6 . THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE; SUNDAY, JULY 15,.’877-SIXTEEN PAGES. THE APPELLATE COURT. Judge Wallace Refuses an Appeal to * That Intangible Tribunal. But Also Holds that When It Is Run- uing, Money Will Have to Be Put Up Prior to Appcel. What the Tax-Fighters Are Thinking of es Their Next Move. Judge Wallace delivered the following de- cision yesterday morning on the question of the right of the tax-fighters to appeal from his de- cisions to the Appellate Court: THE RIGHT TO APPEAL. ‘There are two questions presented. The first question for the Court to dispose of will be the question 2s to the right of appeal to what is called the Appellate Court, created, as it is said, by the statute of Jane 2, 1977. I under- stand this to be a. norel question, and one which has not been very thoroushly presented to the Court, and the Court has not had the time to give it that extended examination that a. ques- tion of its novel character would seem to demand. But it seems to me that cer- ‘tain considerations ought to settle the question asto this right to appeal to this Court at the present time. I take it for granted that a court, when creatcd, is ready to perform all the functions that are required of it bylaw. Ido not understand that you can create a court or, for that matter, any other department of gov- ‘ernment, or agency of a department of govern- ment, by piecemneal. Let us take this considera- tion, for instance: if this Court is created, aud fs in the exercise of all its functions and all the effects of its organization it will have when in full force and effect, one of them is to destroy juriediction. Certain jurisdiction is taken from the Supreme Court and given to this Court. Now, wil we say that the Supreme Court cannot exercise that jurisdiction before the organization of this Court? Is there any such force and effect as to destroy that jurisdiction; to assume itat one and destroy it in the other Court? Now, I take it, the Lezislature did nut intend to take away this jurisdiction of the Supreme Court and leave it in abeyance, for that would be the nature of it, ith to appeals or the right of the party to have his writ of error to any of the inferior courts. Now, while it is true that there may be a distinction made between the right of appeal and the right to a writ of crror in this particular case, in the one case it is al-solutely necessary as a matter of iach that there should be a Judge, in order to give the writ of crror,—the Judge of the Appellate Court. As a matter ysical fact, there must be a Judge. There tbe a writ of error from that Court with- vuladudge authorized to exercise the powers of that Court. So that that is absolutely de- J if tite jurisdiction of the Supreme Court “by the ercation of this Court—tor © being. You cannot take away that ietion—the writ of error—by taking away appeal, unless it is so specified in the stat- ie acciient that takes one away, itsecms 1 ute, lo me, must take the ether. AN ANALOGOUS CASE is the organization of the Probate Court ot this county. The statute of the State directs the organization of a Probate Court. Cau it be suid tbat the jurisdiction of the County Court is divested between the taking effect of the statute and the organization of the Court? Supposing the organization of the Court or its creation does divest the County Court of juris- diction given to that Court, can it, be said that the County Court must stop doing probate a business? Now, _ there differ- ence in the languase of the law. . The Janguaze of the act creating the Probate Court says ‘‘ there may be”’—there hall be—“ established,” applying to the future, ‘by some authority or somebody. As I under- stand law, the Legislature is the authority that establishes'a court. There can be no other. So that it would make uo difference what linguaze the Legislature may use in authorizing the es- tabiishment of courts or in establishing them. In the act creating the Appellate Court they say “There are hereby created.” That lan- age is no stronger und nas no more compre- hensive effect than the lauguage, “There shail be established.” Nor bas it any more effect than the Constitution when it save that the judicial authority or power, except as in this article is otherwise provided, shall be vested in one Supreme Court and re Cireuit Courts, etc. That is the 2u- thority for creating the Supreme Court and the . Circuit Courts. 80 that it don’t niake any dif- ference 36 to what languace the Legislature may use. They, and ticy alone, are the au- thority that is authorized to establish courts other than those that are cstublisned by the Constitution itself. This Court has no vitality; has no tangbility. You caunot £0 to its ofli Yon cannot find one of its officers. It is fuat- ing about inthe air. And, while ft is true that on this subject a very plausible argumeut could be made that the thing itself cx- ists, and that it has vitality, and that. it can tako but cannot give—as a matter of fact— but that can take—there could be, | say, a very plausible argument, but J do think that you cannot make a Court that can take until it can give; that is, it must exercise all its functions at the same time. There jis no. clerk, no officers. no Judge no nothing at all; it is impossible for counsel or ther clicuts to find them. anywhere. The only boundaries there are to it are that it must be held in the City of Chicago; or, whenever it is anchored and becomes tangible, then it may be cumewhere within the mits of the yo~anywhere that the Judges may sce to hire a room. But it — does sevin to me, from this course of reasoning, that it would be an absurdity for an established court to grant an appeal to something that can- not be found, “uon constat,” it may pever be organized. So L take it that the appeal to that Court caunot be granted by this Court at the present time. DEPOSITING TUS CASH. The argument af tu the other question I don’t know that it is necessary forthe Court to dispose of particularly, out it strikes me in this , that you must give he statute all of its force and be done; not only force and — effect to all the language, but you must give all the force and effect, if it can be done; give it ag near as you can. w, Ict us sec. First, this law estal- Ushed that uniess there is repuemance, unless two statutes cannot stand together, the general statute must repeal the special statute, or a eneral statute must repeal 2 particular statute. do not azree with Mr, Wilson when he says that the lancuage of Sec. 192 was amended; ‘that the part that says: “But no appeal shall fit be allowed from any judement for the sale. of ands -or lots for taxes, ete,” — is confined to that par- ticular statute. Because, as has been very clearly shown here, and not. denied. the Court is authorized. to consider all these statutes to- gether as one stature. And if it is subject to construction as a proviso, it may be treated by the Court as a proviso to all the statutes upon the subject, and if that be truc, then it has all the force and effect, as well as the comprehen- sion, that is claimed for it by the counsel of the State. The fact that the Legislature have omitted to put the proposed Appellate Courts in this statute, it seems to me, cuts uo particu- lar figure. Because the language of the statute is “sufficiently broad to cover Every .case,—it being conceded, as I understood in the arguments of counsel, that the matter of judg- mentto beentered by the Supreme Court or any court of appeals from the County Court in cases of applications for judgment for the sale of Jands for taxes, was a matter of practice, and that the Practice ‘act would cure any difficulty there is in that part of tha section. “I was not dispused to think, before the argument, that this was a matter of practice. The ordinary judgment in an appellate court is either vou- firmance or reversal, or even au order to the Court below of modification, 2 direction to the Court below to enter such and such orders, or to try over again, and soon. But it seemed to be conceied by counsel that it came under the head of prac- tice. and might be required even by courts themselves. The Supreme Court might say in '@ tx case that they would enter such a judg- ment for taxes, or rather a judgment for the sale of Jands, such as the lower Court could euter.. Hf that be truc, then the Practice act would cure the difficulty, as argued by Mr. Adains. But! do not think it is necessary for us to insist that it isa help to construction to conser the difticulty that follows, because We are not tu be governed entirely by conse-, quemes. Jt was properly cited asa matter of- help to” construction, but as an absu- Jute bar to any particular construction I do not deem it suficicnt. use the Appellate Court could not enter that judyinent, J would not deem that sufficient reason for me to deny an uppeal to the Appellate Court on that account. If grant such an appeal, I think Iam Lound to do it and Icave the difliculty with the Appellate Court or the upper Court tu dispose of. So that, in cither view of the cise, it seems to me that the deposit must be made. ce ‘Aull the contestauts, of course, took. ex- the statute authorizes me tu” the house. “don't strike a streak of luc ceptions to this ruling and will fight it out on this line as long as there isa ghost of a chance for them to avoid paying taxes.

This is not an unusual thing for a husband to do during these days of pull- backs, tie-backs, get-backs,. back-ups and long trails, but still the: policeman made @ rush for As he reached the steps the wife had just finished washing her bloody nose, and she greeted him with the cheerful query: “Hello! Did you hear of the racket?” “J heard that you were being murdered,” he replied. “Oh! pshaw! It was merely a tively little set-to between the old man and myself, We have lots of *em. Idon’t always come out sce- ond best, as I did this time, but it’s all right.

Then they took the bucket tothe light to investigate the miat- ter. When the Judge saw what.it was, he Bai “I might have known that. Just like you women, to go searching and fussing about nothing.

Ulysses Grant was the guest of Victoria of England this week at Windsor Castle, and was given rooms next adjoining the Royal slecping apattments. The Queen was much surprised at hearing him ring the bell violently at about 1 o'clock in the morning, and still further startled when the Royal housemaid woke her up and asked her forthe keys of the cellar. The General sent his compliments, and couldn’t slcep without a good, stiff toddy. anid if they had any miut he would be glad of it. To show what. a perfect lady the Queen is, she got right up and put on her slippers and a wrapper, and went down into the kitchen herself, where she mixed the ex- President a bowl of old Jamaica punch from some splendid rum that had just been sent to the Prince of Wales. With a delicate apprecia- tion of the General’s habits, she also placed a pack of cards on the tray, and apologized ina encil note for their being a Intle dirty. Gen. irant says of all the kind compliments which he has receivea in England this touched him most deeply in the right spot.

SHAKSPEARE AND QUEEN LIB. . There is a tradition (says an English news- paper) that Shakspeare played the part of a King with a peculiar grace and majesty. One day when the Queen was in the theatre, Shak- speare mimicked royalty so well that Elizabeth, who was always ready to have alittle mu, whis- pered to her ladies that she would try. if she could not turn this pretended mouarch into an awkward fellow enough at a moment's warnins. ‘Accordingly, at a critical point in the scene, the Queen (who was sittin: just over the stage, which was then held to be the place .of honor) let ber handkerchief drop at the fect of -Shak- speare. Her mischievous Majesty expected to see the actor start and redden and lose his cue. Instead of that he finished his speech with all his usual power, and without sceming to notice the handkerchicl, Then, stooping and. picking it up, he gave it back to the Queen with a, bow, in which there was an indescribable. mixture. of dignity’ and homage, saying as he did so these words to his train of stage courtiers: Bat ere we get to horse and ride away, Let us pick up our sister's handkerchict. a !

Outside of } York the losses at Philadetphia, Chicago, Cincinnatl, and Milwaukee fall slightly below the guins of the other cities, and the aggregate is $1u0, 08, 806. against £159, - 407 for the same week last year. but this small gain is lees than the usual decline at San Francisco, of which the report should arrive next week. The gain at New York is lirver than difference In stock fransactions can explain, and other statistics prove that this city has seenred a convideraple share, especially in the grain business, of the trade lost by Philndelphia. ‘There Is, therefore, evidence of some improvement in (he amount of transactions arising from legitimate business, but the compari- gon is with & time of marked depression last_year. The following are detailed re New York. Boston .... Philadetptila. Chicago... Cincina’ Baltimore. Bt Louis. New Orleans... Loulevilte..

Chicago and Milwaukee may be expected to return larger transactions a3 soon as the movement of the new crop bezins. But for the great shrinkage of the grain movement, com- pared with last year, Philadelphia would be the anly city considerably in arrears, and ite transac- tions last eummer were unnaturally large, both be- cause of the Centenniul and because of the remark- able diversion of the grain trac to that city during the railway war. On the whole, the reports for the week are not unfavorable, buf ‘one swallow dovs not make a aummer,s’ and there is much rea- fon to expect unumal duilnces in business aatil the fall trade begins, GOLD AND GREENBACKS.

The wheat etill in-reserve in, however, firther diminished bythe rather free Joadings of Saturday. An English etatietician writes, underdate of June 29, that at that date there was of wheat available by or before the first week in August, 1,840,000 quartera in farmers’ hands, 1,907,500 quarters in atore, and 817,000 quarters in transit, Total, 4, 500 quarters, which woul: last for consnmp- tion til Spt. 24. Of the above quantity in tran- sit, no less than 63, 485 quarters are on.the way from British India, and will arrive within thirty days. “The lowest throngh rate to Liverpool I ever made, was made just now,” eald a prominent oper- ator on Saturday, but he would not name the fig- nres. However, the statement shows that rates are at a minimum—at least for maximum distances, St. Louis received over 90,000 bu wheat Satar- aay, and Cincinnati 33.000 ba. New York operators have been nniformly bears on one of the shortest wheat crops in our history. ‘The question is, Will they now be bulls on one of the largest crops the United States has ever pro- duced? * . ‘The great question now is, Can’ winter wheat be used to filt contracts for regniar No. 2 wheat, July delivery? The rales’ are under- stood to provide substantially for this very thing, bat it is whispered. round that at least one party ‘‘hign up” has declared that he will not be bound by the rules. There are several hundred thousand bu of wheat for July yet unde- livered, and scarcely any wheat here to fill with, while there is ample time to bring hither winter wheat from St. Lonis and other points, if that will fii] the bill. It is understood that must of the July trades now outstanding were made in the neighborhood of $1.50, and itis to the interest of the longs that this wheat should not be delivered, because they could not expect to realize anything like the price they would have to pay for it. Owning all the cnsh wheat now here, they conld easily-prevent such deliveries during this month, and thus avoid a loss which is estimated at not far from $150,000. If, however, they can be forced to take winter wheat on Chose contracts they could not avoid consido-able loss. Commission merchants say that, according to their advices from the barley sectione of Iowa, the crop generally isin a promising condition. Scott County, famous for fine barley, bids fair to pro- duce a good crop. Of course the barley in the field Is just now in that staze where a rain storm might do irreparable injury, and im fact a good crop cannot be counted on until the grain is har- vested and properly secured. ‘The leading produce markets were moderately active Satarday, and irregularly steady, at an ensier range of prices, Breadstuifs were slightly depressed by continued fine weather, and the fact of large reccipts here cr elsewhere, though the British markets were stronger. There was a fair shipping movement, and rumors of freight engage- ments for large quantities of lard and meate, Jobbers of dry goods had nothing new to report. "There fs a steady hand-to-mouth demand for staple and seasonable goods, and the market maintains a firm and healthy tone. Groceries were reasonably active and unchanged. - Sugars were in brisk de- mand, and were strong. Coffges, rice, teas, and most other linea were also held at {ull pric in the butter market there was considerable activity, and previous quotations were sustained with firm- ness. Cheese was unchanged, being quoted steady at 7@8%c for good to best fall cream. No new ‘featnres were developed im the dried fruit, canned -goode, and fisn markets. There was an active call for grain-bags, and the market waa strong st Friday's advance: Stark at 23%c, Mon- taup at 2213c, Lewiston at 21s, and American at 19c, Leather was dull, as previously quoted. Oite, painte,and cotors were quict and unchanged. There wasalight demand for coal and wood at previous quotations, « The wholesalo.lumver market was active Satur- day to the extent of the offerings,:and picce stuff was firmer. The yard buziness appcars to be im- proving slowly, and the market is gaining in etrength, the disposition to shade quoted prices not being so frequent as ithas been. The pros- pect ofa good fall tra¢e, the short supply on the “Miesiasippi, and the moderate receipte cause the better feeling in the trade. There were no iinpor- tant changes in wool, hides, or broom-corn, all of which may be quoted firm, under moderate offer- ings, with a comparatively good inquiry. Sceda were, dull, and some varieties were easy under fair ‘offerings. Uny was in moderate request, and steady.’ The receipts continue light,-but amplo. Poultry was in fair request, and steady, except the small stock. . Potatoes were dull. Lake freights were moderately active, and firm at2e forcorn to Buffalo.
