And in a Raleigh paper we .-^ee a notice to that ef- !f. t by a lax collector. As we have heretofore said, we huve not ii doubi that the Commissioner of 'I'axes, Mr. Allan, has plac ed a wrong coustruriion upon the law la sup port ol our view, we refer to the anne.xed article from a V irgiuia lawyer which we ccjty from the Rirhniond hig', which shows, not only that the law ib uot a.^ ^r. Allan construes it, bai^ that undei tuch a coii- .truction, carried out to it-s full result.-^, ihe !>t*veiii- !it*Mil would lose more than it would gaiu. I he history of the matter is this: The lax law ot -Ipnl 24, 11)63, provided, after imposing ibe ta-i in iiiad on held crops, aud requiring delivery at pn- itied points within two months from the time iln y v-re properly estimated, that If not delivered by that time, lu .-»uoh order, he shall be liable to pay lifiy per rent, more thou ihe > -uiuatetl value ol the iwrlion aforesaid, to be col- .f K'd by the tax colle,’tor as hereinafter prej^ rihcd.’’ I’hu was the law under which the iithes of the rop of lSt)3 were eeUmated and coll*^ted.

Allan s con struction, '•the lit ot .lanuary n'-rt ' nu-ans the istol , Ji^ouary Uxit. I*. Last night ^ mail t>rought District (Quarter masters' uoUce.a in several of our North Carolina •ichaoge.s, requiring payment df the tithes under a pvoally of 500 per cent., frotu which it apjn-ar» that Mr. Allan s construction ot the law i.-> to prevail u/i- lil re veiled by Congress or the Court'. The safe ac.»l proper course, we think, will be fo conform to the requirement of the otlif t-r. looking to Congress, whi/'h. will ineei.utxt raooih. tor a return of auv a- inount wrongfully paid, of wbii.h wr tiuuw mei-e is uot much rea.^on to doubt. I therefore that of 1063 rouat be rt»tuid4‘red a? ont of j existence, and that of 1864 pnt into its place, and as of the same dat’ ReafK>aiaff thiLH, he makes out the plain case that the five-folci penalty is applieahle j to tw crop of 1863. ’ I r* See tor a moment how absurd. Put the act of j 1863 Mt of the way, and ptit that of IJ64 in its place, j aiulot the same date, thus making out a case for the 1 tive-Cold penalty, and the farmer, by the i.um^xict, and thfi sam-e strtion of it, has a right to r>tain all the rorn which he u^'ted ni- rearing a tut fatttnirtg his hng. For by tlie 10th section of the act of 1864— the same .section quoted by Mr. Allan as imposing; the live-fold [H-nalty—there Ls specmlly exempted from the lax in kind “such portion of the crop as may be ne.-essary to raist* and tatten the hogs of .'Ul h farmer for pork." If Mr. Allan will .show even the semtilant e of a reason why he coult use section 10 "t4» get the heavy penalty and at the same time withhold the beiieht'. 1 shall be glad to >iee it. If he can do it as to the crop of 1863. he can do it as to all future lime. 1 beg t.» repeat, the only ground on which .Mr. Allaji can base his claim to the live-fold IK'naJty will romi>el Wm to yield a point of intinitely mon* value to the Government. And proceeding further. I remark thalil Is not one pr>int alone. The .'«ame section lo exempts not merely the com for making pork, but it exempt-s enormous amounts of property under the lirst, second, thiid ami fourth heads of that .section. All of this prop'rty stands exiw tly as does the faili'niBg corn. None of it is exempted h* the u t ut 1863. Piu«h ba«'k the a t ot lS64 tar enough to gt'i the tive-fdd penalty, aud you ha\f pushed it far enough to lose the lux on all ihrs j)roperty. l..arge numt»ei-s of i)eople have paid their tenth with none of the dniwi»ucLs to which, under .Mr. Allun's reasoninsj. they wen* enlilltMl. Many of them j>aid it beiort* the act of 18G4 was passed. Are all of them to t)*repaidr W not, aj^ those yet to }»ay entitled to the privileges referred to? Hut enough. The ac* of 1864 is erromwusly con- strned by Mr. Allan. Wiebling the vast power which he din‘s. holding iu the hollow of his hand the luestioii to many of breivd or no bread, let him re- vi*;w tlies** two acts of (,'ongre'S.
