Many Poll TaHea Unpaid

The recent agitation In toe general es-
sembly OF the matter OF payment Of The
eapitstion tax reveals the fact that but
a small percentage of the voters OF Rich.
mond. have complied with the law. Of
the u al persons against whom the
tax was assessed this year, only LOO
have paid up. Last year 2l,OOO were
assessed, and by December i 1850 had
paid. In order to vote next year persons
otherwise qualified to vote must pay
their poll tax by December lst this year.
The local Democratic managers have
become 90 much concerned over the Dc
linquency Of the voters that a sPecia
meeting Of the city Democratic commit
tee was held to adopt measures urging
the voters to pay thtir poll tax and thus
qualify them selves 70 vote.
A number of citizens of Fredericksburg
will also be disqualified IRON the cam
cause unless they pay their poll take
