THE I,AW OF SETTLEMENT WITH TAX
COLLECTORS.
Coi.t MBUS, Ga., Sept 15, 1376.
Fki.low Democrats Finding that
my article of yesterday was much longer
than I desired, or expected it to be, I had
to leave off the Tax Laws governing the
Comptroller General in his settlement
with Tax Collectors. It is right that you
should see them and know them, to prop
erly appreciate the case of our present
Comptroller General, presented to you
yesterday. The following are the mate
rial sections of the Code in relation to the
the matter:
THE LAW AS TO SETTLEMENT BETWEEN
THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL AND THE
TAX COLLECTORS.
Section 858 (New. Coded The several Collec
tors must pay into the State Treasury the Taxes
of their respective counties l>y the twentieth
day of December of each year, and sbaU at the
same time present their Insolvent List, Ac.. Ac.
Sec. 864. * * The Comptroller General shall
be authorized, if in hie judgment the public in
terest will nut suffer thereby, to wait with Col
lectors fifteen daya, but not exceeding
thirty days for said Insolvent Llet, before issu
ing fi. fs. for the same.
Sec, 866. The time by which Digests shall be
completed and the taxes paid in, does not apply
to those who have not been In office long enough
to mak* such compliance, but in all such cases
such officers must reepoud to the requirements
of the Comptroller General.
Sec. 867, Such officers are uot liable for the
penalties fixed for times regularly elected, until
the time ailuwed by the Comptroller General has
expired, unless they have been so long in office
as would have been sufficient for regular officers.
Sec. sod. In other esses where any unexpected
obstacles occur to completing the Digest or pay
ing over the Taxes required by law within the
time proscribed, it is iu the discretion of the
Comptroller General to allow further and suffi
cient time.
Sec. 75. The (jonernor may mrpend the collection
of the Taxce or any part thereof due the State, until
the next meeting of the General Aexembly. but no
nuNUKit; nor shall he otherwise interfere with
the collection thereof.
Bec. 909. If auy Collector shall fall to settle
bts secouats with the Comptroller in terms of
the law he (the Comptroller General) shall Issue
execution against him (the Collector) and bis sure
ties for the principal amount, with penalty and
coats.
Beo. 910. The penalty 1b twenty per cent, per
annum, upon the amount retained, from the
time of default until paid, which includes in
terest.
Sec. 911. (Provides that all each executions
“must be dnoted to ait and aingular the Sheriffs
ol this State.,’' Ac.]
Bec, 912. Executions so iasued ihall not be sus
pe rated or delayed by any Judicial interference
with them, bnt the Governor may mspenti the col
lection, HOT LOHOKR THAN THE HEETINO OF THE
GKXEBAh ASSEMBLY.
Bei-tiohs 875, 851 (and 852, provide that a
Comptroller, ir be thinks proper, Ac., can wait
with a |Collector as long as the Tilth of
January each year, fur bis Insolvent List, but no
longer. At which time If a Collector does uot
present liia Insolvent Llat. he la to pay in the
whole amount charged against him, and when he
presents bis Insolvent List, properly authenti
cated, the state refunds to him the amount of it.
By the above law, fellow citizens, you
will see that NO one hut the Governor
can “Mtgjjend” or “delay” the collection
of Taxes, or ‘any part thereof,” —and,
that though this power is twice given
him, yet, in both cases, he is limited “un
til the next meeting of the General As
sembly, BUT NO LONGER.” \'oU will ftlsf)
see that even the Governor lias no author
ity, under the law, to “give up” any “pen
alty” or “interest” to any Collector “in
default” or Otherwise liable. And, you
will also see, 100, that even the Coarts
are not allowed to “interfere” with or
“delay” the collection of the Taxes from
a defaulting Tax Collector. Consequently,
you will see that Comptroller Goldsmith,
in “indulging” Collector Hoyle, in any
default, tfr in giving lip the penalty or
tnfercsr tnenrred hy him, for said defaults,
h*d no more authority, under tbs law,
than Srnwo Bull, or any other Indian
had: and that, therefore, Mr. Goldsmith
and his bondsmen are as clearly liable as
men can possibly be, for all the penalties
or interest incurred by Mr. Hoyle, by bis
defaults in 1371 and 1872, or by any other
defaults, where the interest, *o., have
heel given up to him by the Comptroller.
And, if Comptroller Goldsmith’s bond is
sued. I shall not be surprised if a verdict
of SB,OOO or SIO,OOO, or more, is obtained
against him and his sureties.
As for Section 869, relative to “unex
pected obstacles,” ifec., it has been in force
ever since 1843, but it was only interpre
ted and understood by myself, while in
office, and others, as merely authorizing
the Comptroller to exercise some discre
tion in settling up “small balances” with
Collectors, where “unexpected obstacles,”
sickness of self or family, failure of mails,
A’C„ prevented them from settling
promptly to the day, every cent due,
Ac.
But, fellow-citiwms, I am now done
with this series. Before closing, i deem
It proper to say that towards the present
Comptroller General I have hot the least
personal animosity—and never had.
No personal unkind word has ever passed
between us. It is true, that be having
formed a “combination” with tbe|Kiidical
ex-Comptroller, he afterwards followed
me to the Legislature, in 1874, and by
"humbugging” a majority of the Demo
cratic House ol Representatives, in the
manner suggested in my late address, de
feated my proposition to investigate, “free
of cost to the State,” the administration
of Bullock, Conley and Bell. And it is
also true, that, last whiter, because I would
not “promise" or “bargain” not to run for
Comptroller Generator rather to "help
him,” so that lie could keep me from
"getting in” to “ investigate,” &c., my
Court and Jury Trial Bill, that I
coefeidered tolerably safe, was killed by
ihree majority in the House, through his
influence, or the influence of a part of his
“Bing.” But, I considered him only the
representative of himself and his other
Radical friends, and that they were only
“lighting” me to make me “come to terms"
with them, —and l have looked upon the
whole matter as “ political " and “ not
personal,” &c. Believing, therefore,
that be and his mixed “King,” about At
lanta, were too strong for me, to go along
quietly and say nothing until the Legisla
ture meets, I concluded, as the only way
to “whip them out,” was to appeal to you
in an address. While looking for certain
material, as before stated, lor my address,
THE DAILY TIMES.
T struck this very bad case that I exposed
to yon yestereay.
I consider that that exposure places
the present Comptroller General in a po
sition u. t to he a candidate again soon,
for Comptroller G nival. But lam satis
fied that he and his “i;';ug" , will “ransack"
[ the whole State to get a iaeh date or can*
I didates, for the office of C luptrollcr
General, to oppose and defeat r. .if they
I can. I don’t blame them, for were I in
; his condition, and in the condition of
others co-operating with him, I would
I want to
STOP ANY FURTHER EXPOSURES !
and I think Hint, perhaps, the best way
they can do it is to defeat me—and 1 guess
they think so too. They, no doubt,
think that I, knowing more about the
Comptroller General’s office than any one
else in the State, outside of their “King,”
can more readily “detect" aiul “rip tip”
and “rip open” any wrong tiling done in
said office. And they will sp ire no means
to keep me out. They will get their or
any other candidate, or candidates, to
“combine,” A.'., &e., as was done in 1873,
with such success, (see my late address,)
if such a thing is allowed by your Legis
lators. 1 hope, however, that your next
Legislators will not suffer such tilings, at
least for the offices of Comptroller Gen
eral, Treasurer and Secretary of State, for
(as you have partly seen) llie Tax Payers
will "lose by it 1” But that, seeing now
what I have already done on the “Out
side," viz.: shown you all where und
how you can “ recover" a little “ Lost
Money,” they will let me go “ Inside" of
the Comptroller General’s office and see
what I can do there !

From the Albany News, 14th.(
The Rouble Homicide, nt Arlington.
Arlington, Sept. 12,1876.
Editor* News: — Doubtless the most
of your readers havolieard of the sad
fate of Mr. A. S. Greenwood, of your
oity, aud Tom Nance, Esq., of Early
oousty. The shooting aff ray, which
occurred in this place between these
two geutlemeu, and resulting iu the
death of both, was certainly one of
the saddest difficulties that ever
happened within the knowledge of
the writer. While the difficulty was
expected by a portion of the commu
nity, yet it was hoped that the cause
of ft would be removed to the satis
faction of ail concerned, without any
recourse, whatever, to rush measures.
But violent anget took the place of
calm forethought, and the result pre
cipitated two immortal souls into
eternity, without even a thought of
the fearful leap they were about to
make into the all-receiving and never
returning grave. Mr. Greenwood
fell at the first, shot, of Mr. Nance,
but not without inflicting two mortal
wounds upon his opponent.
As to who is the responsible party
the writer of this is unable to say.
There can certainly be no objection
to his saying that the public are di
vided in their opinion of the real
cause of the difficulty and as to the
culpable party. I have hoard it from
several that Mr. Greenwood had just
cause for complaint on account of
Mr. Nance's conduct towards his wife.
Mr. Nance’s friends think that he
[Nance] did all a man could do to
reconcile Mr. Greenwood, if lie had
been guilty of any breach of propri
ety. Then, again, it is argued that
Mr. Nance’s piun of reconciliation
was in bad taste and altogether im
proper—inviting Mrs. Greeuwootl to
take a ride with him out in the
country—under the existing circum
stances. While some think that Mr.
Greenwood acted wrong in cursing
Nance and firing the first shot, oth
ers think there was sufficient cause,
and justify G. ’s course.
Whatever causes may have actua
ted either party in resorting to blood
shed to appease wrath, it certainly
displays a want of cool deliberation
that should possess every one in try
ing to adjust difficulties, however
trivial or great. 1 must confess that
while there may have been cause for
some degree or unpleasantness be
tween Greenwood and Nance, I am
frank to say that the trouble ought
to have been settled amicably, with
out even a single blow. But the edict
has gone forth and cannot be repeal
ed ; but the living should learn wis
dom, and let prudence and sound
judgment always take the place of
rail), hasty measures.
Our Arlington correspondent gives
to our readers an account of the ter
rible tragedy enacted on the 7th in
stant, with as much precision aud in
as full detail as could bo expected.
No one being in the loom at the
time the shooting commenced, the
full particulars of this shocking
homicide will perhaps never be
known. Both parties being armed,
it is supposed the affair was premedi
tated. It is said by one who was in
hearing distance that Mr. Greenwood
Used übusive language to Mr. Nance,
aud the latter replied that Me was not
armed. Mr. Greenwood said to him
to go and arm himself, but in a few
seconds the firing commenced, Nance
firing two shots into Greenwood
after he was reported to him as be
ing dead.
On the arrival of the remains of
Mr. Greenwood in Albany they were
carried to the residence of his broth
er, George, where appropriate relig
ious services were held, conducted by
the Rev. F. C. Johnson, after
which a large concourse of relatives
and friends attended the burial iu
the city cemetery.
In the double tragedy the young
men of our section have another
warning of the impropriety of car
rying concealed weapons, and the
consequences of a hasty willingness
to shed blood to avenge real or imag
inary wrongs.
Old Times and Old Trices.
Not many of the Sun’s readers,(says
that paper,) remembers the sixpenny
Times of John and Peter Delmouico, I’ll
warrant r
John was lilt and round, and full of
fun. Peter was grave and reserved, and
as polite as Chesterfield in his happier
moments.
Thgy originated the House.
No gilt and gingerbread for them! No
costly mirrors averaging | 5,0(8) each for
them! at $15,000 in their
time! No $1.75 steaks on their bills of
fare!
John and Peter Pejmonico grew rich,
very surely, but they did it very slowly.
“How much for roast beef, John?”
“Six pence, with potatoes, sir,and a de
licious gravy."
“John, I want a particularly nice kid
ney chop, thick, done just light. Cook
it yourself, John. How much?”
“Cook it myself? Let me see. Well,
with the kidneys turned twice, I really
couldn’t do it for less than a shilling sir.”
So it was in 1827, when John and Peter,
the originators of the new system in this
country, opened their modest place in
William street, then as far up town as
prudence premitted them to go.
COLUMBUS, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1876.

CONSOLIDATION OF THE REPORTS OF
CROPS FOR AUGUST.
Corn—The condition of the oorn
crop is six per cent, above an aver
age, which is three per cent, lower
than reported last mouth, and twen
ty-one per cent, higher than on the
15th of September last year.
The seasons were generally good du
ring the early part of August, thus
securing the estimates of last report.
The following eoiuoitlouce is re
markable :
The table shows that the corn
crop in tifteeu counties is short, on
an average, j per eent.; and seven
ty-eight counties show an average
surplus of 7-6 per cent., which re
sults, when equalized, show an aver
age surplus of five per eent. for the
State. The footing of the column of
‘’Condition of Corn” shows thut it
is six per cent, better than an uvor
uge, thus reaching practically the
same result by different processes.
It is certain that an abundant sup
ply of corn lias beeu made.
Cotton—Owing to the extremely
hot und dry weather of the last
three weeks of the month, cotton is
reported at fifteen per cent, below
an average, or nineteen per cent, be
low last report (Ist of August),
though still twelve per cent,, higher
than 15th of September of last year.
Bust repotted in many localities, es
pecially iu Middle ami Southwestern
Georgia. Many reports say the
crops will be open and gathered by
first November.
Sugar cane—Has fallen off thirteen
percent since last report—being re
ported at ninety-four per cent.
Field Peas, Ground l’oas, Chufas
and Sweet Potatoes, are all a little
below an average, aud Sorghum a
little-above, etc.
BUYINU SUPPLIES ON CREDIT.
To the quostion “have farmers
bought on a credit to as great an ex
tent as last year,” ninety-two cor
respondents answer no, and say that
tHo amount purchased is 39 per cent,
less. Three correspondents answer
yes. Thirty-six counties are report
ed as paying in interest on supplies,
bought on credit, SBOO,OOO. As
suming that these 36 counties repre
sent a fair average of the entire State,
the total amount of interest paid
will ho $2,720,000.00.
Now the report of August 15, 1875,
(Circular No. 16), shows that tite
amount of interest paid on supplies
bought on credit this year, was $4,250,-
000. Deduct from this last sum 39
percent, of it, and we have $2,593,000
—a near approach to the result of tiie
reports now in hand.
The diminution in the amount pur
chased on credit, is due chiefly to the
largo crop of fail-sown oats made
this year.
This reduction in the amount, of
interest indicates a reduction in the
amount of supplies purchased oil a
credit of over $7,000,000.00.
These calculations are made to
show farmers, in dollars and cents,
the policy of raising abundant crops
of small grain, of close economy,
and, too, the benefits of poor credit.
The average rate per cent... paid
last year for supplies was 44; this
year, 62!
The experience of the past year is
overwhelming in support of the poli
cy of early fall sowing of rust-proof
and winter-grazing oats and large
areas. Farmers, begin now! secure
your seed at once. Commence imme
diately to sow, and do not let the full
corn cribs prevent you from prepar
ing another large oat crop—greater
than the last. The Department will
cheerfully furnish the riumes of relia
ble farmers who have runt-proof arid
other varieties of oats of their own
raising for sale.
Last year 29 per cent, of the farm
ers bought for cash ; this year, 28 per
cent. Let the number be increased
to 100 per cent.—aye, until they
shall not buy at all, even for cash,
except such articles as cannot possi
bly te raised at home.
GRASSHOPPERS
have appeared in “considerable
numbers” in thirty-nine counties. In
some confined localities they have
been quite destructive, especially to
clover, and in some instances, cotton,
corn, millet and young orchard trees.
In Circular No. 27, the opinion was
expressed that they were the “Hate
ful Grasshopper” of tiie West.
Further research and correspondence
witli persons in the West who are
familiar with this great pest, have
uot resulted in confirming this
opinion.
The species is believed to be tiie
Acridiwn Americanum, which ap
pears some years, under conditions
unusually favorable to their propa
gation, in numbers sufficient to cause
alarm. It is not probable that there
will be any considerable increase in
their numbers next year. The
species has never been very destruc
tive, and is not likely to Decome so.
FARM SEEDS, SAMPLE PRODUCTS, ETC,
The Department frequently re
ceives inquiries for names and ad
dress of farmers who have Bust
Proof and Winter Grazing Oats,
Bust Proof Wheat, etc., for sate.
The Commissioner again reminds
those having such seeds to dispose
of to write immediately to this De
partment, giving name, post-office
address, and price-sacked and de
livered at the nearest railroad depot
—together with a small quantity as a
sample.
The names are carefully entered in
a register kept for that purpose, and
the samples preserved and properly
labelled, thus enabling the Depart
ment promptly to give the desired in
formation. This feature of the De
partment promises to be very useful
—as bringing the purchaser in direct
communication with the producer of
the seeds, aud furnishing for the in
spection of all who visit the office
samples of the seeds thus offered for
sale. ,
In this connection, the Commis
sioner respectfully requests farmers
and others to send to the Department
specimen samples of the matured and
maturing crops of this year—corn,
oats, and other grain, stalks of cot
ton, specimens of forage plants, root
crops, fruits, etc. These specimens
will be labelled, with the name of the
grower or donor, and properly ar
ranged for exhibition.
Very respectfully,
Thomas P. Janes,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

possible to grant an armistice; but
the Porte is prepared to accept poace
based upon tho following points:
Ist. The occupation of fortresses

2d. Destruction of tiie fortresses
constructed by tiie Servians since
1857.
,3d. Investiture of Prince Milan at

vian army to 10,000 men, and three
batteries.
sth. Construction of a railway
across Servia.
A 6th point follows, which is un
decipherable in tiie telegram.
The Porte insists chiefly upon the
necessity of tiie occupation of the
principal Servian fortresses, so as to
prevent fresh aggression. He leaves
the negotations of a treaty on the
above basis entirely in the hands of

Tho final breaking up of Gen. Ter

All tho troops are now onroute home,
except two regiments of infantry,
which will winter at tho mouth of
Tongue river. The Montana troops
number 250 infantry and 120
horse, and including 70 infantry
and tho Second Cavalry under
General Gibbon, left for Fort
Ellis, with a wagon train and
supplies for eighty days. They will
follow the old Stanley trail. The
route is teeming with hostiles, und is
420 miles long; they may encounter
a large war party in the Big Horn
country; they have been in the field
since March, and are poorly clad for

A New I.oan For Turkey.
London, Sept. 15.— The general
commissioners of the Turkish bond
holders have issued a circular em
bodying a scheme for permitting the
Turkish Government to issue paper
money to tho amount of forty million
dollars, to be a legal tender payable
ia gold, bearing no interest. The
whole amount is to be redeemed in
ten years by half-yearly drawings
of two million each, and that sum is
to be provided for by a deduction of
15 per cent., from interest paid to
existing bondholders. One of the pro
visions of the proposed scheme is that
tho Porte should adopt what is called
the Haraond soheme. A Reuter dis
patch from Belgrade says’the report
is curront there that the Turks have
captured two of the Servian redoubts
at Little Zwornick.
The Government will shortly issue
notes of denominations ranging from
one to one hundred francs, having a
forced currency.

Mobbing a Hank.
Pottsville, Sept. 14.—The recent
suspension of the Miners Trust Com
pany Bank, with liabilities of $1,560,-

them through the slack time.

the hank, when he was surrounded
by a crowd of women, who became
so demonstrative that it was neces
sary to call in the police. This eve
ning tho directors made an assign

Removing u Lake.
Bath (N. Y.) Courier.)
Avery competent engineer has
made some careful surveys and esti
mates to determine the possibility of
moving Lake Keuka, about eight
miles further up the river. We are
happy to be assured by him that the
project is feasible and that the ex
pense will he much lower thun has
been supposed. The plan involves
tho buying the strip of farms extend
ing from the head of the lake up to
the corporation hounds of the village.
A trench then being dug of-nuffleient
depth and a line oi barrels filled with
nitro glycerine carefully laid in the
bottom, a single explosion, it is cal
culated, will lay open a chasm seven
ami a half miles long and a half
mile wide, into which the water will
rush in a i>erfeet deluge. Penn Yan
will then be left eight miles from the
foot of the lake, and all that spaco
which is now covered with useless
water will become in a few years
fruitful farms, occupied by an in
dustrious population. The expense
of this great improvement will be
but a triile over one million dollars.
The “moneyed men of Bath” have
already subscribed $400,000, and the
balance can easily be made up by
small subscriptions. A public meet
ing will shortly be held to secure
this important improvement.
