an effort at such emulation, Judge

Sales Of Land for Taxes.

To THE EDTToRs OF THE MIsSIssIPPEAN
GentLeDlens--I observe from para
| graphs in several of our State papers.
that some misapprehension prevails
in reference to a recent decision of
the High Court of Errors and Ap-
peals with regard to the proper mode
of selling land for taxes under our
statutes.
In the case of Doe ex. dem. Hodges
Us. Robert Wilson, three opinions were
written. There we're but two points
in the case, and Judge Thatcher
speaks Of them as follows:
"In this case, the collector, in exc
cutting the law, offered one lot of
eighty acres. at the bid for this lot
not being enough to meet the amount
Of taxes due the State, he added an
other and sold them together at one and
the same sale. This COMFORTS with
my understanding of the proper mode
of proceeding in the sale of lands for
taxes.
"The collector, however, did not de-
signate the particular eighth of a sec
ton first offered. By the sale Of the
two eighths, the land became desig>
mated; yet still think the collector
should have designated the first lot
offered by him, and therefore / agree
with the Chief Justice, that the judg-
ment should be reversed" I
On the same points, Judge Clayton
says:
Il concur in the construction placed
upon this statute by Judge Thatcher.
do not think the sale is good, be-
cause the sheriff did not designate
Ne particular eighth aphich he first of.
fered--he could not offer an uncertain
ot, because no one could know in such
case, what he was attempting to sell.
But when the part first offered is suf-
Iciefatly designated, and is not sold,
hen the part so offered and refused
aay be added 10 the merit, and SO on
ntil sale is effected"
Judge Sharkcy was of opinion, that
'hen the first eighth was offered, IL Z
lould be sold to the highest bidder. 9
nd If the bid was insufficient to meet l!
ie amount of taxes due by the tax u
aver, then another eighth should be u
fered and separately. sold, and so on u
ltil the amount due was made by ~
e separate sales. On this point, he
ffered with Judges Thatcher and u
ayton,. but the opinions OF the latter pI
being a majority of the court co
'Qbtlsh the rule of sale on this point. 50
the other point, the court were oe

BY the insertion Of the above, YOU w

and Of the whole people, on these
questions.
First, whether Mississippi will COS
operate with Virginia, South Caroli-
ma, Missouri, Florida and the other
Southern States in any practicable
measure, compatible with the consti>
tuition and laws, to arrest what az.
pears to be a fixed determination on
the part of our brethren of the North
to assail, If not 10 destroy, the equal
lty, independence and existence of
the Southern State, sand by arrest
ing 1t, II possible to restore the har.
mony and preserve in substance and
not in mockery the Union Of the States.
And second, if the course taken by
he Southern States is not to be an.
proved, then to consider what il be-
'omes Us to do in the grave circum.
tances by which we are surroun.
