in regard to suid letter. I has
requested last June by some of
the tax-payers to write to the
Comptroller about our State tax
es which were collected for tbe
years 1878 and 1874. The let-

I showed to everyone concerned,
(that is, to those who asked me
to write it) and also to tbe
county court, expeoting^tln>m to
circulate the contents of said
letter to the taxpayers gener-

was filed in my office, subject to
the inspection of the public, and
not kept concealed as this foul *
