'What subtle pul=e is in thy blood, -
Poor bird; that teaches thee to sing,
That tells thee that the fair-eyed Spring
Again to these rough shores is - wooed ?
Bow dolt thou know that skies are fair,
Close pent within a curtained room ?
light canst thou argue from thy gloom,
'nu and rapture of the air?
I know that home-bound swallows flit
Across the, optd of the sky,
My brain is servant to my eye;
But how hadst thou a hint of it?
How eanst thou know that ash-buds swell,
That 'violets peep in sweet surprise,
By what sense (lost thou recograze

To human thc -.,:ht a blessed thing,

When Sprino with all her wealth, is mine,
And the widp world's aglow for me.

The tonal number of petitlohs and communications
Were received, ernong them the fallowing,:
A communication from the Managers ot the House
ot Being° thanking Connells. for the additional ac
commodatione to that institution:-
By Mr. Plumly, a petition from storekeepers and
property owners on North Second street asking for
the removal of the curbstone marketil ,that street

By Mr. Cartel!, a resolution asking Councils to pro
test against the opening of Twenty-fourth street
through . olrard College grounds.
,SColonel Page *feted a reaohnion that Councils ex
mese their dissent of the act of Assembly which re.
•quires the opening of this street.
Mr. Smith asked that, the subject he laid over and
mule tee. special order for next Thuraday.
Colonel Peg° opposed any such diepositlon of the
resolution, bat pressed it for, decieton. The bill,
without any notice to the Managers Of the Girard
Estate, without any information being given to Coun
•cile. was pressed through the Legislature by a single
individual. This sea WAS passed upon the representa
tions of certain interested parties. It ware objection
.able and in violation of the contract entered into be
tween the State and the City of Philadelphia upon
thie,kbject of Girard College.
MY, vatted hoped that the resolution would not be
postponed. It was the unanimous oinion of the
•Committee on Girard Estate that Co p uncils should
•exereas their dissent to the act of Assembly.
Mr. Fox would vote for a postponement, in order
that the whole subject might be properly examined.
as it was to the interest of the city. that etreet should
he opened through the estate. As it now is, we hedge
off. Aro or eight squares of valuable property, and if
there is evidence that the barrier deteriorates from
the value of a certain section of the city, and keeps
•down the revenue to the clty,the objectionable feature
should be removed. ,
Colonel Page read, in support of his position, the
preamble and resolutions introduced,by himself on a
former occasion. which cited the eleventh section of
an old act ,of Assembly, to wit: "Ttutt no fold or
street shall be laid out, or pass through the land in
the County of Philadelphia becineathed by the late
Stephen Girard for the erection of the collegb, unless,
the same shall be recommended by the trainees or di
rectors of the said college, and approvedof by the Seleet
and Common Councila of Philadelphia." . This was
the contract entered into between the State and the
testator, by which any act looking to the division of
these grounds should only be by recommendation and
approval of the Trustees and Councils.
The question upon postponement was called and
loot. The resolution was then peered.

THE COURTS.
The Tax on Vapq►ltal stock—litstportant
neelston.
In the Supreme Conrt Judge Agnew has de
livered the following opinion :
The Piurnix Iron Company vs. the Ceinmonwealth.
Error to the Common Pleas of Dauphin County.
The important question in this case is, whether a
tax upon capital stock. imposed by the acts of 29th
April. 1844, Purdon 949, fotio 118, and 12th April, 1859.
Pludon 951, folio 127, is a taxon dividends, within the
meaning of the words 'not paying' a tax to the State
upon dividends under existing taste," contained fa
the 2d section of the act of 30th -April, 1804, Pardon
1,817, folio 3. The tax on dividends is a Woll-knowa
mode of raising revenue for the State, upon
banks....
Theand was confined in its origin eitietly to banks.
The act of April 1,1835,T. is hat a reitera
tion of the tame mode Of taxatiou, subjected the.
banks of tee Commonwealth to a graduated tax
directly,upon their dividende, increasing in propor
tion, from eight to eleven per ce ea In all isitbseq dent
cbartere the same mode Of taxation was parsec&
The general banking act of 10th of April, 18.50, section
21, Tendon 29, toile 84. and the act relating to bank
ing companies of Ist ot May, 1861, section 23, pardon
Ere, folio 28, laid taxes upon dividends in like ineuner,
but increasing the graduation until it rose to thirty
per cent. tax on a twenty-Ave per cent. dtvldend.
'Pim act for the incorporation of iron manufacturing
companies, of . loth of June, 1830, section 10, Purdon
5 70 1 folio 11, also imposed a tax on dividends of
dont per cent. 'ln all instances of a tax upon diet
deeds it was laid directly upon the, dividend itself
without reference to the stock: e. g on dividends not
exceeding six per cent.. eight per cent: exceeding sit,
nine percent., &c., etc. hut the act of 29th of April,
1844, section 33, charged the tax which it imposes di
rectly apon the capital stock of the corporations of
thia State. If the company declared a dtvtdead or
Pputt of six per cent. upon the capital, tho tax was to
ie measured at the rate of one-half mill on each one
per cent. of the dividend or profit: but when the cor
poration failed to make dividends, or declared less
than six per cent, per annum, thou a valuation'of the
stock itself was to be made and returned and the tax wilt
to he "a sum equal.to three mills upon every dollar of
the value of the capital stock thereof, so estimated
and appraised." It the corporation had not sufficient
funds, to pay the tax the cashier or treasurer was to
notify the stockholders to pay the same in proportion
to their stock, and on failure eo much mach of their
stock would besold as was required to pay their pro
portion, The first section of the act of April 12,1859,
also imposed a tax on the capital stock, but changed
the act of /844 so far ae, instead of a valustion of the
stock when the,dividend fell below six per cent. to re
quire payment of the tax at the rate of a half mutter
each one per cent. of the dividend made or declared,
and provided for the valuation of the stock according
makeoct of 1844, only when the corporation failed to
or declare any divideed. The first proviso in
this section itself makes the distinction between the
two species of taxes. It declares "That any institution
or company (except banks of issue) now liable for a
tax on capital stock, as also upon dividends, shall
from henceforth be exempt from any tax upon
dividends." Of course it remained liable to
the tax on capital stock. The die.
tinction was still kept up by the act of 24tte of
March, lee°. (Pardon, 956. fol. 158), which relieved
banks of discount and deposit and saving institutions,
which had been placed by the act of 1859 on the same
footing with the banks of issue, from the tax on their
div dende The meaning of a tax on dividends was
thus well known in the legislation of the State, and,
therefore when the act of Vela April, ip64, subjected
all curvy ations to a tax on their earnings or income,
except those paying a tax on dividends, it was clearly
not intended to exempt from the new tax those
Inertly paying a tax on their capital stock. It is not
alleged that the Phenix Iron Company pays any tax
on dividende as such further than the tax on capital
graduated by their dividends under the act of 1859,
would be considered. As the tax on capital is not to
be so considered, the consequence is that this iron
company was properly rated. with its earnings or in
come tax. The rate of interest upon the balance found
due for taxes was correctly adjudged by the Court
below, under the provisions of the act of 9th of April,
18.67, P. L. 58. Finding no error in the record, the
lodgment is affirmed •
For the Commonwealth, Attorney-General Brewster
and Deputy attorney• General Newlin.
For defendant, Joseph B. Townsend anti Hon. Jobs
C. Kunkel.
