stated. the Bland act was repealed by the

THE GCLD-BRICK CASE.

It may be the law that the United
States has a superior claim 20 the trial
of a person charged with an offence
against both State and United States.
But &c is plainly a matter I'm which the
United States Courts have discretion
whether they will or Will not claim their
superior right. The United States Court
ought not now TO interfere with the course
of justice i'm the State court in the case
of the gold-brick man. 1t stood by and
saw his trial commenced there. and it
should continue TO stand boy until that
trial is completed. II he is taken from
the State court. 10 means no more than
nominal punishment for him. If ne is
guilty, he has committed most heinous
crime. and he should receive the punish
ment which viii be given him I'm the
State court.
This is a case which all men would do
well to leave TO the due course Of the law.

passage of the Gorman- Wilson bill, which
was so base betrayal of the ZEN ocratic
pledge that the President refused to
make himself a party to it. Yet the
session has not proved absolutely fruit
less. 1t has convinced the country o.
the absolute incompetency of the Demo
cratic party to manage the affairs of the
government, of its entire lack of a def
mite policy, and of the truth of the
charge that it is nothing but a conglom-
Grafton of discordant elements which
hold together sufficiently for the pur-

The temperance conmitte, of the iegis-
lature has prepared bill, an outline
of which is published in another column,
for strengthening the prohibitory law.
The bill follows quite closely the sug-
gestions made by Gen. Neal Dow, though
there il some cutting Of the penalties
that he proposed. Hereafter if this bill
becomes law fine and Imprisonment
cannot be construed fine or imprison-
ment, but both penalties must be i'm
posed. The penalty for illegal trsnspcr-
tatiop, though not so great as that
which the Supreme Court pronounced
unconstitutional because not proportional
t., the offense, is greater still than tha'
f,r rumselling, and would seem still to
he open to the Supreme COURTS ohjec-
tion. Apparently the law attempts to
make the fact that man has taken out
a United States license conclusive evil
dence that he is common seller of in
toxicating liquors. The existing statute
makes it prima facie fevidence but this
one practically says 1t is conclusive, thus
apparently taking from the jury the de-
termination of a question of fact. We
should judge from the outline of the bill
that there were quite a number of pro-
visions in it of doubtful constitution
njity, which would need some modifica-
lion to make them safe

In the General Court of the Massac hu-

proposal was before that body concern
ing taxation" This bill created much
excitement. A pamphlet entitled The
Monster of Monsters was printed, which
severely censured them for promoting
the new features OF the excise bill. On
the oath of October they took up the
pamphlet and passed resolve that it
"is false, scandalous libel" rejecting
upon the proceeding of this house in
general, and ordered that .the said
pamphlet be burnt by the hands of the
common hangman below tho court house
in King street, and that the messenger
Of the House see the same carried into
execution. They arraigned Daniel Fowle
for printing and publishing, and Joseph
Russell, his apprentice, Zachariah Fowle

the affair." This brought out 1.-The Cub
