n LANCASTER DAILY INTELUGENCER TUESDAY MAY b lsstt I Hancastet Jutelligencct. TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 8, 1883, A Question Settled. The United States supreme court has decided the case of Ruggles against the BtetB nf Illinois in favor of the state. Ruggles was a conductor en a train of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail road, who ten years age charged a passenger twenty cents for a six miles ride, when the law of the state limited the fare te be charged te three cents a mile. The conductor was fined by a justice of the peace ten dollars and costs for assaulting the passenger in ejecting him from the train. It has taken just ten years te get a decision from the final tribunal of this case ; which is very dis creditable te the administration of jus tice. Among the reforms most imper atively demanded is the acceleration of the wheels of justice. It is wholly un necessary that they should move se slowly. The longest delay is experienced in the highest court, where there should be the least ; as there the most learned judges and lawyers meet and the truth should be readily eliminated. The trou ble is in the long list of cases en the calendar ; but that is one which may easily be remedied by enlarging the capacity of the court te de its work. The question between the Illinois rail read and the state was simply as te whether the state had the power te limit the charges of the railroad ; and the court has affirmed such power te exist in the state, unless it is restrained by some contract in the charter. It further decides that the presumption is against such a contract, as grants of immunity from legitimate government control are never te be assumed. The state had given this particular company power te fix its rates of charges in its by-laws, but such by-laws must net be repugnant te the law of the state. The right of a state te regulate the charges of a railroad can never again he questioned where the company cannot show an express grant in its charter te charge another sum than that which is allowed under the general law. The idea pntprt.iined bv railroad managers that they have the same control of their business will be upset by this decision. They are went te think that because the farmer can charge what he pleases for his corn, and the state cannot deny him this right, therefore they may charge as they please for their railroad service. They fail te see that the chart ered privileges they enjoy and the pecu liar business of the common carrier which thev fellow, render them amen able te the necessary regulations ei state te protect its people. the,!. The case of Dukes is again before the people en the hearing of the application for his disbarment. The charges pre sented against him net being sufficiently specific, an adjournment has been had te permit of their being formulated. We await their appearance and the evi dence which will be furnished te sustain them with interest. Dukes has been charged with many and heinous offences, but he has only been tried en one and of that has been acquitted. Of course, it te net en this charge that his disbarment is claimed It is probably asked because he a libeler or a seducer, upon either of which allegation it would be justified by their proof. They are offences against the law for the punishment of which the law provides. The law for some un known reason has net been invoked for the punishment of Dukes for libel or se ductien; and the opportunity for the demonstration of the guilt of these of fences, offered by this disbarment pro ceedings, must be as welcome te these who accuse him as te the public gener ally, who desire te see the guilty punish ed and the innocent, acquitted. In order te relieve the government party of the ceustant trouble of Sir. Bradlaugh's appearance at the bar of Parliament, his refusal te lake the oath, his exclusion, reelection and reappear ance, Sir. Gladstone made the greatest effort of his life in behalf of the affirma tion bill, which was intended te give Sir. Bradlaugh an acceptable opportu nity te qualify. But simply because it would answer that purpose it was defeated rather by Bradlaugh's than by Gladstone's opponents by tlie slender majority of 3 in a vote of .rSl . There is nothing in this te indicate a a shock te the authority and power of the government, as the Londen Times says, unless that authority aud power are se easily shocked that they are a fiction. And it is safe u predict that after Bradlaugh has been turned out a few mere times anything that will get rid of him, even by getting him into Parliament, will liud favor with the Heuse of Commens. In the current issue of the Scheel Journal Dr. Higbee's editorial depart ment has the following reference te the selection of county superintendents : In the election or appointment of super intendents no ether issue should be made than that of marked fitness, in scholarship and culture and administrative abdity Ir is te be regretted that often the election or appointment of these officers becomes a party issue, and brings about a sort of candidating campaign, in which the bread interests of the work te be done by the du pcrinteudents is lest from view. People who are disposed te inaugurate " a candidating campaign " for the sue cession te Supt. Shaub may find in the above a hint worth taking. CAr-T. Geriunge, of the new ship yard near Philadelphia, reports the gratifying and significant fact that he has five vessels four steamers and a sailing ship in actual building, all for Americans, who have net asked for and de net need subsidies te operate them. This may net be gratifying te Sir. Sec retary Chandler, whose only dream of a restored American navy and commercial marine is by way of Reach's shipyards, but the rest of the country is generally relieved when Chandler is grieved. The author of the Bosten published life of " Thaddeus Stevens, Commener," has sued his publisher for damages en suing from false representations in the publication of his book. Its utter literary worthlessness ought te be a sufficient defense against any suit brought for the infirmities of manner in which it was published. The Legislature is back te business. New let the rule of "no work no pay" be enforced. . The Chinese en the Sandwich Islands, it is feared, will seen outnumber the na tives. That might be a geed thing for the Sandwich Islands. Tur. Wilkesbarre gin sliugers have been shaken up in the judicial mixer. Out of 800 licenses asked for and considered a fourth were rejected. TnE woman who gees out anu leaves her children locked up te play with the fire has quite superseded the idiot who did net kuewn it was leaded. It hfiintr eiven out that Keim was the best of the applicants for civil service ex aminer there is a universal outcry by enlightened journals for a leek at the whole list. Jerky Dunn, indicted in Chicago for kiliiug Jimmy Elliett, had the satisfaction of exhaustiug the regular panel of jurors yesterday before a dozen of his peers could be found. It is worthy of note and a high credit te the people of Fejsyth, Ga., that en Cen federate Decoration Day there the grave which was heaped highest with dowers was that of the only Union soldier buried in the cemetery. An Easten judge has decided that resi dence in the borough for a year is a ucc essary qualification te vote at the town election. He's wrong. The constitutional qualification of sixty days' rcsidence in the district is for " all " elections. Naval Officer Pollock's term at the Philadelphia custom house has been out ler a month and his successor is net yut appointed. A suspicion dawns upon the mind of the Philadelphia politicians that the candidates are te be put under Keim's patent harrow. Recorder Lane, of Philadelphia, being out and Recorder Smith net yet being in, there are about 2,500 tavcrnkecper.s in that city waiting and wondering te knew hew they are te get their licenses. An approval by the recorder is necessary before it is grauted by the court of quar ter sessions, and if net lifted and paid, befere June 1, a penalty of ten per cent is added. Without a rocerdor they cannot go further. The Washington monument te Wash ington, in Washington, D. C., is no longer a butt for ridicule. The much de- rided stump 13 approaching completion aud the iutcrcsting account of the lei);; drawn out affair, which is reprinted en the fourth page of te day's Intei.ligmx. cek, is calculated te put a step te the jokes which have alas ! tee long and with tee much reason been circulated ever the failure te complete this ponderous aud stately scherae te overtop the pyramids of Egypt and the cathedrals of Eurepe. The New Yerk conespendent of the Philadelphia Ledger is advised that thexe is a disposition en the part of thoughtful minds te attach a much greater impertance te the utterances of ex-Senater Conkling, at the Saturday Night club reception, with seference te our relations with Mexico than te these pertaining te present and past domestic party politics. His as piration " that the people of both coun tries would appreciate the ferce of Gcueial Grant's assertion that the interests of the United States and Mexico should bj made identical, commercially, socially and politically," aud " that the cx-presidentef the United States would be recognized as the leader of a great movement te help the Republic of Slexice develop its resources, and te biiug about the natural commer cial union of the two countries," it is be lieved, has a significance that does net altogether appear en the surface. Grant aud Conkling at the head of a Mexican annexation movement in American pnli tics, would make a stir. FEATURES OF THE STATE PBESS. The Scrauteu Republican trusts that employers and empleyes evorywhere will settle their treubles amicable. The E.isteu Express chants a melancholy lequiem for the departed glory of the cir cus clown. Contests for official position are no longer the lovely affairs they once were te the view of the Harrisburg Independent. The Pittsburgh Pest thinks the tour of the Pennsylvania legislators te Virginia at this tiine was disgraceful. The Pittsburgh Dispatch calls en Eaten te disavow all responsibility for Keim. It has evidently net read Eaten's letter. The Alteena Tribune lets it out that the reason some churchus are net heard of is that they de net blew their own horn. Ou Slay 25th will be fitly celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the connection, as editor aud proprietor, of Gen. W. W.II. Davis with the Doylestewa Democrat. The Reading Neics thinks Judge Living ston has adopted an efficient method for the disposition of all applicants for licen ses. The Philadelphia Chronicle Herald de mands the prompt resignation of the civil service reform commissioners. Carry the news te Keim. The Eiie DTerald thinks that when Cam Cam eeon, Quay and Cooper abdicate their leadership and go out of politics it may be taken for granted that the party which they have managed will go out with them. The Pittsburgh Leader thinks the injury te Queen Victeria's knee is net te be treated lightly, considering that it may involve a chauge of sovereign. " Victeria is quite an old woman, somewhere in the sixties, and a very corpulent woman tee. The knee is a dangerous place for any body te get hurt, but doubly dangerous for heavy persons or for persons who have passed into the period of life when the vital powers are en the decline" swindlers and Frauds.

She sent word te a C'onceid physician, who for aome reason, did n l attend the esse. Friday, when Sir. Tyler came home. Sirs. Bisbee in formed him of her suspicions ;md he ba came alarmed also. He called the little girl te him and nUcmp'ed te take off her stocking!, (i-he were ; shoes), when she cried with pain a .id terror. About half of eua of the child's feet fell oft from the rest, and when the ether feet was disclosed the tee of that feet came off with the stocking. Examination showed that both feet had rettd in part. Mrs. Bisbee dressed the feet as well as possible. According te the statement of Sir.'. Bishee, .13 givftti te the officer afterward, Mrs. Tyler sa'd te her husband : "I never liked the child and never shall, and shan't de anything for it." The feet had been frozen some time previous, and the child's sufiei iug must have been intense Owing te neulect of proper treatment the feet had beccme diseased and retted away. The officer ordered the little one's removal te the Slessachusctta general hospital, where it has since been taken.

It was rumored in Pittsburgh last evening that several ledges of the Amal gamated association had begun a movement for a compromise en the basis of a general reduction of ten per cent, in the wages of the mill workmen for the ensuing year. The manufacturers say that such an eiler would probably be accepted. About forty coal shevellers ompleycd along the North river in New Yerk struck yesterday for an advance of one cent per ten. 1 heir demand was granted upon only cine beat.

A ROMANTIC STORY. flew an Katate Was Squandered. In the surrogate's court of New Yerk Slenday, much excitement was created by the development of a peculiar, interesting and romantic story. The principal actors are young men of high social standing and wealth. The story is as fellows : In 18G9, Wm. Tilden, a relative of Samuel J. Til Til den, died, leaving an estate valued at $2,500,000, He divided it equally between his four sons William, Slilane, C, Slar maduke and Beverle B. Tilden aged 20, 15, 12 and 9 years. Jesiah SI. Fislc, Wm. T. Blodgett, David Dews, Charles Tracey and N. C. Ely weie appointed executers. In 1870 the executers employed an Italian named Biazzi as tutor and manager for the boys, and they were sent te Europe. In Paris they occupied the rooms formerly occupied by the Prince of Wales and ether members of the royal family of England. They then proceeded te Berlin and lived in sumptuous style, expending in sixteen months about $70,000. The eldest of the four, William, purchased a palace in Ce- burg for $40,000 and with it the title of baron. While in his palace he became very much interested in the wife of the former owner and very seen was under complete control of her husband, te whom he gave a power of attorney and permitted him te purchase all the furniture for his palace. In 1872 the executers discovered the condition of affairs abroad, and by the payment of very large sums of money the young man was extricated from his diffi culties. The four then conceived the idea of a ball in honor of Americans in Ger many. They hired an immense hall at great expense, and gave tbe ball, which was widely commented en. When they returned home the executers footed up their expenses for two years and four months at $185,000. They were sent te Harvard college, but did net remain there. William was made an executer of the estate, and in 1877 a part ner in the business formerly carried en by his father. This he was compelled te give up owing te his inability te manage it. Slany accountings were had for which large counsel fees were paid. In 1877 Gustavus G. J. Thebaud was appointed guardian of Beverle B. Tilden. He re ceived $1,250, and afterward, it is alleged, was locked up in Ludlow street Jail for eleven ments for misappropriating $15,000 belonging te another estate for which he was the attorney. Frem the accounting new in progress before a referee it appears that the two eldest sons have been paid $175,000 mere than their share. It is also charged that a mortgage for $160,000 en the Jersey City property, with the interest, was col lected by the executers, and that one of them deposited the money te his private account. The estate is in a bad condition and will yield but $100,000 te each of the youngest sons. The executers are charged with procuring ratifica tions of their acts by threats. Beverle B. Tilden new seeks te have the various accountings opened en the ground that the expenditures were foolish and rash, unnecessary aud contrary te his father's will. He also claims that the executers should be charged with the unnecessary expenditures.

Tobacco Journal. Seed Leaf This is what we said last week : It can reasonably be expected that the next and some of the following weeks will be characterized by an im provement, at least as far as the number of buyers and the number of transactions are concerned." All this came true. The uumbtr of prospective buyers was large, and the sales proved the largest of any week this year. We also said last week : " We advise holders te unload at the low est price pessible, new that an opportunity of, at least, making sales will be offered." This advice saems te have been followed with success. As far as '81 Pennsylvania is concerned, several holders took advant age of the temporary desire of people who wanted te invest, and unleaded in large lets. Te gipje figures is an absolute impos sibility. Part of one of the finest pack ings held here was sold te a city manufac turer. This packing wa3 held last fall at 23 cents, and could net then be bought for any less. The price paid for it new is unknown, all parties te the transaction preserving the strictest secresy.

Tiie crop of '82 has been pretty well picked up by the dealers, several of whom have ceased purchasing, finished packing and closed their warehouses. Others are still in the field buying such lets as they can find, generally at prices se low that neither the buyer nor seller are willing te have them published. Iu many of the best tobacco growing districts of the county it is almost impossible te find a crop remaining in the hands of the farmer. We learn, hewever, that iu the lower end of Slaner township about, ono-feurth of the crop remains unsold, and in a few ether sections nearly the same proportion. Some of this is held by the farmers for a rise, and some of it is se badly damaged as te be undesirable- te purchasers. There continues te be an active demaud for old tobacco, and during the past week several hundred cases have beeu sold by the city and county dealers. Among these was one. let of 1S3 cases of 'SO sold private. SIciles & Frey sold 50 cases of the same crop, Sir. Rine sold 198 cases, Diller & Rutter 100, and thcre wcie a number of smaller sales of rS0 and '81. The young plants are mere backward this year than formerly, though where they have been properly pretected they have a healthy appearance, and will be large enough by the time the farmers are ready te sat them out, which will net be ler seme weeks yet. Meantime the ground is being prepared for them. In a geed many instances where the bnds were exposed, the plants have suffered from the flea.
