FULL STATEMENT OF THE CASE.
Washington, Jan. 14.—A full
statement of tlie important Civil
Rights euse in tlie Supreme Court is
as follows:
No. 117—Hall administratrix of
Benson vs. Doouir, error to tlie Su
preme Court of Louisiana—In this
ease Benson was master of a steam
boat, enrolled and licensed underjthe
laws of tlie United States and plying
between New Orleans and Vicks

fendant on account of bis color, und
this suit was brought under thu law
of tlie State, forbidding discrimina
tion by common carriers within the
State * on account of race
or color. Tlie ilefeuse was Unit
tlie law of tlie State was a
void act, us II hud undertaken
u regulation of commerce, so far as
the business of the defendant's vessel
was concerned, as it was engaged in
Inter-State trade and commerce, a
matter wholly within the jurisdic
tion und control of Congress. The
State court held the law valid, und
the same question was presented
here. The statute is regarded in ac
cordance witli the decision below as
requiring those engaged in inter
state commerce to give all persons
travelling in Louisiana upon the
public conveyances employed in their
business, equal rights and privileges
without distinction on account of
race or color, and it is said that
for this reason tlie court lias
nothing to do with it ns a regulation
of internal commerce, or as cfl’eeting
any tiling else than commerce among
the States ; and as to this tlie court
say there can be no doubt that ex
clusive power has been conferred
upon Congress. Tlie difficulty lias
never been os to tlie existence of this
power, but ns to wlmt is to lie deemed
an encroachment upon it, and it may
be safely snid that the State legisla
tion which seeks to impose a direct
burden upon inter-State commerce or
interfere directly with its freedom,
encroaches upon tlie exclusive
power of Congress. Tlie statute in
question occupies this position, it
does not act upon tlie business
through local instruments to lie em
ployed after the vehicle of convey
ance conies within the States hut di
rectly upon tlie business as it comes
into'the State from without, or goes
out from within, while it purports
only to control tlie collier when en
gaged within tlie State. It must
necessarily Influence ills conduct to
some extent in tlie management of
his business throughout his entire
voyage. Reversed.

Last Saturday night, or rather Sun
day morning, about a half hour after
midnight, the dread alarm rang out
upon tlie still hut hitter-cold air,
and soon it seemed the whole town
was awakened
Quicker than we
were licking up
contents of Messi
grocery store, on
lug over on to tl
occupied by H. ('. Goodrich, stove
and tinware merchant, next taking
the large drug store of Goodrich &
Street, und lastly the furniture store
of J. N. Custom The lofty east
parapet wall of the three story iron
front building (occupied by Messrs.
Bprris, groceryinen, and Richards &
Teedsale, hook and .stationer
chants, and up stairs by tlie “
newspaper and “Excelsior” job of-1
tlees, and by Dr. Reynolds, dentist,)
said to th<* devouring element: ;
“Thus far shnlt thou go and m>
further,” and there it stopped. It |
was enough. Emir two-story build
ings with most of their storks wore
entirely consumed, leaving nothing
scarcely save hare walls and their
“Sherman's sentinels."
Nance A Butler’s clothing store,
next door cost of Boyd & Halbert’s, for
a long time stood tlmei ntre ofanxious
interest, and there the main struggle
was made. If it went, the two stores
next, entirely of wood, would g<>,
und tliai would involve the entire
row to Blair & Osborne’s druggists)
corner, and then God knows where
it would have gone. But tlie fire
men were awake, and it is to their
efforts that is due the saving of not
only this building, but probably
dozens of others. The value of this
work will beuppecinted when we re
mark that the rafters wore uUready
burning before the hose were got into
position.
Mr. Boyd gives this as his surmise
of the cause of the fire: About 8
o'clock Saturday night, lie built a
good coul.fire in his store to draw up
some papers. He remembers when
cleaning out tlie grate, thut the fire
place beneath appeared to be very
much sunken, and his opinion now
is that some bricks had fallen out,
the live coals caught the box, and
from this brandy and other conibus-
tablea in th© collar wore fired, it
was the presence of these liquors that
caused the fiatues to spread so rapid
ly.
Messrs. Gunter and .Smith, clerks
for Messrs. Boyd A Halbert, were
compelled to jump from the upper
hack windows of tin* building to save
themselves. Iu doing so, we regret to
nuy, the former sprained an ankle,
the latter was serously injured in the
legs und chest, besides losing $‘*0 in
money and aii his clothing. Mr.
used l)r. Sehenck’s preparations with
the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each,
making it not absolutely necessary to
personally see Dr. Schenck unless* pa-
tiontH«wish their lungs examined, and
for this purpose he is profession all at
his principal office, Cornor Sixth and
Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every
Monday, where all lottors for advice
must be addressed.
Sehenck’s medicines are sold by all
druggists, jal oodlm
“tieruimi Syrup."
No other medicine in the world was
ever given such a tost of its curative
? ualltien as Boscheo's Borman Syrup.
n three years two million four huu
dred thousand small bottles of this
medicine were distributed free, of
charge by Druggists in this country to
those afflicted with Consumption, Asth
ma, Croup, severe Coughs, Pheumonia
and other diseases of the Throat and
Lungs, giving the American people un
deniable proof that German Syrup will
cure them. The rosult has boen that
