The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1871-05-11

In another article we have exposed the
maneuvering of Musgrove to deprive the
payers of the relief designed by the
act of March 22nd directing Boards of
Supervisors to correct erroneous assess
ments with view TO the renting, aba
ting or refunding of whatever taxes may
have been collected, or levied, on false
valuations of property. Below we copy
bill which has passed the Senate and is
pending in the House, which he has pre-
pared in order TO furnish a covering for
his arbitrary construction Of the original
act. The necessity which he has ac-
knowledged for the passage of this supple
mentary bill, is a confession that his con-
struction Of the other act was not warran-
ted. And if not warranted why has he
presumed to instruct Boards of Superb
sors to act under forced construction Of
the law; and why has he refused to
recognize proceedings not accordant with
his dictation
