A Few Words 'to ;T-ajer.. '.v y';
It would be well fbr thft t payers 4q beaf
in mind : that ; all;propejrty.iupon. which the
taxes remain unpaid on the 1st day of October:
will on that day be advertised, after which
tbey will be subjected to an additional cost of
13 80, for execution,' probate cost and advert
tisintj, no matter how ' large or small may be
tlie amount of the tax. The sheriff is necessi
tated to act promptly in this matter from the
'act that he is required by law, to make his re
turns iu December. To dor Uiis he must ad-
vertise on the lst of October, as hr it legally
compelled to1 give 30"days notice before the
sale takes place." This will bring it to the first
sale day in November,-which la. Saturday, the
4tb, whiQh will just allow him the necessary
time to perfect the deeds to ' the State before
be bas to make his returns. Tax payers will
therefore have until the last day of September
in 'which tojetUe their; taxes,; but they are
earnestly requested to come forward as early
practicable; and not leave the performance
f tbis doty until the last moment, See notice

Tbe Contested Election Case.
.! The question of eriaino frauds i and infor
malities practiced during the late i election -in
this county cameup before the Board of County
Commissioners yesterday ana -arguments were
heard as to whether the Board was competent
to hear and decide cases 4f this character.
Mr. London, Esq., Attorney for the Board,
argued that, tie Board was purely a ministerial
body and not a judicial one; that they were re
quired to compare the, returns f and . send a
duplicate copy to the Attorney- General, - and
if there was any illegality it could t be ferreted
but there.-.' j ' . ; 5. -
Tlie counsel for "the- contestants,1 vMessiS.
Ashe and Poisson, contended that 'the Board
could legally and properly decide the ques
tion bf the Illegality 'of the . i'eturns,i atd
argued at some length to sustain; their posi
tion. The Board, however, decided by - an
unanimous . vote that it had no jurisdiction in
the matter; and then j proceeded.; to compare
the vote and to attend to.i pther; 'business be,
fore them. i. . , ' )".",; -'i ' ' 1
