Washington, April 14.—In the case of the New Orleans Canal and Banking Company against the city of New Orleans, thq United States Supreme Court to-day affirmed the judgment of the Supremo Court of Louisiana, which, it is held, does not invade any right of the city given to it by the Constitution or laws of the United States. A decision wns also rendered in the case of David N. Barron, administra tor, vs. Logan Hunton, appealed from the United States Circuit Court for the District of Louisiana. The court holds that the Circuit Court had no jurisdiction, and orders its judgment reversed and the case re manded to tlie State court, from which it wns taken. SUPREME COURT. With consent of counsel on both sides tlie bearing of argument upon petitions of State of Virginia for writs of mandamus, habeas corpus and certioriari in the ltives mixed jury case has been postponed until the first Tuesday of next term. They are then to take precedence of all other business. It is tlie desire of the At torney General that argument should be heard by a full bench of justices, and if all are not present on the day to which the cases have been assign ed the hearing will again be post poned to ttie first duy when there shall be a full bench. A case from Ten nessee involving similar questions is set to be argued at the same time. admTtted—decisions of supreme COURT. Mark I). Brnlnard, of Montgomery, Ala., and Jas. '8. Fowler, of Nash ville, Tenii., were to-day admitted to practice in tlie United States Supreme Court,.and decisions were rendered in the following Southern cases: The Board of Supervisors of Calhoun county vs. W B Galbraith from the U. 8. District Court of Mississippi. The court holds that since irregulari ties on which the county bases Its re fusal to pay its bonds were committed by its own servants, it would be estop ped from taking the advantage of them, even if recital in bonds them selves of their conformity to the statute were not alone conclusive.

QUESTION OF TAKING BUSINESS FROM STATE COURTS. Special to Enquirer-Sun, 1 Washington, April 14.—Chief Justice Waite announced in the Su preme Court to-day that in view of the great importance of questions in volved in tlie case of the Delaware Railroad Construction Company against Meyer & Dennison, numbers 209, 210 and 500 on the present calen dar, the court has decided to order a re-argument when number 209 is reached in regular call of the docket next term. The cases in question require the court to give a construc tion to the act of March 3d, 1875, 18 stats. 470, regulating the removal of cases from State courts, and the de cision Is likely to effect a great num ber of other suits. In order, there fore, that all counsel in cases now pending in this court and the circuit courts, in which construction of tlie statute is involved, may have ample opportunity to present their views, permission is given them to file printed briefs therein, upon condi tion that thirty copies shall be filed with the clerk of this court before the first of October next. Tlio Chier Justice also announced that the reg ular call of the docket would cease for the present term on the 25th of April, at which time notice would be given of the date of tlie court's ad journment for the summer. PETITIONS FILED—CARPENTER'S BILL Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Washington, April 14.—Among the petitions filed to-day embracing bills were the following: By Reagan, of Texas, to regulate interest on commerce, and prohibit unjust discrimination by common carriers. To amend the revised statues con cerning commerce aud navigation and regulation of steam vessels. Providing, that from ami after July 1st next, the customs duties on quinine ami the salts of quinine shall be reduced to 20 per cent, ad valorem.

With tlie exception of the commit tees on coinage, weights and meas ures, Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, chair man, and foreign affairs, Hon. S. 8. Cox, chairman,the House committees I lave not yet formally organized for the transaction of business. The two mentioned organized this morning, Dr. Culver being appointed clerk of the former, and Mr. H. Spofford of the latter. The members of the committees on accounts and epidemic diseases held informal conferences. These com mittees, together with the appropria tion and agricultural, expect to or ganize to-morrow morning. The bill introduced to-day by Sen ator Carpenter, concerning Senato rial elections, proposes to amend sec tion 14 of the revised statutes by in serting the words “and organized,” after the word “chosen,” so that it will read, "The Legislature of each Stete which is chosen and organized next proceeding the expiratiou of the time for which any Senntor was elected to represent such State In Congress, shall, on the second Tues day after the meeting nnd organiza tion thereof, proceed to elect a Bena- tar In Cougress." The bill to de signed to remedy a defect in the ex isting law which was recently brought into public view by the New Hampshire case. fortv-sixtiTcongress. Senate Debate* Arm7 Bill—Itlnlno I* A natt ered by Wilber* and Wallace*— House Vote* Down n Resolution Not to Go Into General Legfslatlou. HOUSE. Washington, April 14.—Immedi ately after reading of the journal the speaker proceeded to the call of States for bills for reference, beginning with the Btate of Maine. The flrst'response was made by Ladd, of Maine, who introducecLa bill to put coinage of gold and tmver on the same footing. A [mint of order thereupon was raised by Conger, of Michigan, that the Introduction of bills required one day’s notice, and that no such notice had been given. The Speaker, after quoting several rules bearing on the subject, overruled tlie point of order. An appeal from the decision was taken by Conger, and a motion to lay the appeal on the table was made by Cox, of New York. The question was debated by Ste phens, of Georgia, who expressed the opinion that the decision was clearly right, and that atall events the object of the bill could always be attained by presenting a petition on the same subject, a course which he, himself, had pursued this morning in regard to all objects of legislation which he desired to promote. Conger is now debating the ques tion, and thus, indirectly, attaining his object, which is the consumption of the morning hour. After a brief argument by Reed, of Maine, in support of the point of order, and by Cox, of New York, against it, Conger called tor tellers, on motion to lay on the tabic. There upon, Springer, of Illinois, remarked that he wished to expedite the decision of the question, called for yeas aud nays, which were ordered, and on whicli Conger's ludicrous comment was, that “he was glad to see that delay was being occasioned by the action of the Democratic side oftho House.” The appeal was laid on table. Yeas, 139, nays, 76; but the morning hour was used up in the objection, discus sion and taking vote. A motion to suspend the rules and adopt a resolution giving as the judg ment of the House that no legislation changing tlie law in regard to the currency or tariff should be underta ken at the present session of Con gress was defeated by a vote of 108 to 117. SENATE. After the usual morning business, tlie Senate resumed consideration of the army appropriation bill. Blaine proceeded to address tlie Senate. Blaine opened the debate. He said the Democrats, instead of striking out the words offensive to them, viz : “or to keep peace at tlie polls,” re pealed the whole section of which these words were a part, and then re enacted it, thinking to get credit for originating It; but tliis law was passed in time of war and signed by Liucolu, when he had a million men under his control, and could have controlled elections without any such aid. Tlie purpose of the law was to insure fairness in elections, and the Democrats now bore witness to its fit ness for that purpose by trying to re enact it. He derided the idea of danger from military interference, and said tliere were only 2,797 soldiers enst of Onialia, and only 1,155 in the South ern States—about seventy to every million people. The Democratic cry of military despotism would injure the standing of the country abroad, but a European would laugh at it if he knew that there was only one soldier to every 700 square miles of territory in tlio South. This was not the real issue. The ulterior pur pose of the other side was to prevent the general government from being represented by its civil officers at elections, in which it was specially interested nnd over which the Con stitution gives it full control. He would not profess to know what the President would do when these bills come to him, but it seemed to him that the dead heroes of tlie Union would rise from their graves if lie should consent to be intimidated and outraged in his proper constitutional power by threats like these. The ap propriate response from his lips would be, “Is the servant a dog that he should do this thing.” Withers, of Virginia, said Blaine's remurks would not produce much effect on either Senate or country. It was not a question to be decided whether there wero soldiers enough to dominate and control elections, but whether under the operation of existing laws it wns not [possible for the Executive to distribute nnd use tlie soldiery so as to destroy the free dom of elections. It was not to con front tlie present danger, but to re move trom the present or any future President the temptation the existing law would offer to destroy the liberties of the country, and erect on the ruins of a Republic a despotism supported by arms. He argued that tlie pres ence of troops at the polls was incom patible with free government, and tills was the principle on which the pending bill was based. Tlie Demo crats did not propose to shape their course as to what may or may not be the position of tlie President. He should not to attempt to take away a particle of spinal marrow attempted to be given to the President by the Senntor from Maine. He would not interfere with any agency to infuse strength to his spinal cord. The debate was closed by Mr. Wallace of Pennsylvania, who declared that tlie sin gle issue in this bill is, shall the Executive longer possess the power to place troops at the polls? Their presence is a menace upon the rights of free elections. This right is fixed and certain. It comes to us from England and is part of our system of laws. Its protection rests with the States and tlib Federal Government has nothing to do with it. After an argument of considerable length the Senator closed by saying this legislation places a check on military [tower. In the interest of the people wo must restore tlie origi nal ptinclples from which four years of war liuve diverted the Govern ment, bring military to strict sub ordination to civil power, permit free system of laws to be based upon free ballot and expunge a standing men ace upon free institutions. RUSSIA. The Attempted I nation of the Csar. St. Petersburg, April 14.—While the Czar was taking his usual morn ing walk early to-dny near the palace four shots from a revolver were fired at him. The Czar was unhurt. Tlio man who fired the shots wns arrest ed by a crowd which tlie firing at tracted. Tlie city is being decorated in token ofthankfulnessfor the Czar's escape. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] St. Petersburg, April 14.—The would-be assassin of the Czar is now undergoing examination. A full of ficial account of the affair says to wards 8 o’clock this morning as the Emperor was taking his customary walk a respectably dressed mnn, wearing a military can with a cockade advanced toward him, and us the Emperor approached nearer drew a revolver from a pocket of his overcoat, and fired four shots at him. The assassin before submitting to his captors tired unothershot slightly wounding tlie cheek a person in the crowd. The great throng of people which had assembled enthusiasti cally oheered and congratulated tlie Emperor, who thanked them for their proofs of fidelity on such u I iainful occurrence. He said he mew he had the support of all rcspcetuble people. He hoped God would grant that he might complete his task, which con sisted in promoting tlie welfare of Russia. The Emperor, after the foregoing speech, drove to the palace without escort. He lias not suffered the least ill effect from the attempt upon his life. Afterwards he drove, still without escort, to the Kazan Ca thedral to return thanks for the pres ervation of his life. When receiving the congratulations of the officials of the empire at noon the Czar was so much overcome by his enthusiastic reception as to bo unable to speak for some minutes. On recovering from his emotion he said, “This is the third time God lias saved me.” The Emperor's assailant took poison be fore his attempt, as ho vomited after his arrest. Poison was also found under his iinger-nnils. Antidotes were administered. It is thought the man was an employe of the Minister of Finance, and an agent of the In ternational. The Sultan and nil of the European sovereigns have tele graphed their congratulations. VIRGINIA. Negroes Hnve not tlie Emigration Fever. Fredericksburg, April 13.—Dili gent enquiry does not confirm the report that negroes along tlie Rappa hannock river had caught the emi gration fever. Between here and Chesapeake bay many negroes are engaged in fishing and oystering, and they are as prosperous and happy as the whites. They could not lie persuaded to leave this section for the North or West. Richmond, April 14.—The grand jury of the U. S. Circuit Court ad journed to-day, nine die. No action was taken in the matter of indicting County Judges in this district, for not having mixed juries. The tele gram sent to the House on Friday on the subject was based upon a state ment made by the acting assistant District Attorney of the U. S. Court. Charlottesville, Va., April 14.—The 80th anniversary of Thom as Jefferson’s birthday was celebrat ed to-day by a large procession. South Cnrollim Election Case*. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Charleston, S. C., April 14.—Tn the United States Court to-day Judge Bond denied a motion made in btf- linlf of the defendants in the election case to set aside the juries as illegally formed; also, a motion for a contin uance of the cases ; also, a motion to prevent the application of the test oath to jurors. On each of these questions Judge Bryan dissented, and Judge Bond announced that pending appeal on these issues to the Supreme Court, the accused, if con victed, would he admitted to bail. The case of the United States against Win Kerrigan, white, charged with assaulting and obstructing John Freeman, a colored U. H. supervisor, was then tried. A jury of eight whites and four colored having been formed under the operation of the test oath, after evidence and argu ment, Judge Bond gave the case to the jury without any charge, in structing them to render a sealed ver dict. The jury have to-night left their room and it was reported and believed their verdict is for convic tion. Funeral or Gen. Klrliard Taylor.

I know of no law in tlie revised statutes which taxes tlie receiving or paying out of a State bond. You will find by re ferring to sections 3412 and 3413 of the revised statutes of tlie United States of 1878 that every national bank, Stale bank or banker sliall pay a tax of ten per centum on Holes of any person, Stale bank, town, city or municipal corporation, paid out by tliom; nut certainly this does not ap ply to tlie bonds of a State, for tlie paying them out simply amounts to a sale of tlie bonds by the bank, and no one is bound to receive the bonds unless they want them, because of tlie interest imposed. It these bonus should go below par of course tlie banks would not take them, hut as long as they remain at par, the banks will take them if they do not fear of violating some law of which I have no knowledge.

Will you kindly inform me if there is any law or rul ing which can tax any bank corpora- ted or private, for paying out a bond of any sovereign State in the United States in payment of checks upon said banks, when the holders of sucli checks are willing to receive said bonds in [inymeut of said cheeks? 2nd, Qr is there any law or ruling which can in any manner tux any bank for receiving or paying such bonds in lieu of currency beyond the usual tax on average deposits of any character? 3d. Would not State, prlvato and National Banks stand oil tlie same footing as to receiving or paying out such bonds? If you answer yea to either of tlie first two questions, or nay to tlie third question, please point out tlie section governing the mutter. Very respectfully, Henry Persons, M. C. Georgia. DECISION' OF COMMISSIONER RAUM. Treasury Department, i Office of Internal Revenue, [ Washington, April 11,1879. ) Sir; 1 have received your letter of the 3d Inst., in which yon say, "Will you inform me if there is any law or ruling which can tax any bank, cor porate or private, for [laying out a bond of any sovereign Stute in tlie United States in payment of checks upon such banks, when tlie holders or such checks are willing to receive said bonds in payment? (2) Or is there any law or ruling which can in any manner Uix any bank for receiv ing or paying such bonds in lieu of currency beyond tlie usual tax on av- eraeg deposits of any character? (3) Would not State, private and nation al banks stand on tlie same footing as to receiving or paying out such bonds?” The bonds or obligations particu larly in question are, as I understand, of various denominations, some of them us low as five dollars. One of them of tlie denomination of $5 bus been shown me. Itwas issued by tlie State of Georgia under an act of the Georgia Legislature, is payable to bearer by ttie State, January 1st, 1885, with annual interest represented by coupons at tlie rate of four per cent, per annum, and is signed by tlie Treasurer and the Governor of the State. In short, it is an interest bear ing obligation of tlie SUite of (Jeor- gia, payable to bearer at a definite future time. It lias never been considered as within tlie spirit of the internal revo- nue’lawB, or the policy of Congress to NO. 91 impose a tax upon the bonds or other similar obligations of a State. In fuel tlie tenor of tlie decisions of tlio Uni ted States Supreme Court in anala- gous cases is that Congress lias no authority to impose such a tax. However that may lie, 1 am of the opinion that not only has Congress not imposed any tax upon (lie obliga tions in question, 1ml that it lias passed no statue which purports to impose them. Tlie tax imposed upon bank depos its by section 3,408 of the revised statutes is upon “deposits of money.” I do not regard the bonds in question as “money” with in the meaning and intent of thutwordus used in that portion of the statutes. They are obligations, which a bunk may buy and sell as it buys and sells ail bonus and other similar obliga tions; but they are not money. Tlie only other internal revenue tax to which these obligations may lie thought liable is the tax of ten per centum imposed upon certain notes mentioned in sections 8,412 mid 3,413 of the revised statutes, and sections 19 and 20 of the act of February 8th, 1875, (ab. statutes at large 311.) Even assuming the obligations in question to lie '‘notes," they are nev ertheless liable to tax neither under said section 8412 nor said section 19. The tax imposed by those sections is upon the note of persons, firms, asso ciations, State haul's and State luintc- iny associations within the meaning and intent of this statute—(13 Opin ions of Attorneys General, 17(1). And it would hardly be cluimcd that a State falls within either of the other classes enumerated in tlie section cited. The tax imposed by said sections 20 and 3413 is upon the notes of any town, city or municipal corporation. The expression of one tiling implies the exclusion of others. The mention of towns, cities and municipal corporations, implies the exclusion of a Stute. If it had been the purpose of Congress to Impose a tax upon notes issued by a State, States would undoubtedly have been included in the enumeration in the statute. In reply to your inquiries there upon, I have to say that there is no ruling of this Rureau, nor in my opinion is there any internal revenue law which requires a tax from any bank or banKer, for paying out bonds of the Stute of Georgia in sat isfaction of checks drawn upon such hank, nor is there any internal rev enue law which imposes a tax upon any bank or banker, for receiving or laying out such bonds in ien of currency. State banks, private banks and national banks stand upon tlie same footing, under internal revenue lawH, ns to receiving aud [laying out such bonds. Respectfully, Green B. Raum, Commissioner Internal Revenue. Hon. Henry Persons, M. C., House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. R**ler* tto«MCll». London, April 14.—A special from Vienna to tlie Daily Tctrgtajdi says the resumption of negotiations rela tive (o the mixed occupation of East ern Roumelia, which stopped when the Porte proposed that, Instead of mixed occupation, tlio powers should agree to the nomination of Aleko Pasha as Governor, the Porte agree ing to the prolongation of the Inter national Commission for one year, and to ubstain during that period from occupying points it lias a right to garrison, has only served to in crease the state of dire confusion that prevailed when they were sus- lended a few days ago. Germany ms refused to semi u commander-in- chief and sbiff, and it is stated that another power, which had a leading [iart in tlie whole business, has also rejected the offer of chief command. Russia lias also raised new difficul ties. Egyptian Matter*. Special to Enquirer-Sun. 1 London, April 13.—The Observer understands that official circles, botli in London and Paris, consider that recourse should not be had to the Sultan’s authority to Holve Egytian difficulties, except after very careful deliberations. No step will, there fore, be taken in reference to ttie Sul tan’s proposition until France and England nave had a full opportunity of concerting a common courso. A dispatch to tlio Observer from Cairo states business is completely suspend ed and is likely to remain so until tlie leeision of England and France is known. The Gove-ninent is collect ing money throughout the provinces using every meaiiH of compulsion. An immediate levy of 10,000 soldiers lias been ordered. A special envoy lias been sent by the Khedive to Con stantinople. AfkkHllllM. London, April 14.—Tho Times' Lahore correspondent telegraphs as follows: Tliere is no doubt that a feeling is growing against tlie British amongst all tlie tribes interested in Khyher Push. They complain that tlie British are acting as though they intended to beep the pass in spying out tlie hill fastnesses. Emissaries from Yukooh Khan doubtless also have been busy among tlie tribes. Our conduct and intentions must lie explained, and the frontier affairs placed in the bands of tlie most capa ble officials, otherwise we may have a combination against us, which at the present moment would he most inconven’ent. A Iteiil cr’s Constantinople dispatch denies the Sultan has offered to de pose tlie Khedive. Clinric.s Aguluat J.i.lit*' Nluck.lt Mat- then*.
