THE decisio n of the Supreme Cour
OF the United States adverse to the
income tax law in some ways is as.
tonishing-particularly is this true
where notice is taken OF the personnel
of the justices making it. The law
was declared unconstitutional by five
judges, three Republicans and two
Democrats, both of the latter from
the North. The decision, in point of
fact, was declaration of States rights
in the matter of direct legislation
Opposing the verdict of unconstitu-
tionality were four justices-two Re-
publicans and two Democrats-both
the latter from the South. Their
opinion was adverse to the States
rights doctrine, and in favor of the
power of the nation to directly tax
citizens of the various States.

that when We look particularly charm

they twitch and pull just the way we

The decision of the income tax case
serves to illustrate the tremendous
power Of the Supreme Court. 1t can
undo the work of Congress, and by a
bare majority, as in this instance, make
a law null and void. The authority
that it exercises is superior to that Of
both the Legislature and Exc cutive
branches of the government. There
is no appeal from its decisions, and
no way to modify them; they are
final and absolute, and all other
agencies in our political system are
bound by them.

---'-- --------> = ~-S----------------- SEN WALTHAII,.

The letter of the Hon. J. c. Clarke, president of the Mobile and Ohio railroad, to the ClarionLedger, suggesting the nomination of the Hon. E. c. Walthan for president of the United States, has been well received: The Clarion Ledger says:
 All that he says of Senator Walthall is true. He is a gentleman of the finest ability, a lawyer of distinction, a citizen without reproach and one of the purest and ablest statesmen of the country. His conservatism and patriotism have won for him the confidence and respect of the north as well as the south. His motives are never questioned, as he is always frank, sincere and honest in all his deal ings, whether in private or public af- fairs.
 '"The fact that he was some years ago selected as chairman of the military com mittee of the senate, over some of the ablest senators of the north-solders who had served in the federal army--shows how well he is liked by all sections.
 "The Clarion-Ledger fully indorses all that Colonel Clarke says of Senator Wal thall, and there is no man in the United States it would more cheerfully support for president than this distinguished Mississippian, whose chances for election. notwithstanding the fact that he is from

THE NAVY.

Senator Hale's bill to reorganize the personnel of the navy does not meet with favor from the older naval officers all though it is a popular movement with the younger officers, and represents the views. it is said, of Secretary Herbert. To defeat the measure 1t is said that the older officers have formed an association known as the Naval association" with the avowed purpose of securing the de- feat of the proposed bill, as well as all legislation based on the same line. The circular setting forth the purpose of the new organization, to which the names of officers distinguished in naval circles are attached, has fallen into the hands of the secretary of the navy, and, as may be ex- pected, there is now the deuce to pay. It is said that about 100 officers, including commodores, captains, commanders and ieutenant-commande are involved, and that the secretary is seriously consid- ering the advisability of bringing the officers up with round turn. It remains to be seen whether the secretary will at tempt to discipline the naval officers as Postmaster Wilson does with the lobby of postmasterS.

The "sound money" democratic mem bers of the Kentucky legislature will soon have an opportunity of demonstrate ing to the country whether or not they prefer a republican to democrat in the senate. Senator Blackburn has decided majority of the democratic members and will be the democratic caucus nominee. On joint ballot of the two houses the re- publicans and democrats are a tie. There are three popuhst members, two of whom will vote for Blackburn. If he is not reelected to the senate it will be be- cause there are members of the Ken lucky legislature claiming to be demo- crats, but who are not democrats. The result will be watched with considera- ble degree of interest.

TENACIOUS PARTIsANsHIP.

Postmaster-General Wilson has issued an order to stop lobbying by postmas- ters, mail carriers and other servants of the postal department. He holds that they must keep their mouths shut and not assume to dictate laws, policies and candidates.
 There is much reason in this order, but why does he stop at the interference at Washington? Why doesn't he cast his eye upon the postmasters at Mobile and Montgomery and command them to cease their assaults upon the harmony of the democratic party and to stop their noisy and vicious schemes to manufac- ture candidates and to compel the people to accept their choice? It is his duty to discipline these "pernicious partisans." Dressed in little brief authority, they play such fantastic tricks as make us laugh

PLAY BALL.
Southern Association of Baseball Clubs Will Meet in Birmingham On December 21.
 President Nicklin's Letter.

The Southern Association of Baseball clubs will hold a meeting in one of the parlors of the Morris hotel one week from today for the transaction of import ant business. At this meeting a strong ef- fort will be made to induce the lovers of the national sport in this city to put a Birmingham club in the league next season. MT. Solon Jacobs yesterday re- ceived a letter from President Nickln with reference to the matter. The let ter is as follows
 Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. il, 1885, MT. Solon Jacobs, Birmingham, Ala Dear Sir: The Southern Association of Baseball clubs will meet in the city of Birmingham on the 21st day of Decem- ber Can't you all work up interest in the game and go in this season, 1896? Yours truly, J. B. NICKLIN,
 President.
 MT. Jacobs responded to MT. Nicklin's letter, saying that he would make the matter public by giving it to the news papers, and would also try to attend the meeting, and if possible induce some To- cal people to go in with himself and put a club in the league next year.
 A State Herald reporter asked MT. Trask, president of the Columbian Equipment company, if his company would contribute anything toward secur- ing a club for the next season, the base ball park being located on his line, the Highland Avenue and Belt railroad. He replied that they would give literally if by doing so good and paying team could be put in the league to represent Birmingham.
 Considerable interest has been mani- tested in the game recently on the part of some of the local baseball enthusiasts. and it is altogether probable that the Magic City will have a first-class team in the Southern league in 1896.

 ceiyng Several Painful Wounds. sIa

The horse attached to A. R. Collier & Co.'S delivery wagon, while being drawn along Twentieth street yesterday after noon became unmanageable and ran away. -t,,
 At Second avenue and Twentieth street he ran against H. H. Ramsey, picture canvasser, knocking him against the curbing. s1
 In the fall the back of MT. RamseYs s head was badly cut by striking the sharp edge of the curbstone. and he sustained slight injuries to his hips and other parts of his body. He was picked up and lcar- ried to the office of Dr. Wheelan, over Norton's drug store, where his wounds were attended to. oiti
 While not serious, the gash made in his head was very painful, and the bruised hip also caused Mir Ramsey con- siderable pain.
 The runaway horse was stopped near First avenue, but not until the wagon had been demolished.

A Voluntary Liquidation.

San Francisco. Cal, Dec. 13.-The Grangers' Bank of California, one of the oldest banks in the city, is about to go into voluntary liquidation and has closed it's doors An examination by the bank examiner shows that the bank is not only able to pay all its indebtedness in short time but after the liquidation there will be large surplus for the stockholders to divide. The causes are depreciation in country lands and other real estate and the low prices ruling for farming products. The cashier stated this morn- ing that the doors would probably be opened on Monday morning next, when every dollar of the indebtedness would be paid after which the banks affairs would be wound up.

For their third entertainment Mme Eppinghousen Bailey and company in- cludng Miss Bertha Eppinghousen, a reader of national note, will be by the Birmingham Music club presented at Seals Music hall on Tuesday evening, December IT. This attraction was billed to appear here recently. but failed to make connection at Chattanooga.
 There is nothing better on the road. The Atlanta Constitution says:
 The suspicious opening of the Atlanta Chautauqua assembly in the Grand last night presages a brilliantly successful session this year
 The attendance was very large the au- dience being composed of the best class of people, and the entertainment was even better than was promised by the Chautauqua directors
 The star of the evening was Mime. Ce- eiia Eppinghousen Bailey. Her high rep utation as a lyric artist had preceded her, and the expectations of the audience were raised very high. The gifted singer however, sustained herself admirably, and won the good opinion of everyone: She possesses a voice of exceptional range and adequate power, which has been cultivated to point beyond which it were impossible to go. Her vocaliza- tion is artistic in the highest degree and her taste Is irreproachable. She is en- dowed with the artist temperament and feels intensely all she sings.
 This Is the secret of the amazing power she exerts over her audience. Her versa tilty was disclosed in the wide range of her work. She was equally as effi- cient in the naive lullaby, the dramatic Der Asra," by Rubinstein, the roman- tic song by Nevin and the Jewel Song from Gounod's"Faust." The last named selection she acted as well as sang, and the stage accessories enhanced the merit of the performance. The "Inf1ammatus" showed clearly with what wonderful power she is endowed as an oratorio singer.
 Mme Bailey made distinctly favora- ble impression upon the audience, and when she sings again she will be certain to draw a large crowd
