In answer To your inquiry IN re-
ference 10 the collection of the thirty
per cent. damages imposed BY the
Act Of l7T5, for the non yment Of

imperative on the Tax Collectors 60

after the time above mentioned. But
If we concede the power Of the Leg
lslature to impose the thirty per cent.
damages for non-payment OF taxes
on the day indicated in the Act, still
the question arises how that penalty
must be collected. The power 10

payer, has been frequently assailed
upon the ground that il is a violation
Of that clause of the Constitution
which prohibits any person from be-
ing deprived OF his life, liberty or
property "without due process Of
law" Ii has, however, been sus-
tanned upon this ground and no 9TH

order that the government may have

sary 90 its existence. This necessi-
~, however, does not exist as 10 any
damages or penalty whlch may be
imposed on the tax payer for fail
ure 10 pay his taxes Ut the time pre-.
scribed by law. Such damages, II
collectable at all, can be enforced
only by SUIT in a competent court,
aud upon due notice to the alleged
delinquent. The statute, therefore,
winch requires such collection 10 be
made by distress, aud without suit, IL

SIR--Various reasons exist why
damages should not, If they could, be
collected tins year The delay in the
return Of the rolls, caused by exten-
sion Of the time Of assessment. the
confusion Of a heated election, and
the lateness Of the crops, have him
dered the prompt payment on the
part Of the tax payer. In some
counties the Collector could not have
received the taxes II he had devoted
his entlre time to il, after the deliv.
cry of the rolls Ia him. In some in
stances the rolls were not turned
over until the 18th of the present
month. The State docs not desire 60
opprcss her citizens with damages or
penalties, but only desires 10 enforce
the collection Of the revenue. !
therefore take pleasure in submitting
herewith the written opinion of Gen.
George, aud the concurrence of the
Attorney General, and desire 20 r..
turn them in. his manner, my thanks
for their kind assistance in thus be
halt, feeling assured that YOU and the
tax payers Of your county will also

You will, therefore, continue 10 re

day you will sell only for taxes and

damages. ] have no doubt that the
Legislature will pass a general bill
Of relief for all those who may pay
