concurrent opinion in the case Of Edw'd
u. TacOti r. The Township nr Pine
Grove. The main principle settled in
thS decision is that the United States
Court Will respect and follow the dcCis.
ions and rulings Ui the State courts under
the State constitution. The Judges hold
that all the bonds issued prior to the de
ciSon Of the Supreme Court of this State
in the case OF the township Of Satmare
were valid and the contract involved in
their issue legal and binding. In addition
TO this decision this morning Judge
EmmOnS went into learned and ClabO
rate argument upon the nature OF railroad
corporations dcducing thcrcfrOm the
assertion that these corporations are pub.
lie and not private institutions, and that
the raising of money by taxes for
the purpose Of aiding such enterprises was
not inhibited by any provision Of the State
constitution, but was constitutional and
valid. The dcmurrers in both cases were
therefore OvCrrued and the decision Of
the State supreme Court rendered praCti.
cally OF no effect, sO far rs regards the
bonds issued before it was pronounced. II
was held that rs regards contracts made
