BASIS OF BANK TAxATIoN.-In the case of
the people, at the suggestion Of the Gallatin
National Bank, against the commissioners
Of taxes, the General Term Of the Supreme
Court on Wednesday decided (Judgc Brady
giving the opinion) that the Gallatin Banks
shares Of stock We're properly assessed at
their actual, and not their par value. The
provision that the tax so assessed shall not
be assessed on a valuation exceeding the
par value (this provision is in the enabling
act Of Congress Of March 8, 1869, the Court
holds, does not affect this question. The
impoSt may be upon q sum exceeding
the par value when that sum repre-
SCENTS the actual value Of the shares.
A case in 23 Wallace is cited as set
Ting the precise question. The only restric-
ton is that the share shall not be taxed at
greater rate than is imposed upon other mo-
neyed capital in the hands OF individuals OF
this State. This limitation is not affected
by the fact that part of the capital stock Of
the bank is invested in bonds OF the United
States, or by the fact that the bank is
obliged by law to accumulatea reserve. The
respondents, in determining the tax to he
imposed, adopted a standard Of value found
ed upon the banks statement, and deducted
from such value the proportionate share Of
the assessed value Of the banks real estate.
The reserve, which is part OF the capital
OF the bank, and the surplus as well, were
appropriately included in the estimate of
value. Both contribute to the value of the
shares, and are necessarily therefore consti-
tucnt elements OF such value. The commits
sioners are therefore held to have acted pro-
perlv, and the writ OF certiordri is dismissed
with costs.-Ne,o York Tribune.

the Cabinet had ordered the occupation
OF Constantinople by the British forces, 80
TINT there would be no conference, but Inn
mediate war.
This ruInor probably was the foundation
of the following statement which the FL
aancief. makes editorially to-day:
s3a.sss We. can state, not officially but very
confidently, the course the sBritsh Cabinet
have resolved upon II RHssia inFades Tur-
key. In such q. lease a British army corps
win immed iately occupy CoHstantinopie and
defend it against all attacks. It Is calcu-
lated that not more than q, 600 troops are
needed, and British engineer officers are
already making survey for q, thorough de-
fence OF the Turkish capital. 81
fN0TE.-The latter statement probably
grows out Of Reuter- telegram from Con-
stantinople on the 18th instant, stating that
several officers OF the corps OIL royal engi-
neers had arrived at Constantsnople.
The FfnGncier adds !: g England's object
is not to participate i'm q war between Tur-
key and Russia, who may fight ont their
quarrel, whether in Asia or Europe, but to
protect Constantinople and the Dardanelles
from seizure by Russia. :" +

.:...4 ~ Washington.

Yesterday was day Of ANXIOUS waiting.
The announcement about O'Clock that the
Supreme Court Of South Carolina had rem
:dered preliminary decision, and held that
the Canvassing Board could only perform
the ministerial duty of adding up the re-
turns forwarded to the Secretary Of State
by the county managers, was received with
great satisfaction. Our Columbia, CORE
spondenfs special telegram was posted upon
our bulletin-board, and it was not long be-
fore what was believed to be very good news
was spread over the entire city. s~.g 8 I.
Governor Randolph and Hon.. Mont
gomery Blair left Columbia on Thursday
night for the North; the latter passed
through the city last evening, but the form
er stopped over, and is at Rev. DR.. Hoge's,
where he will possibly remain to-day, re-
Stunning his trip northward tonight. He
spoke hopefully OF the result in the Palmetto
State, and said that the Democratic mem.
bers Of the Conference Committee had been
treated with courtesy while in the South.
He left Columbia before the Supreme Court
had rendered its decision, but the news
reached him some time before his arrival in
Richmond that the Judges had decided one
point at least in favor of the REALTORS. He
was also in receipt of other kilograms bear
ing upon the situation, but most of them
were Of a private character. He had no
late intelligence from Florida, but knew
nothing to alter his conviction that the State
had gone Democratic. ,..... ~
Our latest advices from Columbia were re.
ceiyed at midnight, and up to that time the
vote in only five. counties had been can.
vassed-viz., Abbeville, Aiken, Anderson,
Barnwcll, and Beuufort-all Democratic
counties except Beaufort, which gives {
Republican maj ority OF about five Thousand
three hundred. In this county four hun
dred Republican votes will be thrown out
on account Of Irregularities; The telegram
will be found very interesting. 1t will pro-
badly be several days before the result is
ascertained.
The official returns from Florida do moi
change the figures already published. ga. :.
In Louisiana the Returning Board meets
to-day, and the dispatches this morning
indicate that the Democrats will make very
vigorous fight for their cause. Il g"
Judging from our dispatches from Wash
ington, the Republicans there have vel
nigh "given up the ship" The Cabinet
seems to be uneasy, and the Radicals are
beginning to realize that their time for leay'
ing has nearly come. We refer our readers
to the news in detail. - H..
