The Tax ON Drummers.

To the Editors Of the Appeal:
There has been great deal said and
written in regard TO drummers not
being taxed in this State. Every man
in business will admit that dTummers
are useful to US, and | also believe
that very few people doing business
are in favor Of taxing those travelling
men who do legitimate business
which, il / understand it Alright, is TO
sell TO wholesale and retail dealers
Throughout the State. The public are,
perhaps, not aware that travelling men
re presenting large business houses in
the East, send their men to Memphis,
who will on their arrival canvass every
business house in their line, and after
supplying their wantP, will then can
yas5 every consumer they can find and
sell them from SO to $50 worth OF
goods, to the detrimt mt Of men in BUSH
ness here. Neither do al drummeTs
pay TAX. in five cases out OF ten
they evade the collector while in town.
| can give the names OF those
first. class houses in my line that fol-
low this business regularly OF selling
TO cns,omers. Mr.. Editor, unless the
society of travelling men who are now
petitiouing our Legislators and Con-
gressmen for the adjustment OF the
tax on their business do not put in
some proviso to prevent their coll
leagues from selling to consumers
without paying IS heavy tex as do
who reside here, then l should be
totally opposed to relieving them
from paying tax in every city, town
and village throughout this s ate:

cate any encouragement by your intlu-
entail journal of the giving of opinions
by the Supreme Court from the
bench" in Obligated" cases. The ex-
preston "irom the bench, as you un-
derstand, excludes the taking of the
caseunder consideration afterthe argu-
ment OF counsel. II is entirely too
soon TO encourage such an idea as
this. Wait until we know what sort
of Judges will be on the next Supreme
bench. We are uniformed rs vet
whether the cradle or the grave, or
both, will be robbed to supply the
next Supreme bench. We have even

rants who have never made with the
profession any character for learning.

present on the giving OF opinions
from the bench The Judges who
assume such a responsibility ought to
be mighty men" of law. The bar, as
Won well know, have not been salts

Mysterious Disappearance Cleared
lin.


MILWAUKEE, WIS, April 3.-Nearly
four years ago John NJ, Hislop, a
book keeper for Keepers & Riddell Of
the Milwaukee Bridge Works disap-
pcarcd suddenly and mysteriously.
His widowed mother and his friends
generally came to the conclusion that
he had either committed suicide or
had been murdered, and for days the
river near the point where he had
been seen the night of his departure
was dragged. From the day OF his
disappearance until yesterday nsither
his mother nor any of his friends or
acauaintances could learn anything
about him Yesterday a letter was
received by ex-Mayor Stowell Of this
city from Hislop, dated Philadelphia,
in which the young man explains his
sudden and mysterious disappearance.
II appears that he had worked for
several years trying TO invent patent
roller tlour-mill, and had borrowed
from Mr.. Stowell, who desired TO en-
courage him, sums OF money that ag-
gregated nearly $1,000. The invention
proved failure, and Hislop, hopeless
Of ever being able TO pay Mr.. Stowell
what he owed him, left the city quiet
ly. His mother still lives, and re-
ceived the news from her son with
feelings that maybe imagined. Hislop
is now working in a telegraph office
in Philadelphia.

REPUDIATED STATE BONDS
THE GEORGIA SECURITIES AGAIN
IN COURT.
Novel Legal Points TO BE Argued Be
fore the United States Su-
preme Court.

CHICAGO, ILL, April 3.-The Hon.
Robert T. Lincoln, OF the law tirm OF |
Isham & Lincoln, said this morning |
that his firm held bonds Of the face
value OF Sl00,00O issued by the State
of Georgia in 1869 and 1870, and since
repudiated, which they had been di-
rected to present to the State OF Hi
nois for the benefit of the Soldiers
Home. The bonds are among Others
bought up sby foreigners, and Tor a
long time have been in the hands OF
New York bankers. Mr.. Lincoln
stated that suit would be brought in
the United States Supreme Court
within a short time by the State of
Illinois against the State OF Georgia
to recover the amount of these repu-
dated bonds. In 1852 test suits were
brought by the States of New Hamp-
shire and New York against Louisiana
by the Acknowledgement, in the name
OF the States, TO recover the amount
of repudiated bonds by their citizens,
but the decision of the Supreme
Court, delivered by Chief-Justice
Waite, was that owners of State bonds
could not sue in the name of their
State after getting the consent of that
State, or one State could not assume
the prosecution of the debts of an
other State to its citizens. 1t is be-
cause of this decision that the present
mode of action has been decided
upon. While the suit promises to
provoke
INTERESTING QUESTIONS,
of the relations between States under
the constitution, Mr. Lincoln said it
was impossible to say what its issue
might be, although he was of the opin-
ion that the legal points to be cons d.
cred would be entirely novel to the
Supreme Court. Some time ago a
move was made with similar end in
view by Judge Lochrane of Georgia, as
American agent OF large number OF
German holders of repudiated bonds.
| A claim was filed against the United
States in the Court OF Claims at Wash
ington, in which the claim was set up
that the United States was liable fol
the debts contracted by the Southern
States directly governed by the general
government during the reconstruction
period This case, in which Messrs
1sham and Lincoln are also interested
will have a special hearing before the
Court of Claims next Monday morn
