tFrom the National Intelligencer. July 2e
A practice has for many years prevailed in many
Of the States Of !evying taxes on the property Of
the general government, used In its ordinary
functions aud operations, su,h as navy yards,
arsenals, SO.
This practice having been attempted recently
by certain tax collectors of the State Of Pcnnsy-
yania, and demands having been made on the
officers in command Of the several military estab-
lshments in that State, the officers were directed
to refuse payment and TO enjoin the process inst
delivere by Judge Grier, in the Circuit Court Of
the Eastern District Of Pennsy sylvania, upon this
point, having reached our hands, we are induced
by its great interest to almost all the branches of
the government, making it important that it should
be generally known, to place II before our readers
OPINION OF JUDGE GRiER ON THE RIGHT or THE STATE
TO TAX UNITED STATES PROPERTY.

respondent collector Of taxes in Cumberland
county, who has seized upon the property Of the
government and her officers, intending to sell it. for
the purpose OF leying certain taxes assessed against
'tbe United States garrison" or barracks, near the
town Of Carlisle.
A the parties prefer that the complainants
should have their remedy, (if entitled TO any) in
this form OF action, rather than by action Of tres
pass question has been made to its proprioty.
There are no fa.ts in dispute in the case, and it
has therefore beensubmtted on the bill and answer.
The respondent presented the following assessment

and this house has been built, and is to be

or had gone to the dogs long ago.
Leonardp The friend could not
help laughing aloud. Go to the dogs
Oh no.. There is not man in his trade
that does SO gooda business, as little show
rs he makes. Good work, good prices,
and punctuality, are the cardinal virtues,
and make all substantial, How in the
world could you take up such a notion? 2
Il do not know, but such has been my
impression for long time replied Ba-
ker, who felt exceedingly cut down, on
account of the mistake he had made, and
particularly so in view of the elegant
house and seventy thousand dollars which
might all have belonged to his son in
time, if he had not fallen into such an egre-
gious error about old Leonard.
So the world moves on. People are
prone to think that what they smile on,
lives, and what they frown on, is blighted
and must die. -.
