An rmportant Rank Decision

The case of W. W. Berry, President, and
the directors Of the Third National bank
Of this city against the Mayor and City
Council. Was disposed OF yesterday in the
Chaucery Court by Special Chancellor
McHcnTy. The main point in the case was
whether the ci5y had the right TO Tax the
capital stock Of the bank al its actual mar
ket value. The bank fled bill some time
since, in which it prayed for an injunction
restraining tine city from taxing the stock at
more than lis par value, and the Special
Chancellor yesterday dissolved the lnjunc-
ton.
While the capital stock of this bank is
placed at 100000, its real value in the
market is $40, GOO, and the city is there
fore deeply interested in carrying its point.
The Supreme Court will doubtless nave TO
pass upon the case before the question in
vOlved is settled.
W. +. Cooper represented the bank, and
MCPhail Smith the city.
Should the final decision be i'm favor Of
The city, all other companies whose stock
is worth more than It's par value will have
10 pay 5aaes in proportion, the result Of
which would be a very material increase of
municipal revenue.

John HEREFORD for Mayor.

In selecting a suitable candidate for
Mayor, the taxpayers ot Nashville will eX-
pect the convention to nominate such a
man as the people have confidence in, and
who is well posted in the affairs of the cor
poraiiOn; aud if Dir. John Heniford will
Permit his name 10 % before that body, we
think he will receive the nomination. He
is one of our oldest citizens, well yerScd in
the workings Of the corporation, man of
sterling integrity, and would make just
such a mayor as the city needs in the pres
ent crisis. His prudence as regards finan-
cial matters, Lis industry and executive
ability, render him eminently qualified to
fiji any poSiiiOn the citizens OF Nashville
may confer upon him.
