Tit ft Redemption of Lands Forfaited
to tho Slate for Noli Pay meint of
Tax os.
In nur last i iSUC of August 30th, ffe
published a letter from Comptroller*
Qenirnl Iloqe to Hon. S. J.
Loo, in reference to the redemption of
lands sold for the pnjmcnt of tuxes, and
forfeited to tho State fur the want of
bidders, nnd remarked at tho tiuio that,
it was the intention oi Mr. Lee t?test
the soundness of the Cornptroller's at
tit it Hb on thin subject iu the Courts.
Out "wn views nf the matter coincided
with those uf Mr. Lee, but as the snb
jcet was sen t what obscured by the
I amount of legislation which has bcun
; had on the tax question for the past four
years, we determined to postpone an*i
expression tin til jtird could cmhraeo the
opportunity of critically examining the
question. This we hive done, and the
enquiry has sa t is.fi ol us that the Comp
troller is wrong. In the first place, he
seems to labor under a misapprehension
ol the law when ho broadly assert* that
sueh binds cannot be redeemed, und ro
!cr? t ? section 108 <>f the hws of 18GS,
alleged to have boon amended by act
of March 12, 1872, and conlirmat >rj id
hi* ottinibn. Now this section dm s
not refer'to forfeited lands, and was
i never legally amended l y the act refer
red to: and it, is strange that Mr. llogo
should so believe when he bad beforo
him tho Kexi ed Statutes, in Which this
very ?cetion. as well :\n others, of the
tax act ol l?liS were adopted and made
the law of the State by act of Fcbru tsy,
1872, and ol force by the previsions of ^
Hie Constitution Art. 'A. See. 22, Tit
Fx. lop.
At the time of the passage of tho act
of March 12, 1S72. no portion of the
tax act ol 18C8 was ol fuicc, as of that
ycur. and tbctefore, when the Legisla
turn by See. 1, of the furnier,
sought to am Mid Sec. IU8
and other sections of the latter, it lUctn
ptid to amend a statute thai was no lon
ger the Inw of the Stnte. h ving become
nullified by the re enactment and atlop
tion of its provisions in the (X0|e yj
Statute law, made tho law of :hc State
by the act .."d iu the manner beforC'sta.
red Th'd'Revised Statute? embody *H
the Statu laws of the State of Force at
the time 6f the final r*port of tho Com
missioncm. by virtue of A. A. March 0;
1SG0, passed in pursuance of Art. 5,
Sec 3 of the State Constitution* The.
next report was made November 28,
1871, so that this Code contain* all the
jaw of a V'ntutory character in force tip j
to that date, ami made so by A. A.
February, 1S72. and in legal'conrempla 1
lion thiH- Statutes ate to be consider
ed as having In en pascd at the same time
?? In et nsttucting a riVifpd Code of laws
llu\ are to be considered as contem
poraneous acts, parts cd* one entire ays
tern ol law.' ? 1,1 .tkwuil uii Tux Titles,
615. From aud alter the re-ena tment
and ad< ption of the Revised Statutes,
the tax act passed September 15, 18H8,
ceased to ".\ist as the law of tl.o State,
but Its provisions were made law by act
of February, 1S'72. Pamphlet aots,
1S72, pp. 'Jl. It will bo clearly per
ceived, therefore, that tho Legislature,
in Sec. 1 of the Act of Ma?vh 12. 1S72
ignotantly amend d an act that was nr>t :
of force, and that the only law in r da- !
tion to the assessment nnd Onlloetion of
taxes and rcdeSifrdinrr or land* now ol
lorce, is by virtue of the Act of Fl iu tt.i
ry. 1S72.
Mr. IlogC refers to ihe Jninl llcsolu
tioiu; pf l^->2?"i'> as o.\ pl?lltnry of the
intention of the Legislature", an I r.s a
rorrert criterion of eon1-: rue!inn. but as
it is the province ol the Courts, and uot,
tie Leg isla lure, to interpret laws, there
is nothing iu this viow of the quos
ii'Ui.
The point seem*, however, Id be set
tied by the loliowitig citations from the
llovisid Statutes and legal decisions off
the Courts:

When the firing ceased and only

Tho bleeding and groaning men were

the neighborhood nt the time uf the

than two men were engaged in it. They
say * that it seems almost impossible that
two men, armed with common six
shooters, could have duue such rapid
firing, and when the men wero tukou up
