Harry RSsss to EsplsSn.

TO TAH EDITOR OF THE MORNING HBBALD,
sIE:-ln your issue Of Monday, the S0th
ult. is an article referring to me In words as
follows: "As soon as "poor Harry" went
out (of the Office of tax-collector for New
Castle hundred, be rotated into federal
Office, the salary Of which WA 81 500 Dor
year, We believe 1t was afterwards reduced;
the pickings of the Office is an unknown
quantity, % he illegally and in violation Of
all known law, compelled many farmers to
pay tax of $500 for the privilege of SELL
ing their produce In Wilmington: when .
couple of sturdy Republicans threatened to
60 to Washington about the matter, he re-
funded the tax to them, but has neither
given back the money illegally collected
from those who did not complain, nor ~
counted for 1t to them, from that day to
this" In answer to the above, will say
that l was appointed assistant assessor Of
United States Internal Revenue, in June 1850
and discharged the duties of the ONCE for
about two years under the law and tho
positive instructions from the Com missioner
of Internal Revenue i was required to assess
special tax Of $500 on "produce dealers,
farmers, and others who sold produce at
the curbstone from wagons IN the city of
Wilmington. I either had to assess this tax
or resign my Office. had no option In tho
matter my duty was simply to assess, and
that is all did. l never collec,ed or rsceiv-
ed "directly" or indirectly" IS 90, or any
other sum whatever, from any ono in pay
ment Of, or on account of the tax assessed
neither did receive salary of 81, 500, per
year, nor the half of It, while I held said
office. I will pay the sum of 800 to any
person who will produce receipt signed BY
me, showing that the tax was paid to me,or
who will furnish the proof that ever re-
ceived any tax assessed al above stated.
HENRY H. McMuLL1N.
We publish the above for Mr.. McMul-
len, as fair play entities him to explain;
but he has not cleared himself of the charge
of assessing tax which the law did not
warrant Surely the freemen of New Cas-
tie county cannot vote to put in the highest
executive Office Of the county, gentleman
who was the instrument of assessing such
an unjust, oppressive, and iniquitous tax.
Mr.. McMullen does not deny, that the tax
was refunded to "a couple sturdy Republi-
cans. $50 that We may take it for granted that
one rule was adopted for "sturdy Repub-
licans" and another for Democrats. This
was truly a nice condition Of affairs-and
he that was an officer in accordance with
orders, which so infamously Oppressed the
people Of this county has placed the seal Of
condemnation upon himself-forever. 1t
was Mr.. McMullen's misfortune to obey
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue:-
he must bear its consequences defeat
