articles Of the constitutions OF 1916 and 1862,
relative TO equal and uniform taxation, IL Is
sufficient to say here that that question can
not be reoPsned TO the prejudlce Of the bond
holders. Their. rights are protected by the
adiudications OF this court, which. through a
long series OF decisions with q single exCep-
tom, declared that municipal taxa
ton was not In the contemplation
OF the constitution when 1t prescribed the
rule Of equality and uniformity, and, there
fore, the thirty-seventh section Of the act OF
1862 Is valid enactment. The language of
the United States Supreme Court In Van
Hoffmans case may be. literally applied IL
this, changing only the date of the act under
consideration ''The laws, requiring taxes to
the requisite amount to be collected, In force
when the bonds were issued, arc still in force
for oil the purposes OF this case. The act OF
1868 lin our case, the act Of 1876, so far as 1t
affects these bonds, Is nullity. 1t Is the duty
Of the city to Impose and collect the taxes, In
all respects, as II that act had not been passed.
A different rule would leave nothing OF the
contract but an abstract right OF no practical
value, and render the protection OF the cOnst-
tuition shadow and delusion." Wall. 5J5.
The inequality Of the taxation upon the
assessment Of 1851 has been very wildly por-
trayed by the counsel OF the city. At that
time D large portion Of what Is now the most
beautiful part of the city Yves unimproved.
Streets that then were considered the most
desirable locations for the large commercial
houses have been surrendered to baser uses.
On opposite sides OF the same street the
operation OF the tax was unequal. This ine-
quality has been demonstrated by tabular
OF one OF the counsel for the inter-
venors, which shows that In the Fourth Dis
trict the tax Is less than ofe-half that In the
Third.
If, however, 1t was the settled jurisprudence
Of this State when the consolidated bonds
were issued and received Ia exchange for old
that the article Of the eonstitu-
tiOn requiring uniform and equal taxation had
to State taxation alone, tho rights of
these bondhOlders cannot be affected by q
change of opinion Of the judiciary upon that
question. Nor can the Legislature disregard,
Ignore, or impair the contract which was
made between the city and the bondholders.
The rights OF the bondholders were secured
md set forth in the contract. The power OF
the Legislature TO make the provisions which
their security was judicially de-
clared to be within the authority of the con-
and 1t is too late now to attempt to
deprive the bondholders OF the guaranty
which every department Of the government
gave them, that they held o just debt, amply
secured and should be paid In the manner
stipulated by their debtor,

A Blind Mans Duel.
TCourier-J |

A peculiar duel occurred in the
days when Mississippi river steam
ers were the scenes of constant
carousals and quarrels. Captain
West, one OF the fiercest habitues
of the steamers, one day accused
gentleman on the deck of i'm peril.
nently staring at him. ~ am not
looking at you" calmly replied
the stranger, his eyes meanwhile
fixed in a stony glare upon the du-
elist's face. "But you are, STRIP II
am not" The Captain turned
away, but O short time afterward
he felt those stony eyes again upon
him, and following all his move
ments. Stepping up to the stranger
he inquired with suppressed pas
sion: "Can you fight as well as
look?" "Perhaps so. never tried
it. Place me, however, in position
anu VIII do my best. The SIM
gular conduct of the stranger had
by this time attracted universal at
tention. In a short time the vessel
rounded to landing for wood, and
the parties to the impromptu duel
went ashore. The stranger was led
off by negro servant, who SEEM
ingly picked his way. But the
time allotted for preliminaries was
brief, and the men were speedily
put in position. The word was
given, and two ringing reports
flashed in the air. Capt. West fell
pierced to the heart. The stranger
stood erect, calm and dignified.
His second rushed up to him: "Are
you hurt, sir?" mo; how is it with
my antagonist" "Can't you see?
You have killed him." mo; 1 am
unable to see." "You can't see?"
mo; 1 am Blind" And so he
proved to be. The tragedy was a
nine-days' wonder, and all sorts of
rumors were rife as to the identity
of the fatal stranger. But who he
was and whittier he went was
mystery never solved.

THE sublime impudence of per-
sons who assume to engineer a
party for Zone campaign only"
merits significant rebuke. The
real animus of these worthless is
that they desire, if they can COM
pass it, to secure the offices that
are going around begging this
Fall, and yet be at liberty to drop
down on what they regard as the
strongest side in the Presidential
election next Fail. Their true pur-
pose is an imitation of the "now
you see it and now you don'" of
the thimble-rig artist. All this
harlequinism is in face of the fact
that never in the history of the
United States has anything been
more cordially accepted, by men OF
all parties, than the result of the
late Constitutional election. The
fact is that these selfish fellows do
not like to see the unanimity with
which men of all parties have &C.
cepted the expressed will of the
majority. They aim at personal
aggraudizement under the shadow
of professed superserviceable de-
votion to the good of the good PEG.

THE HON. DAVID 8. TERRY is a
gentleman of fine intellect and
thorough gumption. There was
undoubtedly time when he
thought he could organize party
which would amount to something,
with the "whooping-up'' of the
Chronicle thrown in. But, long
ago, the Hon. David became cog
infant of the sepulchural character
of the whole clay out.n Conse-
quently he gracefully shifted the
Bilks' nomination for Chief Justice
from his own shoulders TO those of
poor old Mr.. Bennett, q venerable
old fossil who was Chief Justice
away back in 1850. Anyone who
cares to scrutinize the Honorable
Blk" ticket for Supreme Court
Judges, published elsewhere, will
look with a sentiment of discursive
melancholy upon most beggarly
array of mediocrity and positive
incompetency. But, as the poor
fellows will never be called upon
to serve, that does not matter so
much!
