LOUISVILLE, February 2.-The interest
in the Senatorial contest is still at white
heat, and will remain so till the nom
ination is made. With Sweeney with

but the indications are that Carlisle will

result. There is much talk OF Carlisle
and his chances appear better than ever
before. Sweeney thinks Blackburn will
win. The caucus meets again Monday.

OBITUARY.
Wendell RhiIlins.

BosToN, February 2.-Wendell Phillips is
dead. He began to show signs of dissolu-
ton at 4:30 o'clock p. m. and died at
O'Clock. He was conscious up to the hour
of his death.
Phillips was i'll just one week, but not
until Thursday was his condition consid-
cred dangerous by his physicians. Thurs
day night he failed rapidly, but Friday
rallied slightly and passed a fairly COM
Portable night. This afternoon his illness
took critical turn, and he gradually
failed and passed quietly away about 6
o'clock, in the presence OF wife and niece.
Phillips was in his seventy third year.
Arrangements for the funeral are not yet
completed, and probably will not be held
for several days.
BIOGRAPHICAL.
Wendell Phillips, orator and author, was born
at Boston, Mass, Noyember 20, 1911, graduated
from Harvard College in 1881, from Cambridge
folk county bar in the following year. The anti
slavery movement in Boston commenced in 1885
with the mobbing of William Lloyd Garrison,
Rev. Elijah p. Lovejoy, in 1887, when Mr.. Phil
lips joined the small band of Abolitionists in
Apti-Slavery, Temperance and Woman's Rights
reforms, as well as with those for the ameliora-
tOn OF the G criminal n law His ,gaTning and eo
his views. He has mingled lectures and
orations on literary, historical and scientific sub
jects with those on reform and enjoys the repu-
tation of being one of the most effective orators
in America, Since the emancipation of the
slaves, and the granting of all civil rights the
people of color, Mr.. Phillips has devoted much of
his attention to other reforms, and has manifested
a somewhat guerulous spirit, which has Imp paired
his influence. He was the candidate of the Pro-
hibitory Liquor Law and Workingmen's S parties

very moderately supported. Mr.. Phillips has

THE COUPON CASES.
A Correct Statement OF Mr.. Royali's Conuec'
tion with the Special License Tax

The statement OF what was done In the
United States Circuit Court on Tuesday in
William l.. Royals habedS corpus case
was inaccurate in some respects. What
was actually done was a. follows:
Mr.. Royal was indicted for selling cou-
pons without having paid the special Ii.
| cense tax OF $1,000. lie was arrested, and
applied to Judge Hughes in June last for
writ OF td6edS corpus TO discharge him
from custody. Judge Hughes awarded the
writ, but upon the hnal hearing he hel1 the
law imposing the tax to be constitutional,
and refused TO discharge the petitioner.
Instead Of remanding the petitioner he
bailcd him 10 appear before the supreme
Court at its present term. At the begin
ging Of the present term Mr.. Royal ap-
piled 10 the supreme Court for writ Of
certiOrdri TO review and reverse Judge
HUg CHESS order. The Supreme Court held
that Judge Hughes had no right TO bail Mr..
Royal 10 appear there, and 1t refused his
petition for the writ. Thcreupon. on Tues
day. Judge Hughes made an order that the
Marshal take Mr. Royal 10 the Sergeant OF
the city OF Richmond and deliver him into
his custody. This was done, and Mr.. Roy
all was admitted to bail.
At the same time that the Supreme Court
decided the above ease il decided that OF
Crouch. In this cHse Crouch had rendered
coupons in PAYMENT Of sample-mcrchan's
licenSe-taX. The coupons were refused.
whereupOn Crouch sold goods by sample
without any license. He was indicted and
arrested. Mr.. Royal applied TO the SUI
prCme Court for writ Of hdbeGS corpus 10
discharge him. The supreme Court held
I'm effect that Mr.. Crouch. under the spe-
cial circumstances OF his clSe, must make
MS defence in the lIustings Court at his
trial, and come up - the supreme Court
by writ OF error.
llr. Royal brought >uit under the
coupon-killer acts without having paid the
special license.taX OF $3.50 required OF law
yers who practice under that law. He was
indicted and arrested for this. lie applied
10 the Supreme Court for a writ Of hG5eds
corpus to discharge him from this prosccu-
tion. The supreme Court awarded the
writ. but directed counsel, before the writ
should issue. To argue before il the ques-
ton whether Congress can, underthe Con-
stitutlon, confer upon it jurisdiction to
take a prisoner by hdbeGS corpus out Of the
custody oi State court before his con-
yiction when he is held under an uncon>ti-
tutional law. This question was clabo-
rately argued on December the lst before
the supreme Court. and !. now under itS
adyisement. This i a correct statement

The money thus realized will be placed

OF using the proceeds to erect State-Li-

ct the recent session Of the Legislature that
though property is not now selling at the
highest price, vet, at the present low rate OF
State bonds, the sale will probably now net
the State as much As it could at any other
time. Property is not high; neither are
State bonds.
All payments for this property are to be
made in United States currency.
