THE RECENT decision of the U. 5. 81

THE RECENT decision of the U. >. gu
preme Court in the Chinese case is to the
effect that even the United States cannot
pass ex post facto Jaws when rights anu ln'
terests connected with property capable Oh
sale and transfer are involved, and that lne'
laws of a State, go far as they are repugnan'
to the Constitution, are absolutely VOID. me
recent decision of the interstate commerce
commission is to the effect that railroad
COMPANY must run a sleeping car for the
accommodation of one negro passenger, OF
else allow him to occupy either OF the
berths in sleeping car of which the other
is occupied by young white lady. Inc
Richmond Dispatch doesn't agree with lnis
interpretation of either one of the decisions
refe rred to, but it has been very hard Tor
the Dispatch to take correct view OF any
thing ever since, in an evil hour, 1t Hoped
on the Virginia debt question.

THE NEW liquor law of Minnesota went
into operation yesterday. In one respect,
at least, it is wise, and shows that the men
who passed it are possessed of common
sense. 1t makes all intoxicated persons,
who appear in public, liable to immediate
arrest and punishment. 1t is the abuse, not
tho use OF liquor that is an otlense, and the
man guilty of that ofleuse should be pun
ished, not the man who sells it for the ac-
commodation of those who use 1t properly.
DIR. johnson was one OF the best mayors this
city ever had, and he acted in accordance
with the law referred to.

AN INDIANA maa has presented President
Harrison with one Of Gen. Washington's let
ters. which. he says, she found in Virginia
in 1868 when his regiment was foraging
through that State" In other words, he
stole the letter AS receivers OF stolen goods
are in law and morals accomplices in the
theft, MIR. Harrison, for the sake OF his own
reputation, should force the man who gave
him the letter to tell from whom ne stole it,
and then return it to the owner or his heirs
Mr.. Sherman says anything in law and NOR
ais is us.iliable that will break down the
democratic party" but retaining possession
of stolen letter would not be at all con-
duciye TO that end.

Fire IN "a Steamer.

LONDON, May 1S.-The Spanish steamer
Emiliano, from New Orleans April rs. via
Newport News, for Liverpool, has arrived
at Queenstown with the cotton in her fore
and main holds burning. The fire has been
burning for two days. The flames spread
rapidly and it was found necessary to jetti-
son 140 bales of the burning cotton.
Three seamen were overcome and rendered
senseless by the smoke and heat. The deck
of the steamer has started in several places.
Large quantities of water and steam are be.
ing poured on the cargo in an endeavor to
quench the fire. 1t is probable, however,
that it will be necessary to discharge the
cargo.

Mr.. Leadbeater said it was very disa'
ereesble duty to object to concurrence.
He was clad the monument was 10 be erect

citizens ought to bear the expense.
Mr.. Burke was sorry because he could not

"If Cleveland should be renominated in
