Rendered q Decision.

NEW ORLEANS, April 6.-Some
weeks ago Judge Monroe rendered a
decision in the Cgil District Court in
the case Of the administrators of the
Tulane educational fund vs. the State
OF louisiana et ais. declaring the in.
competency Of the State Legislature
under the constitution to exemut
property of plaintiffs from taxation.
and holding, therefore, that an exem.
ton could be made ia its favor. The
case was appealed TO the Supreme
Court, and Judge Manning. as organ
OF the court, to-day delivered An
opinion reversing the decision of the
lower court and establishing the i'm.
munity of these handsome phiIanth.
ropic donations from taxation, Con-
ciudingJudge Manning said: "wo may
ielicitate ourselves that stream of Paul
Tulane's bounty shall thus flow on
undisturbed while the children of our

BOARD OF liquidation, but was not alow-
ID to do So, the court holding that the
bonds had not been issued in strict
to law and for valid
consideration, and that want of knows

bird parties. On writ of error the
United States Supreme Court affirmed
he same. In concluding the decision
he court said; "As the object in
