4 curious Interstate commerce case
has arisen in Iowa. Complaint was
made to the Iowa Railway Commission
that a railway had charged a higher rate
for freight from a point in Illinois to a
point in Iowa than for a similar service
for a like distance wholly within the
state of Iowa. One of the commission
ers, Coffin, by rather ingenious argu-
ment. held that the commission had
Jurisdiction of the case. In substance
his argument was that "IOwa, by
becoming State, agreed to do nothing to
interfere with free and unrestrained COM
merce between the States, delegating its
right to do so to Congress; but if it per-
mits a railway running into it from an
other State to make discriminating or I'M
equal rates like the one complained Of it
is interfering with Interstate commerce,
therefore it must have power to prevent
such determinations in order not to be
guilty of doing what it has agreed not to
do"
Without raising any question as to the
soundness of Commissioner Collins argu-
ment and conclusion, it is worthy of no
uce that the disposition Of railway COM
missions is to enlarge their jurisdiction
and 10 assume powers which the law
from which they derive their authority
does not give them.

The color question has been giving the
Republicans infinite trouble at nearly all
their State and district conventions this
spring, ana it seems that they are not
done with it yet. 1t is understood that
the half-and-half delegation from Missis-
sippi will present the name Of ex-senator
Bruce, now Register OF the Treasury, to
the Chicago Convention as a candidate
for Vice President. 1t is stated that
Bruce is too modest to use any effort to
obtain the second place on the ticket, but
that he has expressed his determination
not to decline the honor should it be ten
dered to him. If the Republicans have
any feeling of gratitude towards the negro
race, which has so often saved their
party from defeat, they will nominate
Bruce for Vice President. Blaine and
Bruce ought to be a strong Republican
ticket

A Claim Growing Out of the Great
Fraud


A claim growing out of the great fraud
Of 1876 has just been settled in the Court
of Claims at Washington. John T. South
worth was a United States Commissioner
at New Orleans in 1876, and in his capacity
as Commissioner he struck off the registry
list the names of s, 2S3 New Orleans voters.
Afidavits had been made by various
parties that the list contained 10000
fraudulent names. SOuthwOrth spent
weeks in a pretended attempt to verify
the truth Of the aflidavits. The result of
his work was the striking from the list
the number of names above stated. There
is no question that his action was high
handed outrage. There was no way
for SOuthworth to get his pay ex-
cept by making claim for it in
the United States Court of Claims.
The Department of Justice would not al
low it. The fact was Southworth pro-
posed to make a fortune in few weeks.
He claimed $40 for each name stricken off
the list. His entire clam amounted to
So, $50. SOuthwOrth died from terrible
disease over two years ago. His widow
continued to prosecute the claim. The
decision which the Court Of Claims reach
ed was that payment should be made for
seventy-seven of the cases, but that the
claim should be disallOwed as to all the
others, because SouthwOrth was guilty of
an unlawful and unauthorized act" 1t
is pity that the acts of some of the
others who figured in the great Gaudhav
not been passed upon by an unbiased and
bipartisan court.

The Proverbial Incapacitx.

From the outside it looks very much as if
one interruptions adventurer had traded
upon the Grant name and reputation, taking
good care in the very outset that he and only
he should handle all the chestnuts that the
Grant cat's-paw drew out of the fire. There
was the prOverbial Grant incapacity to see
that the Grant reputation was being used in
a private capacity to victmize both the Grant
family and the financial public, just as it was
used by the Babcocks and public robbers Of
former days, when the senior Grant occupied
the highest public position in the gift Of the
American people. No one viii accuse either
Of the Grants, father or sons, with intentional
dishonesty in the present case, but what VIII

heretofore had some reputation for COM
mon sense. not TO say justice, will persist
in the assertion that Carlisle and MOrri-
son have failed 20 display the qualities Of
able leadership. Their success as leaders
has been phenomenal, as, under the
severest fire their defeated and dis
gruntled enemies could keep up against
them. they have had the earnest, enthusi-
sstic support OF nearly four-ffths Of the
Democrats IN Congress. They have been
diEnifed, candid and faithful in every re-
spect. How different has been their con-
duct from that Of the boilers, who have
pursued an uncandid, bulIdozing, treadh-
er0us policy from the beginning Of the
present session Of Congress. Carlisle and

spect II the party, and there is no danger

that they may be replaced by those who

feat the ayoWed policy Of their party.

When will the War be Over d?

1t is sometimes remarked that certain stall
warts don't seem to know that the cruel war
is ended. The tax-gatherer does not know,
and Congress is on par with the stalwart
and taX-gatherer. During the past ten
months the government received from war
taxes still in force the sum of $S5, 60S.777 over
and above what it had to pay out. So it has
been for nineteen years since people supposed
the war was ended.

4 meeting of the corporators of the
above company was held in this city yes
terday. This is the canal to the advanc-

devoted many years Of his life. 1t appears
from what Gen. McLaws said in his in

ING NEWS, and also from the proceedings
OF the meeting held yesterday, in this

of Florida, that the project is at
tracing the attention of European CAPT
talists, and that the company will doubt
less soon be organized On a working basis.
1t is to be hoped that if there is any con-
fict Of interests or purpose among the in
cOrpOratOrs it will be harmOnized upon
mutually satisfactory plan, and that no
straining OF legal technicalities will be
allowed to interfere with the consumma-
tion of this great work, as it appears that
all parties have the same object in view.
