The Ohio Republicans in the resolu
ton of their State Convention have un-
dertaken to praise the conservative
men" of the "South for opposing the reyo-
lutionary method on the part of the
Northern Democrats, as shown, first,
in their refusal to oppose the consum-
nation of the Electoral count, and
more lately, in the expression of sen
% timent in Misrepresentation" of the inves-
tigation of the Presidential frauds. The
Northern Radicals are wasting their
palaver Hardly fourth of the South
ern members voted to continue the count
after the s by commission violated its
faith and trampled upon the law, and if
there were any who originally opposed
the investigation, their votes on the reso-
luton ordering it, viii show that they
have abandoned their opposition and
have fully endorsed its justice and PRO-
priety.

among themselves to see that the count
in the Presidential election went on not
withstanding the positive violation of
the law by the Electoral Commission.
If this statement be true, and it is verified
by the records, they pledged themselves
to trife away a victory which was won by
their constituents after very hard strug.
gle and a great sacrifice of time and la

The Property of Corporations LA
able 10 Taxation According 10
its Value.

This question has been judicially de,
ternined by the tribunal of last resort,
the Supreme Court Of our State. In
1872 the Legislature passed Fan act to
encourage the introduction of machin-
g cry and the establishment of factories
{" in the State, and for this purpose it
practically exempted the property OF
manufacturing corporations, exceeding
ten thousand dollars in value. The
Mississippi Mills at Wesson were built
before the passage of this law, and a sub
sequent act conferred upon the company
the benefits Of its provisions. On the 1st
of February, 1877, an act amendatory OF
the original law Of April, 1872, was
passed, declaring that the latter act
should be so construed as "not to ex-
empt from taxation any property of any
manufacturing company other than the
paid in capital stock Of said companies,
| their machinery fer manufacturing pur-
poses, their manufactured goods, the
buildings in which the machinery is 10
Gated, and the grounds upon which they
are situated, or which may be within the
necessary enclosure around such build
ings," etc.
The company enjoined the collection
Of the tax. The case was tried before
Chancellor Peyton and resulted in his
dissolving the injunction. An appeal
was taken to the Supreme Court, whose
decision pronounced by Justice Camp
bell, will be found on our first page. 1t
is very able and elaborate review of
the whole subject, and afirms the decis-
ion of the Chancellor. Justice Chal-
mers delivered a dissenting opinion, and
Chief Justice Simrall delivered a sepa-
rate opinion in which the same conclu-
sions enunciated in this opinion Of JUS
tice Campbell, were reached. The sum
of the decision is that the property of all
corporations for pecuniary profit is liable,
under the Constitution to be taxed, and
in the same mode prescribed for the tax
alton of Individually according to
rdluc.
In support of its Interpretation of the
meaning of our Constitution the Court
cites the decisions which have been rem
dered by the Supreme Court ofthe State
of Iowa, the Constitution of which con
tains precisely the same clause contained
in the Constitution Of Mississippi, to the
effect that it is unconstitutional for the
Legislature to exempt the property of
corporations from taxation when the
property of individuals is taxed. The
Constitution of Alabama contains sim
liar provision, and we are told that the
Courts of that State have decided that
the Legislature in framing a revenue
law cannot discriminate in favor of cor
porations so as to exempt their property
from paying the same tax which is inn
posed on the property Of individuals,
Under this decision of the Supreme
Court, that the intention of the Consti-
tuition is to fix the rule for the taxation
of the property of corporations, and that
it must not be specific but according to
value, the feature in the revenue law of
the State fixing the tax on railroads at
eighty dollars per mile instead Of
according to the value of the property is
an unconstitutional mode of levying the
tax.

IT is remarkable commentary upon
the predictions of the anti-silver prophets
that the credit of the government woull
be utterly destroyed and its bonds would
go begging at ruinous discount, if the
silver bill passed, that since its passage
government bonds have never befor2
been in such demand at home aud
abroad. We find the following in the
financial review of the Philadelphia
Ledger, an anti-silver paper:
IT, re is a steady demand for Governm cnt
loan, ii over the country. but more especiil-
liz at the West This is the more striking
from the fact that these bonds pay little if
any more than 4 per cent per annum on
their current price, and this is scarcely half
the rate of usance in the section.

THE NATCHEz DEMOCRAT has discov-
cred some discrepancies in the School
Law passed by the last Legislature, as
published in the pamphlet Acts, and
takes it for granted that the Public
Printer IS responsible for same. We
have only to say, in reply, that the Act,
as published, is a verbatim copy of the
enrolled bill in the Office of Secretary of
State. That officer is not authorized to
correct errors in eDgrossment or enroll
ment. The author af the bill, Hon. FL.
a. Moody, of Pamela. called our atten-
ton 10 these manifest errors in the bill
when first published by the State Super
intendent of Education, and suggested
that an 60 erratta be appended, which
we. did not feel authorized to do. The
journals show that DIR. Ioody's bill was
amended in almost every section in both
houses. and it is not surprising that in
the hurry of engrossment or enrolment
at the close of the session, the errors re-
fer-ed to should have crept into the bill.
In the Senate, the Mofitt Register bill,
which had been rejected by the House,
was tackled on to the School bill, as an
amendment, and thus tilsl action on the
School bill was deferred until the close
Of the session:

The Army.

1t is worth while to compare the cost
of the United States army under the rule
of the old parties before the war, in the
era of honesty and economy, with the cost
under Republican rule since the wal
under the era Of extravaganza and dis
honesty. 1t will be remembered that
there was profound peace in the latter,
as well as in the former period. There
was no invasion by a foreign foe, nor enc
my to repel, nor domestic instruction to
repress. The country was at peace at
home and abroad. The South, exhausted
by long and devastating war against
overwhelming odds, had laid down her
arms ill good faith, and there was nc
enemy 10 conquer on land or sea, except
a little bard on the frontier. Now be-

FRIGHTENED by the bluster of the Re
publican leaders, or by the noise of the
Investigating Committee in exposing the
electoral frauds, all but twenty-one Of the
Democratic members Of the House either
voted for, or lodged vote on, a resoIu-
ton offered by Republican member
from Illinois declaring that any attempt
t, "annul the title Of President Hayes or
disregard the action by which it was de
clared, would be revolutionary" If Mr.
Hayes does not feel secure in his seat, it
will not be for want of Congressional en-
dorsing.
