bill as reported by the committee.
In regard to merchants licenses
IT WAS STATED IN CAUCUS
by Judge Thomas, that Levy, the largest
dry goods merchant in Richmond, had said
that while the tax ON their business would
be increased several hundred dollars they
would feel much more than compensated
by the restoration Of the credit OF the
State, and the feeling of confidence which
it would inspire in the purpose of the State
honestly to meet her engagements. which
would tend to strengthen the credit OF the
individual merchants of the State, and
that these sentiments were shared 10y other
merchants Of standing in Richmond. The
tax bill as passed and which is now OBJ
jected to is in fact
BUT LITTLE HIGHER,
if anything, than that borne by merchants
before the war under the act OF $3.50.
In 1875 re-assessment of lands Will be
made under Constitutional requirement
under the supervision Of Board OF Equal
ization which will ensure something ike
fairness and equality in the sections OF the
State. and it is believed that the present
rate of taxes on land will be increased ,anc
that a sufficient amount of revenue Will Dt
realized to place the credit OF the State OF
a firm basis. The merchants tax as pass
ed was advocated by Messrs, Armstrong
of Rockingham, Howard, of Floyd, Nc.

Judge POrter's ReIoinsIer.

In replying 10 Mr. Maynard's rejoinder,
Judge Porter spoke very briefly. He ex-
hibted a paper, which he said was receipt
for the sum of $500, which had been paid
AIr. Maynard for acting as special Judge OF
the Supreme Court, while he was receiving,
at the same time, about $50 a day as Con
gresham.
He defended his position in having vOted
against the proposition to exempt manu-
facturers from taxation, but said he would
encourage in every proper way the estab-
lishment Of manufactures in our midst.
As to people leaving our State, he said that
this was true, but that others and better
people were coming in. There was always
a class Of young menaeho desired to 60
West, and he had advised his competitor to
go West.
He closed by thanking the audience for
their respectful attention, and requested the
ladies present, before going home, 70 talk
with their husbands as to the prLper man
To be clothed with this great authority, 70
look on this picture and then on that, in

Mr.. Maynard having examined the re-

forward az the close of the latter's rejoinder,
and said that he had no recollection Of hay-

was well known. He said this receipt had
