&k Mmlmm aii? jloa? km WEDNESDAY, MAY ?, 1393,2 Tax Cases Finally Decided. WASHINGTON, April 24-The Stf prefije Court of the United States 1MS passed final judgment upon the South Carob" na railroad tax case?, and the decision is against the ?tate au? thorities. The case came sp on the petition of Sheriff Tyler, of Aiken county, for a writ o? habeas corpas to release bim from imprisonment on der the judgment of the Circuit Court of the United States, that he be fined $500 for contempt, ile had seized a train on the South Carolina Railroad upon . warrant issued bj the State author? ities for collection of tases which were in controversy. The road was in the bands of a receiver appointed bj the United States Court, and he was adjudged guilty ot contempt for failing to release the property under the order of the court. He came to the Supreme Court for relief. Chief Justice Fuller delivered the opinion of the court. After review? ing the history of the case, which is fully known to the public, he said that unless the order of commitment was utterly void for want of power, the application of the petitioner must be denied. Continuing, he said in substance : The property in question was tn the custody of the Circuit Court in a canse within its jurisdiction and protected by an injunction. The power exercised was to protect the property in the custody of the court l?o rul? is better settled than that, when a court has'appointed a receiv? er, his possession is the possession of the court, for the benefit of the par? ties fe the suit, and cannot be dis tur bed without the leave of the court ; and if any person'intentionally inter? feres with such possession, be neces? sarily commits a contempt of the Ordinarily the court .will not allow il* receiver to be. sued touching the property in his charge. In this case, instead of issuing an attachment against the petitioner at once for for? cibly seizing the rolling stock of this railroad, the court adopted the course of serving him with a rule to show casse and with an order restraining him from interfering with the proper? ty i The general doctrine that property in the possession of a receiver end that any one interfering is in con? tempt is conceded ; but it is contend? ed that this rule has no application to the collection of taxes. The main? tenance of the system of checks and balances characteristic of republican ?nstftations requires the co-ordinate tdepartnient8 of government, whether ?Federal or State, to refrain from any iiufsia?ement of the independence of .each-- -other, and the possession of ^eperty by the judicial department ?rniiot be arbitrarily encroached opon. The levy of a lax warrant, like the levy of an ordinary fieri lacias, se? questrates the property to answer the exigency of the writ ; but property in the possession of a receiver is al ready in sequestration and are al? ready held in equitable execution. Wrbile the lien for taxes must be re? cognized and enforced, it must be douennder the sanction of the court. It is the duty of the conrt to see to it that this is done, and seizure of property against its will is an assump? tion carrying a contempt on its face. 1Tbe courts of the United States have always recognized the import? ance of leaving the powers of the State in respect ?to taxation unim? paired. Where rthe ?Constitution and laws of the United -States are drawn question, the^casrts of the United must . determine the contro 'for themselves. Sacb wan the aspect of this case, proceeded the ?Chief Justice. The receiver had ?euied the validity of a distinctive .portion of the annual Cse, and, ander the direction of the t, had peacocked, by bill, to test lia reference to the levy for the previioos fiscal years, injunc? tion had ?eeo granted, issues made up and ?be case stood for fiual hear? ing. The alleged illegality existed in the ?evy for the current year. The receiver paid the undis? puted taxes, and upon the for? cible intervention of the col? lectors to compel payment of the bat? anee, brought the controverted point again to the attention of the court in his application fox the protection of ?he property. The reasonableness of the conten? tion that it would have been wiser, in this iostauce, for the Circuit Court to have directed the receiver to pay these taxes and bring suits at law in nine different courts against the coun? ty treasurer of as many counties, to recover them back, need not be pass? ed upon here Tue jurisdiction exercised by the Circuit Conrt bad relation to ike property in its custody, and the pro? ceeding before os relates oui j tb its exercise of power in the protection of that property from unauthorized seizure. The stress of the argument of the petitioner is placed upon the pro jposi&w that tl)ie proceeding is void, because it is a suit against a State and forbidden by the eleventh amend? ment. Bot this begs the question. The petitioner was either in con? tempt, or he was not. The property was in the custody of the Circuit Court, and if such possession could not be lawfully interfered with, the petitioner iain contempt. *2Ln<f, apart from the question of the validity cf such legislation, we know of no statute of South Carolina that attempts to seize property in the possession of the judicial department of the State, much less In that of the United States The petition for the writ cf habeas corpus is denied. The same judgment was announced in the cases of Sheriffs Riser and irairres, who came to the Supreme Court of thc United States, with Sheriff Tyler, for relief, they having also been adjudged by the Circuit Court to be guilty of contempt in levying upon the property of the Richmond and Danville Railroad Com p?ny, by order of Governor Tillman. The rendering of the decision attracted die greatest attention as it fixed once and for all the limited power of the executive when it clashes with ! the judiciary, whether Federal or 1 State. The court-room was crowded, ? chiefly by members of the bar, many of whom came from Phtladephia and New York. It is said that President Cleveland tod Secretary Carlisle are becoming Irritated at the action of the New York banks, since the Treasury has got into the pinch for free gold, these banks seeming disposed to ran the Treasury which bas been compelled to meet the demands for gold for eiporfc, notwith? standing the fact that there is gold locked np somewhere in this eosntry. It is a noticeable fact, too, tba; the offers of gold to the Treasury to help it along in the pinch bate come mostly from Western banks, which seem much more disposed to preserve the credit of the Government than the Eastern banks, and it bas been asserted that tb; action of the New York banks is inspired by a desire to force gold to a prmina and compel the Government to issue bonds wbieb could be utilized for banking capi? tal. If with $600,000,000 of gold in j the country the money newera permit the Treasury of the United States to become i embarrassed and its credit to suffer, it , will be a poor commentary on their patriotism ; but as to that they never did show much patriotism when there was a eh anee to squeeze the Treasury and make some money by lt.- Wilming? ton Star. The "blacklisting'' of Donaldson is infinitely worse than the "blacklisting" of the "Reform Congressmen.77 In the case of the Congrossmen no reflec? tion is mada on their oh sra cte r what? ever : it is only urged that they are, if not Third partyites, in such close sym? pathy with them that they ought not to be favored by a Democratic administra? tion, with whose platform they do not agree.
