We are exceedingly glad to find
that our city fathers at the last
meeting Of the city council, had
walked up to the Importance Of some
other things besides passing bills
against the corporation aud draw
Ing their salaries. Mr. Claus Spreck-

Chicago, is to have the advantages
Of the city Of Annapolis explained
to him, by the clerk of the board,
as the proper place to establish the
eastern branch Of his business,
which he contemplates doing if 4
proper location can be found. The
Local improvement Association has
already opened q correspondence
with Mr.. Spreckles; but, all the
same. the clerks letter can do no
harm and may do good.

determined to bestir themselves in
the matter Of the erection Of . Fed

appointed committee to draft reso-
l0tions to back up our representa-

1'AE lobby took advantage Of the
slim attendance Of members last
night in the House, to pass the
election bill with all its Imperfect
tions. They thus have violated
their pledges to the people before
the election. The bill as passed is
simply travesty upon fair elections
in this State. We had hoped for
something better. If the demo-

fairly hold its supremacy in the
State. let it go into retirement, and
we will go with it. We are sick of

said:
Yes, we are going to cast our first votes,

has given the American people quiet and
conservative administration that should
win for him the respect of every thinking

Against tlse Railroad.

News has been received here that the
case OF the Atlantic d Pacific railroad
company against J. I. Lesuenr, treasurer
of Apache county, Arizona, involving the
question OF taxation of the right Of way
and franchise of the company, which has
been pending before the Arizona supreme
court for some time, has been decided
adversely to the company, the opinion,
which is lengthy, having been handed
down by the court on the 10Th inst. The
court holds that the acts OF the Territorial
legislature, when not rejected by an act
Of Congress, baw. the same force and
effect as Congressional enactment, and
consequently take the place Of any Con.
gressional legislation on the same subject
and are to be regarded as the law Of the
supreme court of the territory.
ii. is understood that Judge Hazeldine,
solicitor and attorney for the railroad
company, will fight the decision TO the
bitter end, and will carry the case to the
Supreme Court Of the United States.
