COOPER, designed specially for popular circula-

ue Of the Cooper romauces become mora widely
recognzedi he is now accepted as the great

Their entire expenditures since June 1870.
when the Association was organized, have
amounted TO $62 60 cents; out OF which sum
the amount OF $55 was paid fer an accurate
plat CT the Cemetery and a record OF tie
names, com peaies, aud regiments Of the Sol
Giers inferred therein they deemed it essen
tia! to procure this plat and register at once.
before the lapse CT time should obiterate all
memorials Of the locality.
They next propose 60 expend small sum IN
the endeavor TO get the Cemetery properly gra-
ded and covered with green sward. The
bulk OF the money they have on hand they in
tend to keep as interest, until by this means,
and by further contributions, they shall have
. accumulated sufficient sum to mark appro-
priatey and permanently the graves of our
dead. They hope that enough will soon be
gathered for this purpose and they also aim
at a small surplus Jiind which they propose to
invest permanently, 81 that from Its annually
acer ning interest the Association-may be ena-
bed TO keep the grounds in becoming order

keep it in good condition.
They tbuk that one Thousand Dollars. 10

to do all the necessary work, and will furnish
besides the desired surplus fund.
They Ietura thanks to all who have hereto

hope that they will continue their exertions UNI
til the object we have in view is accom- plished:
They are happy to learn that the ladies and

Gently united to give entertainments for the

Important Decision of Court of Appeals
On Friday last, the Court of Appeals sitting
in Richmond, rendered their decision upon the
question of the obligation of the tax-collectors
eft the State to receive in payment Of taxes the
coupons issued under the funding bill'' pass
cd by the Legislature March 30th, 1872. The
Court decided that the State is bound to re-
ceive these coupons in payment of taxes, and
that the act passed March 7th, 1872, repeating
that feature of the funding bill making cou-
pons receivable for taxes, is Unconstitutional
as it impairs the obligation of the contract be
tween the State and such Of her creditors
bondhoders-as have accepted and complied
with the terms Of the act passed March 30th,
1871. The decision of the Court is, that the
funding bill is constitutional, that the pro-
vision making coupons receivable for taxes, is
q valid Legislative contract founded On sufficient
consideration-thatt the act repeating that pro-
vision impairs the obligation of the contract
and Is therefore unconstitutional, hence null
and void.
The decision of the Court was delivered by
Judge Bouldin, and Judges Christian and An
derson concurred in it. Judge Moncure did
not sit in this case because be held some Viz
GINA bonds, but stated that, as the case was
decided without his vote, he would state that
he conourred in the decision rendered.
Judge Staples did not concur and delivered
an able dissenting opinion. He maintained
that the funding bill is unconstitutional, bat if
constitutional the Legislature could repeal it,
and that the act of March 7th, 1872, repeating
the provision making coupons receivable for
taxes, being constitutional, the repeal is valid,
and hence held that coupons are net receivable
for taxes.
