Walling against the State of Michigan the U.S. Supreme Court yes- terday held that a discriminating tax imposed by a state operating to the disadvantage of the products of other states, when Introduced into the first mentioned state, is, in effect, a regula tlon in restraint of commerce among the states, and as such is a usurpation of the power con- ferred by the constitution upon the Congress of the United States. ‘The judgment ofthe su preme court of Michigan is reversed.

Referring to Mr. Harri- son's allusion yesterday to Thomas H. Benton, Of Missourt, Br. Vest denied that there was any anal between the case of the admission of Missouri and this case presented for Dakota. Mr. Benton had discharged his duty as a Sena- tor, and Missouri took pride in his distin- guished public. services; bat Mr Vest did not agree with Mr. Benton, living, and did not agree with him dead. It would be peculiar, he said, if Utah should come here with @ consti- tution, “republican in form;” and thought Mr. Harrigon’s precedents might become interest- ing.

Mr. Harrison denied that there was anything exceptional in the course pursued by Dakota to obtain admission, It had never been said that the like course pursued by other territories had been diss tfal to Congress. The 263,000 American citizens in Dakota who had combined in a respectful peti- ton for admission to the Union were entitled to respectiul treatment here. There was nothing in thelr character or conduct to warrant the coupling of Dakota with Utah. Mr. Harrison brloly reviewed the case of Dakota, and urged that courtesy warranted the admission of Mr. ‘Moody to the floor. Mr. Saulsbury moved to amend Mr. Harri- son’s resolution by adding, “but the courtesy hereby extended shall not considered as in- dicating any recognition of the right of Dakota as a state into the Union.” Mr. Vest’ sald he had not been personal, ae Mr. Harrison’s remarks implied. Had ‘hs wished to be personal he could present columns of vit ration that would puttoshame the worst Billi ite—all of which had been pub- lished against him (Mr. Vest) in the news- papers of Dakota. After further debate, Mr. Saulsbury’s amend- ment was lost—yeas, 22; nays, 29. THE RESOLUTION AGEEED TO. ‘Tue resolution admitting Mr. Moody to the courtesy of the floor was then agreed to.

Messrs, Smith, Birney and Curtis, the com- mittee of the school board, that called upon the District Commissioners yesterday to talk with them about the recent letter of the Commis- sioners relating to the powers of the school board, continued in conterence with the Com- missioners for over two hours, The matters suggested in the Commissioners’ letter were discussed at considerable length. The Commis sioners declined to recede from their view of the law as expressed in the letter mentioned, and expressed a desive to have the trustees give them their hearty co-operation in improving ‘the school system. 2 CHAIRMAN SMITH'S ACCOUNT OF THE CON- FERENCE. Chairman Smith, of the school trustees’ com- mittee, said toa Stag reporter to-day that the Commissioners had practically informed them tnat their letter was their ullimatum, When the committee asked what the functions of the school board were, as the Commissioners under- stood It, the commitiee were injormed that the Commissioners desired the board. to continue as an advisory board, with power torecommend to the Commissioners action regarding school matters. The Commissioners claimed that the commissions of all employes of the schools ‘should proceed from them. “They informed the committee that they would draw up a set of rules and regulations which would define the powers they intend to delegate to the board, and after these have been prepared they would like a further conference with the trastees, ‘Mr, Smith says that he suggested to the Com- missioners thal if they objected to the person- nel of the board or believed its composition did not tend to harmony, that they should have asked the resignations of the trustees and not have uprooted the whole system, THEY Do NOT WANT TO ABOLISH THE SCHOOL BOARD. To this the Commissioners replied that they did not want to abolish the board or ask their resignations, “I shall report to the board,” said Mr. Smith, “that the Commissioners’ letter is their ult: matum, and there is nothing for_us to do until we get the rules which the Commissioners pro- pose to prepare. Meanwhile, I will move that the board adjourn.” Mr. Smith said the members of the commit tee maintained, and still maintain, that. the Commissioners are in error in their View of the law. WHAT COMMISSIONER WEBB SAYS, ASTAx reporter asked Commissioner Webb this morning whether there was anything to say as to the results of the conference between them and the committee of school trustees. The Commissioner answered, “No, nothing in particular, excepting that we bad a lengtty lalk over some differences about the manuge- ment of school matters, and have now a better Understanding allround. There is now no seri- ous difference; some things the trustees have done which the law does not give them power todo, and in which the Commissioners cannot concur. ‘These points grow out of the construc Uon of the law, and are likely to be reconciled, when all will goon us smoothly as ever, The Commissioners do not desire to do away” with the services of a board of trustees, as they want its ald iu the school work, and they think the school board now realize’ that what they want is for the best interests of the schools. The Commissioners will put their wishes in writing in.atew days. The powers that are given the school trustees by the law they will, of course, retain, and so of the Commissioners.’ ‘The: nounkind feelings between then sidered the objections made to the bill in the veto message of President Arthur, and tm clearly of the opinion that they are not well founded and should not interrupt the course of justice. The report is signed by all the democratic members of the comunittee.) ‘The District in Congress. BILL, FOR PURCHASE OF A SITE FOR THE CITY POST OFFICE.
