He sard that while Rhode Island end Sooth Carolioa stood outaide of the onion they were trotted ss foreign states, snd when they ultimately assented to the union congress passed s Isw extending the revenue lews to them In the osee of Louisiana, the attorney gsneral pointed out that all ths declarations of Jsffersou Were to the effect that in order to come under the operation of the lawe of the United 8tstes these laws most be explicitly extended to new acquisi? tions. Jefferson seleoted certsio sets to be immediately extended snd oth? ers to be exteoded from time to time as might be fonod practicable. The attorney general directed at tention, in the instance of the aeqnieitioo of Florida, to the fact that three American ststeemen?Monroe, John Qninoy Adsms and Andrew Jackson?each of whom waa elected president of the United States, uni ted in declaring officially that the oooatitutioo did not apply of its own force to territory newly acquired by this nation, by virtue of the set of sequisition. bot tbst such extension must be accomplished by tbs sotioo of eoogreee Mr Griggs also spsoified the terri? torial organisation of Oregon, Mia eonri, Montaus and Wyoming, in eaoh osse showing tbst oongress specifically extended the laws to there territories Finally ae to the sxtension of lews to the territories, Mr Griggs ssid tbst by sot of congress in 1874, con gress bsd expressly extended the constitution snd fsdersl lsws to the "organised territories" sod to every territory hereafter organised " But the sot wsnt nofsrtber than "organ ised territories" and coold not be interpreted to mean that expanse of country entirely unorganized The Guano Islands were cited in support of the proposition that terri? tory may belong to or be under the jurisdiction of the United States Over 70 different islands, keys aud groupa of islands have thus been tsken possession of and made for such specisl purposes the property of the United States They enjoy certain privileges under the law and the United States eupreme court reoog nizod their status, but they are not a part of the United States Justices Brewer and Harlan linked a number of questions. Justice Brewer asked if the attorney general held that as congress extended the constitution and laws to the organized territories, congress also could take Ibern away from the territories Mr. Griggs answered that this was a most serious question but he thought it stfo to say* that when tin laws were once extended t?> territo ries sn inviolable contract was crested and could not be broken Jn?tiee Harlao anted the attorney geoeral to state later on to ?h?? extern oongrea* notild imon*** a tariff to be oolleoted egaine* good* eoming from New Mciieo, Ariiina end Alaska Joetiee Brewer also reminded Mr Qrigga that Oklahoma wan not included to the treaty taking in th< Lu'ftiana and Mexieen territory, and was an ? ppe?-ent exoentioo to tho rnlo utated by the attorney general. Mr Ortggs said that rorr?reM at i<s leal eeasios. in rffeo', declared that tSn existing tariff lew* were applioible agaifst the ..".od* of Puerto Rioo Thin Wie in the sot of lost Mareb, remitting to Puerto It and Fear not?Let all the Enda thou i ER.

WEDNESI Rioo oerteio duties collected "uoder existing law.'1 This, Mr Griggs deolared, was an assertion by both branches of the preseot congress that the tariff aot ?hieb aas the "existing law" operated against Puerto Rioo. Justioe White asked the attorney gsoeral if he claimed that congress could ao exempt territories from the Isws as to give them privileges not enjoyed by the States. Mr Griggs respooded that he did so olaim. thst in fact the territoriec had been'for years exompted from internal roveooe sod direot taxes The attorney general referred to the oelebrated ease of Liugbborough ?. Blake, whereupoo Justice Harlao, reading from that decision, asked Mr Griggs sod Chief Justice Marsball meant in sayiog : "The power to Isy and eolleot duties, imposts sod excises stay bs exercised, sod most be exer? cised, 'throughout the United Ststes * " Mr Griggs caid that "throughout the Uaited States'1 referred to the States of the union, but Justioe Harlao pointed out that it referred also to the District of Colombia and the territory west of the Missouri. Mr Griggs closed bis fire hour spsesb with a brilliant and eloquent perora? tion Ioatead of seekiog strict snd narrow sSnstrootioo, be oooeluded, the powers of the exeeotive and legislative branoh es bsd bseo so ooostrued as to give them a wise sod esfe discretion, so thst ths day would be battened when we might giro to these oew peoples sslf govsroment snd to some of (hem per hsps a plsee io the galaxy of Ststes.

Much revenue will be re quired for tbe support of tbe police aod army of .occupation, and still more will be needed for tbe civil government and schemes of internal improvement Upon tbe whole the Britiab taxpayer mast be tbankfal if he gets back aa muoh aa $165,000, 000 of bia war expenditure, and may make op his mind to bear tbe loss of the remaining $435,000,000 He will bave to extract aoob comfort aa be csn from tbe fact that the war haa brought tbe colonies closer in feeling to tbe mother country, haa revealed tbe defects of tbe ormy, developed a willingness to psy for its enlarge ment aud improvement and greatly strengthened the imperial idea 1 These things may be worth some thiog But uot a few Britishers will think the consolidation dearly bought at a cost of $435,000,000 and thou I sands of lives A Horror and a Lynching.

The insurgent leaders will be notified thst I snob practices, if continued, will put -an end to tbe possibility of their re? suming normal civic relations and will make them fugitive criminals Residents of places occupied by Americans will be notified that com? pliance with tbe demands of the enemy will create a presumption that such acts are voluntary and malicious They will also be notified that pleas of intimidation will rarely be accept snd tbst where seoret committees are permitted to exist in oebalf of the in? surgents even well disposed persons will be exposed to the danger of be* ing tried as traitors The proolsmation will say thst its wsruitigs and requirements are to ap ply with special force to Manila, the "rendezvous of tbe emissaries of in? surrection " Newspapers will be warned against publishing sedition and the proolsma tion will deolare that the rebels, who are not part of an organised force, sre not entitled to tbe privileges of prisoners of wsf, adding that tbe fsot thst they have not hitherto been held responiiible is "evidence of the solici? tude of the United States to avoid tbe appearance of harshness " The proclamation will clearly dis? avow any recognition of techniosl belligerency Tbe Taft commission is still at work od the tariff Others here con? sider tbat the return of the volunteers will necessitate little abandonment of statioon and that Congress will pro vide an immediate inoreaee in tbe number of regul?re It is believed that miny volunteers will reenlist here il bonuses are offered, the amount to be equivalent to the ex? pense of equipping and bringing out s recruit.
