Postpone the Penalty for
Taxes.

We arc Informed that the books OF
the Treasurer will be open for the col
lection of taxes in this County on the
18th inst. The time fixed by law at
which the collection without the penal
ty closes is on the 18th inst thus allow
ing 4 days FOR the pcop'e Of this County
in which they can p1y without the nd
diti,n Of the penalty 1t is cvi,lcut to
every reasonable man th,t payment can
not be made in that length Of tim, Il all
were at the Trcasurer's office anil he
were to receive night and day without
ccasing one moment. 1t is unreasonable
to talk about not extending the time, it
ls unjust, we are tempted to say that it
is iniIuitous. Although some H,ull be
proSnostics arc announcing that the
Legislature will not extend the ii ne we
feel confident that hey we'll No set CT
men are SO lost to all sense of h ,nor and
so regardless of tn, interests OF their
constituents as to allow suci, -ir;Int !.
AS the law now stands, the Exccutvo
officers arc not responsible for tbs hin;
and cannot do anything to relieve tn
people. The Legislature is alone re p,n
sible. They should have acted in regard
to this before their adjournment, but as
they did not they ought to have met
sooner in this mouth to arrange it, We
would therefore advise every citizen
who cannot pay his tax by the 18th
int, to wait until the mectn, Of III.
Geucral Assembly as ;h,y will be force d
By public sentiment to arrange th;s mat.
ter so as to allow considerable time for
the paymeat Of The taxes. If the tax is
not paid by the 18th inst no one can
lose by waiting AMI we are confident
that iEey will lie rcli,vcl Of the penalty
At any rate we repeat that the l4cyisa-
trre is responsible for this and they
should be made to shoulder it, IF thay
act properly and extend the time for II
month or two, there is no one more
willing to accord to them the credit, lue
such considcratc cli,n, than we are !;
but sf they should so oppress the people
rs TO compel them to pay the penalty
when they could get no chan;, to ply
the tax we must say that they will
deserve to meet the stornest rebukc and
punishment at the hands Of their con
s!iIucnts. But We donot fear this, and
henre, we say ply your taxes before the
10Th il you can, if not wait until after
the Legislature meets and at least let
them take the resp visibility Of s.yin;
whether they will relieve youor not =
