A very important decision was pronounced by Judge Stnone, in the United States Cir. cuit Court at Philadelphia, en the 13th inst. Tho question was whether the profits upon certain United States Londs bought in 1864 by Mr. DanttnoTon of West Chester, and sold in 1869, could be taxed as income. The Com Amissioner of Internal Revenue had held that ‘they were income, and the tax upon them was paid by Mr. Dantincton under protest. On the argument before Judge Strone of the Supreme Court, Judge McKewnan of the euit Court, and Judge Capwanapen of the District Court of Pennsylvania, Mr. Dan LINGTON urged that this profit did not arise in 1800; that poesibly no part of it arose then ; that, in fret, the bends had attained a higher value before that year than he tually eold them for; and that, therefore, all th profit war not income of 1869, nor avcer able incom: of 7 The Court unani. mously decided in favor of Mr. Danninaton ; and, as the District Attorney secmed to think, it necessarily follows thie de cision that euch a profit, ascertained only at the end of several years, cavnot be taxed at All, sinee the law imposes tax only upon annual income. A point inthis important case, to which We call the attention of all interested parties that Mr. Dan.inaTon wes able to maic lain his suit, and will finaily recover the amount of tax illegally exacted from only because he had paid it under protest As was cetablished in the case of ELLiort against SwantwourT, reported in 10 Peters 137, ao legal means can be taken for the re covery even of an unjust tax that had been paid without protest. Such payment with ut protest cither implies a conclusive assent to the exaction of the tax, or is in the nature of a gift to the Government, and the money cannot be demanded back agai is ia matter which should not be neglected by any individual or corporation from whose coupons the agents of the Government as sume to deduct an income tax before paying them, The form of the protest is not of im portance, Possil.y a yerbal protest is suffi cient; but it is more convenient that it should be in writing, so that it can alter ward be easily proved a Martin T.

After paying the expenses of a considerable quota of Spain's army, and, on an average, those of one-half of her navy, Cuba has for very many years remitted, as the net proceeds of surplus texation over the cost of her own government, sums varying from six to seven million dollars per annum. This enormous amount was, however, ground out of Cuba and Cubans in the rosy days of her greatest financial prosperity. For the last two years Cuba, of course, has been to Spain not an ex- perse, except in lives—for Spain lies no money to spend—but a dead weight, politi cally aud financially. ‘The money to carry on ler futile attempts to crush the revo. lution has been provided not by Spain, but Cuba has for years been to 8 by Spaniants a Cuba, whose oly hope was the preservation of Spanish sovereignty, with slavery and the slave trade.

Various sums have at different times been named as the price at which Spain would sell the island. They vary from one hundred and thirty to one hundred and seventy mul lions of dollar. The Cubans last year offered to pay one hundfed millions for it; and this amount, in view of the actual cir isa large one. In the first place, cumstance ths sum represents in this hemisphere, and in all tropical countries where labor is dear and capital correspondingly so, an annual nterest of at least seven millions of dollars, or about the sane eum as Spain as drawn out ¢ the island, under he most oppress system of taxation, dreet and indirect, nation or colony.
