AHARDsHIr.-Under the operation Of
the taxlaws of this State, counties are
compelled to bid off all the delinquent
lands not otherwise sold, and advance
the taxes on the same to the State, in
money. In this county over $4,000 of
such lands have become forfeited under
the laws, and the citizens are taxed to
pay the State tax upon them. There
would be no hardship in this if there
had been Judicial decision settling the
validity and constitutionality of tax titles.
Hundreds of persons, abundantly able,
stand ready to purchase all the county
possesses, If the decision is favorable !;
but they will not invest their money to
uncertainty. We think the State owes
it to the counties TO have this question
settled and in case its laws are really
worthless, to refund the money to the
counties, derived from such sales. r
few years more passed in>uncertainty,
and delinquent lands enough will have
accumulated, 10 bankrupt the county
