Tho Albany papers are discussing tho
right of the Governor of New York to
imprison man named Edymoin, who
was recently pardoned out of the State
Prison, by means of forged papers. AS
the pardon was unconditional, it is con-
tended that no right exists to again thrust
him into prison, which has been done,
and the record of his pardon has been
changed by the Secretary of State.

Bank Taxation Gases Decided.

Yesterday the Supreme Court Of Ohio deci-
ded the several cases pending before them, in
volving the validity of the taxation Of our banks
by the tax law of l85l-9. The cases had been
argued, ably and elabOrately, some time since.
The decision was against the banks, and in fa
vor of the constitutionslity of the new tax law
in its application to them Our readers gene
rally understand the points involved. The
charters Of the banks provide that they shall
set apart, annually, six per cent. of their profit,
to be paid into the State treasury, and this shall
tbe in lieu Of taxation upon their capital. They
claim that their charters are in contemplation
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 construction 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 decision in
Ohio.
But the Legislature has determined 10 tax
them in different manner. The banks have
refused to submit, and have brought these ques-
tons before the Court, and the decision has
been made. The Supreme Court said that the
charters Of our banks were mol contracts, and
that the United States Court, and all other
Courts, had been mistaken in deciding them to
be SUCH Again, the ground was taken that
the Legislature had no constitutional power to
pass any law that should grant away the tax
ing power in any case. The right of taxation
was essential to the existence of government
1t was so high, so sacred, that it could not be
given or traded away. The bank law was like
any other one it could be modified or repeal
ed at the pleasure of any future Legislature.
The decision goes the entire sweep against
the banks, and is the end of the case, SO far as
our courts are concerned We understand that
the cases will be taken to the Supreme Court
of the United States. When that decision is
known, we shall see what we shall see. The
end of the matter is not yet II our courts are
sustained, then several millions Of money will
be quietly but Immediately withdrawn from the
State. We shall have more to say about this
subject hereafter

IRON Turnpike.

The Cincinnatians seem resolved to have "a
new thing under the sun" Their iron gutter
plates work so we'll that they are about to be
used to pave turnpike. The NOnpareil states
that a company is now being organized to pave
the turnpike from the head of Western Avenue
at Brighton, to Cumminsville, Spring Grove,
and Carthage with iron plates similar to the
iron gutter plates used in the city. The sides
of the road will be filed in with dirt, and Or
namented with shade trees. The iron pike can
not fail to be splendid and durable one.

charter in the State may be repealed To what
unknown troubles this would lead. All the
railroads Of he State might be rendered worth
less in an hour by a few demagogucs. The
charter Of every church in the State could be
repealed in a moment, and every one who had
subscribed dollar to its erection, might file
his petition for partition. We cannot come 10
any other conclusion about this matter. than
that the opinion Of the Court is wrong; and
that the issue submitted to the people by the
resolution, will be decided against the advO-
Gates of repeal. We cannot but believe that
our supreme authority was influenced by the
'6end,' and obeyed its behests against the coun-
sells Of conscience

Carroll free press. [volume] (Carrollton [Ohio]) 1834-1861, 1853-03-11

We embrace the first opportunity to lay be-
fore our readers the inaugural address of Pres
ident Pierce. We are not disappointed in il.
We supposed ii would be smooth, artful pro-
ductiOn. In literary point Of view, it does
credit to the head that dictated it, Its rhetoric
is good, but the logic is miserable, and the pol
icy worse. 1t contains all the radicalisms Of
the party, and gives ample scope for the exer-
else of almost any kind of power. 1t favOrs the
acquisition of Cuba, as clearly as words can
convey the idea. 1t gives him the greatest lat
itude to "bustle in" II does not present the
clear view of policy, as set forth in the inaugu-
raj of Gen. Taylor, although he evidently fol-
lowed that as his pattern, and even went so far
as to quote some of its passages almost verbatim.
On the subject of slavery, it is more clear
and explicit than upon any other. He comes
out flat-footed. What do Free Sellers, who
voted for him, think of his position? He goes
the whole length Of the most rabid 6re-eater Of
SOnth Carolina. Poor down-trodden Africa has
but little to hope for from him. We expect to
refer to this document hereafter.

UnDaTaIeIIed Dcpra witty.

We are informed by two officers of justice
that band of 15 young men and boys in Per
rysvle, formed themselves into society for
the purpose of robbery. A captain was cho-
sen and a regular constitution and bylaws, the
violation of which was death, were adopted.
One of the band stole from his own father $1O,-
90 which he had collected for a poor widow
who had a son belonging to the band. Learn
ing that the money belonged to her, the band
stole $40, 900 from another woman to replace
it. The cash drawer Of landlord in Perrys-
vile was opened by two Of the band and ten
do lar bill taken from it. The one who chang
ed the bill to divide with his comrade, charged
premium for making change. This being q
violation of the bylaws, the rest Of the banG,
unknown to him, held a meeting and determin-
ed that he should die, 1t was arranged that
all were to go out upon the ice lin which hole
was to be previously cut, to skate, and that all
should appear struck at some curiosity in the
water and all look in, and when this one should
stoop down over the hole one of the compa-
nv should strike him with a club and pitch him
in. One young man whose heart was not SC

R. CRosIER, Eso,
Dear Sir In your paper dated March The 4th'
1853, see the following pregnant paragraph
"Ey,- The penalty for attempting to solemnlEe
marriages without authority, is five hundred
dollars" -,
Will YOU do me, Zone of your patrons the
favor to state, in your next issue, what was the
motive. or inducement, just now, for calling
publc attention to this provision ofthe act OF the
General Assembly of Ohio, for 1924.
NA'' ]. PEARCE.
We cheerfully comply with the foregoing re-
quest.
Having heard it intimated that marriages had
been solemnized, in this county, by person
unauthorized, for our own qualification, We ex-
amined the statute in such case made and pro-
yided,' to ascertain the law on the subject On
discovering that the penalty is SO severe, We
thought that such paragraph as we published
would induce persons interested to look well to
their credentials and see that they are all right
We certainly did not intend thereby to call pub
lie attention to any particular case nor had we
any desire to induce any one, who might con-
slider himself or herself aggrieyed, to institute an
investig alton.
