fine of Jo,ooo. The cam was tried by A jury, ■which rendered a general verdict for the United .States, and this court sustains the decision of •the lower eonrt. Samuel A. Walling against The People of the Stare of Michigan. In June, 18855, WaiUng. the plaintiff in error, was prosecuted in the police court, of Grand Rapids, Mich., under a State law imposing a tax on persons engaged in the business of selling liquor in that State, to be shipped from any other State. He was a drummer for the firm of Cavanagh & Cos,, of Chicagt, and he was eharged in one count with selling liquor at wholesale without a license, and, in another, with soliciting and taking orders for its sale without a license. He was convicted and sentenced to pay a fine, and was imprisoned in default of payment He appealed to the County Circuit Court, in which the case was tried by a jury, and was found guilty. The case was earned to the Supreme Court of Michigan, which decided against Walling. The question in the case is. whether the statute under which Walling was prosecuted is repugnant to the Constitution of the United States. This court held, Judge Bradley delivering the opinion, that a discriminating tax imposed by a State, operating to the disadvantage of the products of other States when introduced in the first-mentioned State, is, in effect, a regulation of interstate commerce among the States, and, as such, is a usurpation of the power conferred b j the Constitution upon the Congress, of tho United States. The Supreme Court of Michigan held that the tax imposed by the act is an exeercise of the police ' power of the State for the discouragement of the use of intoxicating liquors and the preservation of the health and morals of the people. The Supreme Court of the United States holds that this would be a perfect justification of tho act if it did not discriminate against the citizens and the products of other States, and thus usurp one of the prerogatives of the national legislature. The eourt concludes its opinion as follows: “We think that the act in question operates as a regulation of commerce among the States in a man ner within the exclusive power of Congress, and that it is for this reason repugnant to the Constitution of the United States, and tho judgpoentof the Supremo Court of Michigan is reversed and the case remanded, with instructions to take such further proceedings as may not be inconsistent with this opinion.” Robert Carrick vs. L. Q. C. Lamar, Secretary of the Interior. Carrick applied to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia for a writ of mandamus against the Secretary of the Interior to order a survey to be made of Arsenal island, in the Mississipi river, opposite St. Louis, upon which he had settled for the purpose of obtain ing a title. The Supreme Court of the District rejected his application, and the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the decision of the lower court

AMERICAN ROOTS AND SHOES. Reasons Why Our Manufacturers Cannot Compete with Foreign Makers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 18.—In April last the State Department instructed the consuls located in different parts of the world, and representing the United States, to inquire whether the market for American leather and boots and shoes could be by any manner of means extended. The consuls made investigations, and the result is a very elaborate printed report on the subject. In summing up the results of their investigation, Governor Porter, Assistant Secretary of State, does not take a very hopeful view of the outlook. He thinks that as the supply of skins does not meet the demand in this country, and is also necessary for our manufacturers to import tanning materials, that they cannot successfully cope with the manufacturers in countries where materials are very much cheaper than in the United States. It is found that the work produced in this country is very superior to that in nearly every other country of the world, and that the people are everywhere prejudiced in favor of domestic goods. The investigation was conducted at the request of Boston manufacturers, and is said to have proven unsatisfactory to them. MINOR MATTERS. Rills Introduced in the House Yesterday by Indians Members.

Dufour, of Vevaj*, who was removed from his position in the Treasury Department, last week, at the instance of Representative Holman, said to the Journal correspondent to-night that the statement inspired by Mr. Holman, and telegraphed from here to the Cincinnati Enquirer of last Friday, charging him with numerous political crimes in the last campaign, and with posing as a Domocrat since for the purpose of retaining bis position, is a tissue of falsehoods, with the single exception of making Republican speeches.

INDIANA. The Story of Stephen Campbell, Who Has Been Sentenced to Life Imprisonment. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Clayton, Jan. 18.— During the year 1871 or 1872 a man named Stephen. Campbell came to Brownshprg, Hendricks county, from the southern part of the State. A woman accompanied him, and he said she was his wife. After a short time they went away, and Campbell soon returned alone, claiming his wife had died during the time. He worked in the vicinity of Brownsburg probably twelve months, and married a lady by the name of Missouri Hamilton. They seemed to live happily together for nearly a year, when the wife suddenly became sick. Campbell went to Brownsburg, two miles away, at midnight, and secured the services of Dr. Barker. The doctor immediately visited the home of Campbell, and found his wife suffering from the effects of arsenical poison. All possible aid was rendered, but the woman died. Campbell did not return home from his call on Dr. Barker, but disappeared. A post mortem examination was held over the remains of the dead woman, and it was settled beyond doubt that she diod from the effects of arsenical poison. The grand jury, at the April term, 1874, returned an indictment against Campbell, charging him with murder. The County Commissioners offered a reward of SIOO for his arrest, and two citizens of the county each offered SSO. Campbell was chased through Morgan, Brown and Monroe counties, but escaped. No trace of him further was found until the last week of October, 1885. John Douglass, of Plainfield, went to Clinton, this State, and while there recognized Campbell in a store. Upon inquiry, Douglass learned that Campbell was married again, and had one child, and was known by the assumed name of Mike Enliss. Douglass, being satisfied that Campbell was the murderer, had him arrested and brought him to Danville, where he was lodged in jail the 2d day of last November. Campbell had resided in Clinton five years, and vehemently protested that his name was Enliss; but citizens of Brownsburg identified him a3 Stephen Campbell. The trial commenced last Wednesday, in the Hendricks Circuit Court, Judge Ayres on the bench, and the jury went out at 3p. m. on Saturday. No verdict was reached until 10 o’clock Sunday morning, when Campbell was sentenced for life. In the first ballot of the jury ten were in favor of hanging. A well-defined rumor says that Campbell left a wife and five children in the eastern part of the Stato a few years before he came to Brownsburg. Campbell is probably fifty-throe years old. - Religious Matters at Plainfield.

Reminiscences of Paul Morphy. New York Sun. When Paul Morphy first appeared as a great chess player in the city of New York at the first American chess congress, in 1857, he met in a social way the players of New York at a restaurant at Nassau and Fulton streets. Over a glass of sherry and a biscuit, which he usually took there before beginning one of his famous games, the then leading players of America first made his acquaintance. He was 21 years of age, small in stature, and of slight frame. His eyes were dark and piercing, and they glowed under a broad, square forehead. Iu his bearing he was a prince in politeness, and never seemed conscious of the possession of great abilities. Probably the most salient point in his character was his self-possession. Paul Morphy was of a chess-playing family. He was born in New Orleans in 1537. His grandfather was a Spaniard, and on his mother’s side he was French. When a mere child ho watched hi3 father play chess. Seeing the boy’s interest in the game, Paul’s father taught him the value of the pieces and the laws of the game, and at ten years old the old gentleman found his time pretty fully occupied when the yonng Morphy sat opposite him at the chess board. Within two years Morphy contended successfully with the foremost amateur chess players in New Orleans. He considered pawns as hindrances, and exchanged, or even sacrificed them in order to give free range to his pieces, which he threw into his adversary’s territory like a little avalanche, and kept up so fierce an attack that his opponent had hardly a chance to breathe. Once in a while a foreign player of distinction visited New Orleans, and every time tho foreigner tackled the boy the foreigner was metaphorically wiped out. When not fourteen years old Paul Morphy won nine-tenths of the games be played in New Orleans with Eugene Rousseau, who bad played with the famous Stanley in 1845, and with Kierseritzky. tbe Hungarian player. Ernest Morphy, Paul's uncle, was almost equal to Rousseau, and the boy won every game ho played with bis uncle. Lowenthal, a really great player, visited New Orleaas, and, in five games with him, Paul won two games, lost one, end two were drawn. In the New York Chess Congress, in 1857, Morphy easily defeated Paulsen, the great blindfold player, Fiske, Marasche, Lichtenhein, Thompson, Meade, Perrin, and others, who were considered the best in America. Iu the following year he went to London and won a majority of the games against tbe best players in the British kingdom, performed the then .unparalleled feat of playing eight games without the board, defeating six of his opponents. At Paris be played at the Case de la Regence, and defeated Riviere, Laroche. Jowmand, and Divinick. Harwitz he defeated five times in seven games. Out of eleven games with Anderssen, Anderssen was beaten seven times, and two games were drawn. On his return to New York in 1859, a reception was tendered to Morphy, at which the intellect, wealth, culture, fashion and beauty of the metropolis vied in doing him honor. Charles O’Connor presided. President John Van Buren made the address of welcome. Mr. Morphy’s admirers, through Mr. W. J. A. Fuller, presented him with a set of gold and silver chess men. Morphy was shortly afterward admitted to the practice of law in New Orleans, but he was never active as a lawyer. It was believed by his friends that he greatly injured his health by the strain upon his faculties occasioned by blindfold playing. He gave up playing chess many years before he died. ’Chess players esteem Morphy’s games for his power of combination. His invention was marvelous. He was eminently an attacking player. His schemes for harassing an adver* sary were as various as they were brilliant His great power of analysis was effective in involved and complicated positions of the pieces. Ho was wont to say that he aimed to look just one move beyond his antagonist’s coup d’sel, confident that none of the thousand variations of play had been overlooked. Morphy's temperament favored his play. He was always calm and self-possessed. He forgot nothing. What delighted him more than anything was to study up some of the bold dodges of the famous player he was to play with, and trip his antagonist into a trap once used by himself, but long ago forgotten and disused. His most wonderful performances were those in which be made some of his best moves by intuition, as it was impossible for the human brain to thoroughly analyze the various possible results. One instance will suffice. In a game with Paulsen in the Chess Congress, in 1857. Morphy offered his queen for a bishop. It looked suicidal, and Paulsen deliberated an hour whether he should take or refuse the queen. He could uot resist the offer. Many players who studied the game on their own boards failed to discover Morphy’s subsequent move. Morphy edited the chess column in Mr. Bonner’s New York Ledger for a year.

Miss Board’s Remains* Wilmington, Del, Jan. 18.—The train bearing the body of Miss Katherine Bayard arrived here this evening. Secretary Bayard, his son and Senator Gray, accompanied the remains to this city. The casket was taken to the old Sweedish Church, where it will remain until the funeral.

Louisville, Jan. ia— Tommy Warren, of Louisville, and Arthur Magesly, of Bloomington* 111. fought for the feather-weight championship in a quiet suburb, to-night. The terms were $250 a side, twenty rounds, with two-onnce gloves, Marquis of Queensbury rules. The first round was evenly contested. Tn the second Warren forced the fighting and knocked Magesly around viciously. In the third he knocked

Mageely to hi* knees twice, and slugged him so savagely that the latter was unable to come to time, and Warren was declared the winner. LABOR AND WAGES. The Strike In the Coke Region—A Crowd of Hungarians Defy a Sheriff. Mt. Pleasant, Pa., Jan. 18. —The More wood and Standard mines were heavify guarded last night. The events of last, week, however, have had an intimidating effect upon the men willing to work, and very few presented themselves at the ovens. No disturbance occurred last night. The company’s guards and deputies are holding undisputed possession. This morning Sheriff Stewart, with twenty-five deputies, went to Mbrewood to arrest a Hungarian who had threatened to shoot a man who wanted to work. The Hungarians saw them coming from the house in which the offender was surrounded by a mob of his countrymen. They were armed with clnbs and the women with knives, and they swore they would all die before they would allow the strikers to be arrested. The sheriff held a council of war and determined not to precipitate a conflict. His small band then retreated. It will be impossible to make any arrests without bloodshed now, by the ordinary process of law. Everything is quiet at both places now. Sheriff Stewart reached Mount Pleasant this afternoon, and will hold a consultation at Groensburg to-night with the coke operators regarding the advisability of asking State aid to quell the disturbances which will inevitably occur if any arrests are made. There has been no disturbance at either the Moorewood or Standard works to-day. The miners at the Valley, Hecla and United works are reported to have come out this afternoon. At a convention of miners and coke drawers of the Cornellaville region, at Scottdale, Pa., to-day, it unanimously decided to order a general strike for a ten-cent advance in wages, and committees were appointed to visit all the coke mills, and persuade the men to quit work at once. Over 7,000 men are employed in the coke region, and it is expected by Wednesday all will be idle. The Glass-Workers’ Unions. Pittsbtjkg, Jan. 18 —The glass-workers’ representatives now in this city trying to effect an amalgamation of the window-glass-workers’, flint-glass-workers’ and green-bottle-blowers’ unions have arrived at an agreement on the principles of the amalgamation. It was decided that all three nnions join the Knights of Labor; that an executive board, consisting of fifteen members, representing the three branches, be formed; that each branch have the same voting power, and that a general strike fund be established. All these are to be managed by the new amalgamated society, independent of the Knights of Labor. The exective board is to have power to veto any strike if they deem it inopportune or ncreasonable, and to make levies among the members to raise the strike fund, which shall only be used to assist workmen in conflicts authorized by the board of managers. The funds are to be invested.

A DEMOCRATIC SCHEME. How Governor Hill Hopes to Name the Nest Senator from New York* New York Special. The next Legislature in this State is to'elect a successor to Senator Warner Miller, whose term expires a year hence, and men of both partita a^e al , rea< ? y of the probable outcome of the election for members of the Assembly next fall and the choice they are likely to Miller wauts to he bis own successor, and so f as surface indications go he has the Republic J field clearly to himself, but that fact exists nnl because the elements in the party opposed S him have not yet begun to organize. The moat interesting part of the approaching contest is the confidence which many Democrats profess in their ability to wrest the Legislature from the Republicans and to elect one of their own number as Senator Evarts's colleague. The present Legislature has a Republican majority of eight in the Senate and twenty-six in the Assembly, making thirty-four in all. The senators hold over another year, but anew Assembly is to be chosen in November. A Democratic gain of eighteen in the Assembly will, therefore, be necessary for them to get control of the Legislature. To Democratic minds, elated over what they regard as the drift of political sentiment, this may seem an easy matter; but it is, nevertheless, a fact that a Democratic majority in tho New York Legislature has only existed twice in over a quarter of a century; once when John A. Dix was elected Governor, and again in 1875, when the Tilden tidal wave swept iu enough Democratic assemblymen to overcome a Republican Senate. But Governor Hill and his followers belive, in this respect at least, that history will not repeat itself, and they are formulating apian to capture the United States senatorship. The Governor’s recent visit hero is now admitted to have been partly for this purpose, and he returned to Albany with, a little list, subject to revision, of the Republican Assembly districts in this State in which the Democrats can make a fight with 8 probability of winning. Governor Hill has takes personal charge of this movement, and its gradual development will be noticed throughout the State by the judicious distribution he will make of the public patronage in districts where it will do the most good. The fight will be a “still hunt,” conducted on those principles of political warfare which Mr. Tilden evolved, and which Hill, his apt scholar, was not slow to taKe up last summer. Mr. Hill does not want the place for himself. He would rather succeed Grover Cleveland than Warner Miller. But bo wants to name Miller’s successor, and so have his support in his struggle for the presidency. There is one tning to be said about Hill's political ambition—ho makes no concealment of it, but admits that he is shaping his official course and trying to mold his party's sentiment in the direction of his nomination in 1888. His present move to capture the Legislature is, therefore, only one of a series of bold political strategies which will be developed as time goes on. The Western Base Ball League.
