Description
Messrs. J. A. and D. G. Campbell, for the plaintiff in error: A collector of taxes charged with the duty of receiving gold or silver or treasury notes, or notes of the National banks, for the taxes imposed upon cotton, and upon the receipt of the amount, to enter the fact upon his books; stamp it upon the bales of cotton; declare it as a fact in the permit for the removal of the cotton from the district; and faithfully report it to the government,–neglects, evades, and violates his duty when he takes a draft on a commission merchant at a distance, upon a promise contained in a letter to a taxpayer, for the amount of the tax, and treats that draft as lawful money, and allows the removal of the cotton and facilitates its removal and sale by false stamps and false statements in his permits, and does not pay the taxes to the United States.
