cent of her taxes unpaid, the lawful time for
paying them about to expire, and no man
authorized to receive them. But worse than
that, we don't believe one-,hird of those who
have not paid their taxes have the money OF
can raise it to pay them. To sum il all up, we
can safely and rover emily say, Union is in one
OF Parson Browniows fixes. Now, what
arc we going to do about it? Wei, we don't
know; but the prospect is that sboat one
half the county will be sold FIR taxes this
year.

Mr.. Enron In the last issue Of the
TIMES, In one of your editorials concerning
the Auditor and Treasurer matter, you
referred to my ahsenc. at the meeting Of the
delegation at louisville. aud said that l was
n candidate for the Office Of treasurer, leay-
ing the inference that that was my cxcu-e
Tor n beng present.
In the first place, will say, not since tho
removal of Messrs. Morgan md Scott by
Gov. Tllman, have male application or ia
any way intima.cd that desired the ofiioo
of Treasurer, and in the second pl,c, l will
say tina, IL was candidate, it must have
been in the wicked Imagination Of the Union
correspondent to "The State" who sent o
special to tha, raper Jan. 9th, in which lie
sail representative j. II. Jefferie, had
stopped at Sauiuc Oh his way home from
Columbia, and spent the night with mo 70
see that l secured Mr.. Scotts position as
treasurer, and one Of his sons the office Of
auditor. Now, all have 10 say in referenea
to thi, is, that if all the specials to "TAe
State are rs utterly false as the one sent
out from Union, Jan. 9th, as far a. it rela es
to myself, there is nothing could he per-
suaded to believe that is published in that
the greatest Of critics; "Ths Daily State"
