tu- nttention was called a few days
a wo to tie following which appeared
in the Eialeigh Em of the 7tli inst
'A general impression prevails
that because the' Democracy have
full swiay here, all is right. It is
quite otherwise, and people begin to
gee it. ; There are some siartmig
rumors in regard to the tax returns
in this countv, showing that thous
ands off dollars of property have not
been lisjted as required by law."
saKs "J. S. Jr.," Charlotte cor
responAent of the Era, I suppose Mr.
8. is writing in the interest of his
Diirtv and wishes to create the im-
Dio.-ii in thnt there is a collusion of
(.'ountjf authorities and some of the
i-,x papers. If so, the insinuation
is a slajnder.
'hiie it is true that many have
failed tlo lit for taxation as required
bv hnvi facts prove that a large ma
jority of that number do not profess
lo belong to the -Democratic party,
but supposed to be the partv
friendslof "J. 6. Jr."
The Board of Commissioners for
the Coiiinly have appointed A. H.
Miu tinj, 5ind the undersigned
(o investigate this matter, and -j'orniation
from any source, that
may enable them to reach delin
liun!s,: will be thankfully received.
This Com mi, tee is now in session at

give 3.1 r. J. S. Jr. a special invitation
to le and appear before said Com
mittee p:i Tues.lay, the 2lst day of
January, and be shall be heard
touching and concerning facts (not
s'.artliiijg rumors) "showing thous
ands of dollars worth of property
have npt been l'sted as required by
law." I would not thus publicly
notihe! J- S. Jr., if I knew his loca
tion; but in a city like ours, with
several; thousands who can write J. 8.
Jr., it iould require more time than
1 have at command to hunt him up.
Hereafter, should he have anything
to say on this subject, I hope he will
give thje number of his ward, street,
At., vvljiich may enable us. to coni
municnte with him if neceesary in a
more private way.
1 haye been connected with the
government of this County since the
adoption of the late Constitution,
and profess to know sometingof its
miancial management, and can say
truly, I know of no attempt of its
officer to pocket the people s nion
ey. And in iustice to J. S. Jr. I will
iy that he is the first to mv know
ledge, bf any shade of politics, that
lias ever intimated anvthihs: of the
kind.- S
