during the year2'
"To the lowest bidder
"Thank you. viii you kindly tell me the
lowest bidders name ?"
"a. l., Barber and Crawford"
(Which one had the most of them ?"
Z Barber. Sometimes Barber was the only
bidder"
"Is it true that Barber owns all the asphalt
there sp"
"Thats his business; not mine"
"Do you know"
"No; / don't know. 1t isn't my business.
What are you trying to get at, anyway"

about the paving done in the District of CO.

years. They say on tho street that Barber

it investigated if it's done in proper way"
'Do you consider this an improper way?"
II don't consider that newspaper inter-
view with me is the proper way to 90 at it,"
You have probably misunderstood me.

"I don't know until l get it,"

is in my printed reports"
"What period of time do they cover?"
"The four years previous to June 80, 1882.
You can have those reports"
"And the contracts since June 30, 1892"
"You can have them when my next report is
published, which will be in about two weeks"
Isn't there some way in which can get
that information now?"
"Not until the report is published"
The newspaper man carried away five
printed annual reports, which contained
much valuable information, doubtless, but
which, like last years almanacs, were not of
much Importance for present use.

EDITOR GoRHAM is the only republican editor
who has permitted himself to get excited over the
civil rights decision. The urgent necessity of
tightening Mahones grip on the colored voters of
Virginia explains Editor Gorham's almost phe-
nominal singularty in this respect Washington
Post
Wrong again, and yet again. There is no
excitement hereabout over the civil rights
decision. 1t covers great field, and The
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN will steadily pre-
sent its views on that and all kindred sub
tects. Civil rights have been under debate
some centuries, and will continue to be dis
cussed as long as they are resisted or abridged.
Unsettled questions have no pity for tho
repose of nations. As to the colored voters of
Virginia, their rights have never been as
secure. as they are under the righteous reign
of the rcadjusters. No acts of congress nor
decisions of the supreme court can in any
wise affect their privileges SO long as they
keep the state out of bourbon hands This
they are aiding to do. This they were never
alb le to do until they Joined the coalition
Hence the coalition is gall and wormwood
to the old bourbon ruling class.

OUR esteemed morning contemporary ex-
plains that "only for revenue" in tho demo-
cratic tariff plank of 1876 was intended to
mean that the raising of revenue was the
only necessity which, under tho constitu-
ton, could be held to justify the lcvying of a
tax" Well, then, why does our neighbor ex-
haust its vocabulary of invective to demolish
Watterson's "mistake of four letters" in 1880,
viz: IA tariff for revenue only" What is the
difference between tariff "omy for revenue"
and tariff "for revenue oalyP" Tho former
is rildcns, the latter is Wattcrson's. Why
praise Tilden and abuse Wattorson if they arc
the same? If they are different, in what does
the difference consist? We arc likely to re-
peat this question frequently until it is salts
factorily answered, or until Tilden is blamed
or Watterson vindiCated.

An Explanation From Gen. Rosecrsns.


We take pleasure in publishing a lotter
from Gcn Rosocrans on the subject
of his late interview in THE
REPUBLICAN. 1t is probably tho most
remarkable cpistolary effort Of his life. Tho
writor starts out with the evident intention
of rcdonying tho accuracy of tho report of
his interview, but winds up with an admis-
sion of its entire truthfulness in every essen
tial particular.
His principal grievance appears to bo that
the reporter did not tako any notes of the
talk, stenographic or photographic"
although he admits that the article was
wonderful effort" of memory. Tho only
positive exceptions he takes to tho report is
that the writer of the interview represented
him as saying that he called for opinions of
corps and division commanders after instead
Of before the capture of Tullahoma, and that
IL was impossible to cross any considerable
stream in tho presence of ali opposing army
instead Of that it was next to impossible
for an army to cross great river" &c. On
those two points the reporter expresses per-
feet willingness to stand corrected to crafty
the general.
Remember" he repeats, "the reporter
took no notes." The reporter pleads guilty
to that charge also in view of the fact that
tho general recognizes the report as n
"wonderful effort of memory" Splendid
report" sc.
" Had the proof sheets been submitted to
me- he observes toward the close of his
letter, " should have stricken out what was
said of Gen. Garfield and Gen. Wood, not be-
cause of uHtruth, but because it had the
authors sharp inferential edges, and because
all that I said about them was intended
merely to guide the young man in his future
studies of history, in which they were actors,
and was not intended for publication"
Oh, that is it Gen. Rosecrans said these
things, but he didn't want them to leak out as
coming from him! oh, yes! If they could
be given to the public as coming from some
body else it would be all right.
AS to the oft-repeated assertion that the
general did not know that he was being in
terviewed, we have only to say that tho
generals memory is very faulty. lie cer-
tainly knew he was being interviewed, and
his last words to the reporter were expressive
of his entire willingness to let the report go
without revision, coupled with full and free
permission to use any and everything that
was said in the course of the conversations.

POSTAL ESTIMATES.

The Amount OF Revenues for the Year
BEGINNING July 1 NeSt-E Estimated Ex-
pendtture.
The estimated amount of postal revenues
for the fiscal year beginning on July next,
including 100000 estimated receipts from tho
money order business, is $i7,10i079. The
estimated expenditure for the. same time is
$4,000, 1S9, which will leave deficiency in
revenue of $2,05S,111. or little less than 6
per cent. of the total expenditure. The esti-
mato for compensation Of postmasters for tho
next year Is S12,250,00O, an increase OF 3d.
100000 or sS per cent. over the appropriation
for tho present year. The estimate for clerks
in postofiices is S4,900000, an increase of
$4,000, or SO per cent. Tho estimate for
the free delivery service is 100000, or S.5 per
cent Tho estimate for railway mail trans
portation is $12.750,000, an increase of ST.
050,00O, or 6,S per cont; for steamboat routes
$625.000, an increase of $4,000, or Al per
cent; foa star routes S5,60O,000, an in
crease of $3,500,000 or SO per cent. for
railway postal service, S1,625,000, an in
crease of $4,000, or 81 per cent, and for
railway postal clerks, $i,205, ,269, an increase
OF S3lS,160, or 7.2 per cent In his message.
TO congress recommending the reduction of
letter rate to 9 cents, President Arthur ex-
pressed the opinion that the reduction would
cause q deficiency of $1,000, 900 in the first
year, and the official estimate just given
shows his estimate to have been within about
$4,000 of the deficiency, as computed upon
the receipts of the department when the 2
cent rate was in practical operation. Post
master Huidekoper, of Philadelphia, who
was at one. time strongly opposed to the adop-
tion of the 2 cent letter postage, now declares
that the wisdom of the change has been amply
proven by the increased business in his office,
and that he no longer doubts the complete
success of the undertaking.

The SSO3,iT0.3T job.

The above arc the exact figures taken from
the treasury by the job which Reformcr
Charles Emory Smith, of the Philadelphia
Press, originated and carried through. His
paper WAS tho principal sharer in the grab.
Mr.. Smith, aftersx weeks silence, now claims
that il was in the interest of increased postal
facilities. This is the same answer made by
tho participants in "tho star route con-
spiracy" MIR. Smith now says he is willing
TO have the whole matter investigated.
When he prints in his paper copy of his
letter addressed to any member of the next
house demanding an investigation THE RE-
PUBLICAN will believe he is in earnest. His
talk about the suppression OF records aud
documents is baby talk. Congress has power,
not only to get the papers, but also the state
ments under oath of the officers knowing all
the facts.
