ENEaANcHIsED VOTERS REFUSE TO PAY
TAXES. -On Saturday morning, Sheriff Cur
tiss, Of FL ampton, having some taxes 10 collect
from the newly made voters of his district, pro
eeeded to plantation on the Newport News
road in charge of the Freedmen's Bureau,
and known as the fBates Farm for this
purpose. He found that, although prompt to
the call of the RAIDS to vote, they were Lot pre-
pared to exercise any of tie other rights of
their citizenship, and especially averse to pay
ing their taxes! They demonstrated, and the
Sheriff persisted in his demand, bus without
success. :, ,l:-t 81 ;,-rsgr, ,.rgs.l .4..ysf
They, no doubt thinking that might makes
right, formed ;ep nlasse and charged upon the
Sheriff. who retired in good order, leaving the
registered voters in possession of the field
Their victory, however, was of short duration.
The Sheriff fell back to,the fort and reported
progress to the General commanding, who gave
him guard of some twenty soldiers.
With this force he again advanced upon the
belligerents, who, being alarmed at the sight
of the boys, in blue, fell back, leaving the Sher-
Tiff in possession of the field. He proceeded to
seize euoug h Of the crops, farming Implements,
&C., to, make Uncle Sam square, and returned
to Hampton with his spoils fa.a.;;st.,
and is, no doubt, the foreruuner OF many more
such scenes all through the South. Paying
taxes is something the negroes lave never yet
done, and they are very 10th to commence now.
