census has been taken the present season OF

Seybert in his valuable statistics recommends
that not only the number and ages Of the inhabi-

Ohio VS.. Branch Bank- notwithstanding the
inhibition Of the 9. Court Of the u. s. the auditor
of accounts of the state Of Ohio has proceeded TO
| levy the $4,000 tax on the Branch Bank Of the
| U. S. at ChIcothe, agreeably to an act Of tie
state laying a tax on banks. $4,000 in specie
| and $50 900 IN bills wereremoved from the vault
| by the officer, and when he found he had taken
more than sufficient to satisfy his claim he made
tender of the overplus, which the officers of the
bank refused to receive. Considerable litigation
will probably grow out Of this difficulty, which
involves the constitut ional question, whether a
state can tax corporation receiving its powers
from the U. S.
