It will lie noticed that the complainant does not allege iu his bill what distance from the college chapel the Act of 1842 extended the corporate limits of the town, but by reference to that Act, it appears that the cor porate limits of tho town were extended two miles from the col lege chapel, and the Act of 1872 should he taxed to build one. In these eases, and many others which might he cited, the individ uals whoso property might be taxed, would have no more per sonal interest in the special object for which the tax was levied, than p'osed upon his property by the sovereign authorljf of ! thfc State, because, in hij judgment, lie would not be penefitted by its payment, there I would not be much tax pioney collected.

The prin ciple decided ik those cases is, that although th: Courts do not hold the legislative enactment im posing taxes to bo absolutely void, but only hold that the Courts have this power to limit the taxing power of tho State’ when, in their judgment, upon a given state of fatts the individual whose property 1 is taxed derives no benefit from! the object for which the tax i* imposed—then they will enjoin Ihe collection of such taxes.

Here is how lie over a dinner of roast is vested in the sovereign authori ty of the State. Xo constitution al government can exist without it; its exercise is essential to the very existence of the State gov ernment. As was said by Chief Justice Marshall, in the case of the Providence Bank vs. Billings, 4th Peter’s Reports, i)61: r It resides in the government as part of itself, and need not lie reserved where property of any descrip tion, or the right to use it in any manner, is granted to individuals or corporate bodies. However absohito tho right of any individ ual may be, it is still in the na ture of that right, that it must hear a portion of the public bur dens, and that portion must be determined by the Legislature.— This vital power may be abused ; but the interest, wisdom, and jus tice of the representative hotly, and its relations with its constitu ents, furnish the only security against unjust and excessive tax ation, as well as against unwise taxation.’ By the Constitution of this State, the power of taxation over the whole State shall be ex ercised by the General Assembly only to raise revenue for the sup- n,an port of the government, to pay the public debt, to provide a gen eral school fund, for common de fense, aud for public improve ment ; and taxation on the prop erty shall bo ad valorem only, and uniform on all species of property taxed. The General Assembly may grant the power of tiixatiou to the county authorities and municipal corporations, to be exercised within their several ter ritorial limits. There is no pre tense that the land of the com plainant which is taxed, is not withiu-tho territorial limits of the making extravagant expenditures aud taxing the people for the payment thereof. By the Consti tution, the General Assembly of this State have power to make all laws and ordinances consistent with tile Constitution, and not re pugnant to the Constitution of the United States, which they shall deem necessary and proper for the welfare of the State. In 1842, the General Assembly deemed it necessary and proper to extend the corporate limits of the town necessary and proper for the wel fare of the State, instead of the Legislative department of the State government. Cooly on Constitutional Limitations, 501, after citing several cases, remarks in a note, that ' It would seem as if there must lie great practical difficulties, if not some of princi ple, in making this disposition of such a case.’ In McCulloch, vs. Maryland, 4th Wheaton’s R., 430, Chief Justice Marshall said: 'It is unfit for the judicial depart ment to inquire what degree of taxation is the legitimate use, and what degree may amount to the abuse of the power.* By the Con stitution of this State, the legis lative, executive, and judicial departments shall be distinct, and each department shall be confided to a separate body of magistracy. Xo person or collection of persons being of one department, shall exercise any power properly at tached to cither of the others, except in cases herein expressly provided. It follows, therefore, that iu this State at least, inas much as the power to levy and collect taxes is vested in the Gen eral Assembly, that it would, in the language, of Chief Justice Marshall, he unfit for the judicial department of the State govern ment, to inquire whether the law making power of the State has acted wisely or unwisely, justly or unjustly, in taxing the proper ty of the complainant as set forth in the record. The principle In volved in the case now before us, was decided in the; case of Frede rick, vs. the City Council of Au gusta, 5th Georgia Reports 5(il. In that case, this Court held that when the law-making power acts within the scope of its delegated ,n authority, the Courts cannot in terfere, It is the duty of the ju dicial tribunals of the country to execute and enforce all Constitu tional laws, and not to make them.

In 1872, the General Assembly in amending the charter, confirmed the exten sion of the corporate limits of the city as the same as existed by the Art of 1842. The Act of 1872 did not extend the limits of tlic corporation so as to embrace more territory than was included by the Act of 1842. By tbc Act of 1872, the Mayor and Council of the city of Athens hud full power and authority levy and collect an annual tax of not exceeding one per ccntinn upon the value of all the property within the corporate limits of said city of whatever kind, real or personal, which is or may be subject to taxation by the laws of the State.

The reply is, that the taxation of property within the corporate limits of the city of Athens, was a question for the legislative de partment of the government to decide, and not a question for the Courts.
