RrFoRv n TIE SENATE LIBRARY

The Democratic idea of reform in the Civil
Service received new illustration Wednesday
in the proceedings of the Senate. When the
Dem Gratis came into power in that body they
hurried to put in force the reform of which they
had talked so much in the press and on the
stump. 1t may perhaps be remembered that
this was supposed 70 be one OF he reasons
which operated upon the minds Of Democratic
Senators I'm so ordering the action of the List
Congress AZ to make an extra session neces-
sary; that the reform might be Immediately
set on f OF, and the instruments of reform, OF
which each Democratic Senator had tail of n
score OF more might be without delay put into
the pay rolls. One Of the objective points of the
reform was the Senate Library, which nd been
supernteuded by competent gentleman with
one assistant, the litter being an intelligent
c0lored man, whose ability and experience
fully & ted him for the duties But they were
both Republicans, and being in the relation
they were TO the Library, knew something
about books Either one of these disqualified
lions for holding an Office under Democratic

homeless. Out they went, of course, ana IN
came .one white man. as briefly described
in the Senate by Mr. Hill, of Georgia, and

Rut il seems the colored man does not count
"a a reformer. and the "One white ms cas
cot to have additional help. Mr. Hill accord
ingly called up Wednesday a resolution re-
ported from the Committee on Contingent TX
penses, providing for the appointment OF an as
sistant librarian, and gave as the reason fof 1t
that there was only one White man con-
npctcd with the Library. In the reformed civil
service under Democratic auspices, 1t Is under
stood that "uIgg' IT'S" don't count. Mr. Eu-
MINDS called attention to tie fact that up TO
March 4, 1879, one White man was SUN
cient to manage the Library to the satisfaction
of everybody; but then he hid with nm col
ored iaan WHO was competent to act 's assistant.
Under Democratic auspices this c0u't not DC.
When Mr. Hill said there WAS " oaly one "hi'e

OfGeneraI Information.
CoMpTRoLLER's OFFICE, J
AUsTIN, Aug |, 1850. !

AUSTIN, Aug, /, 1850,
To Tax Collectors:
The following Instructions are issued for
the information of tax collectors ms to the
laws regulating redemptions of lands sold to
the state for taxes
First--The law of March -, 1879, permit
ting owners Of lands sold to the state for
taxes prior to the oath of July, 1879, to re.
deem the same on payment of the original
taxes, with eight per cent. interest per an
mum from date of sale and costs, is no longer
in force. This law continued only until July
"a, 1850. (See tax laws, page A.
Second-In cases where, on July "a, 1880,
two years expired from date of sale Of land
to the state for taxes, collectors are no longer
authorized to receive moneys from owners in
redemption. Lands in this condition caanot
now be redeemed, and collectors are especi-
ally directed that any action taken by them
in receiving money in redemption for this
class of lands,or issuing redemption receipts,
is Illegal.
Third--In all other cases, where lands
have been sold TO the state for taxes and two
years have not expired from date Of sale at
the time owners make application for re-
demption, the collector is authorized to issue
redemption receipts in duplicate, as hereto
fore instructed, on the owners paying the
double of the tax for which the land was
sold to the state, with the cost of sale and
such subsequent taxes MS may have been as
sessed. Any lands that have been sold to the
state for taxes, and two years have not ex-
| PRED from date of sale, can be redeemed
under the above conditions; but in no case
will collectors receive money or issue receipts
in redemption when two years have expired
from date Of sale. Any action by collectors
III violation of this instruction will be illegal
and void, and will create embarrassments
both to themselves and TO parties who offer
10 redeem.
FoWrth-At present there is no remedy for
claimants of lands that have been sold to the
state for taxes after the expiration of two
years from date of sale; and collectors will
advise parties interested that the comptroller
has no authority tc grant relief and extern
sions in cases whore tho two years have
expired from the date of sale, and that app,i-
cation to this Office for relief cannot be
granted. Relief and further extension of
time, in case two years have expired from
date cf sale, can be granted only by the
legislature,
Fiith-Collectors will use the same form
of redemption receipts heretofore furnished,
as the same can be adapted to the system Of
redemption now authorized by law, by eras-
ing the lines covering interest, etc. The
receipts will be used in duplicate.

A qHoayy Claim Rejected,

Washington, Aug. 1O-Judge Laurence,
first comptroller of the treasury, has given an
opinion in the case of William 7. Wood
against the United States. In 1867, $4,000
worth of 730 United States notes were pre-
sented for redemption at the treasury and
paid, but were afterwards suspected to be
spurious. A reward of $4,000 was offered
to detective to establish their spuriousness,
and Colonel Wood, then chief of tho secret
service division of the treasury department.,
was informed that if he procured the fraud
ulent plates, all notes printed therefrom, n
return of the money paid by the government
and the arrest and conviction of the offenders.
he would receive like reward. He sue
ceeded indoing all this except convicting tho
offenders, and presented a claim for $4,000,
and in 1868 was paid $4,000 on account.
Judge Laurence decides adversely to the
claim on the ground that the appropriations
applicable to it, even if not exhausted in the
years for which they were made, have long
since been covered into the treasury. The
clnimant, he says, has no remedy except an
appeal to congress.
