THE CAPITAL IS TAXABLE.

The decision rendered by the Virginia
Court of Appeals last week in the Montgom-
cry county case, wherein it is held that the
Commissioner of the Revenue had no right 10
assess the invested capital of merchant for
taxes has attracted very general interest
through the State.
The decision is an important one, especially
to the counties, but does not affect the bus-
ness men of Richmond, or, perhaps, those Of
The other Virginia cities
The ground upon which the appellate court
sustained the claim of Tallant, the appellee,
that such taxation was Illegal, in view OF his
having paid his license tax as merchant
was that the Legislature had not empowered
county of Montgomery, through its board Of
supervisors to impose this tax. With the city
OF Richmond it is entirely different. The
charter not only gives authority for taxing
the capital invested in BUSINESS, aside from
the license tax, but declares that it shall be
taxed as other property.
Therefore the decision will not bring relief
to our merchants. And in all likelihood the
charters of the other Virginia cities contain
similar provisions. The counties, however,
have not had this authority given to them.-

why the short extension of the South
ern railway to the coalfelds of Wes'
Virginia is not made, is one of the pnz
zles of this puzziiug age. The sxter-
sion would be less than fifty miles, tie
railway now has no cosl of its owD, the
route from the coalfelds to tide
water at this city is much shorter than
that to any other shipping port, and
the road has large real estate intere, t;
here, the value OF which would be in-
creased greatly by making this CITY Il
large coal depot If the alleged revival
Of Industry and business be real, the
railway company is not observant o.
its own interests If It shall fail to avail
itself Of the referred to favorable oppor'

If THE high tide in the Potomac yes
terday had happened two weeks sgo, it
would have been attributed 20 the thaw,
and been used by some as conclusive
argument in favor of the removal ofthe
Long Bridge. But the high tide re-
ferred to, as has been the case with all
previous ones, came from below that
bridge, not from above it. and was
caused by the long prevailing easterly
wind, that impeded the passage of the
water in the river on its way to the sea.

ONE OF THE Washington preachers,
in his sermon yesterday, said some OF
the people there were attempting to
create panic with the threatened dan
gers of smallpox, aud others with the
dangers of hell, but that sensible peo
pie would not be alarmed at either.
1t is certain that few people now dread
smallpox, and that hardly any dread
hell, is made evident by the rapid in
crease in all manner of immorslity and
deviltry, which has become so plainly
apparent that a young negro girl in
this city, who was raised in a Christian
family, remarked to her mistress re-

to a hospital. A short while after this

house seemed to attract his special
attention, and through that he hurled
brick, which did great deal of dam.

charge of him, and he was sent to a

provement and was then released
under bond of lunacy. He is a native
