WASHINGTON, April 13.-The Chief
Justice delivered his first opinion on the
bench of the Supreme Court to-day in a
case from Illinois, touching the right Of
State to tax Nonresident national bank
share b old ers at the residence Of the bank.
The members Of the bar who heard it
and his brethren on the bench spoke of it
in eulogistic terms Reveriy johnson is
omplmentary in his remarks, both as to
the merits Of the opinion and the manner
Of its delivery. The court to-day decided
the case Of Tappan, Collector of Taxes in
Chicago, against the Merchants National
Bank, Chicago, from the Circuit Court of
Illinois, presenting tue question whethe'
the L legislature IF Illinois could in 1857
provide for the taxation Of owners of
shares of capital stock of national bank
in that State at the place within the State
where the bank was located, without re
gard to their laces of residence. The
court below decided that the tax could
not be thus laid, and the decree Wac
against the collector. The decree is here
reversed, the court holding that shares of
stock in national banks are personal prop
erty under the national banking act.
"They are a species Of personal property
says the court, which is in one sense IL
tangible ana incorporeel;. but the Law
which creates them may separate. them
from the person Of the owner for The pur
pose Of taxation" gaa 3aaaa "a qgr
The House did a just thing to-day in
passing postal bill. providing for the
free exchange-of ne wspapers within the
mails and for the free circuatio OF pa
pers within the counties of their publica-
ton. a These are both matters of public
interest, and tend to the education and
enlightenment of the people, and are as
much entitled to the consideration of
Congress as free schools and colleges. The
bin was passed by d vote of Iii yeas to
al nays, showing an almost unanimous
feeling in the House IN favor of, the bill J

SUMMERS SUCCESSOR. The Legislature
Of MASSACHUSETTS, has been trying for
about two weeks to elect senator to sue
coed the late Senator Sumner in the Sen
ate Of tue. United States. AS We write
they have had tWenty-eight ballots and
apparently are no nearer success than at
the beginning p Dawes and Hoar started
with nearly all the Republican vote
Dawes leading and Curtis receives the
full Democratic vote. It is quite appar-
ent that neither Dawes nor Hoar can re
ceive the full Republican vote and very
doubtful whether either can receive
votes 2ough to elect. Both are falling
off and Adams and Wasbburn are coming
up. 1t is useless to speculate as to the
result It is to be hoped some one will
be elected able to fiji the office.

There is much sympathy expressed in
our State for the sufferers Of the hop

No part Of the country, however. has
been exempt from disasters of some
kind, and I am inclined to think that
your people are enough better off than
the people of some other sections who
have been visited by foods, hail, con-

neither property nor life. \ Your
