Deiinquent Lands

BUCKINGHAM, January Is. 1856.
To the Editor ofthe Dispatch:
Could our members Of the General
Assembly witness the utter dismay and
CONSERVATION which are amongst the
land. owners at the list and oppression
of the delinquent taxes they would be
dumb on all other subjects of legisla.
ton until this matter was settled.
The tracts Of land in this county
were large, and the taxes assessed on
them as a whole in many cases reaching
several hundred dollars. These lands
have been by order of court divided
into smaller lots-of two, three, five, or
ten lots-and have been paid fer in full,
and now come up the delinquent taxes
for the whole against each of unequal
value, and no one knows how much to
pay, and leaving room for frauds and
oppression without number.
| know of tracts which were sold by
order Of court in three lots, and two
purchasers have paid in full, and the
third has not paid and the commits
sioner was ordered to collect on this
parcel and pay $50 to the back taxes,
but he has failed to do so, and now all
the different lots are in market for
taxes. A widow lady owns a house
and lot in Farmyille, some fifteen miles
off, which has been rented out for TWEEN
ty years and the taxes paid by the ten
ants in possession. They have left the
State and carried the evidence of pay
ment with them, and now she is called
on TO pay about $50 or $50 back taxes
property enough on the lot each year
TO pay the taxes, but they were either
not called for, or the collectors State
officers) have pocketed the money, and
now comes the trouble.
/ know all these taxes were paid
from 1867 to 1885, and the receipts
are preserved and can be shown, ex-
cept for two years, when the tenant
left the town.
The Assembly will be required to
correct this evil, or the Democratic
party will be swept by the board in
this State, and others will come to the
front and get into power.
Don't let up on this matter until all
taxes are RENTED up to lS8l-fve
years ago. That time caveats all pri-
vate claims, and ought to caveat the
Commonwealth. S.

DELINQUENT Lands.

Mr.. FULKERsON is on the right
tack. The best method of preventing
such a condition Of things as now exists
all over the Commonwealth from ever
again coming upon the people is to
cause delinquent lands to be sold every
year, and then allow the owners a good
many years in which to redeem them.
At first blush, this may appear to be a
harsh policy. If it really is, let it not
be adopted. But if upon reflection the
members of the General Assembly shall
deem it free from that objection, let it
be adopted by all means.

STORY TOUCHING JUDGE STALLO
London, January IA story is pub
liShed in the Rome newspapers to the
effect that Judge J. b. Stallo, the new
United States Minister to Italy, alb
ruptly left dinner given by DR.. Della
mater, an American dentist living in
Rome. on discovering that the chamber
lain Of the Pope'S household was among
the guests.
In explaining his departure to DR..
Delamater, Judge Stallo is reported to
have said that he had orders to have no
relations of any sort with the Vatican.
The story is much commented on
here. While Judge Stallo was in Lon
don, on his way to Rome, he made many
friends, and they are now recalling GER
tain anti-Catholic remarks that he made
in conversation here, and the anti-Papal
speeches which he is reported to have
made in Cincinnati just after he was
appointed American Minister to the
Italian Court.
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
comments upon the above as if it were
highly improbable. But is it incredi-
BILE! Was not Mr.. KELLEY rejected
at Rome because he had been too good
friend to the Pope: OF course Judge
STALLo received in this country no
such order as he mentions; but may he
not have received hint that it would
not do for him to "have any relations
with the Vatican" -:
