Tie Harper’s Ferry Tr*a*w*i—Acrompiins
’ Witb the exception of oue or two, the guilty ac
tors in the recent tragedy at Harper's Ferry have
expiated their criroo with their blod, or will,
shortly, surrender their lives in obedience to th
claim* of justice. Tho survivors will be presecn
ted with energy before both the State aud Foder
•il tribunals, and Gov. Wise has kindly oousentad
that tho latter shall have all that is left of them
after tbe majesty of tho laws of Virginia shall
tuTe heon fully vindicated. But behiud these
wretched tool# of fanaticism and treason arc oth
i r*, who have aided and abetted iu the nefarious
plot, and whose criminality in morals and law, re
none tbe ta*#,lhat they have been absan from und

In Led,tbe guiltof those wboooocuctcd, ami wiih

urged on the work to a development aud consum
mat ion, is of a deeper, blacker dye, and calls more
loudly for retribution tbau that of the miserable
myrmidon? who were hired to carry it into exe
cution. Whim the State of Virginia is prepare
ing halters for her abolition prisoners, we com
wend such accomplices us Uerritt Smith and his
fanatical associates, whoever they be, to the vigi
lance aud eare of tbe Federal tribunals. They
are traitors iu fact—they have assisted, directly,
to raise tbe standard of rebellion against the gov
ernment of tho United States, and a traitor’s
doom is their due. This same miscreant, Gsrritt
Smith, not lung since dculared that tho uext on
slaught upon slavery would uot be by discussion
or moral suasion but by open insurrection Hi*
acquaintance with tho plot which ha* just been
developed enabled him to speak what he knew,
so what exteut tbe conspiracy may have spread
we cannot know, but a large amount of money
must have been required to purchase the arms
and munitions with which the -ebols were provi
doJ and this money mu-t havo been raisod by
numerous contributions. Il is the impel ativo duty
of the Federal Government toexert all its power to
bring these anoompHoe* to justice. Sue. 3. Art 3of
the Constitution defines Treason against the Uni
ted States to consist “only in levying war against
them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving
them aid ad comfort.” This definition it is man
Test involves in guilt all who wore oouoemed in
the late conspiracy, whether they contributed
money or personal exertion toward its accom
plish meat, and wc have a right to expect—the
people of the South havo right to demand of tbe
General Government that this diabolical attack
upon their peace and lives shall be promptly
atoned for by all wh.se complicity in it can be
jutablished.

To Hit Exaetlency the Rrenid* >t of the U. Stale* :
Everything i* quiet. There aro ouly five prie
/tiers, three wounded and two unhurt. Siix ili*
ens have been killed, and one marine. All the
itisens were killed outside the limns of the Uni
ted Stale* territory in Virginia. Tbe marine
was mortally wounded within it. I have seen
Col. Lee, but not Gov. Wise. Ouly nineteen per
■mn* wereeugaged in tbe matter, of wb*m five
were tree negroes from tho North. Brown has
bees living a lew miles from here, in Maryland,
-mice June last. His promise* Were searched to
iiay, and fifteen hundred pikoa and two hundred
jjuna found, besides flint#, axes, blankets, cloth
ing, A*., in abundance. Brown says be ha* con
templated this movement since 1856 All of hi*
party arc either killed or captured, except ope,
who left on Monday. They wore driven by the
Virginians into the armory, aud there Col. Lee
and 12 marine* did the balance. All the slaves
engaged, if auy, were fer ed. None of the per
sons bold by Brown were hurt, although all were
in tbe building stormod by tbe marines. The
book* and papers of Brown are secured, which
throw considerable light on the movement.—
Strange it is, but true, that Brown and his IS
tneu took possession of the Government property
red town, and held them during Sunday night
4 nd Monday The Government money is all
safe. It is not knowu which of tbe party killed
tho marine. Tbe man who carried off Lewis
Washington is one of the woaudod prisoners. I
do not appeebend any violence to tbe prisoner*.

got him intoa talkative mood, and he voluntarily
tu*de the following imjortaDt diacloaure :
“l rented flic ‘Kennedy Farm* from Dr. Ken

and mimed it after him. Hero I ordered to bo

would have armed the whites wiib the rifles und

the other arms.

would have been levied on the slaveholders and
their property appropriated to defray expenses.

From the “Bainbidgc Argus” we take thefol
lowiug timely article.
lulled B.ate* Senator.
This is, and has been for months, one of the
leading measures of the day. Tbis is proper.—
No question can, at this time, claim (he consul
oration of the people of Georgia of more vital
uioineut than that of the Seuatorship. Tbe effect
of the election no patriot can view without con
cern. We will, therefore, bo excused tor our fre
quent allusions to it, and our ropeclluladvocacy
of tho claims of tho lion. Alfred Iverson to u
re-election. A uumber of distinguish* and mimes
have been mentioned in conneclion with the high
trust. We notice among them, the Lion. Hiram
Witruer, 11 u. A. 11. Stephens, and Guv. Cobb.
Now, we know that the first named is no aspirant
for the Hun at orship or any other otfice. As tor
;Vi .r\ SI ‘ ns and Cobb, wo do uot believe
at either ..cpires to the position, and tbe latter
genii* inau is looked to by many as one unwboin
a higher honor may, at no distant day, be bes
towed. While wo cheerfully concede to all tho
right to urge tho name of any gentleman for the
position, we are pained to witness the strong and
ttveu bitter opposition among the leaders, some of
I them, of tbo democracy, to the re-election of Mr.
Iverson. Why is this? Why this war upon nue
of our ablest, purest ami truest men P Is his sac
rifice demanded by ambitious a-pirants ? or by
personal antipathy ? or by both ? Shall wo buiu
dneed by these demands to intJict a serious flow
upon the great principles which are indissolubly
connected with tho prosperity of tho BoHthern
people ? We can view the defeat of Mr. Iverson
iu uo other light. The patriotic people of Geor
gia, nny. tho whole South, cun but view with deep
concern the effort “being made to atnke down a
fearless aud noble Jofondr of their tec* ion. For
the mau they do not fuel so much fouc.ru ; but
to tbe great truths to which he baa given utter
ance, aud for which be bos exerted all Hie pow
ers of his superior mind, they are deeply dtvo
ted. At them a blow >s aimed by crusniog one
Ol - their leading champions.
We doubt not but a largo majorily of tho peo
ple of Georgia desire his rc election. We have
hud unun-t.ikabie evidence* of (bis from tbe pro
ceedings of primary meetings and other sources.
Tbe responsibility now rests upon the Legisla
ture to say whether or not tbe sentiment of the
people snail be reflected.
Tbe opponent* of Mr. Iverson’s re-election aro
not contiued to Georgia. Almost every mail
brings to us evidence of the deepest hostility on
tbo part of tbo abolitionist* toward* him. Tho
Tribune, a leading abolition organ, is much eia
leij at the prospect of hi* defeat. VVhata sad
spectacle! Ono of the purest aud most fai hful
public men is denounced by both Southern men
and enemies to tho Constitution and laws of the
United States. Will the South remain blind to
her true inicreatsany longer? I* she willing, in
in tbi.i dark and gloomy hour of our political his
tory, to aid the ianalic* of the north aud tbeens
mi..-* to our institutions, in reinoviug another oh
siAClo to the occ mpliabuient of their unhallowed
purpose?
Some, wo know, in our State havo sought to
make the iiupres*iou,not that Mr. Iverson i* not
a true Southern man, but-hat be is intellectually
iuferli/r to, at least, oue who is understood to de
sire an election. W do not mean to contrast men
in this respect. It would b indelicate to do so.
All candid aud unprejudiced men, however, must
admit that Mr. Iverson has ever proved hiuiFSlf
equal to every emergency iu which he has bee
placed.
We know not one man personally whose name
is prominent for tbe Senulorship. Our course, in
this matter ha* been dictated solely by what wo
conceived to be demanded by our own beloved
section, governed by what wo thought to boa
proper sense of propriety. We have written and
published ever) thiDg in our power, in further
ance of an object dear to us all. If Mr Iverson
should bo defeated, arid tbe abolition spirit there
by mereused in virulence and ferocity, the r
apunsibiiity will not rest upon us.
From the Norfolk Argus.
John Brown.
The recent commencement of the “irrcpreesiblo
con diet” of 6© ward A Cos., at Harper’s Ferry,
under the auspices of its proto martyr, John
Brown, hn* mode tb%UUer individual more of a
hero than ever.
As public attention has been particularly drawn
towards Brown, a few reminiscences ot his former
expiuiots will be interesting item* of considera
tion. W© are indebted to his uld pro-slavery an
•agonist, Capt. U. Clay Pate, for tho following
facts in bis luwle.- career.
Bruwu is nearly seventy years old. lls com
Hjand- and at “Black Jack,” Kansas Territory, June
2d, 1866, when he troacherously took Copt. Pal©
prisoner, though a flag of truce was waving ovor
Capt. P.’s head
He was defeated at Osswwatamie, 3d Septem
ber, 1850, by Captain Reid's corn maud. Alter
that be bended a bond of horse thieves.
About tho 25th June, 1856, Brown aud bisrons
ass'isxinated Uve men, in the night, on Pottowot
tuini creek (three Doylss—lather snd two sons—
Win. Bbertnoa, and Wilkinson, a member of the
Legislature) at their homes,all pro-slavery but
unoffending citizens.
La*t Spring, Brown made an “irrepressible”
foray into Missouri, and carried away seventeen
negro* He wa* accompanied by Dr. Day, who
was caught, aud recently escaped from jail at St.
Joseph Brown landed hbi negroes safely in Can
ada, aud gut bis reward from the abolition socie
ties.
Brown has been a good deal in tho South. It
is said that he is the lost survivor of “Murrell's”
celebrated gang of eu'intortelu-rs.
He hud eleven sons, who all shared In hl en
terprises. He has always boreuforo escaped un
1 hurt.
In his principles he nlwas professed O) be “for
ward,” and to boa strict disciple of the “irrepres
sible uouflict” school.
We hope be will recover from his wounds, that
tho gallows may not b# ohested of its fit orna
nient.

just tribute to the talent* and worth of a gentle

lion. W. H. <’hamui;hh.—ls another of tho
gifted men of Barbour oounty, and indeed is one
of tbo most promising young men of the Sta o or
tho South. At the ensuing session, ho will make
hiR first appearance as a member of the legisla

ability, which it will require nble efforts ou his
part to sustain. We entertain no (ear or appre
hension, however, that he will disappoint tho ex
pectations of those who know him wull and havo
witnessed his efforts. As editor'd - tho Sentinel,
at Columbus, some years ago, be evinced rare tai
oiit and tact for writing, aud surprising political

While hu would prove himself equal to any post

sesses a peculiar fitness for that position,which wo
hope tho Speaker will give him an opportunity to

The claim of jurisdiction over curtain oases set

o rencHUM-d .uri-ius trouble Ih-iw on these au

that sotoo difficulty might grow out of tho case of

Wise has discovered a ui >-t lmpoy and satisfac

Hu is a th iruUgb Statu Rights man, yet yields
most implicit obedience to Federal authority, as
long a* it doe* not encroach up--n the reserved
privilege# of tho States. Tho Governor, there
t -ro, iu the case referred to, informed Mr. Ould,
tbo United Mate* District Attorney, that “lie had
not tuo least objection to the General Govern
ment proceeding against tho pri- oners, that i*,
wb it will be left of them by tho lime tho Virgin

A sensible way tbi, certainly, of solving a
“vexed question.” The Governor allows no “ir
repressible conflict” to spring up between his
own und the National Governun ni, but quietly
and obediently informs the authorities of the lat

REPORT.
COMPTROLLER CRN URAL'S OFKIUR.
MILI.UDOKVIt.LB, Oct. 21^18,19.
To Hit ExetUtwrtj, JOSEPH E. TIRO \VX, Gov:
Mn In compliance with the provisious of an
aet of the 28th of Dec., 1843, I havo the houor to
lay before your Excellency, a statement o the
receipts and disbursements at the I rcutury dur
ing the fiscal year lS5t, showing a balance in the
Treasury, at tho end of tho year, of 1614,882 09.
Without uii explanation, however, or a refer
eneo to tho Treasurer’s Report, this reported
“balance in tho Treasury” is deceptive. Previ
ous to my coming into office, former Comptrollers
merely reported this “balauce,” without any ex
piatmtion. The consequence whs, that many
who only read the Comptroller's Report, suppos
ed that “U of this large balance was t nth in the
Trtamry, when such was and in not tho fact.—
Os this 1014,332 00 ’balance,” $325,504 is alto
father UHuvnilaLlt, it being public property, ud
no more subject to be converted into oasii than
the Western k Atlantic Railroad, or other public
property, as none of it can be sold without legis
lative action. Tho following items compose tbis
unavailable balauce in the Treasury, vlt:
Hunk stock, (Education Fund,) $290,900 00
Stock in Millcdgcville kG.R. R. 2c,000 00
Darien Bank bills 2,237 25
West, k Atlantic Railroad Script, 4,784 75
Uucurrent Fund* 7,642 00
Total 1325,1,04 00
Leaving only an availatlo balance in the
Treasury of $28',768 00 to meet the balance un
paid on the appropriations lbr 1860, amounting
to the tutu of $2;>8,432 10. There was un avail
able balance in tbe Treasury on the 20th of Oct.
1858, us $130,354 65, to meet appropriations un
paid, amounting to $110,130 43; leaving tho Him
.f $20,224 22, as a balance in the Treasury, after
paying all the uppropiintions for 1858.
The $!0O,000 Common School Fund, now de
posited in tbe Bank of Savannah, and upon which
the State is receiving at the rate of 7 per cent. ‘
per annum interest, is included in (be above
available balance in the Treusury, because it is to
bo returned at tho proper time for distribution.
But to make the Reports from the Comptroller
aud Treasurer more simple and intelligible, I
would re-pectfully suggest that theoa officers b
authorised or dirut ted by the Legislature hereaf
ter to report as a “balanoe in the Treasury” oul.v
the a tual euth m the 7Wo*u<y. Then let them
report ibis Bank and Railroad stock, iucludiog
tbo stock in the Atlantic A Gulf Huilroad, and
the V, cHtern A Atlantic Ro I road, separately, and
all under tho head of “Aecl* to tht
Stnte.” By doing this, the people and their Rop
rcnentntlvis will not only *eo at n glance and
without explanation tho true cah condition of
the Treasury, but by thus having those items ot
public properly all reported separately and un
der <nu head, they can alio see with equal facili
y the total assets belonging to the Htato. Tbe
Treasurer and Comptroller might be directed to
report the Western A Atlantic Railroad at its
original cost to the Slate Treasury, or merely re
p >ri it without placing any particular suui as a
value upon it.
As the foregoing items of “Darien Lank Hill,”
“Western A Atlauttoßailroad Script,” and “Un
current Fuads,” are totally valueless, and not
worth to the Stale the paper they are written and
printed ou, they might, with all propriety, he de
streyed or burned, aud be left out of all future
Reports.

Before closing tbia account of the fiscal uper
at ions of the Bi*te for the past year. 1 cannot hut
allude to and commend the promptness with
which Tax Collectors for 1858 settled up
their aecoefots at tbo Treasury and tbia office.- -
Within afi w daya after the lime appointed by
law for a Anal settlement, all the State tax, ex
oept about $2,000, was paid into the Treasury
and in a short ime thereafter nil tbo aocount,
were balanced and olused up at this office. It is
indeed gratifying to <w public oAccra thus cum
lug up to a prop r discharge of duty in relation
to the monetary affairs of (be State. A few year,
back, not one half of the tax was paid in at tin
time it was due; but since the Collectors genet
ally have been fully informed of their respunsi
biltties, and tbo duty of the Comptroller, when
they failed to obey tbo law, with the assuranc
that the law must be Bloeely adhered to, 1 am
happy to report the improvement here alluded to.
Having thus exhibited tbs opt ationa 0 tb>
lIMUT (•* Ikt PMt tWtlT* I hY
laemwd it not inappropriate to allude to and
real eon approximation to the ordinary receipt*
and expenditures ot the ensuing fiscal year. Tho
anticipated receipts into tho treasury tor tho fis
cal \uar 1830 may be stated as follows:
c corn General Tux ....0u75,000 00

for 18a9 30,336 90
And wo have total S9O t,304 90
The demand upon the treasury, for the same
year, will approximate as follows:

For Common School Fund 130,000 00
For extraordinary appropriations say 50,000 00
Total... $613,700 00
It will thus ire seen, that after meeting tbo or
dinary demands upon the Treasury, and reducing
the public debt $7,000, aud allowing $60,000 lor
misoullanoous or extraordinary appropriations,
the o will still be a surplus of $289,(it)5 90 to aD
ply to a further reduction of the public debt, to
oduoation or auy other purpose tho next Legisla
ture ruay direct.
Although there is but $7,000 of tho Public
Debt due ilia ensuing fiscal year, still tho State
can, \J it ohoottt*, foreo in uud redeem $267,600
—the State having, in 1848, reserved to itself too
right to redeem certain bond* nt any time alter
ten years. These bonds are due in 1863 and
1866, as will be neon by a more full statement
under the bead of - “Public Debt— iu Bonds.”—
it will also be seen that of the bonds issued and
now uuredeemed, $2,080,750 are 6 per cents,
$452,600 boar 7 per esut. iuitreM, aud $72,000
pa.v 6 pur cant, interest.
There is mill due to the Atlantic A Gulf Rail

Anicndiucnls to tbe IU venue Laws
ThoActoflb2l having made it the duty of
the Comptroller General to accompany his An
nual Report with such recummeudatious of
change in the revenue laws, as are in his judg
ment trust calculated to produce economy, and
insure ilm prompt and faithtnl execution of said
law*, I shall now proceed to thu discharge of this
duty.
Tin action 0/ the (act Legialatnrc.
The last Legislature did well in passing nets
carrying out some of the suggestions in my last
Annual Report. The result, to some extant, has
far executed my most sanguine expectation*. By
t!ioho Acts, the State has not only realised about
$5,000 additional tux from Lotteries, Insurance
Companies aud Railroads, hut property has hcuu
more uniform/ 1 / and fairly fuluctl, und very
large invreuirtl return, in value of property bus
been made this yeur, over lust year—thereby
authorising a further reduction of the per cent, on
property subject to taxation, and also lessening
tbo tax, too, upon persons who have heretofore
given iu their property at a fair valuation, or the
market value, i.nst year it required 7% cents
on the &10U to raise the tax required by law. In
uuosoquunco of ibis increased return, this year it
ruquirod only fi!a cents to raise the same amount.
Iu addition to this, this more uniform and fair
valuation of property, prusems theßtate, at home
and abroad, iu 11 still more elevated posit ou—tor
all Htulos and Governments, ure judged of and
respected much on account of their wealth and
resources aud progressive!)©**,—and us the lute
returu approximates nearer than any other, to the
true cuuduiun ofthe State, the causes which pro
•luce such a result can not but he uppiovod. The
return ofthe whole amount of property on the
Tax Digest this year, i* #80V,68V.87(> against
$539,055,114 last year, showing an increased re
turn this your over last, of $70,634,762.
But, while these good results have ensued, by
reference to the tables accompanying this Heport,
it will be seen that one ofthe objects sought to be
accomplished hy the lasi Legislature has not been
fully attained—at least in relation to one class us
property. For iustamc, Brian county one ex
treme, returns this year us slaves at au average
value of $142. wnile Lincoln, the other extreme,
returns ilssiaves at an averago value of $762;
The avr u* value in the return of the whole
Stale 1# $812,63; showing Bryan county to be
$l7O below the average value iu the whole Btate.
hut it is doubtful wiKther it can ho more equal
izud under the a l e/orem system, tinder this eye
tout, were Assessors appointed,—while some
counties would put oue valuation, others wonld in
all probability put another, and no more equal
valuation than the pr* sent, it will be seen, too,
that slaves sre vulued lowest IQ the lower purl ot
iho State nosr the seaboard. It may be possible
that the slave* in these counties ar© not as valu
able ms those in the upper part us the Btete. But,
however, this may be, even were there Assessors,
slaves would be valued diftereutly In different lo
calities, an.] it is questionable whether the ine
quality would be lc*s, by further Legislative ac
tion at presont, So longs* the ai valorem system
is oontinnod. The Mata Tax of Georgia is so
small, I cannot bcliove that any oounty or body
of citiseoa in tho State, desire to pay less than
tbeir proportionate shore. When, then, the citi
r.©ns of the various counties of the (State (now be
low the average value iii the State,) find any of
their properly returned below the average value
of similar property in other portions of the State,
and ffiscovor that either they or their Receivers
if Tux Return* Imve returned fbelr property at a
-maßer value than other portion* of the State, Is
it nyt r©asonahle tosupp- m> that next year, and
hcreaiior (hey will do better, and seo that their
Receivers discharge their duty, and that they will
hcmsalvescomo forward and return their proper
ty at something like the value put upon simitar
property by Iheir fellow-eitis* ns of utb> r counties
n l that they will thus bear their fair proportion
of tho Taxes of the State? I cannot but tbiok
bey will. If. then, the Legislature, shouldoou
•ur with tne in this view ofthe rou’tcr, perhups

Tax on Letter ice, Ineurttneo Compuniee and Etc
preee Covtpaniee,
Either lo “amending” or “•moiling” tbs Art
of till, tul| lattwtWi Urarun Ceapu.lt,
do , two or three important omissions occurred
The original bill, if I mistake not, required lu
sura nee Compuntus and Lotteries, to inuke their
an ual returns to the State Treasurer, ou tbe 31st
of Deoentbur, iu each year, but in tbo enrolled
Act in the Secretary of State's office, the tium lor
making their returns is cot stated. As no par
ti ulur tiiuo was lixud in iho Act, the Tro isurer
ual led for these return-* on tbu 31st of Duuvtubur
last. But, I would respectfully suggest that tbe
Act be immediately amended, that tnure may bu
no mistake, so a* to make It require these reiurnu
on \hj 3lt of Dcooiuhur in each year. Aud. as
there are but one or two Express Companies doing
business in tho State, and os only the Principal
Office ofoaob is required to umku a return, lor die
■uke of eo •nomy, as well as to dieiKUinber the
Tax Bouk* ot this item, or column, 1 would re
spectfully suggest that Express Companies bo re
quired to umku their returns directly to the Statu
t reasurer by tho Ist of April in each year. And,
in case of default, the parties to L‘e aubjvotto tho
same penalty a* tho Aet of 1858 prescribes, with
the right ou the pan of tbo State, to enforce tbo
payment in tbu same tnanuer ns is now provided
for collecting fVom defaulting Banks,
Tar on money loaned onto/ the State.
As tho ad valorem Tax Act of 1852 requires
each citizen to pay Tax on what property be owns,
aud a* houu* tax payer* did not oonstruo notes,
bonds, and other evidences of debt, or money
duo from persons or corporations Ao., of other
Staton, In their possession, ns liable to taxation,
the la*t Legislature enumerated said property in
tho outh to bo taken by person* giviiu in their
taxable property. Since than, I havo been in
formed that Instances havo occurred, when) tax
payers who have heretofore made small returns
(and leaving out this much larger portion of their
property) havo <i6*/rc/y refuted, upon being
called upon by tho Receiver, to give iu any of
their property at ail; thereby throwing the Re
ceiver omy upon the small amount of visiblo
property in this State to bo double taxed. Lvcp
perhaps, if this property be doubled taxed for tbo j
first year, trebled taxed the nextc, and ho no for j
many years, tho Stato would not then get its due ]
tax. To prevent this evasion of the law uud
withholding from the State its due, hit p*rtoA* j
hnldifuj thin elate oj p,of*erty and tchu aheutuirty
refott to make their return when vailed u/tou
th* Receiver, would it not be well to pass un Act
fining them heavily f Tbo taxes of Georgia nre
very small, almost nominal or not oue fifteenth
of one per cent, and the citizen* of Georgia, ol
woaitb, who enjoys equally with all others the
blowing of our State Government, who ured the
most of his property in buying notes or bonds,
or who loons his money iu and to citizens of oth
er Htates, aud is protected iu his right to this
class of property, tho f-amo os any other, and
who thus attempts to defeat tho law and deprive
the Slate of its small pittance of lax upon llu
Esmu-di* elatt of persons ought to be reached
in some way.
Tuxe* on Nominal Stare* and Slate* hireing their
own tint*.
My observation, for several .year pa*r, reaches
mu that tbu prusuit law in relation tu the Tax
on nominal siavus, and staves permitted to hire
their own time is wholly Uufsetivo, ami unprofi
table as a revenue urea/iure—aud iu uiy judgment,
nut much butter as a police regulation. It ttiiuu
dud to raise a revenue Die tux ought lube reduc
ed. If in tended as apoitoo regulation, tbu law
would be much more certainly aud beneficially
carried uui, by making it more snugont and giv
ing the whole centred oi the subject, und the tax
es, to tho Inferior Court# of tbe several counties
—tbe taxes to go to educational or pauper pur
poses. There are uo doubt hundreda us nominal
slaves, iu the State, and perhaps is many slave#,
permitted to hire th. tr tune, aud the tax on tbe
first, is 160 dollar* and on the latter SIOO. Yu ,
noon are yven in —aud, but oue or two of th
former aud live or six of tbe laiter are annual.y
returned in dqj’uult ou tbo Tax Books. And, tlicu,
either by ibe affidavit of their owner.-., nominal
or otberwiso, and other evidence,and through the
reocotnmenduDon of thu Inferior Courts, they al
most universally escape taxation. Tho tax is #o
targe no oue will give iu—and when defauitets
are returned, ibe matter usually results, as abo e
stated. If, tbun, the Legislature desires a reve
nue from tin* source, I trust a more effectual law
vfnr this purpose be will adopted.
Tax Receiver’* Rond.
Strange as it may seem, neither the Compiler
of the late l'ax ur myrell can find auy law
whatever requi'iny bonds from Reoeiters of Tsx
Returns, sxie//f tu cuss of / p-uutmeut. B<>nd#,
however, have Uereud.-re been luvurtanly re quired
but hw only supposed authority for it, i* av Act
of 1864, uijiki g Receiver* and CuJteutor* “res.
poiuiblu to (hu Executive Department, aud umui
able o such rules in conducting (be duties ol Die r
respective nffi<&g, as ibe Executive my think nec
essary uud proper.” I Would tberetore retv-ut*
mend the pussugeofau Act requiring these bond#
tube given, ibe Acts of 1804 aud 1822 tully
provide ns to the Bonds for Tux Collectors, bui
no provis-on whatever i* mode for bonds ireui
Receivers of Tax Returns.
Making Titlet to proper ty Hold to pay Tax.
I would res|>eoifuHy call tho attention vs the
Legislature to tho difficulty of duiermiuing as to
who ia the proper person authuruud to sill and
make titles to property sold under u Tax Culler
tor’s execution for Tax. Before the Aet of 1862,
the Collectors were authorized to sell and make
titles, the Act ut that year directs tho execution*
to be delivered to the .Sheriff’ and Constables of
the State to levy the Huiae, but it does not nay
who is to sell and umke titles. A* the Shoiitl*
and Constables arc oubjeot to a rule for the pro
coeds of the same, it is reasonable to suppose that
the Act of 1852 intended to center upon them the
power to sell and make titlos to property sold fur
tax ; but a* there uro doubts upou the subject,
would it not be well to have tho law more plain
upon the subject ?
He turn of Tar Tuyere by Juet ice* of the Peace to ‘
the Heceieere us Tux lt< turu*.
Frequent complaints have been mode to this of
fice by Tax Receiver* iu relafiou to Justices of tbs
Peace not returning the Tux Payers iu their Do
tricts to the Receiver, as the law* directs. I is
alleged that in some Districts iu some of the oiu
counties, (iu couHcqumce of there being no an
ting Justices,) this duly is wholly neglected. Tbs
Act of 1847 makes it tha “duty of tow Justices ul
the Peace in each Captain's DmuM iu tbi* dial*
to make returns to the Receivers of lax Returns
ot all persons Until© to pay taxes tu their rwsp.;c
live DistiicK ou or beiore the first ot M.iy, iu
each and everv year.” But there is no penal.y
annexed fur a laitur© to discharge ibis duty The
provision of the Act ol 1804, nniih was repealed
by Ihe Act of 1847, required (he “commanding
ufficor” in each tapis u’e Distrist, to wake his
return, with a Due us S3U for wnub retuaal or ucg
lect lo du so.
Tux Pay ere not on the Tux D>r/eet.
It frequently happens that persons, on account
of absence fiom home, or s<>ui other reasonable
cauM), tail to muks a return of their property t©
the Receiver helore be tl©s©s his Book But not
intending to be iu deiault they come lurwurd
shortly alter and ot their own acuoru propose u>
make their returns. Previous t 1862, such per
suns were auihuriscd i < luake their reiuius to ib©
Clerk of the bupeitar Court, aud that • fiber wae
requ red to turuish the Cullectur and tuia > ttiu< 1
with a copy ul the return. Ibe Leglala<ttre us
1867 aud 08, supposing .his siiil lo t> tne ht,
required tbu Coiuutur altar the 16th of August
tu search out aud return all persona and prepc-r
ty in dvtault or nut giveu in by that time, but
upon examination. 1 nud that ibis law has been
repealed. The result is. that theta petrous, who
did not Intend tu lie in detauit and who voiuii
tardy and quickly o*ine lot ward to correct ibur
oversight or error, are not prulecto 1 against the
double tax. Tu enable such, theu, to protect
themselves from a double tax, I would respa©Uul
ly suggest that they be allowed until the 16th ol
August to make thvtr returns to the Clerk ol the
Superior Court, who can be autboiixed iu receive
them in the same maimer required off the Receiv
er. And as a ooui|Mmeiiou to the Clerk for bis
ir >ublw aud as a small penalty upon these persons
for tbsir failure to make a return to tho Receiver
during the three or irtir niuptbs be is engaged in
tecciviug tax**, the Clerk wight be authori*d to
obargo aud receive from each person returning
properly the sum us fitly cents.
The S2OO Deduction to Sun- Reel den re.
The presonuux low authorises a deduction us
S2OO on the property of “each Tax Payer,” Tins
provision was no duubt made lor the purpose of
relieving from luxation, ou property, ail mucus
of Georgia not owning over S2OO worth ol prop
eriy. But persons not being in tbu Bute Ire
queutly have property in Georgia, and as no dis
tinction is now made, they too are relieved 1
would, therefore, respectfully suggest that tho
Act 1852 be so ameudud as to deprive non-resi
dent* of the Mato, of this S2OO deduction.
