sUPRExE COURT DECISION.
The Supreme Court to-day has decided the
case of the State of Maryland against the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. The
State claimed deferred payment Of five hun
dred thousand dollars as due for the period
between 1860 and 1870, being one fifth Of the
passenger fare over the Washington and
Baltimore branch of the road. The company
refuse to pay the amount to the State on the
plea that the tax was unconstitutional. This
the Court Of Appeals Of Maryland overruled,
affirming the right of the State to the money
in question.
The Supreme Court holds that the passen-
ger tax was different from the tax on intel
State commerce, which the State could not
impose. The State had right to impose
conditions in the granting of charter of the
road, and it matters not what became of the
money. The proportionate amount, or one
fifth OF the passenger fare, was bonus to the
State. 1t was condition imposed in consid-
Grafton for the franchise-this the State had a
right to do.
The court, in view of the facts presented,
could not regard the stipulation between the
parties as unconstitutional. The decision of
the Court of Appeals was affirmed. Justice
Miller dissented from the opinion Of the court
regarding the tax imposed by the State OF
MARYLAND unconstitutional.

The question presented was whether metro

crate and carefully prepared opinion, deciding
that under the law the city is compelled to
receive police warrants in satisfaction for
license dues. This is important to our bust
ness men, and the fact should be noted.
