THE LATE FRAUDS UPON TUE
COUNTY. '.''


order. u they wsrs stated in the Rspub,;can
First, tho Register relic, for his ju..isc.t;o,
"po" the precedent furnished BY Ramse
county. Where, hs ssys, certificate l.: is
sued TO- each parcel Of land sold for TAX,
Our citizens will not b willing u follow tb
example Of Ramsey county in eases Of thi
nature. The management Of th.t eoua.,
has bsen notoriously 20 corrupt, rs tax p.y
s's 70 'sqaensiy. and unusrcifhlly aeec,a
y to Be anything but good precedent 70
u. The criminal would gladly avail him
self Q: any decision, favorable to the lsxalit,
81 bis acts; but the Court will examine, il,
spirit and reason, and inquire concerning th.
authority from whence it emaaates. viii
the citizens Of Goodhue { the Judges in thi.
case. havs very much respect, for tho OK.
ample Of county, about the management o.
whose affairs, the Press, and especially III.
Republican portion Of it has for years bsen
n'led with denunciations, and the Register Of
Deeds Of wh'ch-the particular authority oil
our Registers indicted for fraud snd Official
de'inq"saeiss, almost every session Of the
grand jury. Not D,uch y Fl
lie says he had the opinion Of ssver,l
legal gentlemen. who. without exception,
c,unssled tho sa,ns course. This is very
indshnite and unsatisfactory. Who ars they?
We venture that tho lion. Charles Mcclure,
the great Republican oracle in these parts,
never gave such IN ono. ="
70 b sure SEC. g. ch.ptsr IL, Of Revised
Statutes, provides that the county may Is.
sign the the tax certificate, issued for lands
bid of By it. Would that prevent it, part.
ing With It's interest in any other way p
could not . purchaser acquire tho same
interest without actually obtaining DOS.
session q the Of the original certificate i?
Is It necessary when land Is sold or mort.
gsss assigned, that all the old deeds and o..
dtnees # title Connected with, It. should 30
handed over? Not 1t ALL. The ,soord show.
just how tho matter stands ., |a,,. .....',
But the neeess'ty Of arguing this point
further, lis supsroeded BY subsequent ~.

may desire, and the above lees shall b. Maid

The above section, it seems to u., settles
the question. II il obvious that il person
should purchase every parcel offered, he
could, 1t his own option, have them all in.

And We suppose that q quit claim or 9th.
o. transfer Of his ajax title' 10 tho owner
o any parcel 10 included. would operate as
"a assignment OF the certificate 50 far n
that parcel is concerned. Ii this case tho
county issimply The purchaser, ard Of course
entitled to the same privileges. IN II ~.
geo But The ground Of the Registers ju.tiA.
