Mr. smithers for the supreme
COuRt.

Yesterday we casually suggested the
name of Hon. Nathaniel b. Smithers oil
Dover this State, tor appointment'to the
Supreme Bench of the United States by
President Arthur, and we were in ear
nest in making the nomination. Nc
doubt large class of people through
ont the country will treat the suSges
ton with an Insignificant smile If moi
scorn at the thought of State 80 small
as Delaware aspiring TO a.seat on the
Supreme Bench, but we would like to
know why Delaware cannot raise al
great and learned men as our big over
grown mother Pennsylvania, New
York or Massachusetts. She already
has prominent candidate for the Pre-
sidency, On the Democratic side posing
himself before the country. received
with favor by a large number OF the
leaders of his party, and why cannot
the Republican party produce man
who would if appointed bring ta'ens
energy and character to the Supreme
Bench These essentials are all hap
pily combined in Mr.. Smithers, and II
he lived in larger State we have no
no doubt would long agoshave been eX-
allied to more prominent position De-
fore the nation. Mr.. Smithers, with
other qualifications possesses a COM
mendable modesty. He is no political
aspirant He takes more delight IN
diving into the intricacies OF law
than In politics and this is Zone OF the
principal things that qualities hun for
a seat on the Supreme Bench. Presi-
dent Arthur has done ehimself infinite
credit by the appointment Of such a
sound juriSt as Judge Gray to the SUI
preme Bench. The appointment OF
Mr.. Smithers would be equally popular
and commendable.

An UnfOu nLed Charge.

The Gazette says colored men won
pay their taxes. This is an uEdeserved
Islander upon the colored people. Give
them a chance and see if they do moi
pay taxes. The truth of the matter is
the Democrats, for whom the Gazette
speaks, do not want them to pay theii
taxes and have laid every possible i'm
pedient in their way to prevent them
from paying taxes If this were not So,
why have so many alterations and
amendments been made to The assess.
ment and tax collection laws, every one
of which has made it more difficult to
get assessed ana to pay taxes? Prior
to 1870 the collectors were required to
call upon all taxables not only once, but
oftener and urge them to pay their tax
es, and even after that the Levy Courts
refused to accept any returns for errors
unless it was known that the parties SO
returned had either deceased or re
moved out of the reach of the tax col
lector's process. This was the old
fashioned, honest way of collecting tax
es, and this was In times when taxes
were collected because they were due
to the State and not for the benefit OF a
political party.
About this time colored men for the
first time voted in Delaware, and as
they all voted the Republican ticket, or
fy, something had to be done to coun-
teract that vote. The Democratic Leg
islature was equal for the occasion and
commenced tinkering at the assessment
and tax laws An amendment provided
that tax collectors need only call upon
free holders for taxes, and those who
only owed poll tax il they wanted to
pay their taxes they were at liberty to
do so or lot it alone If it suited them
best. 1t was soon found that cOllec-
tors were mysteriously absent when
colOred men called to pay taxes, and it
soon became evident that the law to
raise revenue for the State, WAS only a
law to cheat the State out of taxes and
Republicans of all shades Of color out
of their votes. Hardly Legislature
has met since then that has not attempt
ed to tinker the tax collection laws un-
til now, the system of how not to COL
leCt taxes from colored men is reduced
to fine points. In the face of these
actions, the Gazette has the etfrontery
to say that colored men won pay their
taxes. Let tax collectors call upon
them for their taxes and urge them to
pay it, the same as the Gazette calls
upon its delinquents and urges them to
pay what they owe. Whatever princi.
pie is right, fair and honest with mel
pursuing honest avocations, is right in
the collection of taxes Colored people
Or any other kind of people who get
discouraged, SHOULD be made to pay
their taxes the same as they are made
to pay any other debt, and if the Ga
zette and its friends will adopt the
method of trying to collect taxes instead
OF passing laws to make tax-paying
difficult, they VIII find that colored men
will be more ready 10 respond with
their taxes.
Daily Republican., 1882-01-28

THE GAZETTE in giving its reasons for
the Democratic Legislature exempting
the property of negroes in this city from
city and school tax, gives a. one reason
that it was to enable them TO pay into
their own school fund. This is very
considerable indeed, and very kind in
the Legislature. Will not our neighbor
tell Us how it works in this city. 1t
strikes US that though colored people
pay no school taxes they at the sane
time seem to have the benefit of the
public schools and yet pay no taxes.
They have their schools and regular
teachers who are paid regularly out OF
the city school fund. Their schools open
aud close at the same season of the veal
as white schools do, and in every re,
speCt, except that of facilities and con.
tightly to schools, they are
supported ~ white schools out o.
the same Treasury and with white PEG
PIES taxes. How grateful the Golorec
people should be that they are release;
of paying city and school taxes. Tn
fact of the matter il, such state Of AT

the Democracy. 1t was the iutcntiOl
