WASHINGTON NOTES. WASHINGTON , April 20. The supreme court of the United States rendered a decision to day in the Virginia coupon tax sales which was unfavorable to the bondholders nnd ngalnst the stats in nil material points. TRIAL OF A JURY FOREMAN-SUl'REUB COURT DECISIONS. The trtnl of Win. Diokeon , foreman of the jury which was known as the first star route trial , indicted for "corruptly endeavoring to influence the jurors , " was begun in the crim inal court to-day. The United States supreme court rendered nn important decision to-day in a group of cases known as the Virginia coupon cases , in volving the validity of the recent legislation of that state , with reference to the payment of the state taxes in coupons of the state's bonds. The decision was against the state , and In favor of the land holders on all mater ial points. The court holds tba't all legisla tion of the state which attempts to evade the obligation under which it rests , to receive the coupons of its bonds in payment of state taxes is unconstitutional and void because it Impairs the obligation of the contract ; that a tax-payer having once made a due tender of the -uponn in payment of his taxes , is under no obligation to pay the said taxes in money but may rest securely upon his right to have the coupons received when offered , nnd that a Inx collector who attempts thereafter to forci bly collect nuch taxes by levying upon tha taxpayers' property , is not shielded by the legislation of the state , but makes the at tempt at his personal peril. The opinion was delivered by Justice Matthews and the chief justice. Justices Bradley , Miller and Gray dissented , Justice Bradley delivering the dis senting opinion.
