Haa. W. II. liibb. Auditor of Pblic Ae-
Sir Your eompendium contain-
ing the two revenue acts of March
1875, to hand, and you request
my official opinion upon two ques
tions embraced Id your notea in
structions, to-wit : .
1. Under the act abating the tax
es on lands held by the State for
non-payment of taxes, shall State
warranto issued subsequent to
April 1, 1874, and not for prior
claims be received for the redemp
tion of lands sold to the State for
the taxe of 18747
The aet of March 28, 1874 pro
vides, "That Auditor's warrants
shall be receivable In payment for
the redemption of lands, except
those of the class provided in sec
tion 17." Has this been repealed
by subsequent legislation?. Refer
ring to the act of March 1, 1875, sec
tion 20, wo find this provisio,
"That any part , of the Revised
Code of 1871 not since modified by
subsequent, acts of 1872, 1873 and
1874 In relation to said land matters
be made apart of this aot when not
in conflict with the same. By act
of 1871, Revised Code, section 1092.
Warrants are received not only in
redemption but for the taxes before
forfeiture. By the act of March 28,
1874.1 hey are not receivable for
taxes but they are receivable in
payment for the redemption of
lands and this last cited act is not
repealed by the act of March 1,
1875.
I am therefore of the opinion that
the act of March 1, 1875, oonteua
plates the payment for the redemp
tion of lands for the taxes of 1674 In
Auditor's warrants Issued on the
Treasurer subsequent to the 1st of
April, 1874, (except those issued for
prior claims.
2. Are Auditor's warrant! re
ceivable for the privilege tax pro
vlded for In the act of March 1,
1875 T This act provides section 6,
That the Slate tax for general pur
poses la hereby fixed at four mills
Instead of 6 as now provided ; and
In addition to funds' now receiv
able for such tax It may be paid in
State warrants bearing date subse
quent to April 1, 1874, except such
at were Issued for dues prior to that
date.
This language would seem to leave
the question in doubt as to whether
the payment in warrants applies
to the "four mills'! or the "general
purposes," when we consider that
the privilege tax is also for "gen
eral purposes." But section 7 would
seem to relieve the question of all
doubt, providing, as It does, "That
such tux collector shall make affi
davit at the time of the payment of
the privilege tax by him Into the
State Treasury that he has receiv
ed all of the warrants and certifi
cates of Indebtedness paid In by
him at their par value, and that he
has not speculated directly or indi
redly thereon." Why this afflda
vlt, if warrants are not receivable
for the privilege tax ? But It may
be said that this Is explained by
section 0 of the act of March 4,
1875, to regulate the exchange of
certificates of Indebtedness. It pro
vides, "That all State warranto of
the class now required by law to
be paid in their order by the Trea
shrer shall be receivable for all
taxes and other dues to the State
which may become due and pay
able after the 1st of October, 1875,
except the special tax to pay the
principal and Interest on State
bonds. Provided, That nothing in
this section shall be so construed
as to prevent any dues now pay
able In State warrants to continue
to be receivable the tame as if this
act had not passed." It Is quite
clear that this Bet has reference to
the tax of the "four mills" which
becomes due and payable on the 1st
of October, and was not intended
to regulate or govern the collection
of the privilege tax. The provisio
is In reference to the taxes now
payable In warrants, What tax Is
it now payable In warrants If not
the privilege tax ? There Is no tax
levied by the State and now due
except the privilege tax. The four
mill tax Is not due until October 1,
1875. The bond tax and school tax
is payable in currency. The am
onnt paid for the redemption of
landt Is not a tax neither is the re
tail license.
I am, therefore, clearly of the
opinion that the privilege tax Is
payable In Auditor's warranto is
sued subsequent to April, 1874, and
not for prior duet, and I think the
Instructions prepared by you are In
strict accordance with the law,
Very respectfully, -
G. E. EBiB,
Attorney-, cseral.

rrura the X T. Herald
"Put money in the purse," said
lago; but be never laid that down
lor an official maxim. To make
money out of public office was once I
thought horrible. They all do It
now. Andrew Johnson refused a
present of a carriage and horses.
Congress impeached him. Now,
what man in office declines any
present from anybody? Shall we
ever get back to the old decencies?
We believe it. We believe, with
living faith, in the Republic. The
present order will pass away and
leave the great heart of the people
the vital institutions of the Re
public sound to the core. I'ortei
ante Agamemnon. There were
statesmen of sensitive scruples and
nice honesty In Tennessee before
Andy. We have seen a letter from
James K. Polk ("whose seat an
other fills") to a banker in Wash
ington, who stood high in his con
fidencea man of many virtues
with tbe toft heart aud the un
bounded charity. Mr. Polk had
ordered the purchase of some Uni
ted States stock. Afterward he
thought that the President ought
not to deal in the public securities.
He ordered the stock sold and the
money he had paid tor It replaced
to his credit. The stock had risen
and there was profit on the trans
action. The President would not
take it, the banker would not keep
It, and it was sent to the Orphan
Asylum of the District of Colom
bia. We remember in this con
nection a famous political case that
came Into the courts, Cobbett ex
cept tbe Rev. Dr. Swift "the most
efficient libeller that ever exercis
ed the trade" charged William
Pitt with making money on the
Stock Exchange. Pitt brought an
action for libel. British statesmen
have been always very sensitive
on this point of character. Cobbett
said it was not libel ; that the
Prime Minister had tbe common
right to deal In stocks, only It was
Indecorous and fit subject of cen
sure But Mansfield, Pitt's old
hereditary foe, asserted for him the
true doctrine In public morals. He
ruled that the Minister was right;
that could not honestly deal In
stocks ; that it would be using his
official knowledge for private gain ;
that It would be exposing a public
truat to be brought In opposition to
private interests; that It would be
of mischievous and immoral ten
doncy, and that the action for libel
was well taken. Such is the high
doctrine of true statesmen, of men
of cultivated minds and high and
sensitive principles. .We give the
letter of President Polk never be
fore In print. In 1847 three thous
and dollars we a a large sum for
Presidents to handle ; now It is
hardly change to carry In one's
pocket:
Washington City, May 7, 1817 '
Dear Sir When I requested you,
early In March last, to purchase
for me three thousand dollars of
public stock, I informed you that I
desired to invest that sum, held by
me as a trust fund. On the day
following our conversation, you
transferred certificates of United
States stock to tne In my own
name, and not as trustee fot my
ward, for which I paid you a pre
mium of one per cent., or the sura
of three thousand and thiity dol
lars. I do not doubt my lawful
right to make such investment;
but, in view of my official position,
I deem it proper to relinquish tho
stock by retransferring it to you
and invest, the fund in some other
mode. I desire, therefore, to trans
fer the stock to you, without pre
mium or Interest, and request that
you will place to my credit the pre
cise sum which I paid you for the
stock. I am, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
' James K. Polk.
, General Butler's views about
"riding on tho rail" are worthy
of consideration, and we repro
duce them, as follows: "I sit in
the forward end of the car for two
reasons: to avoid tho bad breath
and foul air which one finds col
lected in tho rear of the car; and
next, because there Is far less dan
gor in case of telescoping. I pre
fer the left side because every car
opens to the left, thereby throwing
the draft of air to the right."

MISS., SATURDAY, 3LV11CII Sir, 1H7H,
Origin f Sale Witchcraft.
During the winter of 1691-2 a cir
cle of young girls was formed in
Kalem Farms, which met at the
house of the Rev. Mr. Parrls, for
the practice of palmistry and for-
tune-telling, neeroniancy, maic
aud spiritualism. In this circle
there were (1) Elizabeth Parris,
the ministers daughter, aged nine
years, who at first had a leading
part in the subsequent excitements,
but was early removed from them
by her father; (2) Abigail Wil
liams, Parris's niece, living in hts
house, aged eleven; (3) Ann Put
nam, aged twelve, daughter of the
parish clerk and recorder, a promi
nent man at the Farms ; (4) Mary
Walcott, seventeeu, daughter' of
Jonathan Walcott, Mr. Parris's
next door neighbor ; (5) Mercy
Lewis, seventeen; (6) Elizabeth
Hubbard, seventeen, niece of Dr.
Griggs, the village physician, and
resident in his family ; (7-8) Eliza
beth Booth and Susannah Sheldon,
each eighteen, belonging to fami
lies living near at hand ; (0) Mary
Warren, aged twenty, a servant in
the family of John Proctor, who
was brought to the scaffold by the
girls ; and (10) Sarah Churchill, a
servant in the family of George Ja
cobs, Sr. Her employer also be
came their victim. With these
ten other person were drawn to aot,
There were 'John Indian, and
Tituba, two slaves of Mr. ParrU's,
who probably were brought to the
colony from the Barbadoes, and be
sides these, one or two others ; but
the girls; with the slaves, formed
tbe circle, and were the leading
characters In the events which
hare been a horror and mystery
ever since they transpired. In
those event these girls were bold
and even viclottt in their bearing,
and evinced an utter absence of
compunction or commlaeratiou ; ex
cept in one or two Instances, dis
playing a complete disregard of the
agony and destruction they brought
upon others. In the course of the
winter they become expert in the
arts they were learning. Gradual
ly they came to exhibit their at
tainments to beholders. At first
these exhibitions consisted of cree
ping Into holes, and under benches
and chairs ; putting themselves in
to odd and unnatural postures, ma
king wild gestures, and uttering
Incoherent and unintelligible
sounds. Then they were seized
with rpasms, dropped insensible'to
the floor, or writhed in agony, pre
tending to suffer tortures, with loud
and piercing outcries. Naturally
they began to draw upon themsel
ves general attention. Soon they
came to be styled "tho afflicted
children." In the early stages no
explanation of their condition was
so much as suggested to any one
but as soon at Dr. Griggs was call
ed in, and had examined them, he
declared them bewitched. In those
days, and prior to those days, phy
sicians frequently disposed of diffi
cult cases which came before them
by such a resort. The profession
must bear its fair share of responsl
bllity for succeeding occurrences.

A Race for a Wife,
From the gKlpin (Oregon) Stiitosmiin.
A few days slnco n young man
hailing from tho classic precincts
of La Creole applied to the county
clerk of Polk county for a license
to marry a young lady, which the
accommodating clerk issued. The
same day another young man call
cd for a license to marry. The
clerk was not in aud his deputy
issued the license. Tho two licen
ses were issued for the same girl.
The first party hastened to tho
homo of his young inamorata, aud
fixed up in gay attire they hasten
ed to tho minister's residence to
have the knot tlod iu regular or
thodox style. While the cercmo
uy was being performed party No.
2 camo panting into the room, his
face flushed, and his almost bro
ken heart throbbing perceptibly.
Iu answer to the question whether
there were any who objected to
tho buns, No. 1 yelled out that he
did, at tho same time presenting
his licence, duly issued by the
county clerk.
Here was a quandary the man of
God couldn't get through his cler
ical brain, aud he stopped, leaving
the party unmarried. No. 1 came
to this city next morning to con
sult an attorney, He was in a
world of trouble Frustrated iu
his cherished dosiro of wedding
his lady-lovo the day before, ho
wanted to appeal to the law per

HIS EIUE.
Austin Smith said he was guilty
of disturbing the peace, but he
asked the con rt: ,
"How would yon like it if your
mother-in-law came into your
house and called you a red-headed
sneak and a black-hearted liar?"
"She called you that, did she?"
" She did, Judjje, and she threat
ened to brain me with the poker.
You don't know what an old she
wild-cat she is." J
HEKSIOE.
At this moment a stern-faced fe
male, spectacles in baud, and a
look of deep disgust in her byes,
rose from her chair, walked for
ward and exclaimed :
" Judge, he is an awful liar, and
if you knew as much about hi in as
I do you'd say that he ought to be
lashed to tho bomv Ho inorrJ!tl
my darter, ho did, the vi-ul wrolch,
aud she'd starve to death if I did
not carry her provisions. He's
lazy, mean, sassy and worthless,
aud I'll say it to his face."
" Oh, you old rattlesnake!" he
growled through his teeth.
"Oh, you black-hearted wret
c h!" she hissed, putting her
noso almost against his.
"See here, now," remarked his
honor, laying aside his pen, "it
pains me more than tongue can
tell to soe respectable persons en.
gaged in a family row. You ought
to be ashamed of yourselves, and
I ought to send you both to tho
workhouse"
" He's tho one ! " she shouted.
" She's tho old vixen t " said he.
"Austin Smith, put on your hat
and make a bce-lino for homo,"
exclaimed tho court; "and if you
spit in your mothcr-iu-law's face
again I'll wait on tho corner for
you with a handspike. And you,
Mrs. Johnson, put on your specta
cles, tio a doubto bowkno', in your
bonnet strings, and go homo and
mind your own affairs. If your
daughter has half your temper,
she's abundantly ablo to tako euro

tand's life miserable. I throw the
caso out of court."
" And he can call mo an old mail

" Go home bo far away right

" Well, I know ono thing," she
said, ns sho went out;" if that

Dissatislied Republicans turned

In 1870, if it Is to be done at nil
Without the cordial co-operation of
this element tho Democracy will

That shifting public opinion, which
constitutes the balance of power Iu
Afriwlcan politics Is not firmly fix

backward and forward, and, so to
sneak, Drcnarlng to crystallize. If
Democratic organs and leaders dis
play a wholesome discretion be
tween now and next December,
and if the Democratic majority in
the next House are true to their
own pledges and to the best anteee
dents of the party whose principles
they profess, then that party may
confidently rely upon such an ae
cession to its ranks as it will carry
it successfully through the coming
presidenl'ul campaign. Otherwise
not. ,A little carelessness, a lit

In the South, no matter what the
provocation to It may be, ill be

country as a good and sufficient
reason for a continuation of the
