SENATOR COATES revenue bill
passed the Senate, but with such
amendments as TO render it practI-
calIY imperative. The bill provid-
ed that privilege tax be paid by
all railroads in the State operated
for profit. Tt was amended 50 as to
release roads paying ad valorem
tax. Lawyers claim that the bill
in its present form is unconstitu-
tionaI, and will not stand. Mr..
Coates idea in framing the bill
was to compel the Mobile and
Ohio railroad to pay privilege tax,
because 1t has been released from
paying ad valorem tax.

concurrence of nine jurors q suffi-
cient number to render a verdict.
The BULLETIN believes that the
pub lie welfare requires the enact
ment of such a measure into law,
and hopes that the reformers viii
succeed in accomplishing their OBJ
ject. The New York Herald has
the following editorial on the SUBJ
ject which we fully endorse:
What is known as the principle
of unanimity-that is. the necessity
of a unanimous vote in reaching
verdict-is one of the most strik-
ing anomalies In the whole range
of law. 1t is found nowhere else
than III the Jury box. In every
body-legislative, judicial, political
or sOcial-where questions are de-
cided by vote, majority deter
mines the decision. except in special
cases where a two-thirds vote is pre-
scribed. Laws affecting life. lib
erty aud property are made and un-
made by a majority vote in the
courts. On the same principle the
government is conducted, popular
assem- blies controlled and business
affairs managed by corporations.
There is no reason or excuse for q
different rule in the jury box. 1t
is said that the life of a prisoner
should not hang OIL the vote of
eleven out of twelve men. But In
the appellate court questions of life
and death are settled by the con-
currence of four out of seven, three
out Of five, or even two out of three
Judges. 10 this no objection is
raised, and of 1t nothing is thought.
The requirement of unanImity in
the jury system is as mischievous as
1t is anomalous. In criminal cases
it is one of the most prolific sources
of the laws delay, and one of MIS-
carriages of justice. 1t gives to
one man a veto power over eleven.
1t renders it possible for justice to
be baked and the law detied by the
stupidity, obstinacy or dishonesty
of a single juryman.

If Governor Buchanan expects
to be renominated, 1t is altogether
necessary that he Inform the people
how he stands in regai d TO the sub
treasury. The truth of the bust
ness is Mr.. Buchanan is in preca-
rious condition-in other words, he
is on the fence. He knows that if
he refuses to uphold the pet scheme
OF the Alliance, he will forever be
hated and despised by those high
IN the order, and perhaps expelled
as traitor and cast off with poor
McAlIister, of Mississippi. On the
other hand, If he sanctions and sup
ports these heresies, common sense
tells him that he can no longer look
to democrats for assistance. He is
playing a double game now, but
that can't last always.

GENUINE FARMERS.

The anti-su btreasury convention,
composed of hundreds of farmers
from Arkansas, Alabama. Missis-
sippi, Missouri, Iowa, Tennessee,
Louislsna and Texas, met this
week at st. Louis, Mo. The object
was to combat the subtreasury and
land loan schemes and to preserve
the Alliance on its original prin-
ciples. The meeting was held In
acc ordance with a circular letter
issued August 18th by Hon. y. S.
Hall, then president of the Missouri
Alliance, and published In the Bull
LETIN. The proceedings were open
to the world. Among the notices
that adorned the walls of the taste
fully decorated hall were the fol-,
lowing:
equal rights to all and special
privileges W tlOlO.
"The farmer the country's hope
and pride.'
"The Farmers Alliance to be
controlled by farmers
"Our country's interest our in
terest."
Jet us strive TO be more of pa
triots, less of parlisans."
Editorially, the st. Louis Repub-
lie has the following to say about
the meeting:
We do not understand that it is
the intention of the delegates to the
st. Louis convention to attempt to
divide the Alliance, or that they
contemplate leaving it. On the con-
trary, as we understand it, they in
tended to remain in it and are here
to take measures to prevent it from
being divided. They are here to
support its constitution, which is
founded on equal right to all and
special privileges to none. " They
believe that the Alliance is
nOn>partisan, organization the con-
stitution of which guarantees to its
mem bers, whether Democrats or
Republicans, freedom to hold to
their own political convictions and
to act In politics under these convic-
tions and not under the compulsion
of political resolutions engineered
by hook or crook through Alliance
meetings in defiance of the spirit in
which the Alliance was founded.
We will give an extended notice
of the proceedings in next weeks

The prospe cts for the farmers
and merchants Of the United States
are very encouraging. The wheat
crop, which is fifty or seventy>tve
million bushels III excess of any
preceding year, is owing to the
failure of European crops com.
manding good prices. The cotton
crop will not be SIS large as it was
last year, but the price of the staple
has advanced, and it now seems
will net more to producer than last
years crop. The want Of conf
dence, which has been a barrier to
prosperity, is to great extent a
thing of the past. Confidence be-
tween man and man is being rapid
ly restored. In commercial circles
money is circulating more freely
than it has been for the past fiji
teen months. Factories are kept
busy. Wholesale merchants are
enjoying a splendid trade, and retail
merchants are seplenishing their
stocks. The people of the United
States have much to be thankful

spect commanded by them, we have
only one method to adopt, one
course to persue-we must stand
