WESTERN UNION MUST PAY THE TAX.
Tho Supreme Court SO Decides II the Sui
Brought by Massachasctts.


WASHINGTON, March 19.-The Supreme
Court decided to-day that the tax assessed by
the State OF Massachusetts, against the Western
Union Telegraph Company is q valid tax. Tho
company had refused to pay the tax on the
ground that all except 49s miles Of its 2S33
miles OF line In Massachusetts were over or
along post roads. made such by tho United
States. and argued that under sections 6.263 to
$3.50, Revised Statutes, 1t had the right to op-
crate its limo over such roads without being
subject to taxation by the State authori-
ties. The court below decided against tho tel
egraph company. and enjoined 1t from op-
Grating its lines within the limits of the State
until the tax should be paid.
The Supreme Court holds that the statute
which grants telegraph companies the privi-
lege Of running their lines through and over
any portion OF the public domain and along
post roads IL merely u permissive statute, and
that there Is NO expression in 1t which Implies
or confers any exemption from the ortlin ary
burdens Of taxation. II the principle contended
for by the company bs aound. every railroad in
the country should be exempt from taxation.
because they have all been declared to be post
roads. and the same reasoning would apply
with equal force to every bridge and naviGable
stream throughout the land. Tho judgment OF
the Court below that the tax be pnid with
interest thereon is therefore affirmed. but that
part Of ths decree which awards an. Injunction
to restrain the company from carrying on Its
business in the State until the tax Is paid is
reversed.

LONDON, March 19.-Mitchell ls once more
proving that he 10 most Objectionable young
man. and quite unworthy Of the magnanimous
consideration shown him on last Saturday
week. Instead OF settling down quietly with
his interesting family, and thanking his stars
for the combination Of agility aud luck which
saved him from being pounded out Of all Ike
ness OF the sprightly Charles Mitchell. he has
recommended the old game OF irritating John
L. Sullivan and causing that big man to drop the
polished manners which have 80 bonorably dis
tinguished him OF late Mitchell honorcd Ltv-
erpool this evening, and further condescended
to spar with Kilrain at the Grand Theatre The
people made 30 much Of the young pedestrian
boxer and so cheerfully paid guinea each for
stalls that Mitchell, after little chamnnRne,
began to think himself a very big man indco,i,
and unburdened himself to that effect in a
speech which he delivered 10 a conyivial gath
ering in the Grand Hotel
He had no wish. he said. to challenge Sulli-
van again, but really the Bostonian's friends
had been indulging In such m amount OF bluff
that II was time to shut them up. Mitchell was
good enough to add that he did not blame Sui
Ivan. who. he dellcRtely insinuated would. II
left to himself. prefer to keen quiet. II. how
ever. Sullivan was prepared to endorse what
people were saying on his behalf. he tMitchell)
would accept challenge to fight again In a
sixteen-foot ring.
Why" added Mitchell. emboldened to dizzy
heights OF fancy by the enthusiastic cheers OF
his friends. we practically fought on Satur-
day week in . twelve-foot ring. and rs for
r11O 0uit In
that line"
There were several persons ut tho festive
board who witnessed the late 6ght. but they
did not deem II advisable or necessary to spoil
the harmony by jogging their horo's memory.
Commander Griffin OF tho United States Navy,
who was not prescott at the famous encounter.
but who graced to-day's triumphal jolity at
the expense Of his countryman. WINS so i'm
pressed by Mitchell assurance OF the hic mans
decadence that he offered to stake f50O within
twenty-four hours on Kilrnin 10 fight Sullivan
within six weeks. Klrain did not pain the
jolly company by iIl-timed modesty. He ac-
cepted Commander Grinln's offer. hoped he
would prove worthy OF it. and wound up the
business pleasantly by remarking that Sullivan
had greatly lowered his tone since Saturday
week. because he knew we'll enough that
Mitchell WAS practically victorious.
Then followed some wild talk about challeng-
ing Sullivan on Mitchsll's behalf for f2.0O0 a
side. but as nobody seemed so ready with
money as Commander Griffin. the company
separated without doing business.
Tonight Sullivan. happily ignorant Of the
carvings on at Liverpool. has been showing
himself to delighted audience in the big Vic

How Thurman is to Be Attacked.
From the NeD York Sun.

COLUMBUS, June 9.-The republicans
have already outlined the attack to be made
on Judge Thurman, and Gov. Foraker in
dorsed it in a talk with the Sun reporter to-
day. He is an exceedingly vigorous talker.
He stood in the governors room at the
capitol at tho time. lie wore a big diamond
in his shirt front, spoke of the honors he
won as a student at Cornell university, and
effervescently told how his kitchen girls
had become so frightened at the prospect of
free trade and reduction in their wages that
they had been to him to confer on the sub
jeCt.
"Why, you won't know what majorities
are until this fall, " he said. 1--WE will carry
this state by 1000 majority. We will
carry New York also. We will so through
Cleveland and Thurman and the democratic
party like a knife through hot butter.
wish | could give better simile of the ease
with which Cleveland and Thurman will
be beaten. Mind you, we all of us regard
Judge Thurman as man of sterling in
tegrity, but he is a free trader; and Cleve-
lands message shows that he is one also.
The democratic platform at st. Louis en-
phasizes the free trade dogma, and Ohioans
won't stand any such nonsense. 1t will be
the easiest thing imaginable to whip the
democratic ticket on that issue alone. We
have several other things scored up against
Judge Thurman. 1t is a matter of common
report, and accepted by many, including
myself, though | was not here to positively
know it, that Judge Thurman and all his
family carried delicacies to the confederate
prisoners while locked up at Camp Chase,
three or four miles from here, during the
war. l never heard that any federal
soldiers got any of the delicacies. He was
copperhead, out and out, and the
republicans in this state won't forget their
sons who are sleeping under the sod. Judge
Thurman did good work in the tally-sheet
fraud cases. but he only did his duty, and
he has not gained republican vote in Ohio
by his course on that occasion. If anything
he has antagonized democrats. The
colorod people of this state will also not
forget his speeches.in 1867, when he stumpad
the safe against giving them the right of
suffrage. The colored people all over the
country will hear of this before the cam
pnign is over. They accuse me of waving
the bloody shirt. l want to say right here
thot the man who waves tho bloody shirt in
this campaign will get bloody nose.
want to add, also, that | have received
hundreds of letters from confederate
soldiers commencing me for the stand
took in relation to returning the confeder-
ate battle flags which the President himself
sanctioned and which he will have to
answer for"

The killing of this little boy by his brother
was accidental. The boy who killed his
brother is of unsound mind, and did not
know what he was doing. Mr. j. r.
Williamson does not claim to be a colonel,
and never was one. He is quiet farmer,
