The Delinquent fax Sales.
[News and Courier llfh.")
The County Auditor advertises tor
sale a number of houses and lots and
tracts of land in Charleston countv,
J 7
on A'hich State and county taxes remain
unpaid. The sale is advertised
to lake place on Monday next, and
the taxes reported as unpaid are for
the years 1868 to lr73. The right to
sidl delinquent hinds is conferred by
the tax laws, hut it is not believed
I that there is any authority to sell real
I estate for the delinquent taxes of any
I year prior to the year 187,3. This
| question was carefully considered last
| year, and the counsel who had the
matter in charge are of opinion that
taxes are not a lien on real estate, and
that the power to sell lands, at a given
time, for deliquent taxes of a particular
year does not allow those lauds to
be sold at any other time previous or
subsequent to the day lixed by the
j tax laws.
i The case of the taxes for f he T7on e I
1808 is taken as an example. Where
tax on real estate for the year hail not
been paid, the real estate was liable to
be sold, by the County Treasurer, on
the second Tuesday in March, 1809;
provided sufficient personal property
could not have been found to pay the
, tax. That was the remedy given by
law to secure tlie payment of the tax.
The right to sell ''is no ben," and the
specific and limited right given^to the
treasurers "to advertise the real estate
of the tax-payers of the county, in a
prescribed mood and at a given tune,
and the right io offer it for sale on a j
certain day in each year, to satisfy
the taxes duo by the owner for the
year previous, is clearly exclusive of
the right to detain it after that day, or
to sell it at any other time, or in any
other mode." In the opinion already
mentioned the tax laws are discussed
and alnlyzed, and, applying the rulings
of the Court of Appeals to the case
under examination, it is hold that
"after the day appointed by law for
sale in 1809 for delinquent taxes of
18G8 had passed, the lands were clear
ol the Treasurer's previous limited
right to sell them for the taxes of
1808 due by the owner, and he was
left to his other remedies, viz: the
specific first lien on the personal property
ot Buch owner, and to his remedy
4 .1 ?
k NEWS; MAY 19,
(luring olliee by action at law against
such owner or party charged, as lor
money paid by the Treasurer to the
State for the use of such party." By
the same rule it follows that alter the
appointed sale-day in 1S70 for the
taxes ol 18GI) had passed, the lands
were no longer charged with the
I M VnC ( >( 1 df'.O idbxt I... 1 ' - '
n.Ai.i v>! n'ui', in ivi i in; h:iii:*Uiiy 111 I
1871 they were no longer charged
with the taxes of 1870; alter the saleday
in 187 -they are no longer charged
with the taxes of 1871, and alter saleday
in 1878 were no longer charged
with the taxes ol 187~. It not sold on
the proper day accoiding to law, "the
Treasurer failed to do his duty," and,
in the language of Moses.!,, quoted in
the opinion, the. State 'Mailed to avail
itself of the remedy it held in its own
hands, and third persons are not to
sufler from its own derelictions."
The members of the bar who have
delinquent tax-payers among their
clients, will, we trust, inquire for
themselves into the powers of the
county oflicials and the rights of
the taxpayers, in the matter oi unpaid
taxes on real est ate.

A Healthy financial Hoard.
To the KOitort. of the Sou.
Sm: Your article on the South Carolina
bond fraud is very clever, and no
I doubt will be read with much in treat
| by .your million readers, especially
that portion of them who have been
conned oi meir money.
The whole tiling is a in nutshell. The
Financial Hoard was organized by
I law lo do just what it didn'u do lawlully.
And who composed that hoard?
Gov. Scott,- 1). 11. Cham he rlin, and
Niles G. Barker, assisted on the outside
hv the irrepressible Dr. Nngle at
Columbia, and the hayseed linancier,
I Kiuinpton, in New York.
Money was raised upon the bonds
to pay interest on the lew that were
out. at the time the Financial Board
| was organized, and to raise the value
in market lor the Hood that was to
come; .also to hribc and corrupt a!
venal Legislature to their own base
uses, and divide what, there was left
among themselves. The scheme has
worked thus far admirably, and right
well does F. L. Cardozo know it.
ll the taxpayers who have kicked
up such a rumpus in South Carolina,
Washington and elsewhere, had gone 1
lo the courts and arraigned those
aforesaid worthies lor a conspiracy to j
defraud them, instead oi parading
themselves at the feet of the F.xecu
live, who had no business with their I
local affairs cxcent to see that they
did not make Kilkenny cats or Congo I
i.....i. ? . i t ...
I<l?s(I OI IMOIUJXMVCS, tlli'V WOllht hllVC
secured t he symjvuthy and respect oi
the North, and the oo-operut:on and
assistance of all the swindled bondholders
in tlie country.
Nor will it do to say that justice is
asleep in South Carolina. The courts j
are open there. It corrupt, purge
them out, and obliterate the infamous
King along with them; and what bolter
cases are wauled to test them
than the trial of a coterie of official
rogues who have been eating out the
vitals of the State and then deserted
her to bankruptcy and the scorn of
the world?
But the lion, 1). If. Chamborlin is
the law partner ol the present Attornov-(loncral,
Mr. Melton. How then,
and by whom, can these suits he
brought with any hope of success?
Or can they be brought at. all? The
Hon. F. L. Cardo/.o ought to know.
He paid last year, in New Vork, to a
first-class lawyer and gentlemen one
thousand dollars, and to a first-class
shyster and beat fifteen hundred dollars
of somebody's money to ascertain
these facts, and that is the last that
has been heard of !t. Did be, on his
return to Columbia, weaken at. the
sight, of Moses and that Financial
Board? Steam.

Considerable portions of ihe States
| of Louisiana, Arkansas and .Mississippi
?districts ordinarily cultivated and
| yielding splendid crops of cotton, siigar
and corn?are now under water.
Our latest report liom Arkansas is that
the water stands as high as four ieet
1 above the floors of many of the houses.
Not only plantations, but whole valeys
nre submerged ami the people lloodeil
out. Some settlements appear to have
been under water three weeks. In
Louisiana it is s tid thai tho parishes
underwater "contain two-thirds ol the
wealth, the population, the industry
and the produce ol the State." More
than hall a million acres in that State
which were under cultivation in cotton,
sugar and corn, are overflowed,
besides a million and a 'naif acres of
other lands. All the Yazoo valley is
a lake. In Arkansas the Washita
Hiver, for over two hundred miles, is
from ten to fifty miles 'vide, and the
people flying before the advancing
waters up this stream, with such property
as they could save, were met by
the waters of the Mississippi crevasses,
and were compelled to make themselves
at home on the housetops, where
they remain It is estimated that the
loss to the cotton crop will be three
hundred thousand hales, to the sugar
crop forty thousand bogheads, and
that the tobacco and rice crops will
bo nearly a total loss.
In some places the spread of water
over the country is due to freshets in
the minor streams that feed the Father
of Waters. Swolcn by the spring
rains these streams have exceeded
their ordina.iy limits as streams sometimes
do in every country. lint the
overflow ol freshets is an inconsiderable
item in the sum of the present
trouble. It is the irruption of the
Mississippi that gives the event its
gravity. Hreaches or crevases have
been made by the river in the levee
constructed for the protection of the
bottom lands when t he water is high.
As the dykes in Iloland protect the
country of the hardy Dutchmen from
the "rolling Zuyder Zee," so these
levers, or artificial banks, retaining the
vast river within a given line, save
the rich bottom lands that border it on
either side fur nearly the whole length
of the lower river. Some of the
crevasses are half a mile wide and ten
feel deep, and through these breaches
the waters of the Mississippi rush out
at a rate of from three to nine miles
o.. .... -
on mini, >111 enormous cataract, with
the volume of the great river behind
it, inundating the the fertile fields and
pleasant places that are the homes and
source ol support of the whole people.
The breaches in the levee are so enor
mous that their aggregate width is
counted at fifty miles, and it is estimated
that two thousand million
cubic feet of water is poured every
hour upon the fields of the people
upon whom this terrible calamity lias
fallen. With this quantity of water
flooding the country in every direction
a large part finds its way into the
minor streams, and these, thus swolen,
burst other barriers and inundate new
dist ricts.
With a large portion of these States
ill this condition there is, of course, a
scarcely deserihable distress among
the people. Driven from their homes,
provided only with such portable
stores as they could hastily gather,
ihey have taken refuge in every conceivable
place, and are making, against
every adverse circumstance, a desperate
tight for lily. In some instances
the tragedies by the picturcsotio nn>
\ - - I ~
sentation of which art lias endeavored
to convey to us the story of Noah's
Deluge have been repeated in such unpromising
lives as those of the freed men
and the poor whites o! these three
States. No chronicle can toil the
whole of such a story. There are families,
and, perhaps, many of them, now
gathered on their housetops, surrounded
hy the dreary waste of waters,
having eaten the last of their hastily
gathered stores, silently waiting for
death by starvation or for the subsidence
of the waters. And the trouble
comes from the Mississippi, and that
river will continue high lbr a month,
or will even rise in that period, and
this must, necessarily, be worse before
.it is better. No nhysical calamity so
extreme or so widespread in its operalion
ever afflicted the people of this
country.
All this incalculable misery visited
upon a country and a people is caused
by the defective condition of tho Mississippi
levee; but what is that caused
by?
It is plain enough that the broken
dxkes arc to blame for the presence of
the water; but who is to blame for
the broken dykes, and is, therefore,
responsible for the calamity? Is this
an occurrence in the course of nature,
its inevitable as an earthquake or a bur
' ricane, against \v)iit:h no human for!
sight or providence can guard? Or ia
it :i consequence of criminal disregard
; to important concerns and the failure
' to take steps that previous experience
has taught are sulficient against tins
) danger?
j It is tho latter; and tho responsibility
for this calamity comes liotne in
a great degree .to those who feel it
most, as well as to those who pre altogether
blameless. First of the <

of the war in the general breaking up
! oi ilie whole social organization of the
Southern coutry, which crippled the
levee system that had been contrived
to prevent ocouncnccs ofThis nature.
Next in importance to the war as a
cause is reconstruction, which put tho
whole machinery into the hands of
negroes and carpet-baggers. On every
acre of the State whoso welfare,
and safety even, are involved in the
security of the levee, a tax is laid to
keep this barrier in order; and this
was a part oi government so vital to
the people that .under the old system
j it received '.he attention necessary to
keep it in honest and efficient operation.
Under that system crevasses
occurred, of course, just as there is
wear and tear in every material con.
trivaneo for human safety; hut with
comparatively small damage, the danger
of widspre.nl calamity waApalways " \

its consequences to a wholesale collapse
of the levee; yet the taxes have

have not heen spent honestly. They
