'.WAsHIxGrOS, D. O., Nov. 3.-Thc
United States Supreme Court to-day
decided, in the case Of the State of
South Carolina, &c rel. Wagner a
gaiust Stoll, County Treasurer, from
the Supreme Court Of the State, in
volving the question of the validity
of the Bank of the State during the
war. The charter of the bank, framed
IN 1911, provided that its Issues should
be receivable for taxes, but the Coun-
ty Treasurer now refused to receive
them on the ground that they were
issued in aid of the rebellion, and
were, therefore, no tender. The court
below sustained the objection, and the
Judgment was for the Treasurer. On
a former argument Of the case In this
court that Judgment was affirmed, but
upon a re-argument had at this term
there is a change of opinion and the
Judgment Is now reversed, the same
Judge writing the opinion, the court
holding that as the faith of the State
was pledged for these bills, the hold
ers were entitled to rely upon the cred
it and to it's protection. The credit
of the State could not be withdrawn
without an open and clear declaration
to that effect, and such a declaration
was not made until 1868, by the repeal
of the charter, which was too late to
render the bills no tender in the pres
ent case. One other case was decided
by the decision in this. Justice Hunt
delivered the opinion Justice Bradley
dissented.
The facts given in this dispatch are
too meagre to enable us to determine
whether or not this South Carolina
case will settle the questions involved
in the cases which have been brought
to test the validity of the "new issue
of the Bank of Tennessee. When the
full text of the decision is received
We shall learn whether the tender of
payment for taxes out of which this
litigation arose, was prior or subse-
quent to the ratification of the four
teenth amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, July 81 1868.
We shall also probably be enabled to
determine whether or not there has
been that action by any Constitution
al Convention or State Legislatures
as amounts to such ''an open and clear
declaration" of the withdrawal of the
credit of the State as to render our
''mew issue" valueless in the hands of
the present holders. We may add
that the holders Of the ''new issue"
were quite jubilant yesterday over the
decision in the South Carolina case,
contending that the notes of the Bank
Of South Carolina, issued during the
war, occupied precisely the same stat
US as the new issue" of the bank of

Health of Jackson.

1t is said that figures do not lie,
and we are pleased to present the
following rs illustrative Of the
health of Jackson. In the year
1872 the death roll, foOts up rs fol-
lows: Whites, 81; Black, e..
In 1878, up to date, the inter
ments are, Whites, 80; Blacks, II;
and of this number seven were
brought from other places. At
the same ratio, this indicates de-
crease Of mortality, since Jackson
is rapidly increasing in population,
and the number of deaths should,
according to nature, increase.

cation, and in the office, together
with the goodwill thereof, to

ask that the same favors which
have been so literally extended to

cessors. We can say without hes
itation that the firm of Wisdom K
Co. have, by this purchase, in con-
nection with the Wing dad Irj6-
iu,e Office, secured for themselves
by far the most'completc Job Office
ever established in Jackson. The
type aad material Is new, and a
large assortment of the most fash
ionable styles; the presses ranging
in size from the large steam press
down to the eigth medium Job
press, ami all of the most appr owed
patterns.
The publication OF the CLUB
Room, in all probability, will be
continued, and under the new man
agement will be very materially
improved in its editorial depart
ments. 1t certainly offers one of
the best advertising mediums in
West Tennessee, three thousand
copies of each issue being disrib-
uted among tho best farmers of the
district.
In closing out the office and bus
mess it is quite oppOrtuno that we
should extend our heartfelt thanks
to the kind friends whose patron
age has sustained US in the past,
and while 1t IS possible that we may
labor in other fields more profta-
bly, than here, certainly We cannot

mcnt than has been almost univer-
sally accorded by the business
men of Jackson.
Bespeaking for the firm of b. NJ.

of their extended facilities, and
wishing to them and to their pa
irons most abundant success in
their every undertaking, we here
