Of the course he has seen proper TO pur>

ty Auditors, relative 10 the assessment Of

The ground assumed by these worthless

he has been guilty Of an assumption Of
power in nsiructing county Auditors

ton Of Indebtedness from moneys and

way of thinking, the Auditor has done
nothing more than his plain duty in this
respect. TheSupreme Court--the high
est judicial tribunal known TO tho Stale

liluionul aad certainly, any laws, or
pats Of laws conflicting with that dec!s-
ion, are no longer in force; they are null

property for taxation, as prescribed by
the Auditors instructions, appears un>
just and unfair; but the tax>payers should
remember that those sections, declared
unconstitutional, worked unequaly-lbat
