Samuel Tilden Surely they ought and it tliuy or cannot they are unfit to possess a government He is hated because he represents the power the virtue ami the availability of the Demo cratic party He is hated because lie was robbed of property rightfully bis ami because in liis heart of hearts every honest Republican in the land to day knows that Hayes is an usurper and that the fraud which made him President was a ime against the political civiliza tion of the country ami a coure which is yet to wreak its vcngeaca Mr Tilden is kept pr minently be fore the people because him the great party of

they yield to this clamor or endorse it ever so lightly they dis honor themselves and help hurt their own organization Democrat It is growing more ami more evident that Mr Tilden while he may not be the nominee of the Cincinnati Convention is certainly the strongest man now in the field and if the convention were to assem ble to day ho would poll by far the largest vote on the first ballot The only objection ottered to Mr Tilden is that he carry New York Now it is hardly ptobable that ho will be put forward unless he is thought to be the stronger man fur that State and it is by nft means certain that he would be weaker with the Kelly oppwrtion than some other man without that opposition if he consents to make the nice and is nom na cd New York may be safely counted for the Democracy

arc hard! tative Renublicans The vention to bo he! promises to The United States Supreme have adjudged the Pike county township railroad bonds to be valid and judg ments have been given in favor of the bondholders The County Court has made an assessment for their payment and the collector of the county is de manding the taxes and when refusal is made is seizing the property of the taxpayers and advertising it for sale This is the brief recital of ft matter now agitating the minds of our people ami exciting general discussion I pro pose briefly to examine the question ami in order the more intelligently to do so shall put it in the form of this proposition viz: Should resistance In made to the col lection of these taxes or should we ac cept the decission of the Supreme Court as a final settlement of the mat ter ami make arrangements quietly and promptly to pay them upon de mand In order to simplify the solution of the proposition itis necessary to revert to the fact that the tax payers first refused to make payment on these bonds for the reason as they claimed that the terms of the contract upon which they voted this iiidebk dnes were not complied with This refusal brought the matter into the courts and jn resisting the pay ment of the bonds the tax payers in voked as a defence the unronsiitiition ulitv the Township Aid Art of 1868 under which the bonds in question were issued The Supreme Court of Mis souri in pas iiig upon this question held that act to be unconstitutioind and the bonds issued thereunder to be void But prior to this decisaion by the Supreme court of Mo the Su preme court in Harshman vs Bates county held the same view but subse quently overruled that derision and held the bonds issued under that act to be valid Thu final result up to thia time ot the litigation of this question in the ederal and State courts is a conflict of opin ion the first luinied courts holding these bonds to be valid while the latter adjudge them to Im void In view of these facts the absorbing question of 1he hour is whnt course hIihII the tax payers pursue It is no longer a question ns to whether lhe bonds are valid or in valid for that innlter lias been settled to the full extent of the power of the courts lo settle it The State Supreme court has been called upon to conform its opinion to that of the I' Supreme court but determinedly refuses to do so The Supreme court has been urged to bring its deris ion into conformity with the decision of Supreme court of Mo and this il positively declines to do This makes a ami different issue from any here tofore presented by any phase of this unfortunate question The bondhol ders Haunt the decision of the ederal courts in the face of tax payers and ex ulting) say must you shall pay these these tax payers defiant ly Haunt the derisions of tlie State courts in the face of the bondholders and say we don't owe the bonds we pay the bonds If obedience is given to the mandates of the ederal courts it is disobedience to the decrees of the Statz court On the other hand if the decisions of the State courts are observed the judge ments of lhe ederal courts must Im disregarded The taxpayers thus occu py a vexatious and uncertain positionV hat shall they do! Who will solve the difficulty Il is no longer a prob bun of dollars and cents but resolves itself into a great principle of ederal or Stab supremacy it reaches beyond a men question of vested rights suscep tible of an equitable adjustment be yond the domain of expediency or in expediency and outside of the legiti mate sphere of compromise and has become a question of supreme impor tance winch interweaves itself with the fundamental doctrines that underlie our national ami State governments If the ederal courts have acted within the legitimate bounds of consti tutional prerogatives jf it is a quest i which they have the right to adjudica without regard to the adjudications thereof by the State courts then this shouhl ue me emi oi me wnoie matter Joseph nun ami resistance to the payment of thns should cease iwit on me othei hand if the decision of lhe ederal court upon this question in view of the holdings of the Supreme court of the State is unwarranted without prece dent a usurpation of authority and in derogation of the rights of the people reserved to them by the constitution of the general government then this de cision should be scorned and eon tenmed and no peaceable effort cost whatever it may should be left untried by which it is possible to suppress the enforcement of judgement so flagrant ly subversive of the constitutionally vestezl rights of the

observed principles of judicial Wails Sr Joe will soon boast ol a unionlepot Its cost will not exceed $150 000 interpretation in reference to local or State laws It is only the enunciation of an al most universally accepted principle to say that the Supreme court of a State is the only true interpreter of a State law except as to whether or not it is in conflict with any provision of the Constitution or law passed in pursuance thereof and that whatever interpreta tion is placed it upon such law is of binding force and effect and is to Ih observed in that light by all other judicial tribunals the Supreme Court of the United States not excepted This fact is not only accepted as such on ac count of its universal recognition but because it grows out of the character and nature of our dual form of govern ment and is as to the main tenance of its harmonious action its well being and prosperity as that the interpretation of a United law by the Supreme Court should be accepted by the State Courts and be by them held inviolate To hold other wise would bring about constantly re curring discord ami eventually result in confusion and anarchy Ami the same reasons that warrant this conclu sion with equal force apply when by some circ*mstances a quest ion of inter 1 pretation properly belonging to a given court first gets into some other court and there receives an interpretation afterwards given it by the court whose special province it is to interpret it and require that the court in which it was first interpreted should in after deeis sions conform its opinion to the inter pretation placed upon it by the proper tribunal having special rights in the premises To violate this principle is to wrest violently from the whole peo ple vested rights of the most sacred order to do which is an iniquity much greater as compared with the vested rights of a few bondholders who are to be protected by its violation as the mountains are larger than mole hill That the Supreme Court after over ruling its former decision on this ques tion as if they were playing leap frog: for their own aiuusemeiil did violate this principle there is no question and are therefore chargeable with having wilfully discarded a finidameiitai maxim of American jurisprudence and with having flagrantly usurped a pre rogative which is reserved by the con stitution to the State courts by virture of their relation to the people Entertaing this view of the question at issue I not hesitate to say that if the judgments of the ederal courts in reference to these bonds can he legiti mately evaded or defeated that respect for their own rights and their devotion to the principles of ami their detestation of tin usurpation of unwarrated authority should induce the people to spare neither time trouble nor expense in order to accom plish this result Ist them calmly ami dispassionately meet the issue that the bondholders backed by the iniquitous decision of a court that has usurped authority in order to do their Induing have forced upon them ami appeal to our own courts for protection against the rob bery which these bom! scculators eek to Hrpetrate under the form of law ami in defiance of the decisions of a tribunal of justisc that alone has legal authority to settle the question as to lhe constitutionality of the law under which these bonds were issued Ami even should defeat come to this effort remember that the people are supreme ami that they arc the wiirce of all jiower judicial as well as legis lative ami executive ami that ten years suflices in which thoroughly rcinod dle
