The bill to provide lor the collection of taxes by the State, and bv the several counties ot the Hiate, on proper ly, polls and incomes. On motion, the bill was ordered to be read section by section. In section 1st., Mr. Modoett inovel t strike out, in line 7, "1 KflO," and inner! 1808" Mr. Hodnett said lands in 180(1 were valued at double what they are no. In thecpttonand tobacco growing section , the effect ol the w had been more heav ily felt than in any other, and the lands in t-liose sections constituted the wealth ot the people and were very valuable indeed. Now since the elose of the war tliey have depreciated greatly in value. The (lonMi tutlon says expresnly that property shall lie taxed at Ua true value ; therelore, this see tion assessing land's at a jalue fixed years ajjo, when property of that description, a a gaiasffft thjntjv.had greatly tjepreci.nied sipct- tliat time, is a direct violation of the ton BiMution. lie would warn cob red men that in votiilgtiir this unjust basis of tac tion they were voting against their interes', lor this reason : The employee would pj jlint , 'such wages as he could afford. Bnd it the heavy burden ot taxation Vas laid upon their lands, it would be deducted from the w aires ot the employer. Such a system Cf taxation would be oppressive to the people1' and its unfairness and injustice were obvi ous to all. This section coolly proposed to lew a tas based upon the valuation of s.i o,, 18(10, when the huida were ia, ltU)t-.tatai.,,.Bj. Mr, fiwceU A .bill to .grant, to the of cultivation and very valuable, in-spito of p fact that their Tifue lias decreased almost two tmros us asKect upon uie grounds ol expediency,, constitutionality and nrim, tnst'.ats atneinlitKiat be sdpt ed. - v- MiKsrs. Vest, Blair, Ingratj and French di leiuh d the stctiou as reported by the ComiYiiVtep andoptited the-amendrnent. Mr. Jltkvae moved r aratindment til the smeuduienti "Tlial the Coinrni'-ainneis of the county shall appoint two Justici s of the Peace in each township pi make the return of all the lands, in order that all the lands lo the Stats may be returned at the same time the taxes arc listed." Mf. Malone said: Jn this smendhient it is proposed to value the. laud in 1809, and not tr& f,ake the Talua; tionot 1860 or ,1868-. The Constitution provides that the, property of the State shall be taxed at its "true cash Valuation." WoulS it net ,'De more in 'CoupirmH; to, ine Coastitutina to assess the vajos of laud now t The ralue of land, lik mules or horses, auctoates in ralup. For this Legis lature to fix tbi asscsoment ef 1860 as the b-tie valuation, is ao absurdity. Gentlemen say that the emergencies ol the Treasurer require the immediate adjust ment of this matter, but this is no reason for s iolation of the Constitution; aud at the sitme time do great iuj ustice to the people of the State. '' The gentleman tram Hew Hanover aays that the larsje landholders should be requir ed to pay th taxes orf their land, although they may refuse to cultivate the same, but this preposirion does pot prevent that, ob ject being obtained f Will sot the Asesor determine the vslue.

'- - - - It seems to me that it must lie apparent to every intelligent man, that the credit of the State is growing worse every day. Then must be some cause for it. Is if unreason able to attribute it, for the most part, to bad aud injuiiictsiis legislation The people are industrious, honest, and economical They are strivinir to make the waste ulaces "blossom as the rose," It cannot hs on ac count ol any improper conduct, indicroliou or cotruption on their part. It must have a cause, Sir, and I, without hesitation fix it upon the Legislature and the public. Statu officers. "Thpbfi than nineteen millions of dullara. How are Ihe impoverished people ol the Hiate to pay the taxes! They cannot do it. The State and private Stockholders have been paying taxes nd appropriating money fsr building Railroads, lor ihe last twenty years and upwartH, nd who htm tieso. iKUfiillad ? I admit, Sir, that, many pei son hare been benefilled, but I know that while mHy have, it has been, to a great extent, "at the expense of a greater number. The people of the 8: ate have now, aa a general thing, to pay aa high (and often much higher) lor their good ad neces saries, as they bad to pay (or them wlieu they hauled their goods from Wilmington, Fiiyetteville, Cheraw, Georgetown, and Charleston on wagons. Yes, Sir, it is "so in my part of the State. Tbs faro and freight lot transportation is so high that the people generally derive little or no benefit Irom the Railroad; and instead ol these being reduced, they are fwing increased, even oo the most important Roads in the State. I am not inaJkiijg a tirade oa the Railtoads at' all, but upon lh management ol them The people sud the Slate never get their just rights, where corrupt official aud selfish men control, or hav,e the man -agement of, her property. I am opposed to appropriating another single dollar until I know it is going to be. faithfully applied and until I believe it is to the interest ol the Stale to do so. Iam satisfied, Mr. Speaker, that there ;s in existence, in North Carolina, and ln not tell how lar it extends, s "Rnilroad Ring." Its purpose, is to fleece the good old stale, and make several millions rl dollars out ol ilii tiling; and the people will tfnrt, - "when it ia -too la, fhat their money ia gone, and their all is gone, and the Roads unfinished, begging lor further Siato aid,' ami that-this.
