The committed appointed by the pub
lio meeting held last Monday to present
to the Governor lie aotionfan to mske
certain requests, was accorded an inter
view withhim yesterday, at the Exeou
tive Office. The committee was courte
ously received. In reference to tho re-
quest of the meeting, that the time fol
payment Of taxes be- extended to the 1si
Ut March. the Governor expressed Q
doubt as to his constitutional right to
do 80. In view OF the necessity Of the
case, he had .ventured to extend it al.
ready until tho 9th Of February. he
promised to bring the matter promptly
to the attention Of the Legislature,
which, he had no doubt, would do
everything proper TO be done. As to
the re-assessment of property a! fairer
valuation, ho referred the Dom mittee to
the Comptroller General, 10 whose pro.
vince the matter specially belonged.
That officer had issued circular forms,
on which the taxpayer, if unduly as
sessed. might make his statements, and
they would be carefully considered. II
the taS vas shown to be excessive, re-
bate could in this way be secured.
The Governor intimated his purpose
to recommend to the General Assembly
the passage of an Act which would ena-
BILE all parties, whose lands bad been
sold for taxes, to recover them upon
payment of the tax. without costs.
The conversation turned npon the
general feeling entertained towards the
administration. The Governor main
tanned that it was disposed to be FUR
and just to all the people. He thought
the criticisms indalged in towards it
were sometimes too harsh.
He thanked the meeting for the can.
did manner in which it had brought the
matters in which the people felt ag-
giieved directly to his attention. It was
the first time it had been done by oiti-
zens from the conservative side in poll
tics during his administration.
