The jury and the court official* been menaced. There is general ex| tion that nu outrage will be committed either before or after the trial of Vaillant. In conclusion the opinion shows how these lawn Kraut special privileges which aro unlawful. Indeed, nearly all the pro visions of the nets are invalid. New legislation on the same, subject is scarcely possible now, and racing at Gloucester, Guttenburg and Clifton is probably over fur ever. Trkntos, X. J., Jan. 8.—Justice I.ippiucott of the supreme court has filed hi? opinion in the case brought against tli« city of Klizabcth nnd the New Jersey Jockey club to test the soundness of the race track laws passed Inst winter and he decides that they are unconstitutional. Justices Depne and Abbett concur in the opiuion and it will not be necessary tot the legislature to take the trouble to repeal the acts. The court holds that the laws are special, regulating the internal affairs of the towns and counties and also granting to corporations, associations or individuals exclusive priviI iges, immunities or franchises and are therefore unconstitutional and void. Referring to the statute empowering governing bodies of municipalities to license race courses the court says: "This act undoubtedly Confers powtr upoii the municipalities named in the first and fourth sections, in a direction in which it has not been heretofore exercised. It may be that primarily, racing Within the state is not a question which concerns the internnl affairs of towns or counties, but it cannot be well contended that a statute which confers power upon these municipalities to restrict limit or extend racing is a statute which does not demonstrably affect the internal affairs of such municipalities within the meaulng of the express inhibition of tho constitution forbidding the enactment of a certain character of statutes regulating such affairs. The statute on its face and by itfe express conditions renders racing of certaiu character unlawful, unless the powers of these municipalities are exercised to permit it.. The third section of tho act expressly declares that racing of the character mentioned in the act shall be unlawful, unless it be legalized by a license which can only be granted by t he governing IkkIj- having charge of the affairs of such municipalities, and certainly the statute ill this respect is dealing with a question of municipal government, and whether it be one of police, revenue, or some other power of municipal government, is quite immaterial. "Municipal government is a creation of statute, and the powers of municipal government may extend to almost every feature of regulation not inhibited by tlic constitution within the area over which it extends. It becomes a matter of the internal regulation of the affairs of th< municipality by force of vhe statute, ami it cannot be claimed, so far as the statute is concerned, to be a question any  of state policy, but a matter relating tc the Internal affairs of the municipality tc which it applies. It becomes the power o) the municipality. If the general subject matter, as contained in this statute, be one over which the legislature lias powei and jurisdiction, then it cannot be con tended, when Its power is conferred upon any municipality,laside from the question whether the statute be invalid or not, that such matter does not become au internal affair of such municipality. It may be superfluous to pursue this subject further, but on decided authority there can exist no question but that this statute is one regulating the internal affaire of towns and counties."

Homer Lotighlin, one of the largest pottery manufacturers here, made a proposition to his men last week to resume operations if he be allowed to retain 50 per cent- of their wages pending the settlement, of the tariff question.

WASHINGTON, .Jan. 8.—The urgent and pressing need of congr essional action to Strengthen the treasury bulance was the subj ecfc of au earnest consultation at th» white house hetwecu the president, Sec retary Corlisle and Assistant ,Secretarj Cuxti*. As a result of the consultation Secretary Carlisle went to the capitol, where he submitted to mem Iters of thf senate finance committee and of the houss committee on ways and menus n carefully prepared statement, showing the absolute necessity far prompt action by congress to maintain the credit of the government. NEW iYokk, Jan. 8.—The Herald'* Buenos Ajrres, Argentina, special says: Some curious actions are reported on the part of Peixoto's officers. Some of them are certainly aiding the rebels actively or shutting their eyes most conveniently. For instance, there is said to exist on Knchadas island, in the bay, where the Geneva cross flies over the hospital to prevent Peixoto's gunners tiring on it, a workshop where repairs to gun* and other work for the rebel ships are executed. Moreover, it is asserted that the workmen employed there return from their work to the shore daily without Hindrance. It is even said that De Gam a and other rebel officials have come ashore at night on several occasions without being interfered with. These reports einauate from a naval officer who was wounded during the fight for Governor's island. He told them to surgeons attached to the foreign ships here who attended him. It is reported that last week plans had been laid to capture Admiral Saldanlia, but they were revealed to him by a friend who was an officer of tho national guard. The officer was shot by order of Gen. Telles when his act was discovered. Considerable gratification is displayed in Rio by Americans who disliked Opt. Picking at the prospect that he will be no longer in charge of the squadron here when Rear Admiral Benham arrives. Prcjudiec Against American Sailors. Copyright, 181)4, by the United Press. Moxtkvidko, Jan. 8.- The United Press correspondent in Rio de Janeiro has sent this dispatch under the date of Jan. "J: Public opinion compelled Admiral da Uiimtt, commander of tho insurgent licet in Rio harbor, to issue the manifesto distributed on S.it urday. The manifesto denied in t hese words the correctness of the inferences drawn from (Jama's monarchist manifesto of a mouth ago: " The documents attributed to mo were falsified in the printed copies. With the victory of the revolution will (some the establishment of a civil republican k»v-ernment."Au unsigned manifesto, denouncing the employment of North American mercenaries on hoard the government cruiser Nietheroy, has) been distributed. The sentiment againstrtdring North Americans to serve on Brazilian vessels is very strong, even among friends of the government, and to this sentiment is due much of t he the trouble with the Nictheroy's crew. The recent dismissal of several North Americans is probably due to the popular prejudice excited against them. Tho 'longshoremen left the barges used iu coaling the Nietheroy and joind the insurgents. The foremen who are resjHUisible for these deserters, however, will lie obliged to bring them back or suffer the penatyof imprisonment. The Nietheroy is still at Pernambuco. The inquiries of the British captain in the harbor hero have elicited from the British government only the declaration that there is to be no change and none would be possible. An American naval surgeon who visited tfye insurgent hospital at Eucliadas island lenrned that one to five deacl bodies were brought in daily from the insurgent forte at Ylllegagnou and Cobras. Surgeon Senior, of the British warship Sirins, after securing the approval of Capt. William A. Lang, the senior British officer of the fleet, has taken his Instruments and some supplies to Kuchadas and is attending the wounded. (Inns, ammnnintion and torpedoes are said to be stored in the machine shop .'which extends under the hospital flag.
