Tom Scott.— The subjoined extract
from the Washington corresondence of
the Baltimore Sim is ominous :
Avery Important vote was taken in the
Senate Saturday on the question of subsidies
to railroads. The bill up for discussion
granted a subsidy of live million dollars to
a railroad in Oregon. There was not much
said on the part of those opposed to the
bill, but it was developed very early that
subsides had not a ghost of a chance at this
session. 11 was stated in behalf of the com
mittee on railroads that they would report
no subsidy bills. Afterwards, by an almost
unanimous vote, the Senate refused to pass
to a third reading the subsidy bill under
discussion. The vote to-day indicated be
yond the possibility of a doubt that the
Texas Pacific subsidy has no show. It is
now said that Col. Scott intends to trust
his chances to an effort to tack his bid on
to one of the appropriation bills. One of
the few Senators who favor his bill was
canvassing the Senate to-day on the sub
ject, and before ho got'half round he ex
pressed himself as satisfied that the case
was hopeless.
If this be true, the Texas Pacific
Railway scheme is in a bad way. A
special to the Atlanta Herald confirms
this impression. It says the bill is
losing strength hourly, and it is pre
dicted that it will be badly beaten. The
rumors of a big lobby, and the ghost
of the Pacific Mail business, frighten
the members. Fe *v, if any, of the Geor
gians will vote for it.

respondence :

Knaves or Fools, Which P
Notwithstanding their abuse of
Grant and his fellow-conspirators and
usurpers, papers like the Sun, Tribune
and Times, still stick* to their “ ebony
idol,” and in view of the facts which
are daily presented to the country of
the awful effects of negro voting, ne
gro office-holding and negro domina
tion in the Soqth, the question natural
ly arises, “ are the editors of papers
like the Tribune and Sun knaves or
fools? ’ We believe they are knaves—
knaves of the first water—for other
wise we cannot account for the follow
ing, which we find in the columns of
the Tribune :
In common with all good citizens, we de
sire no abridgment of the rights of the
colored race; on the contrary, the Tribune
has persistently advocated the enlarge
ment of their rights, and protection in their
exercise of them. We have been disposed
to go to the extreme of constitutional leg
islation for the purpose of placing the citi
zenship of th> colored man on a basis so
firm that to deny him the rmhtof suffrage,
or to make any legal discrimination what-
lum, will be as impossible in
any State of the Union as to remand him
to slavery. No measure having the ad
vancement of the colored race, from the
emancipation proclamation of Abraham
Lincoln down, has failed to receive our un
wavering support. The war for the eman
cipation, the enfranchisement and the pro
tection of the negro has been our war.
Well, neighbor, of course it has been
your u 'car, and behold the result ! Are
you satisfied with the “ fruits of your
war ? ” If you are, how dare you find
fault with the scoundrels and thieves
who have obtained power and plunder
with your assistance ? They, and they
only, are the legitimate fruits of your war
on the South. Your war, as you call it,
made the appearance of these cowardly
and drunken thieves possible in public
life, and you still glory in it! You
even belittle white men (Democrats as
well as Republicans), in and out of
Congress, in ordor to elevate your ebo
ny idol! In commenting on the debate
on the atrocious Civil Right bill,” in
the House of Representatives, you
take occasion to say that “the first
speech was made by Lynch, one of the
colored men from Mississippi, and
would have done credit to any member
on the floor.” And this is the speech
which you applaud :
Mr. Butler yielded the remainder of his
hour to Mr. Lynch (Rep., Miss.), who pro
ceeded to advocate the bill in a written
speech. He declared that the colored peo
pie did not want social rights. They had
enough of them already. What they wanted
was protection in their public rights. If on
the way between Mississippi and Washing
ton he passed by railroad through the
God-forsaken States of Kentucky and Ten
nessee, he was not treated as a human be
ing. but as a brute; and was compelled to
occupy a smoking-car night and day, with
drunkards and gamblers. If the colored
people were not protected in their public
rights, then our boasted civilization was a
fraud, republican institutions a failure, the
far^e 1 system a disgrace, and religion a

porary, the New York Times, an ac

cannot accuse your Black Republican
neighbor of overdrawing the picture to
the prejudice of your “ebony idol.” if
the Times tell the truth, then you and
others like you, who are in favor of

[Atlanta Constitution.
THE SUPREME COURT.
An Important Decision.
John S. Linton vs. Mayor and Council
of Athens. Equity, from Clarke.
Warner, C. J.
This was a bill filed by the complain
ant against the defendant, praying for
an in j unction to restain the collection
of a tax execution issued by the defen
dant against the complainant’s pro
perty on the gound that the tax is
illegal. When the motion for an in
junction came on to be heard the de
fendant demurred to the complainant's
bill for want of equity. The court sus
tained the demurrer and the com
plainant excepted. The complainant
alleges that he is a farmer by occupa
tion, and in order to carry on ’ said oc
cupation, he, many years ago, purchas
ed a valuable tract of land in the county
of Clarke, situated about one mile and
a half from the center of the city of
Athens, and is now engaged in the
occupation of said land solely for agri
cultural purposes ; that in 1815 the cor
porate limits of the town of Athens
was extended one mile in every direc
tion from the college chapel; that in
1842 the limits of said town of Athens
were extended to prevent the sale of
liquors and establishment of lewd
houses in close proximity to Frank
lin College, situated in * said town,
and not for the purpose of in
creasing the municipal revenue ; that in
1872 the General Assembly passed an
act amending the charter of the town
of Athens, making it a city, the au
thority and jurisdiction of which was
extended a distance of two miles in
every direction from the college chapel.
It wiil be noticed that the complainant
does not allege in his bill what dis
tance 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 corporate limits
of the town were extended two miles
from the college chapel, and the act of
1872 does not extend the limits of the
city of Athens any further than the
corporate limits of the town of Athens
were extended by the act of 1842, nor
does the complainant allege at what
time he purchased the land, but it was
conceded in the argument that he
purchased it subsequent to the year
1842. The complainant alleges in his
bill that he is annually subjected to the
payment of a tax of $99.10 on his land
by the municipal corporation, without
deriving anv benefit therefrom, as no
part of his land is required for
streets, or houses, or any other pur
pose connected with the municipal or
ganization by the city of Athens, but
is used by men exclusively for agricul
tural purposes, and that the result of
the imposition of said tax on his land
is to take his private property for pub
lic use, without any compensation
whatever, and therefore the law which
imposes the tax upon his land within
the corporate limits of the city is un
constitutional and void. The power of
taxation is vested in the sovereign au
thority of the State. No constitutional
government can exist without it; its
exercise is esssntial to the very exist
ence of the State government. As was
said by Chief Justice Marshall, in the
case of the Providence Bank vs. Bil
lings, 4th Peters Reports, 561: It re
sides in the government as part of it
self, and need not be reserved where
property of any description, or the
right to use it in any manner, is grant
ed to individuals or corporate bodies.
However absolute the right of any in
dividual may be, it is still in the nature
of that right, that it must bear a
portion of the public burdens, and
that portion must be determined
by the Legislature. This vital pow
er. may be abused; but the inter
est, wisdom and justice of the repre
sentative body, and its relations with
its constituents, furnish the only se
curity against unjust and excessive
taxation, as well as against unwise
taxation.” By the Constitution of this
State, the power of taxation over the
whole State shall be exercised by the
General Assembly only to raise revenue
for the support of the government, to
pay the public debt, to provide a gen
eral school fund, for common defense,
and for public improvement; and taxa
tion on the property shall be ad valo
rem only and uniform on all species of
property taxed. The General Assembly
may grant the power of taxation to the
county authorities, and municipal cor
porations, to be exercised within their
several territorial limits. There is no
pretense, that the land of the com
plainant which is taxed is not within
the territorial limits of the munici
pal corporation, and that it was with
in those limits when he purchased
it, or that the rate of taxation is
greater than is authorized by the
charter of the city, or that it has not
been assessed upon the ad valorem and
uniform principle as required by the
Constitution, but the complaint is, that
in as much as he has no use for the
municipal organization, and in as much
as it is of no practical benefit to him,
therefore, to tax his land ninety dollars
a year for the benefit of the corpora
tion, is taking his private property for
public use without compensation, and
the law which authorizes the assess
ment and collection of the tax on his
land within the limits of the corpora
tion, is unconstitutional and void. Tax
laws, as well as all other general laws,
sometimes operate harshly in indi
vidual cases, and we suppose always
will, owing to the imperfection of
human legislators. A man living with
in the limits of a municipal corpora
tion of large property, who has no
children to educate, might think it
hard and unjust that his property
should be taxed to raise a school fund
to educate other people’s children. So
a man living within the limits of a
municipal corporation, who had no use
for a street railway, might think it
hard that his property should be
taxed to build one. In these cases,
and many others which might be cited,
the individuals whose property might
be taxed, would have no more personal
interest in the special object for which
the tax was levied, than the complain
ant has in the municipal corporation of
tho city of of Athens and its organiza
tion. The question of taxation is one
of power, and the exercise of it is vest
ed in the law-making department of the
Government, and when 'that depart
ment has exercised its judgment in re
lation to the assessment of taxes, the
courts have no power to interfere on
the ground that the tax is unfair or
unjust, unless the fundamental law of
the land has been violated. The col
lection of all taxes is, in a certain sense,
the taking of private property for the
use of the public, and the case made
by the complainant does not consti
tute an exception to the general rule.
Taxing his property within the limits
of the city for the benefit of the munic
ipal corporation is no more taking pri
vate property for the use of the public
tax * n ß °f -a man’s property
who had no children, to raise a fund
GUA... WEDNESDAY MORNING. FEBBUAEY 17, 1875.
for the education of other people’s
children within the corporate limits of
the city, would be the taking of private
property for the use of the public. It
is nothing more than the exercise of
the sovereign authority of the State,
its legislative will upon the subject of
taxation, an inherent power which be
longs to the State. It is true this great
power of taxation may be abused by
the law-making power of the State, but
the remedy for such abuse is in the
vigilance of the people over the con
duct of their representatives in making
extravagant expenditures, and taxing
the people for the payment thereof.
By the Constitution, the General As
sembly of this State have power to
make all laws and ordinances consist
ent with the 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 As
sembly deemed it necessary and proper
to extend the corporate limits of the
town of Athens two miles in every di
rection from the college chapel.
Whether this was done for the
benefit of Franklin College, or for
other reasons satisfactory to the law
making power, it is not material to
inquire. In 1872, the General Assembly
in amending the charter confirmed the
extension of the corporate limits of the
city as the same existed by the act of
1842. The act of 1872 did not extend
the limits of the corporation so as to
embrace more territory than was in
cluded by the act of 1842. By the act
of 1872, the Mayor and Council of the
city of Athens had full power and au
thority to levy and collect an annual
tax of not exceeding one per centum
upon the value of all the property with
in the corporate limits of said city
of whatever kind, real or personal,
which is or may be subject to taxation
by the laws of this State. The com
plainant’s land was within the corpor
ate limits of the town of Athens when
he purchased it, and is now within the
corporate limits of the city of Athens
under the amended charter. It is not
pretended that the tax assessed on the
land is more than one per centum on
its value, or that the land is not within
the corporate limits of the city; yet
this court is asked to declare this law
imposing the tax on the com
plainant’s land unconstitutional and
as void because he has no use for the
corporation, and it is of no benefit to
him, and to require him to pay the tax
in obedience to the laws of the State,
will be to take his private property for
the use of the publia without compen
sation—the reply is, that the sovereign
authority of his State has declared by
her constitutional legislative enactment
that she deems it necessary and pro
per, for her welfare, that he should
pay the tax assessed upon his land,
and therefore it is his duty as one of
her citizens to pay it, whether in his
judgment he will be benefitted by its
payment or not. If each individual
tax-payer should refuse to pay the tax
imposed upon his property by the sov
ereign authority of the State, because,
in his judgment, he would not be bene
fited by its payment, there would not
be much tax money collected. Several
cases decided in some of the Western
States of the Union were cited on the
argument by the plaintiff in error. The
principle decided in those cases is,
that although the courts do not
hold the legislative enactment im
posing taxes to be absolutely void,
but only hold that the courts have
the power to limit the< taxing power
of the State when, in their judg
ment, upon a given state of facts,
the individual whose property is
taxed derives no benefit from the ob
ject for which the tux is imposed—then
they will enjoin the collection of such
taxes. In other words the practical
effect of these decisions is, for the
courts of the State, to assume and de
cide what taxes are necessary, and
proper, for the welfare of the State, in
stead of the Legislative Department of
the State government. Cooley, on
Constitutional Limitations, 501, after
citing several of those .cases, remarks
in a note, that “It would seem as if
there must be great practical difficul
ties, if not some of principle, in making
this disposition of such a one.” In Mc-
Culloch, vs. Maryland, 4, Wheaton’s
R., 430, Chief Justice Marshall said :
“It is unfit for the Judicial Depart
ment to inquire what degree of taxa
tion is the legitimate use, and what
power.” By the constitution of this
State, the Legislative, Executive, and
Judicial Departments shall be distinct,
and each department shall be confided
to a separate body of magistracy. No
person or collection of persona being of
one department shall exercise any
power propeily attached to either of
the others, except in cases herein ex
pressly provided. It follows, therefore,
that in this State at least, inasmuch as
the power to levy and collect taxes is
vested in the General Assembly, that it
would, in the language of Chief Justice
Marshall, be unfit for the judicial de
partment of the State government, to
inquire whether the law-making power
of the State has acted wisely or un
wisely, justly or unjustly, in taxing the
property 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 Frederick vs. the
City Council of Augusta, sth Georgia
Reports 561. In that case, that court
held that when the law-making power
acts within the scope of its delegated
authority, the courts cannot interfere.
It is the duty of the judicial tribunals
of the country to execute and enforce
all constitutional laws, and not to make
them. The remedy against the effect of
oppressive legislation, delegated to mu
nicipal corporations, is in the hands of
the people or their representatives. But
the argument for the plaintiff in error
in the case now before us, as we under
stand it, is that the tax upon the com
plainant’s property is not unconstitu
tional because it is unjust and oppres
sive, but as the municipal corporation
of the city of Athens, which he is taxed
to maintain is of no benefit to him, it is
unjust and oppressive to compel him
to pay a tax on his property for its
support, and therefore the law which
compels him to do so is unconstitu
tional, because it takes his property for
the use of the public without compen
sation. The reply is, that the taxation
of property within the corporate limits
of the city of Athens, was a question
for the legislative department of the
government to decide, and not a ques
tion for the courts. We find no error
in sustaining the demurrer to the com
plainant’s bill.
Let the judgment of the court below
be affirmed.
