CHICAGO, August l0.-Judge Blodgett, OF
the United States Circuit Court, in case
of consolidation of thirteen national banks
against the city collector, decided that the
shares of national banks can not be assessed
at a higher valuation than the par value
thereof That tax is in the nature OF q
ROYALTY upon the UNCONVENTIONAL value of
each share respectively. If a share could be
assessed at any other value that would
invole entertainment of the actual property
of the bank and deduction therefrom of SO
much thereof as is invested IN United States
bonds. The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided, it can not be done, for
the reason that the tax upon share was
intended to be upon the new use to which
the capitalist puts his bonds by embarking
them in a national bank.
1t is considered, therefore, in this light
that tax could be levied only upon the
nominal value of each share, whether the
share was actually more or less than par
The court also held the State law of 1867
providing for the taxation of bank shares
to be wholly void, because in contravention
of the State constitution, in that it provides
for taxing shareholders in the taxing dis
trict where the bank is located instead of
in the district of the shareholders resi-
dence. The taxing power can only be ex-
ercised upon persons or property within the
jurisdiction. The stock can not be taxed
on account of its locality, and any tax i'm
posed upon it must of necessity be confined
TO the person of the owner so far as the
law of June, 1867, direct the. assessment
of shares owned by residents of the city,
who reside outside the county, city or
town or district where the bank is located
is in conflict with the constitutional provi-
sions and therefore void. Being void and
inactive to this extent, it is also as to the
owners of shares who reside in the same
place where the bank is; also who reside in
the same place where the bank is located,
because the rule of uniformity would be
violated in taxing them and no others
There being, then, no valid law in force in
this State by which shares of stock in ma
tional banks belonging to residents of the
State can be taxed, the shares owned by
non-residents can not be taxed, because
such regulation would be in conflict with
the provisions of the federal constitution,
providing that citizens of each State shall
be entitled to all the privileges and immui-
ties Of citizens of the several States.

The City Hall.

1t was reported yesterday that Mayor
cursion to Point Clear.
City Surveyor Bell informs US that good
progress is being made toward draining the
rear of the city. An additional water
wheel has been placed at London avenue
for draining the Third District, and an
other at Dublin avenue for draining the
Sixth District and Carrollton.
The Surveyor speaks encouragingly with
regard TO the future draining of that por-
ton of land within the city limits lying be-
tween the Metairie ridge and the lake shore.
This undrained district embraces an area
of about twenty-six thousand acres. The
whole of this vast body of land is as high
as the improved portion of the city this
side of the ridge, and with the improve
ments projected, will become available for
building purposes; SO that in few years
the entire space between the ridge and the
lake can be covered with habitations, and
the city extended to Lake Pontchartrain.
The plan is to throw up a levee thirty feet
wide, four miles along the lake front, thus
avoiding the labor, expense and delay Of
keeping up eleven miles of protection levees,
as is necessary under the present system of
leveeing each side of the New canal, Bayou
st. John, etc.
Already between the ridge and the lake,
in the intervening impossible swamp, sew
eral large canals have been opened forthe
purpose of bringing out RATS of timber, and
these could be made available by the city
for draining into the lake. We shall have
more to say ON this subject hereafter.

BALLS AMP BATs.-The young men who
delight to toss and strike found fun Sun
day. in almost every portion of our city.
The Lone Stars dimmed the effulgence of
the Crescents, the former shooting red hot
asterisks into the nine of the moon, in the
park. Both clubs made few mistakes,
the Stars shining up twenty-six runs to
only seven by the Crescents. Oby, left
field, had made five runs when he began to
get his legs in trim, while Hennessy, Redon
and Tracy were not far behind.
Washingtons went over to Biloxi to
gather in the lively Palmettoes, which they
did not accomplish without arriving at a
free perspiration.
Nationals and Baltics.-The third and
ending game gave the Nationals victory,
which the Battles think they can erase in
due time.
A score or more of less noted mines played
until all were dissatisfied at the result; the
losers thinking they failed to play as well
as usual, and the winners grumbling be-
cause they did not do still better.
Hopes and Atnas.-The Hopes scored
two and the Etnas one, which did not ex-
cite the tallyman.
