Mr.. John BiSgs, attorney for the z.

the brightest attorneys in Delaware
and what he says has always carried
weight with it. lie contends that
the proposed increase in State taxes

After the month of October, 1865. the
railroad company declined to make
return of interstate passengers, ana
thereafter suit was incepted against
the railroad company by the state
treasurer. by case stated. in the Super
Tor Court of New Castle county, which,
on appication Of both parties, was or
dcrcd to be heard in the Court of Er-
rOrs aud Appeals; and having been SO
heard, it was unanimously held ana
decided by said Court that the statute
80 far as it operates upon persons en-
tering into, departing from, or passing
through the State Is lnopera'
tive and invalid" under the CONNER
cial clause Of the Federal Constitution
lsee Houston PIP lS9-19N. This
Judgment fully sustained the contcn-
ton of the railroad company, and
the, effectiveness Of its protest rs TO
tax on interstate passengers, and as 70
the result thereof the company became
eouitably entitled to demand and re"
ceive the said sum Of S3O7,345.70, pay
ment whereof had been lunlawfully cX-
acted under coxr Of said statute by the
state authorizes. but made under pro-
test as aforesaid.
Meanwhile the act of 1869 having
been passed, ii Immediately became
the subject of litigation in the United
States Circuit Court and was finally
passed upon by the Supreme Court IN
October, 1873.
Pending the litigation, however, the
whole matter of State taxes, under
both acts, was made the subject OF
careful investigation and considera-
tion between the representatives or
the railroad company and the General
Assembly at It's session of 1878 and an
agreement considerably reached fixing
a fair and just sum to be paid by said
ra ilroad company in communication OF
taxes: and the act of 1873 providing
for the communication and producing
the sum of $4,000, the amount agreed
on, was passed according ly
The charter Of the Delaware Rat
road Company exempted Its property
from all taxes for "a period OF hfty
years, which expired with the yea
1886.
