We notice that Hon. ]. Q. Farmer, Of Spring

independent candidate for the otboe Of Dis
triet Judge. We drs surprised that hs did
not do 90 st much earlier date. M. Fsrm-
er vas really the "author and builder" Of the

stitueney in the Spring spirited canvass BE-
tween hin aud Col. n. p. Colborn, Of Pres

plete triumph Of the Colonel, but it happened
that the other countiss-Houston, Mower and
Freehorn-had chosen delegates unanimously
in favor Of Hon. Sherman Psge, Of Austin.
when this became evident, Mr.. Farmer
sent communication to tho Convention, de-
eliuing the ass Of bis naAe - . candidate.
Mr.. Psge WAS nominated On the 6rst formal
ballot, and on motion IT 1 delegate from Fill

ExpLANAroRY.-It is vol under.
stood that tho "tax list" was published
last spring, under, contract for three
cents per description. 1t is also mat
ter Of public notoriety that when par
ties redeem their lands, by paying tax
IS, costs and PEN atty, they arc charged
by the Treasurer three cents, but
fifteen-makins an excess of twelve
cents on each description over the cos,
Of sale.
Some ono has asked: ,chat Be.
comes Of the money p and for the ben.
eft Of our readers We reply:
The State has provided that the per
son selected by the County Auditor Il
Eprint tho list Of delinquent lands. shall
be paid therefor fifteen cents for every
description. No one is authorized t.
contract for the performance Of tn
work at any other price, neither IS an,
officer authorized to collect from thu
delinq uont taxpayer, any other or diff
ferent sum hence, no matter at wha
price the work has been done, tho sun
fixed by law is the only one that cau
be collected. The Treasurer, therefore
collects the legal fee, and the e.rce.s 0
this, over the price paid, is put into the
: general fund.-" and placed to IL
credit Of the county. The aggregate
sum necessary 10 be raised by taxation
for county purposes will DO diminished
by the amount which is thus added t
the general exchcqucr.
