At 2:20 the Senate resued the con sideration of the Blair educational bill and was addressed by Senator Spooner, of Vhconsin. lie had voted, he said, once in favor ot the bill, not without some misgiving as to its policy. When it came again before the Senate he had felt constrained (after full reflection on the subject) to vote against it; and now as it was once more pending for action, ho way impelled to vote against it, and he desired to state his reasons for doing M) with brevity and directness. lief erring to the claim that the Re publican party was pledged to the sup port of the bill, he read an extract the Republican National platform and denied that it contained a committal of of the party to the bill. He had no difficulty as to Federal rad to State too poor to provide for common school education, but he did not admit that the Federal hand could take jurisdic tion of the school system of a State. He asserted his belief that f-inee the. bill was introduced in 1SS0, there had come over the country, North and South, a great chango of feeling as to its expediency.

A disastrous wreck occurred on the Fort WayDe road at Lakeville, west of this city at one o'clock this morning. The third section of a train broke down and the fourth section of the same train crash ed Into its rear end. Immediately after the crash a tank car of gasoline in front of the caboose exploded and scattered the burning liquid over the debris, which took fire and burned fiercely. On the engine were engineer John Cowan, and fireman Harvey Golhouse and head brakeman Edward Miller. Ail of them were killed and their bodies burned to a crisp. Eighteen loaded cars were burned. The heat was so intense that it melted the bell on the engine of the fourth section and it ran down in a molten form overhe boiler. The ties were burned for a dis tance of 500 feet and the track was bent and drawn into all kinds' of shapes. Richmond, Va., March 3. Near Kings' Mountain, N. C, on Sunday morning, the third section of a freight train on the Richmond and Danville Railrod ran into the rear part of the second section, composed of four ca boose cars loaded with train hands, and three freight cars. Seven cars and the locomotives were piled ud and the cars burned. Ten persons were more or less injured. The engineers and firemen of the telescoping trains escaped by jumping. St. Louis, March 3.

Several of the Southern States, he said, were opposed to it through their Senators. Leading newspapers' of the South were no longer in favor of it. To-day it was the sentiment of the edu cators in the South, and of thoughtful poo pie, that this aid was no longer necessary. If the South had needed aid from the Federal Treasury in 1870 or 1S30 it did not need it now. The Senator from New Hampshire said that it did. Senators and Legislatures of several of the States said that it did not, and the great mass of Southern nwwspapers said that.it did not.

Important Supreme Court DecisaJon. Raleigh, N. C.v March 3.-Spe-CIAL The Supreme Court, this even ing, decided a most important case that of Redmond versus the town of Tarboro. The point involved was whether or not that section of the Con stitution, which provides that all taxes levied by any county, city, town or township, shall be uniform and ad va lorum upon all property in the same, except property exempted by the Con Washington, March 3. The Fed eral Supreme Court, to-dav, rendered an opinion in the case of Bernard I J. Hans, t piaintitl in error, versus the btate of Louisiana, brought here on appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Louisiana. It i said that from ten to twelve million dollars aro involved in the case, the d'.cUion of which turns upon the important constitutional question of the right of a citizen to sue his own State. Ii i said this question has never been decided. Hans is the owner of a considerable amount of consolidated bondsof the State of Louisiana. When the State issued these bonds it made provision for the levy of -a special tax to meet the interest and principal of these bonds. It furthermore declared the bonds to create a contract between the State and the bondholders, which 6hould not be impaired and declared that judicial power should be exercised wkenevcr necessary to secure a levy anil collec tion of the tax and payment of the bonds. The State Constitution adopted in 1S79, however, partly repudiated this agreement and directed that the reve nue collected by the levy of the special interest tax should be diverted to de fray the expenses of the State Govern ment Hans, who is a citizen of Louisiana, brought suit to have the new State Constitution declared invalid so far as it impaired the contract between the State and the bondholders, on the ground that it violated the Constitu tion of the United States. The State set up the plea that it could not be sued by oue of its own citizens without its consent and the Circuit Court de ciding the question in favor of the State, the case comes here for final decision. Judge Bradley, in his opinion, af firming this judgement, says that if, as the plaintiff in error contends, he has the right to maintain the suit because he is a citizen of Louisiana and not of some other State, then we should have this anomalous result; that in cases arising under the Constitution of the . I TTnitoH Staoc n Qtato m t- Kr cimfl in was nearly . " , yj . , As he had I ine eaeral uouris Dy its own citizens tnougn not dv citizens oi otner states; for this is forbidden by the eleventh amendment. If this is a necessary conseqnence of the language of the Con stitution and the law,the result is no less startling, rmd unexpected than was the original decisions of the Court in the case of Chisholm vs. the btate oi oeor gia, that under the language of the Constitution the State was liable to be sued by a citizen of another State. This decision created such surprise throughout the country that at the first meeting of Congress thereafter the 11th amendment to the Constitu tion was almost unanimously proposed and in due course adopted. In conclusion the Court says: It is not necessary to enter upon an exam ination of the reasons of the expediency of the rule which exempts a sovereign State from prosecution in a Court of Justice at the suit of individuals. It is enough to declare its existence. The Legislative Department of a State rep resents its policy and its will, and is called upon by the hightest demands of divine and natural law to preserve justice and judgment, and to hold in violate tne obligations oi tne state.

Mr, Houk, of Tennessee, called up tho contested election case of Feather stone versus Cate, of Arkansas. Mr. Outhwaite, of Ohio, in advocating the the cate of , the contestee, exhibited what is known as tho double action ballot box, which the Republicans as sert was used in twenty-one precincts, and which enables the precinct judges to cast aside the vote of any person they may sec fit. He showed the ma nipulation by which such judges could deceive a voter and lead him to believe that his ballot has been properly depos ited. He quoted from the returns of the precincts where it is alleged these boxys were used in order to show that the vote for Featherstone far exceeded that for Cate; and he further asserted that there was not a particle of evi dence in the case to show that such a box, as he now presented, was used at the election. Tne ballot box has been brought into the case by authority for the contestant, but nobody had told wheie it had come from. Speaking of ballot-boxes, some peo ple were inclined to think that if a cer tain ballot-box, with the accompany ing forgery, had been kept out of the Ohio campaign, the resnlt of- the late election might have been different. Pending further debate, the House, at 5;15. adjourned. Consideration of the case will be continued to-morrow. stitution, includes moneys, credits. investments, &c, or whether it applies Any departure from this rule, except for reasons most cognet (of wnicn tne Legislature alone can judge) never fails in the end to incur the odium of the world and to bring lasting injury upon the State itself. But to deprive the Legislature of the power of judging what the honor and safety of the State may require, even at the expense of temporary failure to discharge public debts, would be at tended with greater evils than such failure could cause. It would, in fact, deprive the State of that sovereigntj and independence in the management of its affairs which are essential to its autonomy, and which is always under stood to be its prerogative by all pri vate parties that deal with it. The Court reversed the judgment in the case of the State of Nonh Carolina and Roberts, Auditor, against Temple, for the reasons stated In the Hans case. This case involved several mil lion of dollars, and also presented the question of the right of the citizen to sue his own State. It came here on a certificate of division of opinion among the Judges of the Circuit Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. Washington, March 3 The dele gates to the International American Conference are beginning to talk about tne nnai aaiourAmAnt. wnicn wui ation. The Court holds that it includes all solvent credits, investments, money, &c. This overrules the case of Pullen versus Raleigh, rendered some years ago. New Tork Contract Labor Unloq.
