We understand that a much lower rate of valu
ation, in the giving in of taxes for this year, lias
prevailed in the counties of Stewart anc! Monroe,
than in the other counties of the State. So mar
ked is the difference between these counties and
the others, that, we learn, the ct^iptroller has
made a special representation of it to the Govern
or. What remedy he has recommended we do not
know, not having seeu his report; but we do not
donbt that the discrepancy, has arisen from some
misuuderstandiuc? or misinterpretation of the law
as to valuation. The people of those counties only
need know theirduty to the State, and they will
pet form it as cheerfully afld as faithfully as those
of any other counties. We cau speak with confi
dence of the people of Stewart, who have never
faltered in tiie discharge of any patriotic duty,
and who would scorn to seek a partial avoidance
of their obligations to the State by paying but lit
tle over half the tax paid by the people of the
neighboring counties and those of the State gen
