sentative to see that Gen. j. NJ LEACH is cand-
date for Congress in the 7th District to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the untimely death of the Ia
menteo Christian. Gen. Leach is gentleman of
marked sbility, true Conservative, and devoted to
his native land. If the true Conservatives of the
District who are rallying to his support will all
turn out and vote, he will lead Mr.. Foster the De.
strnctive candidate, at least two thousand votes.
The fact that he is 30 bitterly assaulted oy the Con-
sdsrate, the organ of the Destructves is one of the
best evidences Of the soundness of his principles.

A friend has called my attention to the fact that
the above law is not to be found in the published
volume of the laws of the called July session Of
1868. regret this omission, but it was certainly
unintentional and, under the circumstances I'M
avoidable. The law was published for information
in the Standard of 2lst August, 1868. This proves
that copy of it was furnished me BY the Secretary
of State. But have looked carefully through all the
copies in hand, which were filed away as they were
put in type, and the copy Of the above law is not
to be tound. Ny Office was mob5ed about the time
was engaged on this volume of the laws, and the
copies of the laws which were in my hands were
scattered by the mob in all directions through the
Office, soiled, and trampled under foot The copy
of the above law must have been lost in this way.
have printed copies Of it to be appended to the
volume Of the last session, and will send printed
pies to the Clerks, to be pasted the volumes Of
laws in their Offices. W. W. HOLDEN,

TIE T1rHE TA1.-Farmers have frequently asked
whether the 1.-THE tax for 1858 or that for 1864 was
the set against the per cent property tax due
on June !, 1864. Our own. impression was that
the law intended the tithes for 1859. which will all
be paid by June as the off set Others have thought
that the tithes for 1864 were intended The Com.
missioner Of Taxes at Richmond has instructed the
collectors on this point as folloEs:
The question as to whether the value Of the
tlthss of 1863 or those Of 1854 is to be deducted
from tax on the value Of property for 1854 has go
many attendant difficulties that it is deemed best
not to settle it at present by the Department but
