In con- Bcquouoe of this heavy espouse, they make tho following rather novel re commendation : “Wo therefore recommend to our Senators and Representatives in tho uext legislature to procure, if possible, tho passage of a general hill, applica ble to all tho courts of tho State, (but if it cannot be passed in this form, then to apply to the courts of this oouuty), embodying the following pro- First, to reduce tho number of Grand Jurors to not h ss than five nor more than seven, in lieu of the pres ent numbers now required by law.

[Coimmimcatod.] Mu. Editor: The timo 1ms oomo when tho Doinocr icy of Polk should make urangeinonts for members to the Legislature, nud to Bond delegates to tho OoDgromional Convention. The county dumocutic Executive Commit- too havo called no mooting as yet. They should do bo at onco. Lot us havo a good, old fashioned Democrat ic nomination by the pooplo; no ring, no clique, no trado or trick; and above all !)• independent candidates. I learn that seme have already said tboy had boon solicited to declare thoiuBolves independent candidates, and another said ho was a candidato, but had finally declined tho race—wub too poor to run, notwithstanding tho many pressing solicitations of the dear people. Tho old Democratic \ motto was, “lot tho office hunt tho man.’’ Gentlemen, clonr tho track; lot tho people coino forward and sponk. If you aro worthy, true and tried in tho past thoy will not forgot you now. It is essentially necessary in this election, to havo good and truo men in Con gress and in tho Legislature; men who fool that this is a Democratic Govern ment, a Government of tho pooplo, und not of individuals, cliques, or rings; men who understand that tho liberties of tho pooplo must bo preser ved, and that itjean only bo dono by a truo Democratic Government. Wo want uion who understand the groat principles which constitute tho foun dation of truo Democracy, and ‘which underlie tho groat fabric of froo Gov ernment, My advice to tho convention, wlion it moots is, first, to enquire if any ring lmd boon formod, any trick up or any trade made; and if truo, investigate it, uud adjourn your mooting to an- othor day, und invito tho good pooplo to oomo up and give u freo’exprossiou as to thoir ohoico. This plan, I think, would insuro success; olhorwiso you may have tho sumo disagrooilblo set of office beggars to contoud with you had last your. At tho same timo, should any Domoerat havo inoro con fidence in his own personal popularity thnn he bus in tho Democratic parly, and doolure himself an independent candidate, yon may know that ho iu not ono of us—ho is outside of tho fold, and should ho so treated. Hu thinks himself abovo affiliating with tho Democratic }mrty, and you may know that he is iu secret collision with tho radicals, and up him. Dring all your forces against him; touch him that the pooplo aro sovorigu and must reign. A Democrat. Tho above communication was written for last week's paper, but was orowdod out.

Comiuunicuf ion from “Kecor- «ler. ,> Tho subject of taxation ha* boon ono of the most difficult aud per plexing over submitted to government for practical solution, and it is one that more thought has bceu expended on to 1 hh purpose. Tho ohjio* has, boon to lesson and cqualizo tho burden, but has most invariably resulted in u gradual increase from year to year Much of this legislation bos boon un wise and unjust, but tho crowning act was passed hy our legislature during tho yonr 1872. I refer to tho exemp tion bill, which < xompls monied mo nopolies from paying taxes, which, of course, adds a general increase on tho poor class to koop up the government The law exempting woolen and cotton mills, was afterwards extended to iron companies. No doubt our legislators were honest in their views, aud at the timo tho bill wus passed it looked rather plausible. The facts have pro ven, in my jadgmenot, quito to the contrary. Tho only object of this ex emption was to encourage and induce caiatalists to invest mid bring money into tho State. Tho investments have been made, us for the money, so little of that article loaves thoir own pockets tho heneflts aro not precoptible, ox- copt in tho purchaso of lauds, which are most iu variably bought ut much less tlmn roal value. No soouor than ono of these companies is organized and chartered, they set up thoir stores of every kiud and trade to catch every dollar thoir employees labor for. This subject lias boon troubling the council of our town no little, and of late boon tho 'hill absorbing thought" of the body. It has boon a desired object of every member of tho council to make your taxes for this year as light us possiblo, and at one time they rejoiced in tho thought that it would not bo necessary to levy an advaiornm tax. Unfortuatoly for tho citizens our object was foiled which created a small expanse. Since that effort tho coun cil appointed a tax assosor to compile tho taxable proporty of tho town. In his report to our surprise, thoro was over or.e hundred thousand dollars worth of property within tho incorpo- ruto limits of (JoUartown that claimed exemption. Tho council required tho assosor to inuku a demand on tho company for an invoice of tho proprty they owned iu Codartowu limits, winch lie did, and tho coinpnuy refused to give in ono dollars worth of property. I refer to tho Cherokee Iron Com pany. Tho council was at consider able loss to know what stops to take in this matter, nud somowlmt cautious about law suits, as wo lmd on hand about as many us wo could wull at tend to. After much discussion and study, tho council passed a resolution ordering thoir recorder to examino tho law and facts on tho subjoot, which lie did, and laid them before that body. It was then ordered that a committoo wait on the tax ussosuor of tho county and learn tho truo slate of those facts, and request him to lay be fore the Couipotrolor General a true and impartial statement of the condi tion of this coinpuny on the 1st day of April, 1874. Ho, tho assess ir, prom ised to do so and inform the oomini - too tho oxtont to which the Coiuptro- lor Gonoral exempted this company; to this enquiry the assessor received a reply that the company should ho as sessed on all thoir property except the amount oxpondod iu the funmoo. This somewhat astonished our body of couuuilmon, thoy thou instructed the assessor to tax all the proporty of the company within tho lines, except that necessary and actually expended in erecting tho funmoe. Before this was dono tho county asscHor received soo- ond orders from tho Comptrolur Gen eral to assess no tax on tho Cherokee Iron Company -Their entire capital in Folk, and I presume the State, was exempted by law. This straw broke tho councils hack, aud put an end for soiiio weeks to any further action. But tho groat injustice done tho citi zens of Polk and Codartowu, still in duced them to make some further inquires into tho subject, which re sulted in another resolution request ing and instructing thoir recorder to write this article for your paper; showing how unjustly this exemption was obtained and tho unlawful con struction given to the law. To do this I will havo to occupy inoro of your space than 1 wish, but as it is in t.lio intorost of Polk County, it is no in trusion on timo or space. From tho wording of tho act, I lay down us my first proposition: This company is subject and should, 1 like to have said, shall, pay tax on their entire capital invested for tho year ending April 1st 187-4. My second proposition is, this company nud all other companies like this, bhould he assesod on all thoir property and made pay tax on tho same except tho actual oxpouso in erecting and oper ating tho furnaco. Now lot us read what tho law says. In Georgia report page 298, vol. of 1872, Eutitled an act to onoourago the manufacture of cotton aud woolen labrics &c. “Tho general assembly do enact. That for tho purpose of inducing the in vestment and employment of capital in tho muuufuoturo of cotton and wool en fabrics and yarns, also extend to iron in the State aforesaid, any indi vidual or individuals, or any body cor porate, that shall hereafter invest money to bo employed in tho election and operation of any mill or mills, within the state afortmid for tho man ufacture of fabrics out of cotton or wool or both, whether such invest ment. bo applied in the establishment of a now factory, or in tho extension or enlargement of a now existing fac tory, shall be exempt from taxation for st it , county and municipal pur poses on the capital so iu vested, or any property purchased or erected therewith intended for, and necessary to, such manufactory, for tho term of ten years from and after the laying of the foundation of the mill so to be erected: and it shall bo tho duty ot any individual or individuals, or body corporate, claiming the benefits of suoli exemption, to report to the Comptroler General of the State the amount of capital so invested, and tho time when the foundations of rniils readied tho sur/otv of the yround, where situated Ae. The italics are my own. This act is so plain that I can hard ly Bee any use in making auy com ments. Does it not say in so ruauy words that the foundation of tho mill or furnace shall roach the snrfaco of the ground before application can Ikj made, and tho timo expressed ? Now, what is tho object of the law requiring this date, if it is not to determine tho date of exemption? If this Company hud thoir furnace foundation built to a level with thq surface of tho ground beforo tho first duy of April, 1874, thoy had a right to make application, and tho Comptroller General had nothing to do hut grant it. If, on tho other hand, their foundation did not reach tho point designated until the 2d day of April, the Company could uot expect to bo relieved of taxes on property they owned daring 1873, any more than on property owned hy tho Company during 1872. And if thoy did not use*diligence and enorgy to push tho work forward and avail thomsolves of this benefit, it was tho Now, to dofine what is tho tax year. When wo givo in to the assessor wo Company's fault are required to tako an oath giving an honest statement of all tho proper'y owned tho year preceding 1st of April last. Then ull tho property this Com pany owned during tho twelve in >utha commencing 1st April, 1873, aud end ing 1st Annl 1871, is known us their taxable proporty of 1873, us the tux year commences and ends on tho 1st of April each' year. Now, if this bo true, and the Company* us I said, did not come to time with their founda tion, why not subject ? Why dul they not apply for exemption for 1872 ? Wo ull know tho law docs not recog nize a partial compliance whore put ties have contracted with tho State, and this is nothing more or loss than a contract. It is expected of tho State to adhere strictly to the reading of tho law, and the State should and does require of tho parties contracting to comply with their obligations. Then tho only question to decide ih, did tho foundation of the tjompany's furnaco reach tho surface of the ground on ur beforo tho 1st of Apri', 1874 ? 1 was not at or about tho Com pany workf on that day, nor have 1 examined Uumi since that time ; but I have tho evidence of reliable, hon est and truthful men of Folk county, that after tho 1st of April they saw the furnace foundation, and it was near two feet below the surface, and no foundation laid up to that date. As Into as Juno tho surface was not reached ; iu fact during tho month of May and firat of Juno they woro only gmvliug tho bole thoy had excavated. Those aro facts, if I am rigidly inform ed, that can be proven by at least I wonly of tho cltUensof Cedartown. Then how .lid i ho Company apply for cxemp- iion ? Upon whal ground* did (hoy base their application? 1 ecu no oilier way of gulling an explanation on this point but a copy of the application.
