pointment they were subject to account only in
that Court, and were entitled to its protection
and judgment in all matters growing out Of the
performance of their duties as such Receivers,
and therefore conld not be made liable either as
common carriers or warehousemen in this ac-
ton. But we think that the mere
fact that the defendants were acting as Receiv-
ers under the appointment of the Court Of
Chancery, cannot be recognized as defence to
q suit at law for a breach Of any obligation or
duty which was fairly and voluntarily assvmed
by them in matters Of business conducted or car
ried on BY them while scting as such receivers,
As between Receiver and the parties interest
ed in the trust, the Receiver would be respon-
slble for negligence (; but be might be liable to
ether parties in larger or ttricter degree Of
responsibility. The assumption by the defend
ants Of the particular duties and extraordinary
responsibilities arising from the relation Of com
mon carriers, is not to be construed as necessa
rilY, if at all incompatible with ,sny duty or
responsibility imposed upon them as receivers
The plaintiffs evidence tended to show that the
defendants were managing and controlling
long line Of railroad, and conducted and held
themselves out as common carriers over that
line If in fact they were common carriers over
that line of railroad, we think that is no de-
fence to an action al law for breach of duty
or obligation arising out of business entrusted
to them in that relation, that they were run
ming and managing the line of railroad as Re-
ceivers, under an appointment of the Court of
Chancery''
By what ingenious process of pettifogging
the Boston Court was hocussed into making
such decision as the one referred to it is i'm

to bear tax of three cents per day each
and thus the result is not changed. What
then is required of us to meet this great
debt, to escape which some are leaving the
country Simply this that, should our
children have the misfortune to belong, not
to the 4 1000, 900 Freedmen, as in my estimate
they pay nothing-not to the 100000 poor
whites, as in my estimate they also pay
nothing-not to the 5000, 900 whites as in
my estimate they pay three cents per day
each, but to the great middle class of d.
UOO,OOO, then each of us and of our children
are called upon to pay one and one half cents
per day for some fifteen years. That pays it
all. principal and interest.
With mechanics wages from So to 81 per
day, and laborers' wages from $3.50 to 50
per day, it is absurd to harp on these bur
dens. But how is this interest collected
From duties on imports which, in my hum
Die estimation, is the very best manner in
which 1t can be raised. Should | wish to
avoid the payment of any part of the princi-
pal or interest of this debt, | have simply TO
use no imported goods. Should | desire to
know what have paid towards it during the
past year, ascertain the duties on the i'm
ported goods have used, and that is the
amount. The full average share of each of
us is but one and one half cents per day
each, This we can increase or diminish as
we please BY our use of imported goods.
Now for the other burdens-the Ex-
penses of carrying on the Government.
1t is estimated that this will amount to
about lSO,OOO,OO0 per year. This inclrdes
ererything. Again, leaving out the 1000,
600 Freedmen, and the 5000, 900 poor
whites, and we have the great middle class
of 24,OOO,OO0 called upon for one and one
half cents per day each, and the 5,OOO,-
600 of wealthy whites for three cents per
day each, amounting mall, to over $780, |
OVO,OO per year. Do not blame the tear
for this; this Is not an extra. we should |
now be paying about this amount hab we |
had no war only it might have been paid
as duties on imports and not as Internal
Revenue. Again if wish, can avoid one
halt of this tax. How ? BY using no
whiskey, tobacco, and other worse than
useless luxuries, on which this tax is laid.
To conclude, if belong to tie middle class,
the 24,0OO,000, and use my average share
Of imported goods, luxuries, stimulants,
&C., l pay in all three cents per day; one
cent goes to interest, one-half cent to prin-
,ipal of the public debt. and one and one
half cents to expenses Of government" If
use twice my share of these things. of
course pay six cents pr day; if use no
imported goods and no stimulants &c, pay
,ut about three-fourths of cent per day
Internal Revenue. This small sum is all
