The Ohio State Journal of Columbus, of the I'd
inst, gives the annexed statement relative to the
decision Of the Supreme Court on the bank taxation
cases.
raj cases pending before them involving the validity OF
the taxation Of banks by the tax law of 1S5l2 The
cases had been argued ably and eaboratey, some time
since The decision against the banks, and in favor
OF the consttutionay OF the ne ia la in its sppca-
ton to them Our readers generally UNDER tand the
points involved The charters of the banks provide that
they shall set apart annually six cent of their profit
TO be paid into the State treasury and this shall be in
lieu Of taxation upon their capital. They claim that
their charters in mplation OF law contracts;
that by their acceptance of charters they accepted the
terms offered by the state and that the State cannot
without their consent during the existence of their char
ters change the manner OF taxation Such has been the
eonstrnc ion which has been given to charters by the
Supreme Court Of the United States and by perhaps all
the State courts Of the Union Such has been the doc
sion in Ohio.
But the Legislature has determined to tax them 10 a
different manner The banks have refused to submit
an have brought these questions before the Courts and
the has been made The Supreme Court said that
the charters Of banks not contracts and that
the United States Court and nil other Courts had been
mistaken In deciding them to be such Again the ground
was taken that tho Legislature had constitutional
power TO pass law that should grant the taxing
power in any The right OF taxation essential
the existence Of government II high, sacred,
that II could not be given traded away The bank law
like any other could be modified repealed at
the pleasure of any future legislature
The decision goes the entire sweep against the banks
and is the end of the case far
cerned We understand that tho will be taken to
the Supreme Court Of the United States.

Trade in dry goods is animated and vigorous. Though
purchasers refrain from entering too deeply into
tracts at current rates. they deal with sufficient free
dom to meet the calls of their customers who need
and consume more now than they have ever done,
as their uence has enlarged their necessities beyond
the limits Of former years. To satisfy these buyers
are making numerous, although light purchases,
which yield handsome aggregate Of transactions,
equaing, as they almost do, the receipt of goods,
and preventing any considerable accumulation of
stocks. Importers are not quite 80 busy as they
have been while the operations of jobbers continue
to expand, and now far surpass in amount those of
previous seasons The quantities Of goods retained
in first hands are not excessive, while those owned
by second class dealers and retailers are compare
lively moderate, and gradually decrease Prices
are generally well supported, especially on cotton
fabrics, which are the most extensively bought just
now. Woollens seem less favorably situated, they
are relatively far cheaper than the materials can
now be obtained manufactured, and offered for sale.
This condition Of affairs perplexes producers. who
anxious to raise their prices, but temporarily
obstructed from doing So by the existence Of tole-
raby large supply of goods in market and the strong
objections made by purchasers to the payment Of
higher rates at present These mpediments are
likely to prevail until such time as wooden goods
are again needed as much as they have been, which
will not occur much sooner than the period which
usually witnesses the revival of an autumna enquiry.
Brown shestings and shirtings are in very good de-
mand both for export and home use, and fetch full
