The Revenue Law.
Opinions of the Public Treasurer on the
Revenue Law

David A. Jenkins, Esq, Public Treasur-
or. has delivered the following opinions
on the revenue law:
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Raleigh, June 18th, 1862
LEWIS Fl. K1TTLE, ESQ, Chairman. &C.,
Oxford, N. G.
DEAR SIR:-Yours CT the Sd instant, re-
ceived.
have so often published in the public
prints my opinion in regard to the true
construction of tie Revenue Law, and
these opinions are SO plainly supported by
the Constitution and the law that those re-
fusing to carry out the law must be oviLfuL
| Iy blind.
You are clearly right on the several mat
tiers IN which you give your views
LIST, The Constitution says that all real
and personal property must be listed at its
true vale in money-not at cash price, not
at what would be obtained at q forced sale,
but at its true real value. See article Y.
section 3. If the Constitution had said
the assessment must be at mis- cash market
price, the assessor would be justified in
fixing the value at what the property would
bring If sold for cash but when it says
they must estimate the true value they
ought to estimate the property at its real
intrinsic worth.
%. Planters pay property tax on all the
property On hand LIST April, including all
provisions, tobacco, and everything else,
except 5000 exempted of certain specified
articles The $500 exemption from income
tax and $1,000 family supplies cannot be
deducted from the planters property
Taking 81, 500 besides the 5000 from the
planters property on hand LIST of April, no
matter what the property consists in, is
defrauding the State Of its just dues, and
in all cases where this is done, unless there
is good reason for the omission, the CON-
missioners ought to assess double tax on
ST, 500 as delinquent property.
3rd. Tax payers have no right TO throw
out years supply of bacon, corn, &C.
This is strictly against the constitution and
law.
4th make the same remark about to-
bacco on hand, LIST April. 1t ought to be
listed. If not it is subject to double tax.
9Th. You are entirely right that every
species OF property real and personal, on
named articles is liable to the property
tax, see article V, section LIT, of Consti-
tuition.
Wherever the commissic 2ers find pro-
perry omitted let them put III down as de-
linquent property and try the effect of q
double tax.
Examine the assessors and ascertain
from them what omissions have been made
delinquently or otherwise. If mistakes
have been made, you can allow them to be
rectifed, but if tax payers Intentionally
endeavor to cheat the country, gire them
tile double tao.
Very respectfully.
D. A. JENKINS,
Public Treasurer.

LEWIS DAVIS, The murderer of
D. P. Skinner, was hanged at Cleve-
land last Thursday, at thirty two
minutes past twelve o'clock.
The following account ofthc exc
cution we take from the Leader:
At twenty three minutes past
twelve the prisoner ascended the
scaffold with firm step, accompa-
MED by Mr.. Washburn, Sheriff Fra
zee. Deputy Sheriff Ridgeway, and
Jailer Kochler. He was dressed
in black pantaloons, dark vest and
fine boots, without a coat. AS he
reached the platform and glanced
quickly at the eager crowd which
thronged the corridors and balco-
nies, there was a perceptible moist
ure in his eyes and slight quiver
of the lip. But he seemed determin-
ed to meet his fate bravely, without
an evidence Of weakness, and with
one brush of his hand across his
eyes he recovered his composure
He recognized and bowed to one or
two Of his acquaintances in the
crowd below. He then knelt upon
the stairs while Mr.. Woshburn read
the Episcopal service for such oc-
casions. The condemned man
bowed his head, covered his face
with his hands, and seemed in deep
devotion. He arose and regaiued
the platform at the conclusion
Of the resding. The sheriff asked
him if be wished to say any thing,

it was because our African brother

The German immigration to this
port has been greatly in excess of
any other nationai y during the
past ten years. and for the last three
years it has not fallen far short OF
one half of the total number of for
eigners who have sought to find
homes for themselves in this coun-
try. During the time last men
toned the aggregate number of
Germans who have landed here
foots up at 100000 These emf
grants are heartily welcomed, and
as they are absorbed into the great
cosmic character of the population
of the country their effect upon our
industries is advantageously felt.

bring with them sufficient capital in
money to enable them to take care

work, and thousands of them are
