the instrumentalities OF the state gov
eminent, the property and revenues Of
municipal corporations are not subjects
OF federal taxation, nor is the income
derived from state, county and munich
pal securities, since taxation on the in
terest therefrom operates on the power
to borrow before IL is exercised and has
a sensible interest on the contract, and
therefore, such a tax is a tax on the
power of the states and their instru-
mentalities to borrow money, and con-
sequently repugnant to the conStitu-
ton"
Upon each of the other petitions ar
gued at the bar, to wit: First, whether
the void conditions as to rents and in
comes from real estate invalidates the
whole act; second, whether as to the
income from personal property as such
the act is unconstitutional as laying dl-
rect taxes; third, whether any part Of
the tax, If not considered as a direct
tax, is invalid for want of uniformity
on either of the grounds suggested, the
Justices who heard the arguments are
equally divided, and therefore no opin-
ion is expressed"
The result is that the decree of the
circuit court is reversed and the case
remanded with directions to enter de-
cree in favor Of complainant in respect
only Of the voluntary payment of the
tax on rents and income Of its real es-
tate and that which il holds in trust

for five more deaths. About a. m.

4 SAD AFFAIR.

Miss Lulu Downtain, Librarian
in the State Historical and ANTI
quarian Society's Rooms at Charles
ton, arrived here last week on a
months vacation for her health
and to recnpcrate from too close con-
iinement to her duties. She secured

her place, and did it AS a kindness
to help along friend. Miss Mag
gle, daughter Of Mrs. Thompson,
and stenographer for the New York
Life Insurance Company, boards
with Miss Downtain, and they are
very close friends, so she thought it
q nice arraneement to have Maggle's
mother Gil her place for her and
got the $50 per month salary, which
she could make such good use of.
But mortal proposes and God dis
poses, and in trying to do kind.
ness for the widow, she indirectly
and innocently brought her the
worst luck imaginable.
Last Friday morning about nine
o'clock, Mrs. Thompson, while 60
ing to her duties in the State
House, fell down the elevator shaft
seventy feet and was instantly
killed. 1t seems that the elevator
has been unsafe for q long time and
there was no appropriation to pay
for running it, and Mrs. Thomp-
son, going up on it herself, at
tempted TO stop it at the third
floor to get out near her depart
ment, and getting excited when she
couldn't stop it tried to jump
out on the floor. and got between
the elevator and the sliding gate
and rolled off, falling seventy feet
and being instantly killed. She was
sixty years old and widow of DR..
George Thompson, who died sud.
denly of apoplexy sixteen years ago.
She leaves six children. The fun
eral took place Sunday afternoon
at st. Adams and the burial in the
cemetery there. All in all, it was
a very sad affair and has cast a
shadow over the visit OF Miss Down
tain to our town. She wanted TO
return to Charleston mmediately,
but was unable to do so, and has
been quite i'll and almost Frustrated

There was another big law suit

Craig and his railroad suit. The
plaintiff was Mrs. Riley, widow of
Thomas Riley. and the defendants
were Mack and Granville Castle,
who have been engaged in the saw
mill business up the river, near the
Camp Ground. Mrs. Riley's boys
had been working for the Castle
boys and the suit was the result of
a disagreement in the settlement
and over the amount of wages the
boys were to receive. Mrs. Riley
sued for 1864 and the Castle bows
filed Offsets. There were about
forty witnesses summoned and the
small, one.story Temple of
Justice being too small for such a
big case, it was held in the Court
House. VIM. VI. o. Dawson was
attorney for the Castle boys and
Neil j. Fortney for the widow. The
suit came up last Saturday and
