Accepted for Taxes.
RICHMOND, VA, June l0.--Judge Bond,
of the United States Circuit Court, has
entered decree in five suits brought by
taxpayers who have rendered coupons in
payment of State taxes, perpetually en-
joining defendant tTeasurers from levying
upon, selling or returning as delinquent
the property OF the complainants, or TAX
ing any other steps TO collect taxes. The
insutliciency Of the amount in these cases
make the decree final unless a case is
made up, which, it 10 understood,
has already been done, TO carry
the matter to the United States
Supreme Court. Judge Bonds de-
crees are claimed TO be IN exact accord
ance with the decision OF the Supreme
Court in April in the Virginia coupon
cases. Their practical effect Is that a
taxpayer has only TO tender tax-receiva-
bic coupons to the proper officer and any
proceedings thereafter 10 collect a tax in
money will be perpetuallY en-
joined. Costs of about $50 were
awarded In each case against the
treasurers, for the refunding of which 10
them there Is no provision by state law.
Judge II. w. Hughes, of the District
Court, today granted preliminary In
functions In other and similar cases. The
effect OF these proceedings will be 10 en-
barass the State seriously In the cOllec-
tiOn Of its revenue.

COTTON RAISING IN BRAZIL.
No Danger that the Country VIII 500
Bacn1na a Rival tn the anrrAh

No Danger that the Country VIII Soon
Become a Rival to the south.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-Prof. John c.
Brauner, OF Indiana University, who dur
ing the winter of 1884, was sent to
Brazil to collect certain chronological in-
formation. and incidentally to study the
condition and extent of the cotton culture
in that country, has submitted his report
upon cotton culture to the Commissioner
OF Agriculture. He says that cotton in
Brazil grows on its native soil, and that
1t is to be presumed under climatic and
other conditions best adapted to its high
estdevelopment.
AGE OF TIE INDUSTRY.
But though Brazil began to export cot
ton more than a hundred years before the
United States, her annual product to day
is only about One.eighteenth as much as
our own. To be sure the population IS
only One-fifth as large as ours, but then
almost the whole population lives in the
cotton growing region, while only a small
part OF our people live in the cotton belt.
Under normal conditions Brazil can
scarcely become a competitor of the Uni
ted States in cotton production, but the
disappearance of slavery and the c0nse-
quent adoption Of some system of small
farming will, in the near future, materi-
ally increase the present production.
Slavery has fostered remarkable cOnser-
vatism in agriculture which must. with
the aid of educated planters, soon disap-
pear.
COTTON FACTORIES PROsPERING.
Cotton factories are already rapidly
springing up and prospecting, and the day
is not far distant when they will supply
the Brazilian market. The same agricul-
tural tools and methods now employed by
the average planters were in use more than
200 years ago. The methods were learned
from their Portuguese ancestors and from
their slaves. Lack OF capital and lack of
common roads are serious matters, hut
they are not insuperable difficulties. The
insect plaques that destroy from "A fourth
20 half Of their crops are great drawback ks.
The report, which is published as "A
special bulletin, forms pamphlet Of so
pages.

that "it is hardly in justice to the
