made. and claims to be definitely ascer
tanned To say, then, these things con
sidered, that the decision of this cast
does not directly involve questions
concerning the public revenues, would
it seems to us, be an unworthy attempt
to evade our manifest duty Certainly
the decision of this case does directly
concern the public revenues.
But beyond all this, what seems a
conclusive view in regard to our duty
under the act of 1871, is that by our
decision we may declare that the State
is bound as by contract under the
funding bill" and that it will be the
duty of the State in the future to inn
pose yearly taxes to meet the accruing
interest upon what will have been
recognized as the bonded debt of the
State.
How, then, can it be said that the
decision of this case does not involve
questions concerning the public reve-
nues of the State, leaving out of view
all other considerations above set forth
on this subject?
We deem it unnecessary to consider
the questions argued at the bar as to
whether the @funding board as such,
or the individuals composing it are
public officers, and whether the exer-
else of their lawful functions in in
volved in the decision of this case.
Upon the whole matter, then, we are
of opinion that this case should be
advanced upon the docket of Davidson
county and heard at the present term.
e. III. EWING,
Special Judge.
The court all concur in the conclu-
sion arrived at in this opinion that the
cause should be advanced; but there is

of the reasoning and reasons for the
