The matter of the collection of poll taxes from those who are on the delinquent lists is st'll a live question, and very soon the oppor tunity will be afforded some one to test the constitutionality of the statute law bearing upon the subject. It seems that there can be no question as to the lack of juris diction of a magistrate to im prison one for his failure to set- tls, but whether a magistrate has the right to levy upon the personal goods of a delinquent is open for final adjudication by the supreme court. The matter has reached the stage now that the delinquent payers feel that they cannot be made to pay; but judging from what Magistrate Clarkson said yesterday a new line of procedure will be started. Tiie^tiEiiwacr 'cMttirftm hV"* has a right to levy upon the per sonal goods of a delinquent, and if refusal is made, the effects will be sold at public outcry for the debt- Magistrate Clarkson says that he intends to bring out about tbs contingency during the weok. aud then the chance will be afforded for a test case. He stated that he has prominent Columbians on bis list, aud because refusal to pay has been made in several instances, the personal effects will be levied upon. There has been nothing said in all the recent discussion about the payment of poll tax as to the right of a magistrate to levy upon the >ersonal property, but Magistrate Clarkson claims that he is acting under authority contained in a statute not very long ago passed by the general assembly.
