TAXATION OF STATE COUPONs-A
DIVIDED CoURp.-In the case OF Hart
man u.s. Greenhow, Treasurer of Rich
mond city, to test the csnstitutionality
of the tax or coupons, tried before the
Court OF Appeals OF the State last week,
the Court was divided-Judges Chris
tan and Anderson holding that the tax
was unconstitutional and Staples and
Burks that it was. Judge Moncure did
not sit in the trial OF this case-being
the owner of State bond. The result
will be, that the case will be taken to
the. Supreme Court of the United States
that will decide the tax unconstitutional,
as that Court has recently decided in
the case Of Murray Us. The City Of
Charleston, that neither city nor a
State has the right to tax its own bonds.
Until the decision Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States shall be rem
dered, the tax on coupons. assessed by
the Auditor of the State must be paid
as heretofore, as the Judges sitting in
the Court of Appeals OF this State being
equally divided. the matter stands as it
did before the case was tried, except
that it can now be taken for trial to the
United States Supreme Court.
