Chief Justice Taney’s Letter on the Subject Spread on the Minutes * of the Court. Will the income tax law, if enacted, apply to the salaries of United Sta es judges? This is a question which uppears to have been answered in the negative by the Su- preme Court of the United States. There is on file in the minutes of the proceedings of the court a letter from Chief Justice Taney to the Secretary of the Treasury passing upon that point in a manner virtually amounting to a decision by the Supreme Court upon the subject. The letter of the Chief Justice, which was placed upon the minutes by order of the’ court, is as follows: Chief Jastice Tancy’s Letter. “WASHINGTON, February 6, 1863. “Sir: I find that the act of Congress of the last session imposing a tax of 3 per cent on the salaries of all officers in the employment of the United States has been construed in your department to embrace judicial officers, and the amount of the tax has been deducted from the salaries of the judges. “The first section of the third article of the Constitution provides that the judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court and such inferior courts as Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges of the supreme and inferior courts shall bold their offices during good behavior, and shall at stated times receive for their services a compensation which shall not be dimin- ished during their continuance in office. “The act in question, as you interpret it, diminishes the compensation of every judge 3 per cent, and if it can be dimin- ished to that extent by the name of a tax it may in the same way be reduced from time to time at the pleasure of the legis- lature. “The judiciary is one of the three great departments of the government, created and established by the Constitution. Its duties and powers are apecifically set forth and are of a character that requires it to be perfectly independent of the two other departments, and in order to place it be- yond the reach and above even the suspi- cion of any such influence the power to reduce their compensation is expressly withheld from Fs and excepted from their powers of legislation. “Language could not be more plain than that used in the Constitution. It 4s, more- over, one of its most important and essen- tial provisions. For the articles which limit the powers of the legislative and ex- ecutive branches of the government and those which provide safeguards for the pro- tection of the citizen in his person property would be of little use without a judiciary to uphold and maintain them which was free from every influence, direct or indirect, that might by possibility in times of political excitement warp their judgments. “Upon these grounds I regard the act of Congress retaining in the treasury a por- tlon of the compensation of the judges as unconstitutional and void; and I should not have troubled you with this letter if there was any mode by which the question could be decided in a judicial proceeding. But all of the judges of the courts of the United States have an interest in the question, and could not therefore, with propriety, under- take to hear and decide it. “I am, however, not willing to leave it to be inferred from my silence that I admit the right of the legislature to diminish in this or any other mode the compensation of the judges when once fixed by iaw, and my silence would naturally—perhaps necessarily—be looked'upon as acquiescence on my pact in the power claimed and ex- A COUNTRYMAN'S DRUNK. It Cost Him #20 in the Police Court Today. Benjamin Lawson, a young farmer from near Marlboro’, came to the city Wednesday with a load of corn. He was driving a pair of donkeys, and after disposing of the corn, he proceeded to drink some of the juice of the Kentucky crop. His mules were headed for home last evening, and it was about 8 o'clock when the German Orphan Asylum on Good Hope Hill was reached. Ben bad Jost all control of both himself and the mules and the animals insisted on entering the asylum grounds. Word was sent to the Police station and Officer Branson respond- ed to the call. When he reached the team he found Law- son lying in the wagon apparently dead, but he afterward found that he was only dead drunk. Knowing something of Law- son's reputation, the officer told Judge Mil- jer this morning that he searched him to sce if he was armed, but he had no weapon on_ him. Taking the rope reins in his hands, the officer started to drive to the station, but the “dead drunk man,” as he described him, Soon revived enough’ to give an exhibition of his pugilistic qualities. He su in Setting the officer's finger in his mouth, and the latter's club was then brought into play. Only one blow with the club was in- flicted, but it was effective. Lewson’s head had not been washed since the encounter, so that when he appeared in court he pre- sented a frightful appearance, but there was more blood than there was injury. In the struggle, however, Lawson's leg was in- jured and he walked lame this morning. Mr. ee. = counsel, filed him as an exhibit, and said he thought he had been punished enough for his conduct. The policeman in telling of the affair sald he knew of Lawson's reputation as a fighter and said he (Lawson) had killed one man. Judge Miller said that these countrymen need not expect to come to town, get drunk and then think they can take the town home with them. A fine of $20 was imposed, —_ Experiments With Kocl’s Lymph. Prof. Otto Lugger, in charge of the Min- Pesota experimental station at St. Anthony Park, Minn., has discovered from numerous experiments that if the animal is healthy no rise in temperature will follow the in- jection of Koch’s lymph, while, if afflicted with tuberculosis, ever in its incipient “ages there is an instant rise in tempera- ure. ———+o-_____ Prostrated by Her Husband’s Shame.

B. TANEY.” Hon. S. P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury. What Brought It Out. This letter was occasioned by the fact that when the income tax Jaw was put into operation during the war it was the cus- tom of the Treasury Department in paying the salaries of United States officials to deduct the amount of the tax from the salary. It appears that after receiving the foregoing letter from Chief Justice Taney the Treasury Department, not only de- sisted from further inroads upon the sal- aries of the judges, but cefunded to them the amounts that had beea deducted, evi- dently taking the letter of the Chief Jus- tice as having the force and weight of a decision by the court under the cireum- stances. There is also in the records a decision by the court holding that the salaries of state judges are exempt from taxution. This is found in the case of Buffington against Day, in 11 Wallace, 113. The Constitution provides sitailar immun- ity from taxation to the President of the United States as that claimed for the ju- diclary by Justice Tan oon Sis Transfers of Real Estate.
