A CANAL CASE
Decided in Favor of the Illinois
missiGners.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-A decision was
rendered to-day by the United States su-
preme court in the case of William l.. Huse
and others, appellants against Joseph
Glover an others. canal commissioners. an
appeal from the circuit court of the United
States for the northern district of Illinois.
The questions presented by this case relate
to the navigation OF the Illinois river. The
state OF Illinois acting under authority OF
various acts Of her legislature adopted about
1867 a system of measures for the improve
ment of the navigation OF the Illinois river.
Among these measures were the cOnStruc-
ton Of locks and dams at Henry and at Cop
peras creek, and the appointment of board
OF canal commissioners TO manage them,
and to prescribe rates of toll for the passage
of vessels. The compiainants, Huse.
LOOmis & Co., are engaged in cutting ice at
Peru and other points and transporting it
down the Illinois and Mississippi rivers to
st. Louis. Memphis and other southern
markets. They contend that the dams and
locks at Henry and Copperas creek colsti-
tute an impeachment to the navigation of the
Illinois river, and that
THE TOLLS COLLECTED
from vessels which pass through these locks
are in violation of Article of the ordinance
for the government of the territory Of the
United States northwest of the Ohio river
passed July 3, 1877, and of that article of
the United States constitution which pro-
hiblts the imposing OF duty on tonnage by
any state without the consent of congress.
They therefore pray that the defendants in
this case, who are the canal commissioners,
may be restrained from collecting such tolls
and from interfering in any way with the
free navigation of the river The court
holds, first following its decision in the
case of Escanaba and Chicago 1O7, United
States, 1869, that the ordinance of
1857 could not control the authority and
power Of the state after her admission.
Whatever the limitations on her power as
government whilst in territorial condi-
tioE, whether from the ordinance of 1857
or the legislation Of congress, it ceased to
have any operative force. except as
voluntarily adopted by her after
she became state of the Union.
Second, that even apart from these cOnsid-
erationS the terms OF the ordinance of 1857
were not violated by the construction of the
dams and locks in question. Third that
the eXaction of tolls through the locks is
in the nature OF compensation for the use
OF artificial facilities and not impOStS upon
the navigation Of the stream. If, in the
opinion of the state, greater benefit would
result to her commerce from the improve
ments made than from leaving the river in
its natural conditions, and that point the
state must necessarily determine for itself,
then it has full power to authorize such i'm
prOvements, even although they may cause
increased inconvenience and expense to the
business of individuals. The decree of the
circuit court in favor of the canal commits
SOnerS is affirmed.

A Caucus rhnt win Never be Held.

Ever since the campaign for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination opened,
there has been much talk of an East
Tennessee caucus. 1t is nearly month
before the State convention is to be held,
but that caucus is dead cock in the
pit" The object was TO make sure of
the nomination of an East Tennessee
man, but the spirit of brotherly kindness
among those who are seeking nomina-
ton is not so marked now as it was when
this friendly caucus was first proposed.
If any one doubts the assertion that
no such caucus will ever be held let him
look around. In the first place General
Dibrell will receive the votes IA the coun.
ties of Sequachee, Blcdsoc, Rhea and
Cumberland, together with majority in
McMinn and one third Of Marion. But
his principal strength lies beyond the
mountains and of course he wants no
East Tennessee caucus.
While Henderson is strong in this sec.
tion--no man more popular--he has been
out-maneuvered and on the first ballot
will receive light vote from East Ten
nessee, though he is said to be strong in
other parts Of the State. Therefore his
friends will be opposed to having the
matter settled by an East Tennessee eau
Gus, and he is really under no obligations
to submit to such proceeding
While Taylor Is strong In East Tennes-
see and will have more votes on the first
ballot than any other candidate from this
section with the possible exception of
Williams, he has also developed consid.
erable strength In other sections Of the
State and his friends are beginning to say
that 1t would mt be fair to leave his claims
to be settled by sectional caucus.
The friends Of Williams have all along
appeared anxious to have the matter set.
tied by a caucus Of the delegates form
East Tennessee. We arc not sure that
they are now so anxious for such Il eau.
Gus as they were. But having sut-man-
aged all his East Tennessee competitors
and being able to start out with good
showing from the beginning he is pro.
badly still In favor Of caucus.
John Allison, like Henderson, will not
make much of Of show in East Tennes.
see, but he is well known throughout the
State and expects support from other
sections, so he will want no such caucus.
The same is true of Mcconnell. SO II
such q caucus were attempted, there are
plenty of persons who will be opposed TO
II to defeat 1t. 1t Is o foregonc conclu.
sion that II will never be held. With the
possible exception of Williams, the East
Tennessee candidates will prefer to take
their chances In the full convention than
to submit to the action Of an East Ten
nessec caucus. The caucus project Is
dead. .--Knorrfllc Journal.
