Assessors everywhere nro odoubtless stilla acting

scssins oitizons for property whose actual
situs is not within tho taxing district.
This decision reaches long why. 1t makes
1t impossible for any stnto to tax, constltu-
ionally, debts owed it's ciuzons by those Of
another State. This Is 80, not only becauso
tho so-callcd property thus taxed is outside
tho Jurisdiction Of the power loyying the tax,
but because such taxes aro hindranccs to in
tcr.Stato commerce, wlicl, call be regulatetl
only by Congress. Tho certificates Of indcbt-
cdncss-bonds, mortgages, notes, md other
written promises to return borrowed capital
to the owner-may bo within tho state, but
they ase not in themselves ''proporty." Thoy
merely promise to return property, or its
value in money, on future day. Taxing
them is therefore extra-territorial, hence
unconstitutional. Such certificates, whom
exchanged between citizons Of different
States, facilitate intor-Stato commerce. Tho
Unitod States Supreme Court has decided
(A1uY cs. State of California, that a State
cannot tar bill Of hiding given for goods
transported to another State, because this
would hinder Interstate commerce.. Taxes
which hinder such commerce, hon, arc un-
constitutional. but taxes on debts owed by
citizens Of another stato hinder this com.

THE LEGISLATIVE FAILURE,


Tie Legislature Of Illinois has now been in
session moro tAan six weeks, aud has cccon,-
plis!od nothing. The people aud tho press
Of this State having already pronounced it to
be rnortiiying failure, now comes the Legia-
1ature Itself, and, in tho caucus Of tho pseudo
Reform members Of tho House, virtually &C.
knowledges the fact by public declaration
OF its want Of lender md its inability tQ
agroc upon any programme sufficiently prac-
tical to iusuro the passage Of the legislation
needed for the State. The Speaker Of the
House having failed as loador Of tho mon
gvel Opposition, he being too much occupied
in extricating himself from the parliamentary
pitfalls into which ho Is continually
stumbling, to manage tho transaction
OF business, tho Opposition is seeking high
aud low for aono ono to ill Ills place. Afean-
while tho rank and flo hayo arrived at tho
very sensible conclusion that they hayo uotl-
Ing to do but pass tho Appropriation bills

State will heartily Bay amen.
