Taxability of Government Bonds, Tho World of Saturday publishes a longthy opinión from tho Hem. Georgo T. Curtia3, (reoognized as one of the most profound coustitutioaiil lawyers in the country,) prepared a year ugo, in regard to tho taxabiaty of govenmient bonds. Mr. Curtiss concludes, as the result of a careful esamination of the subject, that the Dational banks are not, as oorporatioDS, taxable by State nuthority, and also concedes that stocks of the United States are not subject to taxation by tho States. JBut he shows by lucid and coguot reasooiug, that although tho corporations are not taxable by the States, tha property of eitiaeos in their shares is subject to the same liabilities as the general mass of personal property ; and also that the income of dividends from euch sharos can be taxed by the States in whieh they are owned. Shares in the stook of a national bank are the propcrly of tho holder, subject, likc otlier property, to regulation by Stute lawa. This property creates uo relatiou'between the holder and the general government wbich a tax would impair. The corporation is an agent of the goveru.neut in its fiscal opemtion ; the federal stocks it buya are evidences of a contract to wbich the governvucot is a party; hut tha shareholders are neither ageuts of the goverument nor parties to a contract with it, and do not therefore come within the operation of the principies on which exceptions are made to rest. We do not repeat Mr. Curtisa' reasoning, but ouly state the conclusious to which it leads kim.
