MERCHANTS' PURCHASE TAX. r
The 8upreme Court's Decision in an Im
portant Matter, i
The following is the substance of tb,e
decision of the Supreme Court of the
State in the Merchants" Purchase Tax
cases, as published in the Raleigh Chron
icle, viz: - .
In the case of Stevenson, from Wil
mington, it 13 said that the tax is not on
inter-State deahngs, but. on the occupa
tion of carrying on business in thisState,
and graduates the tax on the amount of
purchase, whether made within or with
out the State. It does not discriminate
against products ot other Siates, nor
does it tax the non-resident or put him
at any disadvantage as compa ed with
a resident of this State. This te a privi
lege tax on an occyipation and is author
ized by article 5. section 3 of the State
Constitution, in addition to the ad valo
rem tax on property, and it is compe
tent for- the Legislature to im
pose such . specific tax - graduated
by the amount ot business done, ana
when it is uniform on all persons in the
same class of business. ' The act treats
all in each class alike, and there is no
discrimination in either. The power to
select particular trades and subiecttbem
to license tax cannot be denied to the
Legislature, nor the power to tax such
trades according to different rules, pro
viding the rule with regard to each busi
ness is uniform
Indeed there can be, strictly speaking,
no uniiorm tax on trades. &c, taken to
gether, because they are so dissimilar that
there is no practicable means ot arriving
at what would be a uniform tax for all.
For instance, bow could a tax be uni
form between the profession of medi
cine and keepers of ferries. &c. A fran
chise tax could be put on some callings.
and it would not be illegal becauscsome
other occupation was not taxed. It is
within the legislative power to aenne
the different classes and to fix the
license tax it will require of each , class.
All in the same occupation, as classified
by the Legislature, must be taxed alike.
The act provides that every merchant,
jeweller, &c, shall pay a license tax on
the total amount of purchases. &c. This
makes nondiscrimination in favor ot or
against any merchant. &c, but it taxes
the business of each alike.

"The Old, Old Story" An Excellent Play
by a Strong Company.
"The Old.' Old Story," a successful
society comedy drama, was presented at
I the Opera Hduse last night by one of the
strongest companies that has visited our
city this season. There seems to be no
"star" in the company, but each charac
ter stands out prominently and is excel
lently sustained by every member.
The play! is beautifully written and.
extremely fascinating and exciting. The
plot is laid in New York, and represents
many occurrences incident to stock
speculations and bank transactions in
that great city.
After earnest solicitations on the part
I of the- Of;era House management the
j cornpny WaS induced to remain over
and tive another performance to-night.
This can certainly be deemed a real favor
to the Wdnington theatre-goers, and
nnnp will mis it who desire to see a
charming drama charmingly portrayed
by an extra well supported company.
Certainly no more pleasing, nor more
generally praiseworthy performance ot a
good play has been given here in many a
day than that of last evening. To-night
should witness a large audience as
sembled and our wod for it a delighted
one will leave the entertainment.
Reserved seats may be had at Yates'
this morning.

large and ample. : They have a front of
ninety-six feet on Market street, extend
