TAX PAYERS BEGINNIxG TO LOOK AFTER THEIR
MoxEY.-At a meeting Of the Tax payers Of
Union township, held AZ the Rock Spring School
house, January 81, 1860, the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Special School Tax now in
the hands of the County Treasurer for collection,
from the tax payers of Union township, was un-
fairly and Illegally levied and that We are deter
mined to resist the collection of the same to the
end Of the law. a
s E. JAMES, Chairman.
E. WooDwARD, Secretary
1t Is to be hoped that the County Treasurer
and County Judge win be disposed to do what is
right and proper in the premises, without COM
polling the people of Union to resort to legal
means to resist an illegal or unjust tax, and will
promptly refund what may have been already
collected We hear it whispered about that the
amount Of taxes collected this year for county
purposes ismuch larger than last year.

LIABILirY OF INDOasKRs.-Judge Huntington.
Of the U. 8. District Court ofIndiana, has recently
rendered an important decision in the case of the
Sun Mutual Insurance Company vs.. Thomas ].
Sample. Z. B. Smith, President of the Cincin-
natl and Chicago Railroad Company. drew pro-
missory note Of e72l payable to his own order.
which he Endorsed to Sample, who Endorsed Il to
the plaintiffs. The latter brought suit against
the second indorser, who pleaded that the note
was drawn, Endorsed, and transferred to nav
debt of the Cincinnati, Chicago and Loganspors
Railroad Company, then due the plaintiffs; that
the drawer did not owe the last named Railroad
Company, and that 1t was Endorsed without con-
sideration and for the accommodation of the
drawer, all of which facts were known to the
plaintiffs at the time they became the indorsers.
10 this plea the plaintiffs demurred, and the
Court sustained the demurrer, holding the ouiu-
ion that, although the original drawer acted
without authority, and the contract was void M
between him and the payee, yet that an indorser
was holden, and the contract was good a. he
tween him and the indorsec. This is very i'm.
