| tiycs here by the tavern-kceper, and the draft
| was traced to Baltimore 10y Detective Nc
| Dewitt.

The Supreme Court heard to-day the case
of the State of South Carolina er re OF WaS'
ner Is. Weosmer, Of Charleston county. The
question was, whether a tax-officer- was
bound to accept the bills Of the Bank OF
South Carolina in payment of taxes, the alle-
CATION being that its charter made its bills re-
ceivable for all public dues. The county
| treasurer answers that the bills were issued
in 1861, and in aid of the REBELLION, and there
fore are not legal tenders and further, that
the charter under which the bills were ten
dered had been repealed. The lirst question
wasfound by the jury in favor of the bank,
but the court held that the clause requiring
the State to receive the bills in payment OF
taxes was subsequently repealed. This rul
ing was sustained here and the judgment Is
affirmed.
