An officer of the' government is bnt an agent or instrumentality of the government, by which it exists and snh instrumentality can no mor.1 be taxed thau the gov ernment itself. Nvithfr the general government or government of tb state can tax an officer of the other. Whil? there 1 no express provision in the Federal Constant ion exempting such oUlcers. snch prctection ami immunity arises by necessary implication. Since the pioneer decision of Dobbins vs. Krie County Ac. 1 Pet., thirty nine of the American States hare by the enactaient ef laws exempted the property of the United States from taxa tion bv the States. In Collector .vs. Day. 11 Wall.. 113. it was adjudged that Congress .had no power, even by an act taxing all in comes, to levy tax upon the salaries of -judicial oClcers of a state, for rea sons similar to those on which it had been held In Dobbin vs. Erie Co.. &c, that a state could not tax the officers of the United S:otes. Mr. Justice Nel son, m delivering judgment, salil: lne general government, and the states, al though ther be tli exist within the same terrlterial limits, are separate and dis tinct sovereignties, setirz separately and independently of each ether, withia their respective spterrs. It was also held In Dobbins vs. Erie Co.. &c that a tate tax on an officer of the United States, for his office, or Its emoluments, was void mainly be canse of "its interference with the con stitutional mear.s" employed by the gov ernment t execute if powers. In Weston vs. Tho C!ty of Charleston, the court speaking bv Chief Justice Marshall, again declared tbnt the state canntit by taxation or otherwise "re tard.

The central and eastern districts of lite cotton .belt, with the exception of portions of the Caro lina where drought continues, have re ceived abundant rains 'but too late to be of material benefit, while causing con siderable injury to open cotton. Some slight improvement is reported from portions of Florida and Georgia, and less premature opening from Alabama, but rust and shedding are .very general throughout the central and eastern dts- tricta.
