The jury in the long contested Col
umbus, Ohio, tally sheet case, to wbich
we referred last week, came into court
on Friday lat and announced that
they had failed to agree, adding there
to that there was positively no chance
of an agreement being reached. The
Judge thereupon discharged them. This
and numberless cases of a similar char
acter show that it is almost impossible
in this country to convict of a criminal
charge politicians of "icilooence" or a
man of wealth. The times arj out of
joint.
"Jake" SiiAitr, wuosa conviction on

said on Tuesday lust : "I intend to
move the trial of Jacob SUarp ia the

next. His counsel have been notified
and have in turn notified me that they
will move for a chiuge of venue."
Jacob is afraid to trust his fate to a

If he was an honest man he couid stand

In a case ttforcj Hi Supremo Court
of the United States last week growiLg
out of the Iowa prohibitory liquor law
which forbids any transportation com
pany from carrying liquor into that
State unless it shall have been furnished
with a certificate of the auditor of the
county to which such liquor in to ba
transported shewing that the consignee
is legally authorized to sell it, the court
in declaring the statute unconstitu
tional, said : "The power to regulate
or forbid the sale of a commodity after
it has een brought into the State, does
not carry with it the right and power to
prevent its introduction by transporta
tion from another State." In regard
to this decision the Philadelphia Times
remarks :
The power of a State to pass laws
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquors within its bor
ders bas been upheld by a recent de
cision of the Supreme Court of the
United States. But the same court on
Monday made another decision that
knocks a large bole in the wall that
prohibition s;ates like Iowa and Kansas
are trying to rear against the liquor
trntH?. The Iowa statute prohibits a
railroad company from carry liquor into
that State unless furnished with a cer
tificate from the Auditor of the county
to which the consignment isceatined.
declaring that the cousignee baa a right
to sell it. The Chicago and North
western Kail way refused to accept a
shipment of 5,W.0 barrels of beer unless
accompanied by the certificate required
by law, pleadiug tho statute as justifi
cation for the refusal. The case was
carritd to the Supreme Court, which
decides the law unconstitutional, as in
terfering with the freedom of commerce
between the States, and hoMs the com
pany liable for its refusal to carry the
beer. The decision is to the effect that
a State has no power to prohibit the
importation from another State of any
article of commerce. Under this ruling
a State may deprive its citizens of home
made stimulants, but cannot prevent
their getting drunk on liquor manufac
tured in another State, if they wish to.
Gen. Georoe W. Cass, who was so
well-known in Weatern Pennsylvania,
and especially in Pittsburg died laet
week in New York City. He was born
in Ohio in 1810 and was a nephew of
Lewis Cass, who was the Democratic
candidate for President in 1S4S against
Gen. Zachary Taylor. He was educated
in Detroit where bis uncle resided and
entering the United States Military
Academy at Wes; Point be graduated
with distinguished honor in 1S.'J2. After
a tew years be resigned from the army
and subsequently filled several civil
positions of l.or.or and responsibility,
making Pittsburg bis borne. Iu l-?j
he was a very prominent candidate fcr
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor of this State and was only defeat
ed at the State Convention by Asa
Packer by a few votes, one of which
was cast by a delegate from an adj.-iu-ing
county to Cambria against tho m ist
explicit instructions iu favor of Gen.
Casa. He was a man of wealth and for
many years has lived quietly in New
York respected and honored by all who
enjoyed bis acquaintance.
Tortinxo the appointment of a
successor to the late Chief Justice
Waite, the Washington City Coital
says :
President Cleveland will not be in a
hurry to fill the vacancy on the Supreme
Bench. Tlie present term of the Court
has but a few weeks lenaer to continue,
but it could not be expected that the
President would make an appointment at
Jonce. It is not hkely tlut the new Chief
ustice will be appointed tefore mid
summer ; but it ia quite certain that
some appointment will be made trfore
Corgress adjourns, as the S-uate Judi
diary Committee formally notified the
1'ienident in t!ie Lacombe case mat lis
members entertained doubts iu ir.ard
to the power of ihe President to nuke
appointments during a recsi of the
Senate. It is also proper to Bay that
nearly all of the gentlemen whose names
ere mentioned in the papers yesterday
are for one cause or another ineligible.
Thurtnan, Bayard, Phelps, Geoerai
Palmer, and several others, are out of
the question on account of their aize.
It is also safe to say that the President
will not seek to accomplish any po!iU
cal result in filling this position, ut
that he will select the ablest and most
satisfactory mu whom be can find tor it.

power, as the Governor of this and some

Au luterefttliii; Debate.
In the Senate or tne United States on
Tuesday of last week, the bill introduc
ced by Mr. Blair, the New IImpshire
"Crank." giving preference for c'vil
service app-intm"ut (among men who
had been disloyal during the war) to
tboee who had served in the Confederate
army, and who were sufferirg from
wounds or disabilities, came up on
secor.d reading. Several Southern Sen
ators, among them Wade Hampton, of
South Carolina. Mr. George, of Mississ
ippi, and Mr. Daniel, the new S-nator
from Virginia, who succeeds Matione,
spoke in opposition to the bill, for the
reason that th S.u-h hadn't akej
for it and didn't waut it. Gen.
Hawley, liepublican, of Connecti
cut, also made a few patriotic remarks
compliment ine Mr. Dtniel for his man
ly and concilatory epeeeh Below will
be found what Mr. Daniel and Gen.
Hawley stid :
Mr. Dtnlel siii tht It the question ws
one of courtesy or of discourtMv to the Seo
ator who bad introduced the bill there
would be no doubt in his tuind as to how he
should vote. He felt lncpable of c O'er leg
disronrteav to any Senator, and .ertaioly tie
should eo vei y far to avoid doing so toward
one who had been Inspired by such a mag
nanimous and generous sentiment as that
which the Senator from New Hampshire
had exhibited. ltut no puolie qneetlon
could ever be be'ltiled bv a question of
courtesy. The question before the Jsenate
was the propriety of the consideration of the
bill. If it hd Lone to a committee In due
course, without vote or comment, no one
would have felt that there was anything
improper in It : hut since a question bad
been made upon it. at qustin had to be
met; and he trusted tliat no ex-Confederate
oi the Senate would dode that queHtion.
although. 1ouMlev his emotion might In
cline him to do so If he (Daniel) could
with propriety decline to vote on the ques
tion he would do so. becau.se. in his judg
ment. It did n"t become a Confederate
soldier to ask the United States Government
for any peculiar ripht or privilege. The
Confederate soldier had boldly laid down
the gauntlet of war. and when he came out
of the war he had contempt for but two
classes of men engaged In It first, thosa
who made apologies ; and second, those who
demanded them. Cne-tions of great
International strife and great social
conflicts never decended to personalities, but
were KOern?d by the great philosophies of
rninon existence. He had no doubt that
the Senator from Newhampshire had Intro
duced the bill In a spirit of benevolence,
kindness and generosity : but It had not
been called for by any Confederjte. nor bad
it grown nut of the demands of public sen
tiraent. The wle legislation of the world
was generally that which had public opinion
behind it. There had been no public dis
cussion of th's subject. There had been no
wide debate about it either North or South.
The Senator from New Hampshire had
stated that l.e originated the bill, and he
(Daniel) ventured to believe that Its origin
was entirely confined to the lucubrations
of the Senator's own mind. While be had
great respect for that Senator, he couid not
feel that in this instance he (Blair) bad
acted wisely or in consonance with the pub
lie spirt of the country. All that .h Con
federate soldier asked from the United
States was that he should stand equal be for a
its laws and et'cuul have a fair oppoitun
ity to work out his own salvation. He
would venture to sav tha there was not a
town or hamlet from the Potomac to the Ilio
(rande nht-re a Confederate soldlr-r was to
t been in rags or tatters or begging his
bread in its streets. There was not a palace
or hut wlirre the Confederate soldier was
not always a welcome and honored guest.
There was no danger of any honorable aud
true man. however humble be might be. or
however small his fnitune. dying on the
road.-ide because no gt o I Samaritan would
come by to lend him a helping hand. All
thai tlie ex Confederates aaked was not
special privileces. but to be respected In
their rights of American citizenship, whicn
they Lad assumed knowingly and intention
ally, and which they intended to abide bv
I ftiod helping them) in such a manner that
; no man could justly lift agiinst them tlm
linger or scorn or apply to them au insultiu?
epithet.
Mr. Hawley expressed himself as person
ally grateful to the S-natoi from Virginia
(Daniel) for his n.anly and ctate,m&n:ike
speech. There had been nothing so disa
gieeable in coaa-ction with the bid as its
introduction by the Senator fro?n New
Hampshire, and if bill bad been referred
to a committee without notice he should
not have cared about the question leing
raised, preferring to wait for the report of
the committee. Uut the point l ad been
rr.ade, a?;d t'.ere wss no proprsition in the
bill wl.ic'i could nut b? just as well under
stood and ated on now as if there were a
long report from a eo-nmittee upon It He
thought that the bill was. fundamentally, a
mistake. JI not only disclaimed any feel
ing uf hatred toward those who had been
I Conrederates but tit would not do anything
i a oar tneir projr-ss or to di-quahfy or dis
honor them. Ihe generous and manly
Confederate so'dier knw as well as any of
them that the issntt nad bet-n joined before
the greatest tribunal of the world, on a
question involving the verv foundations of
ltepublican government ; thai it had been
fought out as great armies of brave men
alone could figlifthat somebody won;
that some fundamental theory of Constitu
tion won, ami the result had proved that it
J was a causeless, unconstitutional and wick
I ed war. That had been recorded bv the
surrender at Appomattox, lint should be.
therefore, act u rgereronsly toward anv
person on th ether sids? God forbid.
Sr.ouid ho try to Wir his prozress? Not at
all. Should lie object to meeting him In the
Senate chsmber as his peer ? Ity no means.
I);d he object to Ihe fellow-citizens of a
Confederate soldier loving him because of
his gaiiautry? No. I) d any msn think
less of the State of south Carolina for send
ing to the Senate two of her gallant Con
federate lirDerals? Not at all. On the
contrary, ha should be ashamed of Sou'-h
Carolina if she did not remember such men
in the day? of her restoration. At the same
time he would not, by his vote, or without
a vigorous protest, permit to be p'aeed on
the statue-nook anything which would In
any degree reward a man for fighting on the
Confederate side In the war. He was
obliged to the Senator from Virginia (Dan
ltl) he honored Lim for remembering with
gratitude and love the men who fought on
his oide. and he thanked him for not asking
Senators from the North to do that which
In his (Hawtey's) judgment. If they did,
they would be making fools of themselves.

The Dead Chief Justice.
AUhougd appointed to the Supreme
B-nch from Ohio, Morrison Itemick
Waite was of Connecticut birth, having
been born at Lvun, Conn., November
29. IS1G. He came of a legal family,
so to speak, for most of bis relatives
were lawyers and his father Chief Just
ice of the State. He was a member of
the famous '37 class of Yale College,
which numbers in it William M. Evarts
and many other men now famous.
Leaving Vale, be studied law in the
offite of his father, who was at the time
a Judge of the Supreme Court of the
State, and subsequently Chief Justice.
He removed to Maumee City, Ohio, in
li-39, and practiced bis profession there
until ISoO. He then removed to Toledo.
He served in the lower bouse of the
Oaiu Legislature during the sessions of
1S49 and 1S50.
President Grant chose Mr. Wair
along with William M. Evarts and
Caleo Cushing as counsel for the United
States before tbe Tribunal of Arbitra
tion at Geneva. In this position be ac
quitted himself very creditably, but
without acquiring any marked degree
of distinction. At the nineteenth con
ference of the Tribunal, held on the 8th
of August, 1S72. he delivered a written
argument in reply to portion of the
argument presented by the British
counsel. Uodar date of Ostober. 23.
IS72, Hon. Hamilton Fish communica
ted to Mr. Waite, asooecf the counsel
at the Geneva arbitration, the Presi
dent's approval of bis course, and his
thanks and "high appreciation of the
great ability, learning, labor and devo
tion to the interes, the dignity and the
honor of the Nation, wbich each in bis
appropriate sphere had made so success
fully conducive to Ihe very satisfactory
result which had been reached."
Mr. Waite received the degree of LL.
D. from Yale College in 1S72, and in '
1S73 was chosen president of the State
Constitutional Convention of Ohio. On
the 19ih of January. 1S73, be was, on
motion of Caleb Cushing. admitted to
tbe bar of tbe Supreme Court ot the
United States, and exactly one year
from that dte, without meanwhile
holding a brief before it, he wa9 nom
inated by President Grant to presiri
over it, holding the iosition until his
death.
Before the House.
The Ways and Mean: Committee has
directed a favoraole report to the House
of the Mills B.I! for reducing taxation.
Some concessions were made in tbe
Committee to tho beneficiaries of pro
tective duties. OJier conceRsi.ius will
be necessary if tbe bill is to pass. The
question is. How far shall tbe compro
mise be carried ?
To this there can be but one patriotic
answer : Whatever compromise is ne
cessary that does not sacrifice utterly
the sound Democratic principle of re
ducing llrst the taxes that are most
burdensome to the greatest number of
p?oole.
The main thing is to xtop the surplus.
The continuous collection of S13.U00.
000 a month in excess of the needs of
the Government is tiot only a monstrous
injustice to tbe people and the proliQc
source of extravagance and jobbery,
but it holds a serious menace to busi
ness, prosperity.
The surplm must be stopped with
tariff reform if possible, without snch
reform if necessary.
But the small minority of Democrats
whose attitude makes concessions ne
cessary should remember that a com
promise involves yielding on both sides.
Tbey have no right to ask the grea:
majority to yield more than has al
leady been conceded. They surely can
not expect that majority to yield every
thing. The country will mark every
vote, from whatever party, cast in favor
of freeing luxuries and vices from tax
ation in ordr to perpetuate a war tariff
noon the necessities of the people. 2s.

Tin-plate cannot be made in this

meet the widespread demand for ir.
Then why tax our people $3,000 000
annually for the tin-plate they must
have ror the thous-and articles of domes
tic use from the workingman's dinner
pail to the roof on the taxpayer's hous ?
Or. why ask people to pay twice 55 -000.000
for this tin-plate to the "pauper
labor of Europe ?' And yet this is the
proposition of Mr. Randall in his tariff
revision bill.
Is there any sens-, justice, morals or
political economy in such a proposition9
Ought not the American people to be

sion is to climb tbe telegraph poles and go

A Very Lively Deer.
Tisz Creek. Pa., Mrcb 19 Hunters
know that when a buck or deer Is wounded
and brought to bay it will turn on its pur
suers and attack them fnriously. William
Leinar, of Tar Bridge, Sullivan county, had
a novel and lively demonstration of that
fact on Thnr?day. He was driving along
the road a mile or so from Tar Bridge, w hen
he saw a large buck standing to the right of
he road, only a few feet from it. To hi
surprise it made no attempt to escape. L,e
mar drove on a short distance, and tretting
ont of his sleigh waited back toward the
deer. An he came near it he noticed thsj
the hair on the buck's neck began to brit
tle np fiercely, and that it laid its ears back
like a vicious horse. I.euiar had bad no ex
perience with deer, and could not restrain
bis curiosity to have a closer inspection of
this one, found under fuch extraordinary
circ uin stances.
He bad taken but a step or two further
when tha deer suddenly sprang at bim.
Lemar retreated hurriedly to a large stump
on tbe other side ot the road, and, getting
behind It, looked back. The deer was
coming, and then Lemar discovered that one
of its hind legs was broken, so that it
dragged after tbe deer on tlie snow. In
Fplte of its crippled condition, however, tlie
deer pursued Lemar so rapidly that he was
obliged to go round the stamp to avoid it.
ne says that the ugly look in the buck's
eye be never will forget.
At last be made a break from the btump
and ran at tbe top of his speed toward his
sleigh. He reached it safely, but, looking
back, saw that the deer, in attempting to
follow him, had broken through the crust
of a snowbank, and was unable to extricate
Itself. Knowing that the poor animal would
perish miserably in the snow if left to its
fate, Lemar resolved to put tt out on Its mis
ery If possible. He went back to where the
buck was Imprisoned in the snow, and,
at tbe risk of Injury to himself from the
deer's antlers, with which it struck at bim
furiously, be managed to plunge his knife
into tbe buck's throat. It bled to death
from the wound.
Lemar pulled tbe dead aoimal out of the
snow and took it with bim to Tar Bridge.
It was a very large buck, but muoh em-
! aciated. It is supposed, from the abear
ance of tbe fracture, that tbe deer had been
wandering about with tbe broken leg for
about a week, and that it must have been
broken while the deer was freeing Itsolf
after breaking through tbe crust iu deep
snow.
Medicinal tnalltle of Onlona.
The free use of onions for the table lias
always been considered bv most people a
healthy and desirable vegetable, aad but
for their odor, wbich is objectionable to
many, tbey would be found more gener
ally on our dining tables.
For a cold on the chest there In no better
specific, for most persons, than well boiled
or masted onions. Tbey may not agree
with every one, but to persons with good
digestion they will not oily be round to be
a most excellent remedy for a cough, and
the clogging of tbe bronchial tubes which Is
usually the cause of the cough, but If eaten
freely at the outset of tbe cold, they will
usually break np what promised, from the
severity of the attack, to have been a seri
ous one.
A writer in one of our medical journals
recently recommended tbe giving of young
raw onions to childreu three or four times
a week, and when tbey get too Urge and
strong to be eaten raw, then boil and roast
there, but not abandon tbeir free use.
Another writer, advocating their use,
says: During unhealthy seasons, when
diphtheria and like contagious diseases pre
vail, onions ought to be eaten in the spring
of the vear at least once a week. Onions
are Invigorating and prophylactic beyoud
description. Further, I challenge the med
ical fraternity or any mother to point out a
place wltere children have died from diph
theria or scarlatina angino.a, etc., where
onioua we:e froely used. Scientific Ahicri-can.
