AUSTIN, February 26 1856. !
To tax collectors
Lists of lands in the organized
counties on which the taxes for 1885
have been paid at this Office, have been
forwarded to tax collectors by registered
mail.
Collectors are requested to examine
said lists carefully and see that none of
the lands named therein are levied on and
advertised for the taxes shown to have
been paid.
Collectors are again informed that
where the same tract of land is assessed
twice on the tax rolls for the same year,
and the taxes on one of the assessments
have been paid, the land must not be ad-
vertised and sold for the taxes on the
other assessment, but should be reported
as double assessment in the list of
errors in assessment for credit or final
settlement
The attention of collectors is called to
the provisions of article 1859 Revised
Statutes, which prohibits the sale of lands
for taxes which have been previously sold
to the state for taxes and which have not
been redeemed.

The attention Of the whole State is now
being strongly drawn towards two men
VINO are the recognized candidates for the
Democratic nomination for Governor.
They are Hon. A. o. Bacon and Gen. Cor
don. They are both excellent men, and
are before the people on their merits.
or OF them, doubtless, would serve
,ho a. satisfactorily as Governor.

candidates for long time. - atio.. 10" t"n
one State convention his nomlna lOu 80. ~
Governor has been regarded by his 4 's"u' ''''O',
as probable. That he is a gentleman q.
ability and high character there is no
doubt, and that he is a good party man.
ager there is no question.
With Gen. Gordon and his record the
people are thoroughly familiar. In mill
itary and civil life he has been prominent
more than a quarter of a century. He
was the peoples choice for Governor when
Bullock was counted in, and, subse-
quently occupied a seat in the United
States Senate. He is popular with the
people, but whether he is as popular as
his friends claim is question that will
be determined by the contest which he
has entered. His announcement OF his
candidacy and mis- letter to Maj. Bacon
indicate that he is ready to abide by the
decision OF the people and that he is con-
ident that a fair expression OF their
wishes will give hun the nomination.
The answer OF Maj. Bacon to Gen. Cor
don's letter suggesting primary elections
will be looked for with interest. AS iJ is
certain that the Democratic nominee will
be elected, and as primary elections are
about the only method of getting at the
will OF the people with respect to the
nominee, it is not improbable that Mai.
Bacon will favor Gen. Gordon's sug-
gestion.
The withdrawal Of Judge Simmons
simpiities somewhat the contest. 1t
looks now as if Maj. Bacon and Gen.
Gordon would have the field to them
selves. While Judge simmons has many
warm friends, it is probable that his
chances for the nomination were not
sufficiently good to justify him in remain
ing in the contest.
