The New York Tribune prints special
dispatch from Iowa which sets forth IAN
important discovery" made by an Iowa
judge of decision of the United States
supreme court Brown VS.. Houston, ia u,
s.. p. 622, which held that when the prop
erty brought into the state had reached its
destination it was a commodity subject to
the provisions OF the state laws. The Hart
ford Times Immediately declares that the
court held views wholly opposite to those
OF the recent decision" This is an erroneou S
view that many are likely to take who have
not, like the Iowa judge, carefully compared
the two cases. The case decided several
years ago arose out of taxation by a state
officer of a cargo of coal brought into
Louisiana by ship. But before the coal
was taxed a part of it had been
sold, SO that. as will be seen, it was no
longer an Original package" In the Iowa
case the court distinctly and explicitly
stated that its decision applied only to cases
where the liquor still remained untouched
in the unbroken packages in which it had
been brought into the state. Moreover, it
is wrong to state that the court appears to
have overlooked its decision in the Louisiana
case. 1t was brought to the attention of
the court during the argument of counsel,
and considered, and the two cases contrasted
by Chief Justice Fuller in his opinion.

southerners Nav Build 1t.

The north pretends to have great regard
for her war heroes. The regard she has
appears to be OF cheap kind. She wants
ali the union veterans pensioned and mon
uments erected to all the great union gem
erals, but she wants thu money for these
things to come out of the national treasury.
She doesn't propose to put her hand into
her pocket for dollar.
The Herald prints an interesting story of
an occurrence at the Westmoreland Club,
Richmond, on the night before the unveilin &
of Lees statue. At the club were many ex-
confederate officers of high rank Said one
of them: II see that Representative Flower
has introduced a resolution into the House
to appropriate $3.50, 900 towards the moau-
ment which New York promised to erect to
Gen. Grant. The resolution ought not to
pass New York ought to have prids
enough to keep her promise am pros
porous, and il New York has not raised the
money for the monument by Sept. pro-
pose to start subscription to raise the
amount for the monument, and head it
with $4,000. / will confine the subscrib-
ers to southern men. think the south
would subscribe the necessary amount. !"
Others present at once pledged themselves
for various sums until $50 900 was promised
1t would be rather remarkable. if the south
should furnish for Grants monument the
money which rich New York and the
wealthy north refuse to give. 1t is strange
that Col. Elliot Shepard does not devote his
time to getting money for Grants monu-
ment instead of assailing the south. His
loyalty and patriotism, however, are not of
the kind which make sacrifices

The seating of McDuffie in place of Mr..
Turpin. who was robbed of his seat in the
House to which he was fairly elected from
the Fourth Alabama congressional district,
gives the republicans a majority of 20-the
roll showing TIA republicans and 154 demo-
Gratis This will be increased by the IN
seating of Mr.. Elliott of South Caro-
lima. At the organization of this
congress the republican majority was only
eight, and even now when it is almost
tripled the leaders are not sure of safe
majority, as there is continual revolt in
their ranks. and more outrages like the one
in the case Of Mr.. Turpin may be expected.
Mr.. Turpin was ousted on the
most flimsy evidence. In many
of the precincts in his dis
trict colored men got up polls of their
own. As these polls were very irregularly
and Illegally conducted, without regard to
qualification of those who were permitted
to vote at them, the democratic election
officers, who were in majority at each
poll, did not pay any attention to their
votes, and none Of them were, in fact,
beard of until the election of a republican.
Congress made it worth while to pro-
duce the irregular returns to make up a
contest.

War Talk in Newfoundland.

A dispatch in the MORNING NEWS yester-
day stated that the people of Newfoundland
are in a very warlike frame of mind. They
and their newspapers are doing all they can
to cause rupture between England and
France. OF course they will not succeed,
and it is probable that their home govern
ment is not paying great deal of attention
to them.
The trouble, in seems, grew cut of the
action of the officers of French warship in
st. Georges bay. A couple of weeks ago
the fishing grounds of the bay were pretty
well covered with the nets of British fisher
men. The officers of the French war vessel
ordered many of the nets to be removed in
order to make room for French fishermen.
The order was complied with, though
not with very good grace. An English war
vessel was in the bay at the time, but did
not offer to interfere to prevent the order
from being enforced. The Newfoundland
people pretend to be indignant with the
officers of the English vessel because they
did not interfere. and they denounce the
action of the French vessel as an outrage.
But was any outrage committeda The
commander of the French vessel says there
was not. According to his story the French
fishermen have the first privilege of taking
fish on what is called the French shore.
This privilege they have by treaty, and
have enjoyed it for over 200 years
When the British fishermen get
/ on the fishing grounds first
they are ordered to remove their nets if
theyfin the least interfere with the French
| fishermen. There is, as a rule, French
| and an English war vessel on the fishing
grounds during the fishing season, to pre-
vent trouble between the fishermen of the
| two nationalities.
This year the British fishermen interfered
with the privilege of thu French fishermen,
| and the French war vessel enforced the
rights of the French fishermen. This
| is the sum aud substance of the whole
matter. The British fishermen want to
| force their home government, by treaty, o
| otherwise, to take from the French fish err
men the privilege they have 50 long en-
| joyed. The Newfoundland psople will have
to find better cause for war before they
will succeed in getting Englishmen and
Frenchmen to shoot at each other.
