state.
An interesting case, involving large
amount OF money, will be argued ia the
United States court IL this city, on Sat-
nrday next, before Justice Bradley Of the
United States Supreme Court, Judge
McKennon of the circuit court, and Judge
Wales Of the district court.
The case is that Of the First National
Bank OF Wilmington va Robert j. Rey-
nolds, State treasurer, William Herbert,
the present treasurer, being nov substi.
tuted for Mr.. Reynolds. Treasurer Rey.
nolds was about to levy on the properly

claimed to be duo The State, when an in.
junction was issued, restraining him from
further proceedings. The argument viii
be upon the injunction, but the decision
OF the court will be upon the merits of
the csse.
The case is q test case, involving tho
question OF the liability of all the M
,ional banks 10 this State for the pay
ment 10 the State OF Delaware OF u tax
upon oil their shares OF stock. The tax is
one.fourth of per cent upon the actual
cash value OF each share OF stock, and is
claimed by virtue OF an act of the Gen.
eral assembly passed In April, 1869 TIE
suit, in principle, involves back taxta
amounting to about 500, 000, and fur.
Their payment, in the event Of the State
hsiDg sustained, of about $25 ,000 par year.
The banks with the exception OF the
Newark National Bank, which has paid
the lax regularly without question: resist
payment, upun tbs grouod that the rate
OF taxation, as claimed by the State, ia
higher than that imposed upon any other
personal property in this State.
The court erjoined Treasurer Reynolds
from proceeding against tho First Ma.
tional Bank and no further steps hove
been tsken since. beyond preparation for
the Argument. II the Stale is sustained
