Taxing Drummers.

In the Supreme Court of the United
States, on the 18th, in the case of Samuel
A. Waiiing .. The People Of The State
of Michigan, a law Of the State of Miehi-
gan imposing a tax on persons engaged
in the business of selling liquor in that
State to be shipped from any other State
was declared to be unconstitutional.
Walling, the plaintiff in error, who was
drummer for the firm of Kavanaugh
& Co., of Chicago, was prosecuted for
violation of the law. He was charged
in one court with selling liquor at whole
sale without license, and in another
with soliciting and taking orders for it,
sale, without license. He was con.
victed and sentenced to pay fine, and
WAS imprisoned in default of payment
The case was carried to the Su
preme Court of Michigan, which decided
against Waling. The Supreme Cour
of the United States held, Judge Bradley
delivering the opinion, that discrimi
mating tax imposed by a State operating
to the disadvantage of the products oil
other States when introduced in the
first mentioned State, is, i'll effect, a reg
ulation in restraint of commerce among
the States, and as such is a usurpatior
of the power conferred by the Constitu
ton upon the Congress of the United
States; and not to be upheld as al
exercise of the police power of the State
for the encouragement of the use o
Intoxicating liquors and the preserva
ton of the health and morals of thu
people because Of such discrimination
The court concludes its opinion a
follows:
eve think that the act in question
operates as a regulation of commerc
among the States in matter within tn
exclusive power of Congress, and that
is for this reason repugnant to the Cor
stitution of the United States, and tn
judgment of the Supreme Court @
Michigan is reversed and the case re
manded, with instructions to take sue
further proceedings as may not be il
consistent with this opinion"

The Telephone Suits.


On the I4th inst. Secretary LAMAR
furnished the Attorney General with
his conclusions concerning the contro-
versy having in view the annnlment OF
the Bell telephone patents.
Some time since suit was instituted
in the name of the United States, by
company of which attorney General
GARLAND was a member, to test the va
lidity OF the Bell patents, and it was
then claimed that the use of the name
of the Government should not hive been
granted by the Department of Justice,
in a matter connected with the Interior
Department, except on the recommen-
dation of the latter. In this view of the
case the pending suit was determined,
and proceedings were at once instituted
by those seking to establish the validity
of the Bell patents before the Secretary OF
the Interior with the object of securing
| from him a recommendation 10 the
Attorney-General that suit to test the

the name of the government. The in
vestigation before Secretary LAMAR was
conducted very much as if the merits o.
the controversy were to be determined
Evidence was heard on beth sides anC
elaborate legal arguments were mad'
and brief filed.
In the opinion of the Secretary tn
suit should be brought mot on the rela
ton or for the benefit of all or any Of
the petitioners, but in the interest o
the Government and the people an
wholly at the expense of the Govern
ment." That the Government ha

settled by numerous. precedents i

courts of the United States, and he SUI
tains the propriety of the action whic
he suggests by reference to the GROUND

patent, summarized as follows: l. I'll

tary says, describe the occasions
which the Government, upon my vie
ought to act for the cancellation of

Though the question of the validi

in that the petitioners have made ont

THE Fitz-John Porter case, which i:
again in Congress, has been so thor.
oughly discussed that nothing more re-
mains to be said, and it is hoped that
both Senate and House may dispose of
itpromptly. The minority Of the House
committee makes the usual report on
the subject, made up of pitiful techni-
calities questioning the power of Con-
gress to right the great wrong done to a
brave officer, and pleading lapse of time
as one of the excuses for denying him
justice. This lapse of time-now nearly
a quarter of century-during all of
which General Porter has been asking
for justice, is, in fact, the best reason
fer prompt action in the case. Every
day of delay adds to its force. -Phila-

and bad and indifferent politicians are
pretty much alike.
The newspaper is the only palpaoie
and indubitable connecting link-except
the tax collector between the American
citizen and his Government; and as the
the real newspaper is supported by the
people instead of by the officials and

a Bold Scheme.

The Republican majority in the Ohio
House, having unseated the Democratic
members elected from Hamilton county
and seated the Republican candidates
without any investigation, and in the
face of the opinion of the Supreme
Court of Ohio, that primd .tdcie, the
Democrats were entitled to their seats,
the Republican minority in the Senate
have determined upon highly revolu-
tionary scheme TO displace four of the
Democratic members of that body. The
plan as telegraphed to the New York
World is as follows:
On Tuesday or Wednesday [of this week
a Republican Senator is to rise to ques-
ton of privilege and offer resolution
similar to that under which the nine en-
ocrats in the House were uuseated, which
is 10 be referred to a select committee.
Lieut.-Gov. Kennedy will rule that the
four Senator's from Hamilton county are
not entitled TO vote ON the passage OF the
resolution, and the vote will stand seven
teen Republicans aud sixteen Democrats.
which will railroad the four Democrats
out and seat the four Republicans. All
the Democratic officers will then be ousted
and Republicans elected in their stead.
The execution of this plan will be re-
sisted by the Democrats. Under the rules
of the Senate Senator whose seat il dis
puted is entitled TO vote on all questions
except that TO unseat him. Two or more
Senators right to seats may not be tried
jointly and under the same resolution the
Clerk is empowered to call all the names
upon the roll except upon the vote for inal
expulsion, when the Senator whose case
is being voted upon, shall be omitted, and
no resolution concerning the right of a
Senator to hold . seat shall be declared
carried unless il receive q majority of all
the Senators upon the roll This requires
nineteen votes and the Republicans have
but seventeen. Lieut-Goy. Kennedy pro-
poses 70 ignore and disregard the rules.
refuse to let the four Hamilton county
Senators vote, and declare all motions and
resolutions carried by q majority vote OF
the remaining Senators, and as the
Republicans would have seventeen votes
TO sixteen Democrats they would have
things their own way.
Kennedy, in speech to the Senate. has
already threatened to carry out this pro-
gramme. The Hobbies of the Senate are to
be packed with representative ward strikers
and heelers, to give the revolutionary pre-
aiding officer physical as we'll as moral sup
port. During the commofi0n which would
necessarily ensue the Democratic Senators
would be declared ousted, the Republicans
admitted to seats and sworn in making the
Senate stand twenty-one Republicans 10
sixteen Democrats.

Tne Presidents Appointments.

II is said that in all cases where the
President has made nominations to I'LL
vacancies caused by the suspension OF
incumbents with fixed term of Office,
he Senate will call upon him to give
reasons for such suspension, and his
probable course in the event of formal
demand of that character is being much
discussed.
Upon the old common law maxim
that every right has its remedy, it would
seem that the absence of power on the
mart of the Senate TO enforce such de
mapd would be conclusive against the
right. The fact is tkat when the Senate
has made its demand and the President
has refused to comply with it, the mat
ter will be at an end. True, the Senate
can reject all nominations of persons TO
fill vacancies caused by suspension; but
it would hesitate to pursue so unjustifla-
bic a course 1t would be just a.
reasonable for the President TO demand
Of the Senate the reasons for the reJee
| ton Of nj. nominations, as for the Sen
ate TO demand of the President his rea
sons for making suspensions. The dut!
and Jurisdiction of each are clear ant

the power to suspend, and the Senat
alone has the power to confirm. III
