In our last i ssue of August 30th, we published u letter from Comptrollor Ocn.Tal ITogc to Hon. S. J. Tee, in reference to the redemption of lands sold for the payment of taxes, and forfeited to the Slate fnr the want, of bidders, and remarked at the lime that il was the intention of Mr. Loo t?test the soundness of the Comptroller's at titude on this subject iu the Courts. Our own views of the matter coincided with those or Mr. Leo, but as the sub ject was somewhat obscured by the amount of legislation which has been had on the Lax question for the past fodr years, we determined to postpone nipt expression until prd could embraeo the opportunity of critically cxamiuirg the question. This we have dune, and the enquiry has sutisueu us that the Comp troller1 is wrong. In the fir.-t place, be seems to labor under a misapprehension of the law when he broadly asserts that such land? cannot be redeemed, and re fere to section 108 of the laws of 18(18, alleged to have been amended by aet of March 12. 1&72. nod confirmatory oT bis oxenion. Now this section does not refer to forfeited lands, and was never legally amended by the act refer red lp: anvl it is strange that Mr. lingo should so believe when he had beforo him the Revised Statutes, in whieh this very ,'cction. as well as others, of the tax act ol 1 bli8 wore adopted and made the law of the State by act of February, IS72, and cd force by the provisions ?f the Constitution Art. 3, Sec. 22, Tit Kx. Pep. At the time of the passage of tho act of Maruh 12. 1S72, no portion of the tax act of 1SC8 Wae cd force, as of that year, and thciclorc, vihcn the Legista turo by Pee. 1, of the former, sought to am Mid Seo. 1US" and other sections of the latter, it sttctu ptid to amend a statute thai was no lon ger the law of the Stnte, b ving become nullified by the re enactment aud adop tion of its proviaionsi in the <'o le of Statute law, made tlu: law of the State by the act end in the manner before sta red The Revised Statutes embody all the Statu laws of the State of force at the time of the final r-port of the Com missioners, by virtue of A. A. March 9i I860, passed in pursuance of Art. 5, Sec. 3 of the State C<oi*:ilutiou* Tho next report was made November i!^, j 1871, so that this Code contains all the law id'a Statutory character ia force op j to thai date, and made so by A. A. | February, 1S72, and in legal Conrentphi * tion tin t*c Statutes ate tobe consider ed as having in ei| pasod at the same time j "In const: ucting a revi?ed Code of laws tlu.y are to be considered as contem poraneous acta, parts of one entire sys tcin of law."?1,1 .ikwoll ou 'lax Titles, GIT). I'n in aud alter the re-enactment and ndi ption of the Revised Statutes, the tax uct passed September 15, ltfn'8, Ceased to r.vist as the law of tho State, but its provisions were made law by net of February, 1S72. F.niiphlet aots, 1S72, pp. 37. It wiil be clearly per ceived, therefore, that the Legislature, in Sec. 1 of tho Act of Ma>vli 12, 1872 ignotanlly amend-d an net thai was not of force, and that, tho only law in rela tion to the as>cssnient nnd eolVSction of taxes and redemption" of land's now of force, is by virtue of the Ac/ of Fclmia ry, 1S72. Mr. Hogc refers to ihr Joint Resolu tions of IH6'A?'73 as oxjdniitory of the intention of tho Legislature, an ! ns a correct criterion of const Auction, but. as it is the province ol the Courts, and uut the Legislature, to interpret laws, thore ;s nothing iu this viow of the ques tion. ?as L i,.fc,B * it ,< *os ???>"'?' v.' .. The point seems, however, to be set thai by the following citations from the Revised Statutes and legal decisions of tho Courts: ''The County A uditor, or his Deputy shall attend all **Ie- of ib-li 1 juent real estate, made by tho Treasurer of his county, etc; and if any pnroel was offored for sale, and not sold for want of bid dcrs, or shall havo boon bid in on be half of the State, he shall enter it on record, A."
