Judge Bond, tof the XL S. Cir
cuit court, upon application of
some of the defendants infc these
cases, some of the delinquents,
granted an injunction command
ing the Attorney General to nol
pros, the suits and proceed no
further. This order the Attorney
General refused to obey, and
Judge Bond committed him to
jail for contempt of court. The
Attorney General applied to the
1 I
Supreme court at Washington and j
a, writ of habeas corpus, returna-1
ble last Monday, was issued. The
decision lias not yet been pro
nounced. , '
This is the question of State
sovereignty again. Can a State
manage its own affairs ? The
eleventh amendment to the con
stitution which went into force
applies directly to this case, and
now it is to be seen whether the
courts or the; constitution is the
higher authority. The eleventh
amendment is a& follows
The Judicial power of the United
States shall not be construed to ex
tend to .any suit in law or eauity
commenced or prosecuted against
anyjjne of the United States by cit
zens of another State or by subjects
of any oreign btate.
The Nev York Herald lias this
to say on the question :
"This is the first time such au
thority over a State officer has
ever been exercised by a Federal
court. It marks a new era in the
relations between the State and
the general government. It
exercised by j udge Bond in this
instance pursuant to the decision
rendered by the Supreme court
at WashingtonTwo years ago in
the Virginia coupon cases.
In those cases the question was
whether a State officer could be
sued in a-Federal court by an 'in
dividual, and whether. an injunc
tion would lie in fayor of an in
dividual against a State officer.
Virginia . pleaded the eleventh
amendment of the constitution,
Avhich exempts a State from suits
brought by citizens without its
consent. The Supreme court drew
a distinction between a State and
its officers. It drew a distinction
I I (V i
oetween omeers acting under a j
State law which is constitutional
and one which is unconstitutional. ',
It held that a State officer acting
under a State law repugnant to
the constitution of the United
States may be sited by an individ
ual in a Federal court or enjoined
by an injunction granted by a
iederal jndge.
cannot m tnat way
nature of things.
This is the first time, wo be
lieve, since the eleventh amend
ment was adopted in which a
State has been coerced by judicial
proceedings -at the suit of indi
viduals, ia the Federal court.
That this is such a case seems one
of the plainest propositions that
can be Mated."
This is btrong language to come
from four justices of the Supreme
court. Thev emphatically declare
that th decision of the majority
virtually- annuls the eleventh
amendment of the Federal con
stitution, and concedes the Feder
al courts for the first time in the
history of the nation the power
to coerce a State. The majority,
on the other hand, insisted that
the federal constitution would
be litigatory if its provisions
could not be enforced against a
State. .
That a Supreme court will sus
tain, for the present, at least, the
actioli ot Judge Bond is to be ex
pected, since he simply applied a
principle affirmed by the court,
but thero is this significant fact
to be noted. The recent death of
Justice Woods leaves the bench
evenly divided on the great ques
tion involved. That question will
doubtless be 'reconsidered when
the vacancynow existing is filled,
and whether the court will re
affirm or reverse the decision it
rendered two years ago .will de
pend upon the vote of the new
justice. It will be an extraordi
nary power to fall into the . hands
of one man.;

The decision made a radical
change in the relations between
State and national government.
It was a marked inroad in the do
main of State sovereignty. It
gave to the Federal, judiciary a
vast power over State officers
which had never before been as
serted by it a power which has
just been exercised by Judge
Bond to eniQin a State officer
from discharging a duty imposed
by State law and to imprison the
officer because he obeyed his State
instead of the Federal authority.
The power may be wielded not
only in Virginia but in any State ;
not only to enforce payment of
State debts, but to compel ob
servance of any obligation under
the Federal constitution.
This'highly important decision
of the court was based on a bare
majority of one. Four of the
nine justices maintained that to
sue a State officer is to sue the

Melancholy Remark and a

THE TAX ON TOBACCO,
4,G1T THERE."
1S
WftstuHfrton Letter to I'LiL Record. '
Aiwusfcint-Secretary of the Treas
ury Thompson was formerly
Governor of South Carolina, and
might, therefore, be supposed to
know . more or less about that
famous remark of the Governor
of North Carolina. He said to me
the other day that it waa marvel
ous how far that remark had trav
eled. During his long tour of in
spection among lighthouses and
life-saving stations d the great
lakes this summer he heard of it
in the most unexpected ways and
places.
" hy, he continued, "one day
Mr. Kimball rthe superintendent
of the life saving service) and I
went ashore at a littlo village to
get shaved. We found a barber's
shop and two inquisitive barbers.
The one who shaved me . asked
questions about my journeyings
until he found out that I was from
Washington, and then he asked
me whether I had a place in any
of the departments. I told him I
had, but did not' tell him what if
was, and he did not think it well
to "pursue the subject. He got
through before the other barber,
and I told Kimball as I surren
dered my chair to an old country
man that I would wait for him
outside. No sooner had I gone
than the barber asked Kimball
who I was. "That was Governor
Thompson of South Carolina," he
said, "now Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury." With this the'old
farmer rose up in his chair, all
lathered as he was, and said :
"Do you suppose he would tell
me what it was the . Governor of
North Carolina said to him ?" I
asked Governor Thompson who
those famous Governors were, and
just what occurred at their fa
mous meeting. He said that he
did not know them by name, and
that the story waa old when he
was born. lhe tradition was
that the Governor of North Caro
lina in the good old days when
prohibition was not dreamed of
journeyed(on horseback.of course)
to make a formal call on the Gov
ernor of Sonth Carolina. The lat
ter had a jug full of liquor in the
house at the time, and for-ome
inexplicable reason could get no
more. When his distinguished
guest arrived he set the jug out
on the table and invited the Gov
ernor of North Carolina to make
himself at home. The guest drank
copiously, the host moderately,
to preserve at once his ' soberness
and his liquor. Atlast he saw
with dismay that . his guest had
drank the last drop of the precious
liquor. The' guest -was too drunk
to know it, but he missed the fa
miliar invitation of the host to take
another drink. S07 leaning on his
elbows, he looked across the
table reproachfully with the mel
ancholy remark : "Governor, it's
a long time between drinks."

This nuts a vert different asnect
on this highly important . matter.
If onlv the hecuse feature of the
law is abolished the revenue will'
be reduced but, about $5o.tXH). It
is the tax on cigars and manufac-
fureu tobacco that yields the $2 -
000,000 that Mr. Bandall and his
friends are demanding nbaU Ihj
abolished.' It is the clamor that
comes from the farmers that Mr.
Carlisle has yielded iu this matter.
They are Jthe ones complaining
most of the revenue law relating
to tobacco. Thev declare that
in forcing them to sell the product
of their labor only to licensed
dealers, circumscribes their op
portunity and forces down the
price. Ihey ask to no permitted
to dispose of their tobacco as they
do any other production of their
crop to whomsoever they please
without condition or restriction.
The manufacturers, on the oth
er hand, it is said, prefer that the
tax bo kept on tho manufactured
articles. The government thereby
assumes the- protection of their
private brands against infringe
ment, and in a measure beneficial
to themselves regulates the whole
trade. The . manufacturer does
not take the tax into account at
all, and its collection works no
hardship whatever to him. He
has never joined in any petition
for the repeal 01 the law
The Commissioner of internal
revenue said to-day: "I do" not
think it wise'to talk of taking off
the tobacco tax. It ought to be
left just where it is. As for the
complaint made by the farmers,
think it illgrounded. I doubt very
much if prices for leaf tobacco
would be in the slightest degree
improved by the removal" of the
provision requiring all dealers to
be licensed. The license figure is
entirely reasonable and within the
reach of any person with the
means to do thatsort of business
This news, that Mr. Carlisle will
only yield the slight point of the
license tax, .and that only in obe-
aience to tue farming communities

Speaking of traveling on Sun
day, I am reminded of a good
thing I heard on Judge Colquitt,
father of Senator Colquitt. He
was a Methodist preacher and a
good one, too. He used to go to
the eourt on Sunday, and to ease
his conscience he always . stopped
if he came across a church on his
way, and sometimes preached. On
one occasion he stopped at a
Hardshell Baptist church. When
he went in the preacher was be
laboring the other denominations
than his own. . He at length got
to the Methodists (of course he
didn't know Judge Colquitt). He
said the Methodists reminded him
of a tree frog. They got on one
limb and they said higher, and
then got on another limb above
and said higher, and thus they
go till they get to the top, and
down they come ker:flop, and,
brethren, that's what they call
falling from grace. When he was
done he said if there was anybody
present who wanted to speak, he'd
be glad to hear from them. Judge j
Colquitt arose and thanked him
for the privilege of speaking; said J

fell into his hands. It was rilled
with reading matter of a light
character. It professed to be
published at asliington, at a
subscription price of 2 per an
num, and for S3 additional the
publishers agreed to insure the
lives of the subscriber. In several
parts of the magazine were adver
tisements of the Louisiana State
Lottery, with directions, testimo.
nials, &c. It was found that the
"insurance" money was for : the
lottery tickets, and the "policy
would be paid in case of accident
that is. in case the holder held
the lucky number. The men who
were handling this queer publica
tion were arrested and fined, and
7,000 copies of the magazine were
confiscated. '
The same dodge, no doubt,
will be tried in other States. Let
our State authorities be on the
watch for such fraudulent schemes.

Below are ftoine of the charac
teristic things Mr. Jones said:
I have been frequently referred
to as a slang-slinger. 1 believe
in biking the near cuts on amthiu
except a straight road. 1
lo git thero we need
Firt, a-sturting point, !
Secondly, a route,
Thirdly, someUxly to go it,
Finally, a destination.
God has not made something
it of nothing since tho ".evening
of the sixth day. What a inau
has in him will determiuo largely
how long it will take him to "git
there." Some people have more
in them just after dinner than any
other time. '
I have said frequently there are
too many animals in the world for
the amount of human Wing we
have. You see au animal that
looks like a man. Ho marries a
wife and has children to call him
father. He presents himself to
the world as a man, and you take
an augur and bore into him and
you wouldn't go more than half
au inch-before yon would strike
as pure a dog as ever was foiuiu
on this earth.
Man must have a head on him
and a heart in him.
Ignorance is unstable you
can't calculate upon ignorance.
If I was going to build a pave
ment on w hich a man might walk
to the grandest destiny the first
stone 1 would put down would, be
integrity.
Some men tire so iu the habit
of telling lies that they couldn t
tell the truth at three fair , trial.
Truth is always uppermost, ready
to come out. A lie has to ba man
ufactured. It is easier to tell the
truth than it is to To. You tell one
lie and it mav take a thousand to
cover it up. Some people would
cover it up if it took a million. If
a man tells the truth that's tho last
of it.
It is said that every honest man
has a patch of hair growing iu the
, . . -1 t-. .
palm ot las, nana. .every man
present who hasithat patch of hair
stand up. Nobody arose. If I
hail some in 'c my hand I'd feel
lonesome in this crowd. .
Evervbody in Atlanta is looking
for bargains. Somo have beeu
looking in the Louisiana lottery'
for bargains. 1 dou t mind seeing;
a rascal lose his money, but I hate
to see a fool lose his.
. An old woman once said to me:
"You talk more foolishness than
any preacher I ever saw." "Sis
ter," said-1, "do you 'know what
foolishness is?" "What is it?" said
she. "Its stuff you nib on fools,"
said I.
Enterprise always gits there.
God called some preachers to
preach just to. keen them out l
devilment.
If solemn preaching would have
saved the world, we would have
had our wings and been off to glo-.;
rylong ago. 'There ; have isen
enough solemn sermons in sAtlan
ta to have made this citv a sub
urb of the new Jerusalem. Good j
old solemn brother.I'd just as soon
hear a bumblebee tumble around
for an hour. ' -
I heard a fellow say once that
he heard of a buck that had horns
six feet across run through a thick
et a mile a minute when the trees
were only eighteen inches apart.
