Back Taxes Cemanced.
i Comp! ruder General W. A. Wright
has cat. d on the Georgia Railroad and
Banking company pay into the state
treasury the total sum of $125,974
back taxes on 15,000 shares of the
; capital stock of the Western Railway
of Alabama owned by that company,
In addition to this the Georg;a rail-
1 road must pay interest at 7 per cent
on all taxes due since 1830, which
\ dl amount to an additional $35,001'
or $!o,0uu, making a total of about
$165,000, that is declared to be due
I the state from this source.
The demand for these back taxes is
made following a decision of the Unit
d States supreme court to the effect
that under the constitution and
of Georgia it is the duty of the state
officials to require payment of taxes
< a stock in a foreign corporation
which is owned and held in Geor¬
gia.
The remittur from the United States
supreme court in this case reached At¬
lanta something more than a month
ago, but the work of making assess
mcn\ of this stock for the various
years during which it. has been owned
i>y the Georgia railroad has required
uo time aml study on tne

Return Freight at Half Rate.
An important step was taken by the
railroad commission of Georgia Batur
day morning when a rule was passed
requiring the railroads of the state
to give a hall'-rale on returned
freight,
"i-fe rule is a very important one
to all Georgia shippers, and will pro
,?sct 1 * H ' ni to a large extent from big
losses. When u shipper ships a ear
ot S ,K>lls froni ^ P° in t !l1 Oeorgia

■f -
i <J *:gmai tsn*,c%r at half the regular
tate.
Heretofore it had been necessary for
shippers in having freight returned to
Hiem to pay the regular rate for the
freight which was returned. The half
rate rule adopted Saturday has been
vo K U( ‘ in other states for a number
of years, btr! it has never before been
j observed in Georgia.
The rule makes an exception of
goods shipped as first class, and also
bars machinery and agriculture im¬
j plements when the said implements
and machinery are not returned to
i the original shipper for repairs.

In a statement issued at Boston
■ cur. day concerning the recent dis¬
use ion of the imprisonment of Jef
'erson Davis at Fortress Monroe in
18(c -tHi, General Nelson A. Mil’s says:
> “The matter has been agitated at
Kfieicnt periods during the last
.'ear . but never before has it been
•>Trussed in ih<> halls of congress. As
,ar as diy official acti.m is concerned,
■' ' v <*s directed by the highest author
i! -V; it received the approval of and
•'••is never been questioned by my su¬
Parlors or the government. I have
!l ° apology to offer of any kind to j
any person. The charge that the acts
; f the highest officials of the govern¬
ment or myself were prompted for
■he purpose of humiliating Mr. Davis, *
or t no people who associated and
sympathized with him, is as puerile
as it is utterly uutrue.
"it is to be regretted that the high
officials. President Johnson, Secret a*

cate General Holt and. Major General
Hal'.cck m not living in order that
