A decision of the utmost Importance was made to day by the United States Court concerning the State debt. Judge Bond holds 1. That a tender of coupons far taxes Is a leiral tender, and that the eonseqnences which flow from any other legal tender flow from this, and that this is in effect the Supreme Court decision. 2. That the officers of the State will be enjoined from levying on the tax payers' property after tender ot the coupon.

3. That as questions in these suits depend upon the constitutionality of the State's legislation, the suits arise under the constitution and the Circuit 'Courts of the United States have jurisdiction of them without regard to citizenship of the parties. If the decision stands it would seem the State can collect no more revenue until she provides for coupons. Isaagnratiaa of Hob. J.
