The following is the opinion as de
livered by Chief Justice Sinith in the
case of Barksdale vs.. Commissioners
from Sampson county : '
1 Tbe general assembly shall levy a
capitation tax on every male inhaoi
tant of the State over, twenty one
and under fifty years of age, which
shall be equal on each to the tax on
property valued i at: three hundred
aollars in cash. The commissioners
of the several counties - may exempt
from capitation tax in special cases,
on account of prverty mfir mi ty ; and
the State and county capitation tax
combined shall ' never exceeed two
dollars; on tke head. Cons., art. 5,
sec. 1. . .
."Each county shall be divided into
a convenient number of districts in
which one" or more public schools
shall vbe maintained v at ' least four
months in every year ;and if the com
missioners of any county shall fail to

The levy finds no support in sec
6, of art. 5, for this is no$ one for a
y special purpose and, with the special
approval of the general assembly"
for county purposes. The enactment
is general applicable to? the whole
State and part of the "general State
legislation in furnishing facilities for
the education of its people. It can
not find shelter- under any .ot the
numerous ' adjudications : sustaining
the power to tax beyond the assigned
restraints and in disregard of the es
tablished j: ratio' between State ' and
county taxation which will be found
at the foot of the section:. This pow
er of taxation is local as well as spe
cial and such has been the legisla
tive interpretatiom of this clause in
the frequent cases in which a special
approval has been asked and obtain

1 These cases settle the extent of the
taxing po wer, when exercised by the.
county authorities, andllow its re
straints only to be disregarded when
the tax is needed to meet obligations
existing, before the adoption of the
constitution1 by virtue of - the'eonsti
tutionof the United States and decide
that the limitations do not apply' to
other municipal corporations created
by;; lawi s fM-tXt-P'Mi
v Our decision Tests upon: the inter
pretation heretofore repeatedly given
to the clause that directs the imposi
tion of a poll taxf eaual to that imnos
ed upon property valued for taxation
at fdoo, by which the taxes are both
nus associated and arrested when on
he poll they reach the maximum" of
$2, v If the construction of the consti
tutional provision were an open ques
ion we might pause to thus limit the
taxing power upon property, a re
straint found, as Mr. Justice Rodman
saj s in his separate opinion at the
end of the 66th volume of the Re
ports, page .659, ' exists in no other
State, and which has so crippled the
action of the general Assembly in its
course of J legislation for the public
good," and. -disables it; for -want of
uieaos, to ao many inings . wnicn ine
constitution requires, such as pro
viumg lor. me interest on ine ! state
debt and a sinking fund to discharge
the principal, to do which it has been
necessary to break through the re
straints to discharge an obligation to
creditors and hot impair the contracts
from which ; they spring. " There was
a propriety . in fixing a limit to the
poll tax; because the fund raised from
this source is appropriated exclusive-
y to. two objects,1 the support of the
poor and the. providing the means of
ree education, but it was impractica
ble to foresee the needs of the State
for moneys for its future manage
ment. v-.V- v' .
And it is to be observed that the
equation is only , to determine the
measure of the personal or poll tax so
long as it can be levied for the special
objects mentioned and up to its fixed
lmits. This mode of interpretation
would have avoided all the . difficult
ies growing out of the want of pow
er to tax and escaped the present
conflict.' But we are bound by con
tinuous adjudications to which legis
lation has been ad justed and we are
not free to unsettle them. But as the
repugnance of the provisions under
consideration is mamtest, the corns
missioners must refrain from assess
ments, ho wever necessary for schools
which pass the bounds of conferred
power. -' We therefore sustain the
ruling of the court below. , ,

A Cure For IlydropUofeia. ,
v Since the discovery by Pasteur, the
amous French chemist, of what thus
ar has appeared to be a safe and sure
reventive of that dreadful disease,
ydrophobia, many others have come
forward t with cures, ; and preventas
tives which they claim to be equally
efficacious,-, The last of these is Dr.
Toal, a New York physician; who
sends to-the oun a -remeay tor hy
drophobia, which he claims has cured
at least one terrible case, and .possi
bly prevented many others.' The
treatment .is very, simple ana tne
remedy within the reach, of all in
every civilized country in the world.
Tha treatment of the wound and. the
internal remedy are as follows: : !
Wound to be cauterized with strong
nitric acid, and then dressed with i
drachm of bella donna ointment and
7i drachms of resin.
In the case oi an aauit tne tonow
mg internal remeuy is to ue tasen: .j
K Kali Iodid . .3 drachms,
.. Tinct. Cinchona .-.2 ounces,
Sirup Simplex . . . .4 ounces.
" One tablespoonful after each meal.
: For children irom i to 7 years old
half a teaspoonful is a sufficient dose,'
and from 7 to l years old, irom one
to two teaspoonf uis. rutting .it - in
other wdrds, itwa to "five ! grains for
a child under. 7,C and five grains . for.
one under 12 years. This treatment
is to be followed tor one wees:, even
when the dog is not mad, as the virus
of an angry dog produces nydropno-
bia. ' ' - "
When rabies 13 manifest, the treat
ment is to-be continued for three
weeks. In such a case the fiuid can
be in jected with good; effect in" doses
of from fifteen to thirty grains every
