Important Decision Of the National. SUI
premo Court.

The supreme court OF the United States
rendered an important decision bearing up.
on the question of interstate commerce,
and particularly interesting as itdeals with
the right OF a state to interfere with the
sale OF liquor within it's borders by citizens
OF other states. The court holds the broad
proposition that no state has the right
to discriminate against the citizens or the
product OF other states, ever though such
discrimination be based on the exercise oil
the police power, and designed to preserve
the health and morals OF the people. The
syllabus OF the decision is as follows:
No. TAI. Samuel A. Walling against the
people ofthe state Michigan. InJune, 1883,
Walling was prosecuted in the police court
OF Grand Rapids, Mich, under a state law
imposing u tax on persons engaged in the
business Of selling liquor in that state to
be shipped from any other state. He was
a drummer for the firm OF C~avanagh q
Co. OF Chicago, and he was charged lin one
court with selling liquor at wholesale with
out a license, and in another with selling
and taking orders for its sale without a
license. He was convicted and sentenced
to pay a fine, and was imprisoned in de-
fault of payment. He appealed to the
tried by a jury, and found guilty.
The case was carried to the su.
preme court OF Michigan, which de-
decided against Walling. The question in
the case is whether the statute under which
Walling was prosecuted is repugnant to the
constitution of the United States. This
court he'd Judge Bradley delivering the
opinion) that a discriminating tax i'm.
posed by a state operating to the disad-
vantage OF the products OF other states
when introduced into the first mentioned
state is in effect a regulation in restraint OF
among the states, and as such
is a usurpation OF the power conferred by
the constitution upon the congress OF the
United States. The supreme court OF
Michigan held that the tax imposed by the
act is an exercise OF the police power Of
the state for the encouragement of the use
Of Intoxicating liquors and the pres
ervation of the health and morals Of
the people. The supreme court OF the
United States holds that this would be n
perfect Justification of the act if it did not
discriminate against the citizens and prod
ucts Of other states and thus usurp one OF
the prerogatives OF the national legisla-
ture. The court concludes: I'VE think
the act in question operates as a regula-
ton OF m among the states in a
matter within the exclusive power Of con-
gress, and that it is for this reason repug-
nant to the constitution of the United
States. and void. The judgment OF the
supreme court of Michigan is reversed and
the ease remanded, with instructions to
take such further proceedings as may not
be Inconsistent with this opinion" The
decision applies to every state and terri
tory and the drummers will n~olonger be
compelled TO pay license in other states
than thosein which they live.

Charles j. Cando is forty-eight years old
and a native OF France, but came TO this
country when an infant. In his early man
hood he was engaged in the banking bust
ness until he became the private secretary OF

ofthe Northwestern railway. Mr.. Ogden and
s. j. Tilden were great friends, and it was
while in the employ OF Mr.. Odgen that Mr..
Cando formed the acquaintance OF Mr.. Til
den, which has since ripened into friendship.
In 1875 Mr.. Cando was appointed a men,
Der OF the rapid transit committee, which
laid out the system OF elevated railroad
transit now in New York city. Since then
he has been engaged in reorganizing rail-
road companies in the west. During the

Gen. Halleok's Enmlty to General Grant.

Army officers here who know the secret
OF the bitter hostility that existed between
Gen. Grant and Gen. Halleck s2y that
when Gen. MCClellan's private war papers
are made public a profound sensation will
be created and the hatred OF Grant for
Halleck will be no longer a mystery. An
officer who has seen the documents pre-
served by Gen. Mcclellan says:
On Feb. 1G, 1862, Gen. Grant sent his
famous unconditional surrender" to Gen.
Buckner at Fort Donelson. The news OF
the surrender had thrilled the North from
one end to the other. Gen. Halleck, then
at st. Louis, was troubled vt tie great re.
nown so suddenly attained by his subor-
dinate officer. Two days after the surren.
der McClellen telegraphed as follows to
Halleck; 'Where is Grant? George b Nc.
Clellen. major general commanding" The
same day Gen. McCleilen received the fol-
lowing: Gen. George B. McClellen, Wash
ington: In answer to your question, would
say Grant is somewhere in the rear of the
army drunk. INV .Halleck, Major General"
Of course what Mcclellan desired to know
from his question was the whereabouts Of
Grants forces. The reply OF Halleck was
all the more ineXcusable from the fact that
Grant had kept him constantly posted Of
his aims and plans, and on that very day
had telegraphed Halleck that he proposed
to go ahead on n gunboat and reconnoiter
the river in the direction of Nashville and
his army would follow. Gen. Mcclellan
kept the originals OF all his dispatches and
certified copies were made for the wer de-
partment. Three or four years ago zen.
Grant read these original dispatches, " hich
was the first intimation that he had ever
mad that they were in existence.

The commissioner Of the general land
office has written the following letter to w.
r Green. a banker of Bangor, Oak:
In reply to your letter OF the 9Th inst,
desiring to be informed as to my "aims and
purposes" in my late rulings, you are adj
yised that I propose to execute the laws as
they stand. Entrymen OF public lands are
required to comply with the con-
ditions prescribed by law. Their entries
must be confirmed by this Office before
patent can issue. The action OF the regis
ter and receiver in the acceptance OF proofs
and issuing certificates is preliminary only
not final nor conclusive, but subject to re-
view and final action by this office and de-
partment. Conveyances, after final entry
and the issue Of receivers receipt, are al
lowable and legal as between the parties,
but purchasers before patent take their own
risk. The government has the right, and
NAV cancel an entry for fraud, illegaity or
Noncompliance with the law. These are
not innocent purchasers" and nave never
been so treated in the practice or decisions
of the departments or by the courts. For
your further information upon this point
YOU are referred to the decision o. Secretary
Teller in the case Of G. Z. CogsW ell, 3 l.. D.,
80. IdOnOt propose to conform fraudulent
entries If | knew them to be so, and do
propose to find out those which are honest
and separate from those which are to be
found otherwise, and have honest entries
patented and fraudulent Cancelled.
Information having been received at the
general land office that settlers in Dakota
are requested by clerks OF courts and local
officers to make proof in duplicate, thus
involving them in double expense. Commits
aioner Sparks instructed the register and
receiver at Aberdeen that this practice is
without authority, and must be forthwith
discontinued, and money illegally collected
be refunded to the settlers.

upon him regarding the charges
made against him through the columns

Batoche, scalped a dead Indian. He said;
There is not a word OF truth in the charg-
es made. The facts are simply these: On
the day following the battle OF Batoche.

old White Cap, head OF the Sioux tribe,
who had their reserve at Saskatoon,
where they lived since having been driv-
en- out OF Minnesota after the ter
rible massacres there in 1862, / took my
knife and simply cut off the scalp lock as

two good.sized eagles feathers, the TUT
being bound about with a long strip OF
