It. 1t Senate, December 18, 1829. THE Special Committee, to whom was referred the Report of the Comptroller General, founded on a resolution of the Senate, in relation to the apparent decrease in the numbir of slaves, and the amount of tax on slaves for the years 1825 and '26, Report, that from the Comptroller's exhibits it would appear that in 1825 and '26, a diinution in the number of slaves of 33,856, and in the amount of tax on that de- scription of property, of $25,397 25 cents, had occurred. In the years alluded to, the whole tax on slaves whs not placed in the appropriate column, but a part was blended with the aggregate of taxes, and the slaves in the districts in which their owners did not live, were not mentioned. Hence, although the state seems to have been credited with the full tax due by our citizens for those years, yet, without the ex. planations afforded by the Comptro ler, in his late annual exhibit, and in the report re- ferred to your committee, the conclusion would have been inevitable, that the state had actually sustained the loss already adverted to. With a view to a more correct exposition of the taxablp property in the various sec- tions of the state, your committee beg leave to recommend that the Comptroller be re- quested so to shape his reports hereafter, as, that the number of slaves in each parish or district, and the amount of tax on slaves for which such parish or district is liable, may be correctly ascertained.
