Tho Cotton Tax Before the Supreme Court

The Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel
says.
"Elon the Geographic dispatches as to
the decision OF the Supreme Court in the
case Of Harrington vs.. Sanford, involving
the eons,i,utionali,y Of the cotton tax
law, the opinion seems to have exten-
sively obtained that the Court decided in
favor of its constitu,ional,ty. Such Is
not the case. The Court was equally
divided on the question, and, Therefore,
really made no decision. That division,
By operation of law, left the decision Of
the Court below to stand. In word, it
vas a drawn battle, and the door OF
redress by Congress is left open to the
Southern cotton taxpayers, and We hope
they will promptly send forward their
claims to Herschel V. johnson & Go.
There is every reason to hope for justice
NJ the hands Of Congress"
