Actdi ess nil cotnnumKntionB to THE TRIBUNE BEAUFORT. S. C. , TAX TITLES. The rcccat decision of the U. S. Dibtilct Court in the matter of titles to property acquired at Direct tax sales during ihc wnr and which was argued last week iu Churltscn, can scarcely bo regarded as r. dccisicn fen. shade wing a decree as to rlieir validity "by the Supreme Court before whom an appeal lias been taken. The court declined taking exception to alleged irregularities in the manner and form of conducting the sales or of holding jurisdiction over the nice questions involving the constitutionality of the acts :.uthorizmg them. An appeal was taken from the decision rendered, which was a ccree simply upon the nn iits of the facts .. .u vi?>uuvc iiuu hut. u|?iii iuu iaw, anu 1 .scrcforc cannot be regarded either as fiu.il or satisfactory. The questions in the issue of these cases are of vital importance to the w hole section of the Sea Island Coast that fell into|the hands of the Government during the war. The whole amount of tr.x levied upon the State of So.* Carohr a as her quota of the war. tax by the v'enl. Government was realized by the tale of iheee properties upon the coast, w hich, from their exposure, fell a prey to this purtial legislation and upon those who in {heir absence, were powerless to restrain. > Commissioners were sent down to survev oud lay off the abandoned properties aud they were disposed of by the Govirnment agents under authority of the several acts passed from time to time, and -the tax thus raised was placed to the <redit of the whole State by whom the quota was Bnid to be due. At the termination of the war the former inhabitants who had been ordered from tlieir homes by the Confederate Government, returned to find them held and occupied "by others and themselves homeless, amid their former possessions and which had "been alieniated during their enforced absence. For fourteen years tiny have not until now eyen bad an appeal from the action of the Tax Commissioners and their properties have been held by purchasers under the Government tax sale. To our minds it matters not what may l>c the decision arrived at, either upon the facts or upon the law, there can be but one action of the Government that will give stability to the titles acquired under the operations of the Direct tax i.ets, or that will insure a well confidence in theii validity. We do not bee how it were possible fof 'tbe Governineut to retroveree its action so far as the present holders arc concerned, and an indemnification of the former owners in ? consideration of their quit claims would sec in to lie the only method of adjustment feasible, >?s it might be the only one even partially just and equitable. To admit nothing of our grave doubts of the permanency of our modern society, the chain of titl?s thus arbitrarily broken | and unestablished must always operate; prejudicially to the present holders ot pr< perty thus aoquirt d and render their nnurc to say ine lepst unsatisfactory ^ and precarious, whether with or without reasonable pretest. '1 he questions involved are too intricate nnd the fundamental principles of the laws of succession tire ico deeply laid for us in the limits of uuurihle like this to discuss. We have y'jievir doubted the constitutionality or authority of the nets le vying the tax but h.. u] an ine nqusitions to ccabic tlicui to withstand legal scrutiny is anntLer question.

( W. | -rj-T - t jpFg.i Port Royal 8. C. May G. 1875. 1 ( Editor Tribune. For sometime past the friends of the ' Port Royal Rail Road have been looking 1 forward to the meeting of the stockhold- i ers, on Wednesday the 5th ir.st, with j considerable and painful interest. No j divjdends having been dcclnicd since tlie completion of the Road and no wages having been paid to employees for i the past four months were sufficient causes for the universally expressed ' desire that the May meeting should re- \ form nbuses of power und provide means i to secure to laborers and other employees j of the Road prompt payment for their hard and justly earned wages. In prosperous times it is quite a hard . ship to v in en who arc altogether dependent on their labor to do without nt least monthly payment, but when wc take into | wiBiutnwiu iiiu pfiwni unuuciai ac- ' pression and the impoverished condition of this section we feel unnhle to name; the amount of suffering and privation | endured by this useful and important J element during this long period of non-j payment. It appears almost miraculous { how men of families who are engaged in this calling have been able to keep the wolf from the door while working so long on bad promises. To udd to the importance of the occasion at ten o,clock I the steam Tug Pcttit appeared at our| wharves freighted with the beauty of and men of Beaufort and offered oppor! tur.ity to stockholders to share the pleas j urcs of excursion no 1. of that day to . U* S. Fleet. At half past twelve p. m. i the stockholders assembled at the earnest j solicitation of BondhokUrs Atty and and after reporting stock represented i and passing minor resolutions ndjourned to dine, to take part in trip no 2 to the I Fleet, and to assemble aguin for final uc i tion at 0 p. in. Judging from this refresh-; ing programme outsiders were pur>uadcd [ that these financial lights meant bu-im-ss j1 intended to have a full expose of the | affairs of the "Road, and "go'' for delin-1 qucnts with prompt and unsparing ju,-: tice. } i Upon our entrance at the 6 p. m. meeting we found the most prominent and impos-j ing figure to be Thos. P. Branch the I President. I had often heard him | roundly abused by Bail Bond men and i . iniagiaed that he wus a hard featured | closcfistcd man, whose haggard counte j J nance plainly showed the ill effects of | . avarice, speculation and excessive mental ( toils. But in the lull and handsome j countenence of the ologantly dressed and j portly individual who was pointed out as the late President of P. R. R. I saw every evidence of a light heart and full purse, fair, fat, saucy and forty. And to judge from the ensv and almost flippant manner with uhch he treated the civil and necessary questions of his experienced and able opponents; we were almost made to believe that we were intlve pres- i ence of modernized Nero who could jov-1 I fully strike the chords of mirth while his I j Rome was in flames. We do not know n udi about Rail : Reading, and to judge from the experience! of Port Royal Rail Rend men are not '1 anxious to obtain this class of knowdge, but we were surprised thar Mr. Branch was not r?-ady and anxious to give a full and detailed report of his administration. It is possible that It's nport would have rivaled Ci nsar's Gallic note in brevity had it not been tor the prompt "time', call < f a sturdy up country stockholder who ottered a resolution requiring u satisfactory report. We are acquainted with a few of these I stockholders and know th:m to be gentlenun of ability and enrage and one especially is amply qualified to fill any position of trust or profit, but we are nevertheless constrained to. agree with ...? ht <11 r-u vwig lllitl i tlje stockholders eaniC, uict, had a good time but did nothing. Mr. D. C. Wilcou the new President is a man of good business n putat ion, and by those who know him it is expected he will make every ?x rti<?n to redeem the had reputation cf the 1'. rt Royal Hail ! itoad. 1 he eh ction of the pr< sent Board of Directors has met with dcmnrrstratioi.sol joy on alt udee A. latent sati-fnetion I secerned to posse. b e '.-ry ? ne basul upon j the fact tln.t though unpn pared to ju<h>ej 1 | the capabilities oi mngt of the gcntivui.-ii chosen, they f> It sujv at least they cmild I not do worse than the ohl Board.

A glorious field is opened lor the exertions of the present Board. The primary object in view, in i he construction of this road, was the development of a much weeded deep water Sea put on the Atlaunc coast. Tbi? object 1ms been wrongfully disregarded I t ins past two years, but 1ft spite if predjudi<< anu bpp >sition, the little town . steadily increased its business. 1 he attention of the present Board will evidently be directed to the .interest* of our rising Port* uud we hope, that ?rctwelvo mouths shall have passed uway, the commercial prosperity of l'ott Kojal will be on a sjiull ar.d respccta\ Z I iriK j "" .

Thia statement i is necessary in < EVERY CASE . where lands have changed hands, and j will save taxpayers much trouble, as well \ as conduce to tbc correctness of tt\g official rocoed, and greatly facilitate the payment of taxes. EACH LAND OWNER must answer the questions on the return 1 as to his Post Office, in a legible hand,; as this will render correspondence between this Uffioe and taxpayers easy 1 whenever inquiries are necessary. THE BOUNDARIES of firry tract of land must he given this Office (where the same hits not already been furnished,) so that the Auditor n>ajr know the exact locality of every piece of! land in the County. In making returns great care must be [ taken to have them correct, aa errors .in j returns invariably (xvhon not discover#-, hie by this Office) get on the Tax Dupli-1 catcs; often proving expensive to tax' payers, as well as troublesome to the i Auditor.
