Yesterday uring the consideration of a r.lim o 1PS f Halifax' aSaiQst the State, Mr. Goodwyn made a good hit on Mr. Brown, of Davidson. It happened thuswise: Mr. R hni noor several times in ODDositinn t aim and discussed the Rtfltnt nt i;,: tation very extensively.

When the bill tn rnnarvllrla to ttiA North Carolina Narrow Guage Railroad with the" Chester & Lenoir Narrow Guage Railroad of S.

It authorizes the Caroli Gauge Railroad Company, upon consent oi me stockholders ot paid company, to consolidate with the Chester and Le noir. Narrow Gauge Railroad Company, oi Douin uarolina. as well as with any other narrow gauge railroad company that may be chartered by that State, to build a railroad from Chester to the North Carolina line. 2nd. The question of consolidation shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Carolina Narrow Guage Railroad Company, within six months from the passage of this act. drd, I he consolidated company may assume such corporate, name as the stockholders of the two companies may gree upon. There ii nothing, that I know of at all objectionable in this bill ; its object being the creation of railroad facilities for a verv productive portion of the the State. I trust it will be allowed to pass to its several readings to-day. Supreme Court Decisions. Opin ions were filed by the Justices yesterday in the following cases : By Pearson, C. J. John L.

C. r. s. pullen and others vs. board of City Commissioners of Raleigh. This case was heard before Judge Watts, at Chambers, on Saturdayjast. Messrs. Moore & Galling appeared for plaintiffs' and Messrs. J. C. L. Harris and T. M. Argo for the defendants. The following is the Judge's decision : Battle & Sons, Moore & Gatling, for plaintiffs; J. C. L. Harris, City Attor ney, and T. M. Argo, for City of Ral eigh. This case having been submitted by the parties upon the facts agreed with out action, aud having heard the argu ments of couusel for, plaintiffs and de. fendants, I decide as follows : The city of Raleigh being a muni cipal corporation organized and acting under a charter grauted by the State, which is made part of the case agreed, claims the right under section 9. art. VII, of the State Constitution and its charter above referred to, to levy a tax, upon all solvent credits and securities held by persons residing ia said city. The plaintiffs contend that the city authorities have no such power but can only tax property in the now limited sense, excluding from the meaning of the word property the ehosea in action and securities spoken of above. The case does not contain the affida vits required by sec. 315, C. C. P., to show that the controversy is real and the proceedings in'good faith to deter mine the right of the parties, and is otherwise imperfectly stated. But as the controversy is no doubt real and in volves questions of importance and in terest to the parties, I will proceed to decide it according to my view of the law. The case is : The plantiffs are citizens and residents within the corporate limits of the city of Raleigh, over whom and their property the authorities cf said city have legal power and authority under the constitution and laws of the State. These parties own certain sol vent credits and securities upon which the city authorities have assessed a tax lor city purposes. The amount and kind of this property and tax assessed are not stated. The question is there fore presented, have the authorities ot the city a right to levy a tax for city pur poses upon the solvent credits and se curities owned bv . the plantiffs and others and like conditions. Sec. 9,Art. 7, of the constitution provides that "all taxes levied by any county, citv, town or township shall be uniform and ad- valorem uponc all property in the same except property exempt by this consti tution." It is contended for the defen dants that this is a constitutional pro vision for the taxation of all property by the city authorities and providing further tho way in which this tax shall, be levied. For the plaiutiffs it is con tended the word property here used must be taken in its restricted sense and was not intended to embrace choses in action and securities of : the kind men tioned or intended herein. My opinion is, that this section was intended to declare timply the manner in which municipal corporations should levy texes, to wit: that they should be "uniform and advalorera," and not to declare the subjects to be taxed by them. This was to be done by other parts of the Constitution where the general sub ject of taxation was treated of and pro vided for, and by general laws passed under the Constitution by the Legisla ture on this subject. And by Sec. 4 Art. 8, general power is given to the Legislature to provide for the organiza tion of cities, towns, etc., and to restrict their power of taxation, etc. This seems to give general control to the Legisla ture on the subject of municipal corpo rations, and the Legislature may under it restrict the power of taxation by these corporations as it may think proper, due regard being had to other parts of the Constitution. Mv pinion, there fore, is, that the right of the defendants to levy this tax does not depend on, and is not controlled by the said 9th Section of 7th Article of the Constitution, but must depend on the Charter, granted by the Legislature to this corporation, or the general law of the State in relation to towns, etc. Upon the examination of the Charter and this general law, I am of the opinion that no sugIi power as that now claimed by the defendants is granted by either. : My decision therefore is that the plaintiffs have iudgrnent. that the de hfendants nave no right to tax solvent credits and securities, and that such tax is illegal, S.

Died at his residence in Wake county, January 18th, Charles F. Johns, Esq., after a long and very painful illness, which he bore with singular patience and fortitude. In all the relations of life, as a son, a brother, a husbaud, a friend and a neighbor, he was not merely biameless, but exemplary. His last days were solaced by all that the most tender affection and assiduous attention could bestow on the part of those who loved mm Den, ana whom ne, in his turn, most prized and cherished. In his last hours, he united with his kindred and Pastor in earnest supplication to God. Sunday, his mortal remains were committed to the grave in the presence of a large number of sympathizing Iriends. So teach us to re- memoer our ways that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. J. M. A.

Mr. Dunham could not support the bill for several reason s. First he did not see why such a charter would be neces sary, when the charter of the railroad named gave it the power it asked for. Second it was granting excessive power to foreign corporations, &c. Mr. Grandy replied at a considerable length, asking the opponents of the bill to show where the power wasjexcessive, and he would go against it. Also he (Mr. Dunham) could offer an amcHdment to cover his objections. He (Mr. Grandy) could not ?ee where the power was ex-, cessive, and would support the bill.
