REPORT
Of the Commiuitmttrs appointed by authority of the
Legislature, on tie subject of tie State Finances,
[CONTINUED.]
In the Counties in which the lamia have been
distributed by lottery, maps may be made and
transmitted Irom the Surveyor General's office,
leaving to tho County officer only tho duty of
aiccrtaining the occupants of particular lota, and
which are vacant
In tboae Counties in which lands have been
granted on head-rights, actual surveys will he
necessary, but the expenses of both operations
will be more than reimbursed to the State, bv the
course recommeudod in rclstion to defaulters,
and unclaimed lands, and the State will moreover
havo accurate maps of all tho lands within its
limits, and their sevendpartiione, for any furture
exercise of tho taxing power.
For the purpose ofreceivirig the returns of all
property, real and pcraonnl, liable to taxation,
under the Adt, the Receiver, should be requirod
to attend in each Captain’s district, for a certnin
number of days, to be specified in the actandof
which be should give a notice, to be specified in
like manner.
He should be directed to receive all returns
mado to him, on the oaths of the person making
them, and at such valuation. as they may affix; but
ifanypersoushould fail to make areturn.orto affix
value to the property,the Receivershould then be
required to assess the amount of taxes due by such
individual, with a right of appeal from such ns.
scssment, iu such mode as tho Legislature should
prescribe. The Receivershould be directed tore-
turn to the Collector,a digests ofthe taxes so re
turned or assessed, whose duty it shouldbe to
collect the samo- in the manner now prescribed
by law.
It is recommended that the several Collectors
be required to deposit in certain banks, to be
from timo to time designated by the Legislature,
or if they shall fail to do so, by tile Governor, the
amount of their' collections, the receipt of the
proper officer of such bank, to entitle them to
credit at the Treasury.
Each person making a return, should be requir
ed to specify in district columns the several kinds
of property liable to taxation under tbc Act, and
in case of land, to spocify its qualities and boun
daries.
The Comptroller should be directed to prepare
and transmit to the several Receivers, a form of
the returns to be made by individuals,and it should
be made the duty of the Receivers to cause such
form to de published in the nearest gazette, at
least one month before the lime appointed for
nuking returns.
The Comptroller should be moreover required
to prepare and transmit to the several Receivers,
affirm for the preparation of their digests, which
each receiver should be required strictly to ob-

owned by tho State, aa a fund for its payment.

All powers given to the Receivers, Collectors
and other officers, by the exisdng Ians, not in
consistent with the provisions of the new act,
ahould be condnued to them.
It is not easy to make a satisfactory estimate of
tho amount of revenue, which at any given rate
of taxation, snob a system would produce. The
difficulty consists in fixing a jnst valuation on
somo of the objects of taxation, and in ascertain
ing the quantity, as well as value of otilers. The
operation of the system for a single year, would
however, go far to remove it. At present all that
can be done, is to submit some data, from which
to make a conjectural estimate, taking care to a-
void excess iu each particular.
The lands of tho 8tate, estimated in
round numbers at 35,500,000acres,
and at die low value of $3 per a-
ere, give a taxable property of $106,600,000
The Sieves in the State, estimated in
like manne, at 343,000, and valued
at $400 each, give 97,200,000
Stock in trade from the books of tho
Cl jintroller General, also in round
numbers,
The Capital of Banks, and other mo
nied stock corporations liable to tax
ation, by tho proposed system, and
taxed as bank capital,
Stock Cattle, liable to taxation under
the proposed system,
Horses and Mules, do.
Moneys outstanding, on note, bond
or mortgage,
Bank capital and that of othormonied
corporations, is not extended in this
estimate of property, subject to the
proposed general advalorem tax be
cause it is intended that it should bo
taxed as at present,
Looking to the foregoing enumerated objects
of taxation; considering the low estimate of the
lands, and of tho probable amount of those items
in the list, whose objects, have not been extended
from want of satislactoiy data, it seems fair to
conclude that the value of taxable pronertv in the
State, as thus defined, would not fall short of two
hundred and filly millions of dollars.
But if to secure to the State, a certain return
of the amount which its necessities may require,
we reduce it to two hundred and twenty millions,
wo shell found our estimate almost exclusively on
these items, the quantity of which has been as
certained, and on the low valuation, which bos
been attached to them.
The tax on two hundred and twenty millions
valuo of property, at such rate advalorem, os
the Legislature shall think proper to impose, will
constitute the first item in the resources ofthe
State.
Tho second will be tho dividends on Bank
Stock.
The nextwill be the notes and bills for **»•*•
money lent and discounted by the Contrid Bonk.
It will of coiirso be desirable to ascertain with
as much certainty, as maybe, the amount of mi
nus] revenue, which Biich a system of taxation
Would produce. Rut as it could not, even if adopt
ed now, be made available fur the year 1840, it
seems proper first to consider wind are the liabili
ties ofthe State for that year, and what are the
resourceswhich can be marshalled to meet them.
To aid us in making this examination, we have
asked for a statement of tho condition of the Cen
tral Bank, up to the 10th October, 1839, which
has boon promptly furnished. From the manner
in which this accountisstaled, and our imperfect
apprehension of it, wo , may perhaps err in the
statement of results, but the document itself, is
herewith submitted for our correction, and en
ough it is believed may be extracted from it for
onr presont purpose. We proceed to state our
viow ofit
The two first items on die debtt side, viz: Capi
tal Stock and United Stales surplus rovenuo may
be omitted in this examination, as not affecting
tho object of our present enquiry, which is to as
certain the liabilities and resources of the State for
theycar 1840.
Tho next item, tho Now-York 12

cluded from this estimate.

Tho items Nos. 4 and 5, consist of bills and

Whatever sum can be obtained from these in the
course of the next year, by reductious and in dis
counts, will of course constitute a part of ita avail

If from these imperfect materials, we attempt
an estimate of resources and liabilities for the
year 1840, beginning with the latter we would
stato them thus:

Legislature of1839,
The two last items cannot be extended in this
estimate. Excluding them, we have a sum of
11881,91673,liable tobe called forin the year 1840.
i t is true, os has boon before stated, that tho whole
amount ofdepositea in the Central Bank,orofiu
notes in circulation, may not be requirod—but if
its agency is d ispensed with, as productive or an
expense, forwhich the State receives no corres
ponding benefit,.they ought to be provided for
Next as to resources. These are to be derived
chiefly from tho notes, andbills of exchange die-
counted in the Central Bank, amounting on tho
10th pctober, 1839, to $1358,495 8L* Wta
reduction the Legislature may bo disposed to re
quire on this amount, and wliat is practicable, and
orcourse, what sum could be obtained for dis
counts on renowal, can only be stated conjccturaL
ly. If especial act were passed, authorizing the
tmmmediate distribution of these notes and bills
among the several banks,established in the vicinity
ortho parties to them, for reduction and renewal,
it is bel oved that these objects might bo more
3 >eedilv accomplished than by the agency of the
eutral Bank. The aet would, of couru, pro-
vide for reports to the Treasuiy, at short porimls,
of the amounts received by the respective Banks,
and the moneys might be drawn as required, by
warrant ofthe Governor on the Treasurer, on
which the latter would endorse his check on the
Bunk. Amounts recoivcd by the several Banks
and not thus drown for, might be required to be
paid at stated periods into the Treasury, or into a
Bank at the seat of Government. The right of
the State in terms ofthe several acts,undorwhlch
loans have been made by the Central Bank, to
requiro a reduction of 20 per cent, per an
num, on the amount of these loans it expresslv
reserved-—and if this right were exercised
hyrequiringareductaon'orfi per cent on each of
toot succeeding renewals, at intervals of two
months, beginning on the first of March, 1840, it
would be less onerous to the debtors, than to re
quiro the renewal,—The Banks, too, in which
the notes were deposited, would without
doubt areist the debtors, by discounts, in
making these reductions, which would thus be
complete on the 1st September, 1840.

In looking into the alatemonl ofthe
Treasurer, as to tho amount of tax re-
coivodon.Bank Stock, the uudersign-
od are induced to boheve that thorn is
error ftom somo source, which ought
to ho enquired iuto. Tho whole a-
mount which appears to have been re
ceived for that tax, in tho year 1838, la
$10,059 70. According to the roport
ofthe Secretary of tho Treasury in
January, 1838, the amountofthe Bank
Capital in Georgia, wai $11,438,828.
From the lait returns wo have seen, it
amounts to $10,288,797 66. Wo
ehallba aafoin estimating it at $10,-
000,000. A tax of 31 j cents on each
hundred dollars, was originally im
posed, but the act of 1832 reduced it
to fifty per cant.—so reduced, it ought
to produce to- the Tressnry, on tho
above amount of Bank Capital, $15,.
625 00, instoad of $10,0o9 70. In
1837, the tagpaid was only $8,109 17,
though the amount of Banking capital
was the same. In 1834 the amount of
Bank capital exceeded $0,600,000.—
The tax ought to have been $10,166 25.
The amount paid into the Treasury
was 94,660 26. These are mentioned
among others, os instances of apparent
error in tho collection of this tax,
which merit enquiry by the Legisla
ture, as from the statement furnished
by the *freastirer, thero appears to be
a considerable amount m arrear,
which if so, may be collected and
made available in the year 1840, under
tho authority given to that officer by
tho act imposing the tax. Tho tax of
1830 will bo probably paid in by most
of the Banks before tne Legislature
can act upon thin report. It will of
courae be the reduced tax of fifty por
cent., but if the Legislature should de
termine to lovy, a full general tax from
die citizens at Urge, for the year 1839,
no reason is perceived why the Banks
should not also pay the additional fifty
per cent., which will add $15,625 00
to the resources of 1840; at present,
however, we put it down in round
uumbers, at $15,000. Bhould the es
timate ofthe ordinary expenses of tho
Government be too low, as may be tho
ca$e, this remaining fifty per cent, of
tax upon bank stock, would covor the
deficiency.
Tax on Bank Stock payable 1st De
cember next
The exigencies of the State would
seem to require an immediate resort
to taxation, to bo rendered'avaiUble in
tho year 1840. The bonds of the
S tote for tho New-York loan of $900,-
0.H), have been lying over since the 1st
September tost. The faith of the 8tate
has been violated, and ought to be re
deemed with the utmost promptitude.
Every honorable feeling! of .State
prido, every juslcoiuideration of the
public interest, concur in making this
requisition. We must pay this debt
in justice to our creditors—we must
pay it promptly, to evince our own
sense of tho obligation of such con
tracts. ^ We must accompany the
provision for its payment, with such
an exhibit of our resources, and such
a manifestation of our determination
to call them into action, as willgive
confidence to capitalists, from whom
we.may desire ftiture accommodations.
To efiect this, it will be indispensible
that the full amount of our general tax,
under the existing system, should bo
paid into tho Treasury during tho
year 1840. Happily it is within tho
power oftheLegistotare.toaccomnrmh
this object in the session of 1839,
Jheact of1832, reduced tho goncral
.*«! "I* P°* coot* and that of 1635
which has been annually re-enacted
since, directed the Collectors to pay
over tho amount collected to theConn-
ty Treasurers. Under these provi
sions, returns have been made /or tho
year 1839, and the digests are now in
the hands ofthe respective Collectors.
It is only necessary to repeal these acts,
and by a special act ofthe Legislature,
to direct the Collectors to collect and
pay into the Treasury, the full amount
or the general tax for tho year 1839.
ir they are required to deposit the a-
mourns collected from time to timo, in
tho banksin their vicinity, tolthe cred
it of the Treasurer, tho tax will be
sooner realized. Should any objec
tion arise from the fact that fifty per
cent, of that tax, has been appropriat
ed to the Counties, it would be better
to collectthis tax, in addition to tho full
amount payable into the Treasury,
than that the faith of the State, add
the honor of the State should notbe re
deemed. Thoro was paid into the
Treasury for tho State 1 , half dt tho
to* for 1834, $51,364 32, according
to the report of tho Treasurer;
while tho Comptroller, who re-
12™'tho Stale’s moiety at $56,-
024 36, states the amount paid into
the treasury to be only $39,192 18.
These discrepancies may, perhaps, bo
explained. It Is not necessary to our
present purpose to attempt iu Tho
gross amount of the whole general tux
according to the report or the Comp
troller, taken from tho digest, of the
year, was $112j048 72. ft is reasons-
ble to behove from the inereaso ornop-

will have been increased during five
