To the Editors Of the Richmond Dispatch:
Gentlemen In your weekly issue of the
I'd instant notice IN article signed Louis
ian, which does great injustice to at least
tour-ti(thS of the white class in this commu-
nifty. In abiding to the opposition to the
tax OF one mill on the dollar he says he at
tributes the opposition to prejudice and ig-
norance. In behalf of the intelligent white
taxpayers Of this community beg leave to
correct the erroneous imaginations of this
Louisa correspondent. He is altogether
mistaken. l have travelled through the
county, and | know that the only white
friends to this measure are those interested
in the disbursement Of these tax funds. At
least FOUR of the white tax payers are
opposed to this additional tax of one mill
on the dollar on account Of their already
exhausted pockel-hook>, while the blacks
voted en- mGSSc for the measure. The
blacks. together with the interested whites,
have carried the election for the tax. 1
think this correspondent docs great inius-
ticc TO tour-1itths OF the whites in this com
munity, because they go to the polls and
try 10 relieve themselves from most I'M
luSt and Ubiquitous tax imposed by this
board, composed of men Of intelligence, Of
hbcrdi rle,cS, and men of rare business quail
ifcUtfOHS and habits. j. ". {.
