COURT OF REFEREES

THIS Court on yesterday ceased its
,bors, expiring by limitation. The
original act creating the Court of
Refesees providing for separate
court for each grand division for the
period Of two years. At the end of
this period by legislative enactment
the middle section was prolonged
one year. This p eriod has just ex-
pired. The Judges who have Presi-
ded are John A. Tinnon, w. c.
Caldwell and w. L. Eakin.
They found about 1909 cases on
the docket, and about 500 we're fled
since. They leave about 200 cases
on the docket They have tried near
ly 1000 cases. The difference lie
tween this and the whole number
of cases represent those which were
compromised and settled outside Of
the Court. The act required that
a detailed report be filed in each
cause, which necessarily greatly in
creased their labors else the DISPOSE
would have been more rapid.
About so per cent. of the causes
tried have been uuexcepted to, and
comparatively speaking, small pei
centage of those which went to the
higher court have been reversed.
The members OF this court, by
patient hard work, ability and
courteous treatment of the bar,
have won universal re spect and com
mendation. American

The raving maniac of the Chicago

blood runs down on his beard
because JEFF Davis was not shot by
the soldiers who captured him, or
hanged by the Government after
he was captured. Fortunately, the

soldiers, and not cowardly ruffians
like the fellow of the Tribune, and as
for the hanging it is equally fortunate

EDITOR BULLETIN:

In your Editorial last week on
the Educational Bill; appears this
sentence; No Constitutional objection
eau he urged to the distribution of
the proceeds of the Public Lands for
Educational purposes. If these can,
where is the Constitutional objection
to devoting any other money in fhe
public Treasury to the same purpose?
When the lands are sold the proceeds
go into the Treasury in the same
manner as money from other sources,
and Is drawn out in the same way.
A dollar IN the Treasury is the prep
erty of the u. S. No difference tlal
I can see, where it comes from.
This was the view which President
Pierce took of this question in his
veto Message on the INDECENT In
sane Land BilI". Please explain the
difference. This IS net written in a
critical, captious spirit, but for Infor-
nation. There must be some point
in 1t which | fail to see. No doubt
many of your readers arein the same
condition.
Again, suppose a bill of the char
acter you suggest should pass and
become a law. Could not the next,
or any succeeding Congress with
draw the public lands from sale, and
thus defeat the law2 An answer to
the above questions, would no doubt
enlighten many of your readers.

r. l.. l.,
In answer to the first question
propounded by r. L. L. we will say,
that all who are familiar with our
Constitution recognize the fact that
there is a wide difference between
donating the Public lands, for any
public purpose, and taxing the peo-
pie for that purpose. This distlnc
ton has bean recognized for years,
by all constitutional lawyers, and
political parties. But the principal
difference is this: Congress has the
control of the public lands by an
express provision Of the constitu-
tlon-section 3 of Art is in these
words, Congress shall have power
to dispose of, and make all needful
rules and regulations respecting the
Territory, or other property belong
ing to the United States. That this
provision gave the people, through
their representatives in Congress,
the right to make any disposition
they might desire of their public
lands, has never been questioned.
Congress having only such power
as is conferred upon 1t by the COM
stitution, either in express terms, or
by necessary implication, cannot
levy tax for any purpose, unless
authorized to do SO by that Jnstru-
ment' Under clause /, Section 8,
of Art I, Congress has the power to
levy taxes for three purposes, and
three only. They are q. to pay the
public debt. (2.) To provide for
the common defence. a. To pro
vide for the general elfare. The,
collection of taxes to turn over to
the States to keep up public schools
is not mentioned. If that power had
been conferred upon Congress, there
would be no difference in the two
propositions stated by r. l.. L. The
difference is simply this: Congress
may dispose Of the public lands, or
its proceeds, as it thinks best, butit
has no power to levy and collect
taxes TO keep up a system Of COM
mon schools in the several states.
AS to the last proposition: OF
course if Congress should pass a bill
donating the proceeds of the public
lands to school purposes, the next, or
any subsequent Congress, could
repeal it, just as it could repeal the
Blair bill. One Congress. or one
State Legislature, cannot enact a
law which a subsequent session Of
the same body cannot repeal. But
that is no argument for or against
either Of the proposed measures.
R. L, L. was right when be said,
''there must be some point in it
which l fail to see"
