Prentice says the Democracy are worse off* than the “old physician”—the “sands” of its life have already run out. . The Democracy of Tennessee have nom inated Isham G.

The Opposition are wide awako in the Old North State. Conventions are to be | held in the several Congressional Districts, when candidates of the right stripe will be nominated.

The “Harmonious Democracy,” The Democracy of Fulton county held a meeting in Atlantaon Saturday last, that is, they were called to order as one meet ing, but when they adjourned there were two. The first meeting had gotten about half through with their proceedings, when some gentleman called on all tho Broion men to leave ‘the Hall, which they did, and held a separate meeting. Two sets of del egates were appointed to the Milledge-ville Convention. We are sometimes tempted to wish that there could be enough offices to satisfy the appetite of the Democracy— we wish to see, as the greatest of natural curiosities , a Democrat who has his fill of the “loaves and fishes” of office: THE 4 PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY/ It appears the older the Democracy gets { the more dishonest they become. That par- | ty held a meeting in New York City “last week at whiich it was decided that Cuba “ must and shall be ours.” Senator Brown of Mississippi, thought that would be the mixst probable way in which we should acquire that island.

Astronomy is one of the earliest sciences, and was in a high state of cultivation in Job’s day. It is also one of ihe most sub lime—having a tendency to lead the mind off from mundane things and place it upon heavenly ones. The pnind is thereby enabled to take a more enlarged and accu rate view of the wondrous works bt the Great Creator. I cannot believe that if all persons ob served the beautiful system of those vast bodies revolving through the heavens ; the regularity of their motions ; the forces by which they are kept in their orbits ; th periscelic time; elipses ; occultatior the effects resulting from the m a’ of one body to another they should, that that created them Before the days pqrnicus and Her divided into const the planets were now, gazed with” ses were noted, ai. ed.

Certainly not, since we do not bcloflw to that class of their subjects. Yet we may know it-, because we have the means of communication between those nations ; whereas, in the other case, it is not neces sary, and is impossible for us to know, un less informed by the Great Ruler, which would be unnecessary, since it in no wise concerns us. And jf the first parents of those* bodies were placed upon an equal footing with ours, they may have been obedicnr, and consequently have retained their Eden. Such a God as ours deserves the united praises of the redeemed of millions of mil lions of such worlds as the one we inhab it. The good of every generation, from Adam to the end of lime,, will be hut a handfull, to join -the choir of the living God. The mysterious comet, wheeling through the endless space of other, becom ing visible to the inhabitants of tin* earth,- carries the conviction to the heart of every beholder, that its Author, is divine. ‘ The science of Astronomy, instead of re lating tlie Christian religion tends to au thenticate it. - For the more we learn, of God the stronger do we believe in Him ; and the study of this science expands the mind, strengthens the desire of knowledge which leads to that perfection, experienced only by those who have gained entrance through the pearly gates of Heaven. And it it be true that the orbit of a well known comet becomes smaller at each rev olution around the sun, thus proving the existence of a “resisting medium,” our earth may be subjected to the same power, and finally come in contact with the sun, and thus be consumed—fnlfiHing the pro pbecy foretold of it in the volume of. inspi ration. *-- ALMA.

Debt—Butts Superior Court. March Term, 1859. This is an action of debt brought by Win. R. Bankston, Clerk of the Inferior Court of Butts county, under the direc tion of said Court, and upon the informa tion of Joshua Patrick, for the county of Butts, and said Patrick against Algernon 8. Greer for a false and fraudulent return of taxable property made by said Greer. — The declaration alleges that the defendant has returned his taxable property at aval uation of $ 19,000, when in truth and in fact, its true value is $40,000, and the plaintiff claims to recover ten dollars for every hundred dollars’ worth of property st) concealed by the defendant, j The defendant demurs to the declara tion on the ground that the cause of ac : tion therein set forth is not authorized by any law of this State, or, in other words, that the Bih section of the tax act of 18v 4, under which this suit is brought, is not ~ in force, and the quest ion for the Court to determine is, Is the Bth section of the j tax act of 18U4 still in three, or has it been ’ repealed by a subsequent statute? If that section of the act of 1804 is now i in force, the suit must be sustained ; it it \ is not in force, there is no law authorizing | the present action, and the plaintiff must j be nonsuited. It is insisted on the part of the plaintiff i that this question has been.settled and de ; cided by die Supreme Court of this State, | and the Court is referred to the case of Pavne vs. Coursey, 20 Geo. Rep. 586. If it be true that this question has been decided by the Supreme Court, this Court is bound by that decision, and must cotir form to it. The Court feels the highest respect for the Supreme Judicial Tribunal ! of the State, and will not intentionally dis regard any of their decisions. But has the Supreme Court decided the question now before this Court, in the case of Payne vs. ! Coursey ? By reference to the reported ! decision, it will be seen that the point be fore the Court was nut made in that case. The written opinion says : “By the Bth section of the tax act of which is perpetuated by subsequent -> is provided that, ‘lf any person, or refuse to give or their taxable ■icted of fraud, or ■ •of, he, she, or the Ch rk of nty a line of 5 yal de ana suo- , what j .ated in . i the idea x-paver had first to: c*t*ninally upon indictment j j to the amount of the penalty im- j ised by the act, before suit could be j brought. “Such, we apprehend, is not the proper construction of the statute.” And that is the only point decided in : the case, viz : Thai it is not necessary that the delinquent tax-payer should be prose cuted criminally upon indictment before! suit can be brought The question wheth- : , er the Bth section of the act of 1804 is now in force, or whether it has not been repeal ed was not made, and the Supreme Court! have expressed no opinion upon it—and,! indeed, it only appears inferentially that they held that section to be in force. It is, thin, an open question which this ; Court can entertain without disrespect to j the Supreme Court, .and without going counter to one of their decisions. Wh t, then, is the penalty imposed by the laws of this State upon those who make a false j and fraudulent return of their taxable property ? To determine this question, we must look to the tax laws. By the tax act, approved January 9, 1852, and it is j under that the defendant made a return of j his taxable property, it is enacted : - . ! “That all laws, and parts of laws, mili tating against this act except such parts ’ of the Tax Acts now in force in this State j as may be necessary to carry out this Act, | and which are declared in full force,, be, and the same are hereby repealed.” This section alludes to the penalties ne cessary to enforce and carry out the Tax, Acts—-.and it was such parts of. the Tax Acts then, January. 9, 18.52, in force in this.St ate as may be necessary for this pur- ■ pose, that were declared to be in full force, j What parts of the Tax Acts imposing pen- ! alties upon delinquent tax-payers were in force at that time ? By the 4th section of the. Tax Act, ap proved December-26, 1845, it was provi ded, that, “If auy .person shall fail to make a return of taxable property, under this j Act, such person shall be doubly taxed for ■ the*first year; trebly taxed for the second j year, and.increasing in the same ratio each j year until a return is made ; and, if any j person make a false, or partial return, aj •ouhle tax shall be by, jhe .TiW ! ’ of-the Interior jl'ourtof eticT 1 df I*9rHa? return is iuadc. on report of such fact to them by the Re- * J ceiver of tax returns, and at least three days notice to such persun, by order of the Justices of said Court.” By the Bth Sec. of the Act of 1845, it was enacted, that, “All laws and parts of laws in relation to taxes, now of force, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Act and necessary to carry it fully into ef fect, be and the same are continued in full force and effect.” The Tax Act of 1804 was re-enacted by tlit’ act of Dec. 23, 184 U, “and declared in force, for and during the year 1841, and from thence afterwards umil repealed.” At the time of the enactment of the Tax Act of 1545, the Bth Sec. of the act • of lSt‘4 was in force—was it repealed by the Act of 1845 ? It was, if it is iucon ; sistjent with the 4th Sec. of the Act of 1845 —both Sections, that of tin* Act ot ISIH, and that of the Act of 1845 —arc upon the same subject matter —both pro vidl penalties against those who fail or re fuse to make a return of their taxable pro pelty, and those who make a false or par tial Vet urn —but the penalties are different and the penalty of one is inconsistent with thsk of the other. By the Act ot 1804, a penalty of. ten dollars for every hundred dollars’ valuation of property negk-ct&Tto bo given in, or concealed, is imposed upon thi* delinquent—by the Act of 1845, per sons failing to make a return of their tax able property are liable to be doubly tax ; ed the first year, trebly taxed the second 1 year, and increasing in the same*ratio each 1 year —and for making a false or partial rc- I turn, a double tax shall bo assessed by tho ’ Justices of the Inferior Court of the conn ! tv in which the talse or partial return is made. I The Bth Sec. of the Act of 1804 then being inconsistent with the 4th Sec. oi the ; Act of 1845, was repealed by the- Act of i 1845 —unless it be held that the Act of ! 1845 intended to impose a penalty upou i delinquent tax-payers in addition to the | one imposed by tho Act of 1804, which | cannot -be pretended with any approach to I plausibility —then, the Stb Sec. of the Act ! of 1804 was repealed by the Act of 1845 and was not in force, when the present ad j ! Valorem tax law was enacted in 1852—hut she 4th Sec. of the Act of 1845 was then i in force for it was re-enacted by the Act of I ! February 22, 1850, and made of force for | i the years 1850 and 1851, and for each and ! every year thereafter till repealed—it wa* I | hot repealed until the ad valorem tax iter, !of 1852 was enacted—and that (i- laml ‘I such parts of the tax acts then in three in this State,gnay bs necessary to carry J vnt i ) p in full force. The 4th 184 J imposing penalties I e who make a false or partial re t • taxable property was then iB 9 continued in force by the act I ‘dh See. of the act of 1804 I force, and consequently fl a tile act of m ; *tibly that the Bth losing a penalty m .ndred dollars’ ■ sealed by those S ud u len tre I urn of H j is not in force in illib \j .4. ic is no law authorizing 9 the recovery, which the plaintiff seeks—A I nonsuit, is therefore awarded. And this decision does not turn the de linquent tax-payers loose to make false 9 and partial returns of their taxable proper ty with impunity—they can be mode to bear their proper share of the burdens of I taxation and bo punished likewise lor tin ; ‘9 delinquency—ln all such cases let the R< - JH ceivers of lax returns give information to |B the Justices of the Inferior Courts, w: ,1 are fully authorized to impose a double t;;x —And a p(nalty which may more (ft u* ■ ally meet such cases, has been pr< video by the last Legislature, which it is unaeC‘ c s> j ry now to notice.
