The arguments against the proposition
to grant the right Of way down CONNER
cIal avenue to the Cairo q vincennes
Railroad Company, are unique, II NOT
forcible. One alderman, like NioDe, all
tears, appealed to his fellows to
pause before It was too late--to
pause before they allowed the child-kill-
ine locom olive to rush along our crowded
thorough fares. ut will be too late" he
said. "when the mother Is weeping over
the mutilated form Of her only child, to
reconsider your action. All, sir, what
are the blessings OF wealth to the inesti-
mable boon Of life! Better, far better
would 1t be that Paducah should have
this railroad--that Mound City should
have the work-shops, than that one OF
our smallest children should be crushed
by the locomotive. These arguments
may not touch the hearts of rich men,
but to the poor, whose affections are not
placed on their money-on desire to
increase the value of lots-they will be
irresistible, and they will hurl from
power the men who have dared to sug-
gest that the railroad should be allowed
to run along Commercial avenue" We
suggest to the honorable gentleman that
he might remove his objections to the
scheme by Offering an amendment to the
ordinance requiring the company to have
painted on the sides of the locomotive
to be run along the avenue, the words
'Forbid little children to come unto me"
Another argument against the PROPOSE.
ton Is. that IL will ruin the avenue.
Ruin the avenue! The suggestion is as
foolish as weak. 1t will make the ayen'
ue a grand wholesale street, increase the
value Of property along its entire length
and benefit the entire city. But the most
conclusive argument used by the enc
mics Of railroads is, that IL matters are
allowed to 90 on In the way they are
drifting, no gentleman can get drunk
on any Of the streets Of the city withou,
being In danger OF mutilation and death
Where can y drunken man safely lay
his weary head II locomotives are allow
ed to run along all our streets and aven
ues? This argument throws into the
shade the child.killing argument OF oul
friend the alderman.

ATTORNEY GENERAL's OFFICE,
December 2, 1869.
John d. Evans, Esq, Auditor of State:
DEAR SIR-I acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your note of the 2Osh ultimo,
with that of Mr.. Gray, Auditor of
Howard County, submitting for my
consideration and opinion the follow
ing questions:
First-Is the sale OF land for taxes
illegal, when the owner of the land is
also the owner of personal property
held within the county?
Seconds it necessary, under such
state Of facts, TO publish the lands as
delinquent
The statute provides that the lien
for all taxes of State, county, school,
road or township purposes, shall
attach on all real estate held By the
taxpayers, on the first day of Janu-
airy, annually, and such lien shall be
perpetual.
The statue does not fix the time at
which the lien on personal property
attaches, but the courts have decided
that as between the State and the
owner at the time of assessment it
commences as soon as the duplicate
is issued to the Treasurer.
It is the policy of the statute to
resort to the land itself, only when
attaches remedies fail to enforce a
satisfaction of the tax.
The personal property Of tax pay
er is the primary fund out Of which
all the taxes assessed against him
upon poll, personal and real estate
are to be collected so long as it may
be found in the county. And it may,
under certain statutory restrictions
| be followed into other counties of the
State. But when the Treasurer has
| exhausted his remedies against the
personal effects of the taxpayer, by
the levy and sale of the same, or by
demand and careful search for such
property, and return of no proper
| ty found Whereon to make
satisfaction Of the tax, then
| in such cases the land of the tax
| payer, as o der7lier resort, may be
advertised and sold for the satisfac-
ton Of the delinquent tax. The
power Of the officer is limited
to the remedies prescribed by the
statute. The remedies prescribed.
and the order in which they are d.
directed to be used or enforced. are
prerequisites. and must be as strictIg
complied with as any other reouire-
ments OF the IaWi and this order and
technical regard for the statute must
| be observed from the beginning to Tic
end of the proceeding. Any change
or substitution IN the order thus pre-
scribed will render the sale illegal
| aud void.
