TAX.TITLES.

Sheriff Cook will commence the
sale OF property advertised for
taxes due.at the Courthouse to-day,
at II o'clock. The sales will be
without superintendent. for cash,
with interest and costs added to
the amount due for taxes. The
titles given by the Sheriff at these
sales will be absolute. provided the
property is not redeemed by the
tormer owner within q year. and
even if it is redeemed. the purchaser
will receive 20 per cent. interest on
the price pail, which will prove
profitable investment. Concerning
tax titles" the Daily States says:
"TEe recent acts of the Legislature
regulating the mode of enforcing
the collection of delinquent taxes.
and virtually putting at rest the
question Of the validity of tax titles
Except for radical defects in the
manner Of sale. ETC. is bound to
result in much good to the State
and people. The late rulings of
the courts run decidedly in favor
OF sustaining the titles of purchas-
ers at tax sales. showing that the
judicial investigation OF the pres
ent time offers but little consolation
to those who have stood by and
permitted their property to be sold
for taxes. The right of redemp-
ton, burdened as it is with inter
est, costs and penalties, which
exists for tle space of one year,
is now the onl y means of recover
ing property sold for taxes, except
the precarious right to attack the
sale for informalities. irregularities,
ETC., which. with the lights of re-
cent court DECISIONS before them,
is indeed forlorn hope"
Those of our citizens who have
failed to pay their taxes, and al
lowed their property to be sold,
will find that their chances 10 re-
cover the same are of the most un-
certain character, the only recourse
being To redeem il, within year,
ut much additional expense.
