TAXES IN GEoRGrA.-Georgia is one of the bes
| governed, most lightly taxed and most improy
ing States in the Union. The Milledgeville Re
corder says that the Governor and Comptroller
General have assessed the per cent tax upon th
property this year at 61% cents on the 500. Thi
is small fraction over one-sixteenth of one pc
cent, the same as last year. We also learn that
will raise about $4,000 In addition to this Stat
tax, there is law authorizing the inferior court
each county to levy additional tax not exceed
ing so per cent. upon the State tax for county pu
poses, so that out of town corporations and cite
including all taxation in Georgia, the citizens
that State cannot be taxed one-eighth of one pc
cent.

One of our wealthy citizens, who is interested i
several important patents, offered, during the lat
visit of the Great Eastern to this port, to replac
the boilers of that steamer with others of his ow
manufacture, which should save nearly so per cen
of the fuel now used. The protector was to pei
form the work at his own expense, and only recev
pay therefor when time and experience shoul
have demonstrated the asserted economy of the ne'
improvements.-N. Y, Tribune.
