MUNICIPAL TAXATION.

Ihc right OF city to tax its own
bonds OF certificates OF Indebtedness
has at last been decided bv the Uni.
ted states supreme court. The de-
cislon is permanent; especially sig
clllcant as to the views of the court
upon Virginia > proposition to scale
her state debt, and Tennessee well
nigh open reputation of hers. The
city authorities OF Charlestown Dor
rowed on lot of bonds that were
uttered free from taxation. After
wards as, with municial treasures Of
late years. the official cash box were
found TO be empty. a tax Of two per
cent was levied to make up defcien-
cies, and collected by process as
sharp as ingenious; it was deducted
from the interest and four per cent.
instead OF six was paid Justice
Strong gave the decision of the court.
The law gives city or state right
to tax It's citizens and their property
loT proper purposes In Il general way;
that Is 10 say II manner that will
draw the revenue from all classes Of
people alike. 1t allows municipal au.
thorlties To raise revenue by taking
gotldted with due notice Of such taxa
ton, but the tax cannot be deducted
either from the interest or principal
directly. IL must be levied and COL
Iected from al theci tizens in Il gener-
al way, and paid by them independ-
ent OF a.! payments that may be due
to them as creditors Of the municipal
Or state government. This decision
makes .he city or state bond Il final
contract between the borrower and
lender. The principal and interest
cannot be reduced except by some
some funding process after redemp-
ton Of exchange, and this decision
makes II Illegal tor cities or states to

sI.75o,ooo,ooo GOOD MONEY.

Please answer the following ques-
tionS:
l. What amount was the first issue
of greenbacks!
,. What amount was the second
issue, and when did the Senate amend
the bill and limit the capacity of Sec
ond issues T. .K.
ANSWER
1st-S250, 100000. under the act of
July II, 1861.
2nd-Under the Act of February
25. 1862, the issue Of $50, zoo. 900 was
authorized. BY the Act Of July IL,
1862, $50, 100000 were put in circula-
ton. BY joint resolution Of January
II, 1868. 500, 900, 900 were issued. BY
the Act of March 8. 1868. the issue of
$500, 900 900 was legalized, and under
it the Secretary of the Treasury was
also empowered 20 issue 5000, 900 900
more at any time to suit his conven-
fence during the next year. June 80,
1861, the final act relating to the issue
OF greenbacks was passed, authorizing
the Secretary TO put out $500, 900 900
more. This gives Il grand total of
81, $4,000. 900, but during the time
from 1861 TO 1861 various funding
bills We're enacted, under which these
notes were made receivable for I'M
taxed Understanding bonds, and at
no time Is II probable that the actual
circulation exceeded $1,000, 000, 900.
But great deal of this funding bust
ness WAS characterized by fraud and
sharp practice, to pull the wool over
the eyes OF the people; and although
statements Of its progress were pub
llshed from time to time, they were
merely puts III the interest of JAY
Cooke q Co., and wholly unreliable.
The passage of the first funding en-
actment was Oh August 5, 1861. in
which an attempt was made to limit
the issue Of government notes to
5000 .o0O.uuO, but this was only by
implication, and was repealed in the
following February. = Gin. trade

September LIST, there was shipped an
average of 5000 head a week. One
year ago this shipment of cattle was
entirely confined to New York and
Baltimore. The growth OF this ex-
port cattle trade is most gratifying
since in 1878 it is four times what it
was in 1869. and that, too, despite the
hard times in Europe.
Great Britain and Ireland, with Il
population of 100000 have now
less than 100000 cattle, while we.
with over 4O,OO0.O00. have above So
900, head. The result of this is
that a new field is opened for our sur

There is, however, one point in our
