Ebseine, J.—This is a bill in chancery, filed to this
court by the (Mate of Georgia, represented by Ohas. J.
Jenkins, Governor, against James Atkins,' the defend
ant, collector of the fourth collection district of this
State, unaer the Internal Bevensf: la wa of .the United
States, paging that » *rit ef WtunfiK* may be
restrain the defendant from further pro*
seeding in the collection of the sum of six thousand
and four dollars and fifty-six cents, claimed to be duo
to the United States, under the 103d section of said
laws, by the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and which
railroad, the bill alleges, is the property of the State of
Georgia exclusively, and that the entire net income
of thi4$a0road form* a part of the Of tti
State, and is applied fttfChe support* ili«S3n2emt
and that the Superintendent is the mere agent of the
State, and has no authority over the road or its in
come, which is not specifically given to klm bf the
Act of the State. The following portiou of the bill*
showing its general scope and object, may be cited at
length, as it cannot be epitomized: “And your orator
further complains, and says, heretofore, on the tenth
day of May, eighteen hundred and sixty-six, and said
James Atkins, Collector of the Internal Revenue of the
United States, as aforesaid, gave notice to Campbell
Wallace, the Superintendent of said railroad, that he,
the said Superintendent, should pay to him,, the said
Collector, tne sum of six thousand and four dollars

the said Superintendent, fail to make said payment by
the twentieth day ot May following, that he, the said
Collector, would issue aud have levied upon said ffiil-
road and its property, a distress warrant for said
amount with ten per cent, added thereto.’*
The defendant demurred Co the whole bill. This
admits all the facts in the bill that are well pleaded.
The several questions which aro$e and were involv
ed in the case have, on eituer side, been elaborately
and ably argued by Messrs. Law and Jackson for the
complainant, and by Mr. Fitch, United States District
Attorney, on behalf of Mr. Atkins, the Collector,
From the view which I take of the case, it will not
be necessary to pass upon more tha n two or three of
the questions discussed. The first’ matter for inquiry
is that of jurisdiction. The District Court of the
United States for the Northern District of Georgia has
by the act of Congress approved August 11th, 18*8,.
9 Statutes at Large, 280—superadded to its own proper,
powers those ‘ ~* ’
of the United
jurisdiction, deriving all their powers from the Con
stitution and the acts of Congress. But in construing
the statutes, the principles of the common law are the
guide. I will now, briefly, endeavor to ascertain
Whether this court has jurisdiction of the patties, and
Of the controversy. I will quote the first part of the
second section of .the act of March 2d, 1833, whieh
provides, “That the jurisdiction of the Circuit Courts
of the United States shall extend to all cases in law
and equity, arising under the revenue laws of the
United States, for which other provisions are not al
ready made by lawr ahd if any person shall receive
any iDjury in his person, or property, for or on ac-’' 1
count of any act by him done under any law of the
United States, for the protection of the revenue, or the
collection of duties on imports, he shall be entitled to
maintain suit for damage therefor in the Circuit
Court of the United States, in the District wherein tha
party doing the injury may reside, qr shall be found.
It will be observed that the jurisdiction here conferred
by Congress does not depeud upon the amount in dis
pute, or upon the citizenship of t\ie parties.

droned to tha President, ~ la behstf of the grest

The case of Catting eta/, vs. Shook, Assessor, tad
Gilbert, Collector, of the 32d collection district of the
city of Nov York, vu a suit in chancery, instituted
by the complainants in the Circuit Court of the United
States for the Southern District of New York, for
themselves, as well as all others in interest,who might
come in, etc., against the defendants, to enjoin the as
sessment and collection of & tax claimed by these of
ficers to be due to the United States under the 08th
section of the National Internal Revenue laws, fbr
bonds, stocks, etc., bought and sold by complainants,
as licensed brokers aud bankers. Because, among
other things, of the joinder of improper parties, the
injunction was denied by the Court, and the partite
left to their remedy at law. But Mr. Justice Nelson,
in delivering the opinion, says: “The second section
of the Act of Congress, of March 2, 1833, known as
the Force Act, confers jurisdiction in express terms,
aud which has been applied to this Act by its fiftieth
section. And jurisdiction had previously, and has
since, -keen uphekTand exercised upon general prin
ciples of equity jurisprudence. (9 Wh., 739. 963 ; 1C
How., 369; 18. #>., 331; 1 Biack, 436).” Pampb.—con-
taming argument of Mr. Courtney* United States telkfiivd WATtlrOVe than iMt
Diati ict Attorriey f in behalf of defendants, and the de ~
pinion of Judge Nelson—p. 27, New York, 1865.
The preceding extract is a direct and high authority
on the queatiou under immediate consideration; and,
for myself, I entertain no doubt whatever of tne juris
diction or power of this Court, if the tax sought to be
collected is illegal—unwarranted by the Act of Con
gress—to interpose, by writ of iojnctioa, and arrest
the threatened invasion of the property of the com
plainant. *
One other question only need be the subject of ex
amination, and that is, .whether, under the' Internal
Revenue laws, it was thtf intention of Congress that a
duty or tax should be collected out of property solely
owned, controlled and managed by a State; fbr fc.ta
admitted in the pleadings that Ahe Western and At
lantic Railroad Is the property of the Stats of Georgia
exclusively, and that the net income arising from the
foad is revenue applied to the support of tee govern
ment of the State. Section 103 of the act of Congress
of June 30,1864, as amended by that of March 3, 1865,
declares that every person, firm, Company or corpora
tion, owning or possessing, or having the care or
management of auy railroad, canal, steamboat, ship,**
etc., “engaged, or employed in the business ef trans
porting passengers, or property for hire, or in trau-

d He hss already brought
about a state of things in Bast Tennessee
which exists nowhere else. He has sedulously

ties which would long since have smouldered
into ashes. He hss actively hounded on the
spirit of persecution and murder, and is now
malignantly goading unresisting men. to the
last point of desperation. If he only inter

port. 1st tie case of Mftrtin vs. HoDt«r*» IsiM»,
Wheat., 326, Mr. Justice Story, in delivering the opin
ion of the Court, says thht “words are to be taken in
their natural and obvious sense, and not in a sense
unreasonably restricted or enlarged.’’ And In Dodo
tti. Reid, 10 Peters, 624, it was remarked by Jjfn Jig;
flee McLean, lit pronouncing -the detaj “
Court, that “gases may be found where ’•«
construed a statute most liberally to effc
remedy, but where the language of the act ip explicit,
there is great danger in departing from -the wows
used, to give an effect to the law which may he sup
posed to have been designed by the Leghdatore.”
After bestowing on this case the most careful oou-
sideration, I am of the opinion that Congress int nded
the term “corporation,” as used in this act, to-be up?
irstood in its general, obvious and natural meant
. ^ *• j, nnt innlndu tllP (Arm "HUi
and, therefore, ii does not include the term “State,”
Aud so far aa my limited researches go, I am unable to
discover a single decision of the Supreme Cpurt, «r
of any of the Circuit or District Courts of the United
States, wherein it has been adjudged thattheterm
“corporation”—body porno rate or to a
“State,” or where the one term ip n8ed*A : «iynonym
ft>r the other. ^ .
It is therefore ordered, that the demurrer be over
ruled; itnd that the writ of injunction issue m ae-
cvwdance with the prayqr of the* oompUtntat, upon
giving bond in'the sum of thirty thousand dollars.
