Black made an argument be fore the house judiciary committee to- Gay against the bill to prevent bigamy in the territories, introduced in tho house bv Mr. AVillels. Judge Black argued that the bill, or any such bill, is unconstitutional. He said the Ed munds bill, which created the commis sion, was unconstitutional and he did not believe Mr. Edmunds ever wrote it. He was too good a constitutional law yer. Judge Black aiso said he believed the territories have the right to make whatever laws they please concerning the marrying of wives. Tiio above strikes us as a very strange opinion, to say the least by such a great constitr.tionol lawyer a3 Judge Black* The judge not only oc cupies a very front position among the great jurists of the country, but is a decided christian, and lira always b en on the moral side of great public ques tions. Kow if his opinion is right—if there is no power in and under the con stitution of the United Statse to pun ish poligamy—yea to wipe out entirely the moral cancer that disgraces us as a nation in the eyes of the whole civiliz ed world, then the constitution utterly fails so secure the ends for which it was established by "the people of the United States," and the sooner the people know this the better for the country and the permanency of our in stitutions. There is one higher human power than even the constitution, sacredly as the Americans respect their great Mag na C'narta.and that power is the people. The constitution did not make either j the country or the people, but the peo-1 pie make all laws—even fundamental laws—togyveru themselves,and they can ! unmake or radically change when they j discover that they fail of their object. ! This principle is entirely in harmony wiili the Declaration of Independence, and there is no doubt that the people will change their constitution on the j point m question as soon as our court > of highest resort hasdecided that .ludge Black lias guessed rig!illy in the prem ises. But we are not at all sure that our great lawyer is right on the matter. The very preamble to the constitution —if that is a part of the venerated in- ; strument—seems to forbid any such ( ! conclusion. The constitution was 'or- ; • duittc-d and established by the peopl - ' j for delinite and specific purposes, audi these arc "to form a more perfect, un- : ion, establish justice, insure .tcs u ; {ranqulilt, providt for the common do : ! fonse, promote tlie general wcbarc, and i 1 secure the Uk songs of liberty lo our ; selves and our posterity. 1 ' Let there be more light cn the im- j ! porianl subject. J ■ .-O-O Tho Grander Tax Bill. A bill will be presented to the h-gisla -1 tore to-day tumlamentally changing the | system of taxation for st -it*', cou'.By, I townships, city, borough and school j purposes. Tiie bill emanates from the j State Grange of the Patrons of lle.s bandry,having been prepared by a com mittee of that liodv. The princip. 1 objects of this measure are to gather into a single fund all the taxes lev it I within the state ; to secure the assessment of all property, real and personal, at its actual cash value and at a uniform rite : to simplify and cheapen the collection of faxes by hav i ing but one collector in cacti collection ! district ; and to reduce tiie tax rate by assessing property which now escapes ; taxation. The provision of the bill which ie labs to the taxing of bonds,mortgages, ndes,bills and other evidences of debt, iis ingeniously drawn and would no doubt piove very effective. It requires every taxable person, natural ur arti ficial,to furnish the assessors a written | statement of all such property held by him. her or it, and whenever any hold er of any evidence of debt nhall with ; hold it from the know led pi 1 of the as sessor it shall bo uncollect able by any suit of process whatever, and interest shall cease thereon, while so withheld. This would most likely have the effect lof discovering all "invisible" property of that description. Another section of the bill provides that, the ass. sscrs shall deduct from the valuation of real estate the amount of any dower, mortgage, judgment, or charge upon tne premiss, and that the owner of the pic mists shall pay the tax upon such dowtr. mortgage, etc., and shall be entitled to the sum paid by him as set oft against the interest or principal of such evidence of debt. This is a very adroitly contrived device In <■>.•rn'v-1 in in.iv' f i ?>>v '.i.i a.' ! i.A a"?"... ■ : The calculation of the authors of the bill is that a live ra ill tax levied and collected under its provisions v.ill raise $50,00.),00 ' P'-w annum, a sum believed to bo suilici mt to meet all the annual expenses of the state and local govern ments, including payment of the inter est and principal of funded debts. Tne measure is one which if enacted into law would revolutionize the present sys tem of taxation. Tiia principle cn which it is based is certainly correct. Any plan for raising lu-ccss.iry reven - ue which equalizes taxat ion is an im provement upon tho present unequal i and confused system. While tho bill in question doubtless needs revision and amendment, it is ono widely de | serves car eful and patient considera tion from the legislature. It may not I be just what the people want, but it is | certainly a measure which will com- \ . maud the attention of thoughtful men 1 I throughout the state.— Patriot. - Sews Mlseellaiiv. I JUST AN AVSRAG3 SAMPLE. The occupant of an odico on Grand; River avenue sat at his desk when a mild-faced stranger entered, passed tho the time of day, and asked : "Would you let me sit at your desk a moment and use your pen V" "Certainly." "Can I use a sheet of your paper ?" contiuued the man,as lie seated himself. "Oh yes." "Thanks. You may hang up my hat if yoa will. I can never sit at any leugh of time with my hat on." His liat was given a place on the ; rack, and ten minutes ho was busy writing. As lie finished he asked for on enveleopo, and when he sealed it he said : "Pardon the liberty, but can you spare me a stamp V" lie was given one, and after he had licked it on he we ig I led the letter in his hand and remarked : "I'm airraid that's too heavy for three cent. Perhaps you'd better put on an other." A second stara p was handed liirn and he then observed : "I'll leave the letter for you to mail as you go down." "Very well." "And as ii i 3 an important missive, allow me to suggest that if you should go to the- Postoilice oa pi.ipoae to mail it, I would take it as a great favor. Thanks for your kindness. Please reach my hat, and as I suffer a great deal from the sun, I will birrow your umbrella until I pass this way again !"
