STATE TAXES FOR ,ea,

The Public Printer having given notice that he
VIII not be able this year TO publish sketch OF
the Laws passed at the late session of the Gene
raj Assembly, we have thought il advisable, for
general information, 10 state The changes made in
the Tax Law, in which all are interested.
The tax on Land is reduced from I25 10 10
cents; and on rents OF Lots in towns from SO to
800; on Slaves from 40 10 80 cents and on
Horses from i24 20 10 cents.
Two lower grades Of Merchants licenses have
becn introduced into the law Where the annual
sales do not amount TO S25OO, The license is 6 O
over 1000 and under $4,000, The license is SIS.
In other respects, the scale remains heretofore.
A tax OF S25 is imposed on llawkers and Ped
lars west of the Allegheny, instead of $50 as
heretofore. East of the Allegheny the tax con-
inues 10 be $50.
The minimum tax on Carriages is abolished,
and an al Udtorem tax of one and half per CEN
tum on Tie valuation Of all Carriages is substi-
tuted.
On Gold and Sit yer Plate the tax is increased
from one TO one and half per ceu,un on The va
luo over $50. On metallic Clocks, the tax is re-.
duced from SO to % cents.
Tax on dividends and on interest of money
loaned out or invested in public securities, is re-
duced from two to and a halt per contum--
The clause cXempiing Ministers Of the Gospel
IRON the payment of salary tax, contained in the
law OF 1874, is omitted iii the present law and
me Auditor, IN his instructions TO the Commits
sioners oil The Revenue, considers them, in con-
sequence of that omission, subject 10 the tax, as
othor persons. There is also a new provision in
the law of the present year, which makes money
held by an individual or partnership on the LIST Of
February, over and above $500, subject TO a tax Of
ten cents for every hundred dollars excess; but
capital employed in trade belonging to merchants
or auciioneors, who have obtained licences or
belonging TO banks or incorporated companies, is
not embraced by the law; neither are interest
dividends or officers salaries, which are taxed
separately.
These the material changes made in the
Tax law for the present year--by which it will
be seen that there has been considerable rcduc
ton in the burihcn on the leading subjects of tax
aiion.--Lunchburg Hircininn.
