Most of the Objeotors Are Fighting Special Assessments, Why the National Banks Have Not Paid Their Taxes. Objections Made by Private Par ies to Paying Up.

It docs not specify the amounts which are contested, individually rasa whole, and fs doos not show whois fighting a special arecasment, and who his general taxer, It {a eatimated that tha quantily of goveral toxes reaiated doce not exceed 7300,00, ‘The stnount of the specials fought ie unknown, and the Comptrojice declared hls inability to give the information within twenty-four houra at loant, It is ou of the deferts of civic buok keeping that it is nlways unable to givo desired tnfor- mation In less than aday, All the parties represented by Tuley, Stiles & Lewia ara fighting special assene~ ments, Thy other cases are mixed, but the specials predominate, TNE NATIONAL BANKS are put down on owning $155,541.69, chiefly tho person- aleproperty tax for 1872 and 1872, In 1872 and R73 tho banks were assessed on thelr capilal stock, They inainted that the shares of stock ahowld ho arsesmed and taxed where the owners lived, and not where the bank iteolf was lucated, and they also declared that tho taxes, apocially heavy on account of the South Park, woro exorbitant, They went to tho Federa! Court, and Judge Blodgett granted injunctions restraining tho collection, The cases wore sppealed, Subsequently tho Bupremo Court of Ilinols «decided that shares of tock inust bo Hetod, not where the owner lived, but vhore the corporation aJd business, and therefore, when in January, 1974, the South Town Collector attempted to collcet thie personal tax of the banks for 1873, Judge Blodsett refused them the injunctions they asked for, and they pald, under protest, admitting the reanmable- ness of the tax, but alleging that they feared that shares ond by a person Hving in Springfeld might ‘be Hsted in bis name there, and againit the bank here, ond that double taxation would thus eusuo, While in other cases the Federal Snpretao Court has sustained the decision of the Tiuois Courts relative to taxing sharon, it Is belioved the appealed casre of two years ago yet remalp on the calendar, A few banks have not paid their 1679 taxes for manifest receons, OLNER TAXES.

HAS THZ POPE POWER TO DEPOSe KINGS? From the Sitesian People’s Gazette (organ of the Hrince-Dishop of Bresiau), — « Wo aenert that even to-day the Popo bas tho power to inatall Kings, and may be feel called tipon onco more to oxorclso it, All German, Kings and Princes are the Popo's; truo indeed, they have been baptized with water and in the namo of the Triune God. But snpposo Sthat a King should prohibit us to recognize a vepe legitimately elected as the spiritual hoad of tho Church (compare Bismarc’s dinpatch to Count Aruim, dated 14th May, 1842), or is_dotermined, by force, to make of us Old or Btate Catho- licen; in those tustnnces wo do not know why tho Popo should not once more exercise the ‘or given him by Christ. If Se, Grogory of Nazianzon doclared al! Bishops to bo magistrates, aud that tho law of Christ had sub- jected the Princes, too, to their sovereignty, how mnch mofo, tlion, do the Popes possess hig sov- ersignts, and in excoptional cases and omer- gencios may draw the sword for the good of the Church, as well as may bo forced to declare: “ The firm of that Princo, under the firm-namo of " by the grace of God,” has become bankrupt, tho house has failed, its chief is under guardian- stip, being now diaabled to do ony more bnsi- ness." Accordingly, the Wopo has the power to doposo Kings. don £, Kellonay Philip Larman, Samuol J, Walker, Inaae Livingatou, Soreph Morris, Carol Gaytes, W.
