Nelerred tol te On Judiciary. Mr. Sherman, from the Finance Committee, tor bill amending the act trict Of Columbia, reported bill to amend the Usury Laws of the District of Columbia Mr. Pomeroy presented memorials from Coa- necticut and Udiv, all imtayor of female suil- rege Mr. Morton called up his bill to prevent the collection of an illegal tax on passengers. Mr. Morton first referred to the law of Mary- laud of 18% ~ & TAX Upon passengers between the cuie Baltimore and Washing- » aMoAnULE to one-fifth of the pascage money. In I-#, by am amendatory act, the company Was authorized to reduce ihe tare to Sl.ov per passeuger. Next he referred to the laws of New Jersey relative to Camden aad Amboy road, levying a State tax upon both Passengers and freight—for every passenger ten cents, and for every ton ot merchandize fifteen cents. His first proposition was \uat these laws of Maryland and New Jersey im effect a tax upon travel. It is a tax apoa the passenger, because in the nature of things the 1ax is added to tbe price of the passage. AL M. cited authorities in support of his prop. sition, includivg the decision of the Supreme Court recently delivered by Mr. Justice N denying the right of the Sc to levy a tax upoi panies for The case of Nevada was exact! that ot Maryland and New J Proposition was that these le and New Jersey were in dir the Constituticn of the United States, and therefore mull and void. The Coastitation gives us all x common country, and guarantees to every citizen ingress and egres: in every State, without lability totax. If New Jersey or Maryland havea right to levy a tax upon passengers tl tax of ten cents or chirty cents a head, they can levy atax of $1.00). If one State can levy such a tax. then every State can do it. For the last twenty-five or thirty years these two States have been getting the greater part of their living and almost supporting their State governments by levying a tax upon the traveling public. This is a heavy abnse. On another occasion the State of Mary- Jand attempted to tax the notesot the U.S. Bank circulated in that State,and the Supreme Court decided that this tax was unconstitu- Uonal, as it Maryland could do it. every other State could do it, and the notes of the U.S. bank would be mxed out of existence. Aga: Maryland attempied to exact a license on thi sale of ail imported goods, which the Sapreme Court aiso decided to be umconstitulioral, as Maryland could, vy the levying of the tax, stop Importauon ‘altogether, The 1th amendment is directly in point. 1: provides that no State shall make any law abridging the privileges and immunities of citizens of all the “States. One of these privileges 1s the right of free transit from point to another, and m9 Suate bas the power to restrict this transit. by the imposition of any tax whatsoever. This is potan open question; it 1s fuliy cov- ered by the decisions of the Supreme Courc and the question is, What is Congress to do? 1 hits been submitted to for a quarter of a cen- tury. Millions have been drawn trom the traveling public to pay the State expenses of New Jersey and Maryland. He proposed to at the vost of this evil, and make it a mis- demeanor to continue the payment of this u- leenl tax. He proposed togive the Supreme Court appellate jurisdiction, and the whole case couid be setiled ima bundred days. If Congress did not do sométhing this abuse would continue for another quarter of a cea- tury, sud the citizens of the whole coantry would continue to be taxed for the benefit of Maryland and New Jersey. The morning hour bere expired, and the un- fivished busineas, being the railroad bill of Mr. Sherman, was announced by the Caair as being before the, Senate. ia ir. Frelinghusen expressed a desire to repl, to Mr. Morton. =< ay Mr. Sherman ba: no objection to the railroad bill laying over mformaily, Mr. Grimes objected to this. and moved to Postpone the railroad bill. Mr. Suerman said if it was postponed now it would be fatal to the bill for this session. Mr. Anthony suggested that Mr. ng- buysen could make his remarks on the railroad bill justa» well as on the other. Mr. Frelipgbuyeen did not propose to discuss the railroad bill at all, but carefully to avoid it. He only desired to reply to the atta-k which hac teen made on the treasury of New Jersey. After come further i Dir. Freling- hvysen indicated that b ask the priv- ileze of replying to Mr. Morton im the mora- ing bour to-morrow. Mr. Grimes then withdrew his motion.
