Unfair Discrimillation. In another column we publish an elaborate article beaded “Class Legis lation,” by P. A. Emanuel, Esq., which relates to an ordinance of Coun cil imposing a tax of upon drum mers who sell to other Until dealers. Mr. Emanuel states the case fairly when he styles it “clasu let) inlay on," And l)e justifies his position by legal authorities of unimpeachable charac ter. The whole thing is simply an unutterable absurdity that could not stand one moment’s legal investiga tion, and the Council hud better re peal the ordinance before they involve the tax payers of the town in an ex pensive and fruitless law suit, which tlvey will surely have unless they re code from their untenable position. “Michigan’s Dens of Vice ” The article published on our first page taken from the New York Herald, discloses a horrible state of aflairs in the lumber and mining re gions of the State of Michigan. It .appears that poor innocent girls arc decoyed from their homes under the pretext of holiest employment; hut. when they arrive at tiie lumber camps they are doomed to the horrors of a living death too dreadful and unclean .f>r description. These outrages call for instant and condign punishment of the utmost severity. Hanging i.» to> good for the murderers of the souls and bodies of theso poor unfor tunate girls. The Recorder is uo free trader and 'never expects to be. It is content to plant itself upon the good old Demo cratic doctrine of “a tariff for revenue only.” Thus far. will we go and no further. "Wo want genuine tariff re form by a lessening of the import du ties on the necessaries of life, let th<- fihoe pinch where it may. A duty lej'ied simply for the purpose of pro tection, when our treasury is full to repletion, is nothing legs than legaliz ed robbery. The advocates of absolute free trade are necessarily the advocates ofdireet taxation to meet the expenses of the Federal Government. Abolish the custom houses and the Federal tax- gatherer will call for annual collec tion* before which municipal and state taxation will sink into insignifi cance. When that day arrives tin free traders will have to llee to the mountains to hide from the wrath of the indignant tax-payers. men, traders. No doubt of that. But a towji cannot pass an oidinancc for House had resolved to devote any par ticular time to the consideration of Senate bills, so that there should he a decent interchange of courtesy in the matter. Senator Dawes suggested that it was out of order to discuss modes of busi ness in the other house. Thereupon tiie Senator from Kansas hoped that the Senator Irom Massachusetts would possess his soul in patience. The idea that there was some divinity hedging about the House of Repre sentatives. so that nobody could men tion it without getting on his knees, was a superstition that ought to be abandoned.

The present ordinance, as it is quoted at tin* beginning of this sub ject, proposes to ilo just that thing. It is legislation for the benefit of the trailer* of the town id Allan to the in jury of the other citizens of the town of Aiken. It says to the vendor, trader or sales man of chickens, beef, poultry, gro ceries, dry goods—indeed, of every class of merchandise—that they can come to cense of twenty-five ilollars. It says to the private citizen that he or she must now buy from the dealer in t he town of Aiken, and not from the v a70:1. l is or herp >ultry and meat, for the license whicn the Inlendant is able to put upon the trader disables him from selling as cheap as the “dealer.” It says to hoariling liouss keeper: You must buy your groceries from the “dealer” in the town of Aiken, because the Augusta or Charleston salesman must pay a tax ot twenty- live dollars for selling to you, but not to me, for I am a “dealer.” This ordinance tells the farmer out- side 4>f town, who wishes to market his produce here, tiiat he can sell to a dealer in the town hut m^t to the citi zens, who are not traders without paying such a lax that will compel the citizens to buy from the dealer to the exclusion of the iarmer. This is emnhaiically crass i.kcis- ators raised constitutional questions. Mr. Edmunds asked if the people of those counties could not buy seed on credit, just as farmers of oilier States did. Senator Hoar asked the Texas Senator to state the constitutional ground on which lie supported the hill, and the latter rasied a laugh by saying “Not al this time.” Mr Hoar said he bad hoped that if the Senate voted to furnish seed to Texas, Texas would furnish constitutmnal law to the Senate. Still he would vote for gird for the history of Texas—that great empire State, <dd and rich. He characterized the bill as “passing around the hat,” and said if Ids little State of Connecticut caire here beg ging for $10,000 for garden seed and g it, it, he would resign. Mr. Coke repudiated the idea 4if this bill being a ease of “passing tiie hat.” Texas w as not asking for charity. It was merely in line with bills in former Congresses tVir relief of people in Ohio, Kansas, Alabama, and other Stales. Senator Ingalls aiimitted that there were many preeeilents for the appropriation, and said it Texas could allord to take the money ho could afiord t4> vote for it. After Mr. Sauis- bury, of Delaware, also admitted tiiat there were plenty of precedents for it. but added that he never had voted for such bills and (so help him God) he never would, the seed for Texas car ried the Senate by two to one.

Atr'.nta, Ga., February 1.—Great interest lias been taken by tin Knights ef Labor and the public gen* eraliv in two suits for wages brought by Mi-s Lesa Muller ami her sister, I etui, against Max ivalz, one of the heaviest dry goods dealers iu the State. Some time ago Katz withdrew from the house in which lie was a partner, and established business for himself. In order to cripple his old partner he oflered superior induce ments to the saleswomen ami others to go with him. Of the number were the misses Muller, two pretty blondes A'ter keeping them for months he discharged them because of dullness in trade. They claimed to have had a twelve months’ contract, and sued for tin* wages accordingly. As there are l,0i)0 white girls in Atlanta working in similar places the suits attract at tention.
