TAX ON BANK DIVIDENDS.

WARRENroN, N c., July I6 1857.
Mr.. D. W. CoUKTs, -Dear Sir: Your communi
cation of the 18th instant asking my opinion as to
whether dividends arising from stock in the several
banks OF the State subjects of taxation under
present revenue law, has been received and hasten
to reply.
am of opinion that the dividends arising from
stock in the several banks of the State, taxed
under our revenue law, section Goth. The tax
imposed on stock owned by individuals corpora
tons in said banks-section 49, Revised laws-I
look upon as separate and distinct tax, upon an
entirely different subject, having no connection
whatsoever with that upon dividends; the one is
payable to the Treasurer of the State by the officers
of the bank-the other TO be listed by the owner,
and paid to the sheriff of the county. This l be-
eve to have been the intention of the Legislature,
and am of opinion that they had right to impose
both taxes
You call my attention particularly to the charter
of the Bank OF the State. 2 Revised Statutes, Sec
tion 18th, page 81, reads" Each share owned by
individuals shall be subject to an annual tax of %
cents and no more, which shall be reserved out OF
the profits as they accrue"
This | think prohibits the Legislature from in
creasng the tax above % cents on the share; and
it for that that in the late Revised Laws,
section 1885, you find that the Bank of the State is
excepted, but think it does prohibit the Legs-
lature from taxing the dividends arising from stock
in said Bank. | am therefore Of opinion that divi-
bends upon stock owned by individuals in the Bank
of the State, are taxed under our Revenue Laws. l
know there is diversity of opinion in regard to
this matter, and suppose the whole subject will be
carried to the Supreme Court for construction.
have not thought it at ak necessary to give il full
the reasons for the opinion to which have arrived
Very respectfully, your obed't servt,

ANNOYING THE SoUTH.-The Detroit Free Press
thus winds up catalogue of the various schemes
invented by the Abolitionsts to vex and annoy the
South. Many will recollect the combination attempt
ed by the Aboltionsts against the products of slave
labor. Formal resolutions passed, pledging the
pharisees to abstain from eating wearing anything
grown in slave State. This heralded as a
master stroke of policy. The result grlevously disap
pointed their hopes A few corneE' groceries in the
towns Inhabited by A5olitionsts made large profits
by selling free labor sugar something above the
market price; few old ladies' sweetened their tea
with maple syrup, and slipped it with air of self
denial which was not all pretence; here and there
strong minded woman after finding that the socalled
linen fabrics contained slight admxture of slave

effort ceased. The spirit which prompted it not

erty when there is little danger punishment which
has rendered the practice favore one with the Alb
clifton disciples. 1t is true, that majority of the
negroes thus enticed from their homes, are left in
much condition than before, but as the effort
seems to be directed more against the master than
in favor of the slave, the end is secured though
the latter is left to miserable and desolate existence

The OPERATIONS OF A FINANCIER.

A writer of the Tribune, thus sketches the clos.
ing career of Mr.. Allbone, the President Of the
Penhsy ylyania Bank.
Mr.. Allibone received salary OF $4,000. His
family consisted of wife and twelve children,
and it might be supposed that this responsible
charge would constitute strong guarantee for
prudence aud fidelity in his new position. There
is too much reason TO believe that he was wholly
insensible to its responsibilities. The dashing
manner in whichhis cwn business on the wharf
had been conducted, by degrees became 0ppasent
in his management of the bank. Customers of
many yerrs standing were uncermoniously cnt off
from all accommodation, and in consequence with
drew their accounts. In their place appeared the
personal friends of the new President, but it was
ascertained that the great mass OF even these
were no better served than the others. In expla-
nation OF these phenomena, it be came evident that
he was in close connection with brokers, aud OF
a class too, whose principle business consisted in
shaving under all its most odous forms, 1t WAS
matter Of astonishment and general complaint,
that he was continually closeted with this class OF
mon, while one mercantile applicant after anoth
er found it impossible to gain admission to his
presence. This fact was matter Of general remark
among the customers of the bank. Simultaneous.
ly with this condition of things, the manners OF
the President underwent great change lie as
sumed new airs of Importance, aud his whole de-
pertinent became SO pompous as 10 ALLEVIATE new
class Of Jd established friends of The bank. 1t
would appear almost that his head was turned
that lao had got beyond his depth AT the same
time his whole style of living became unjustly ex'

nor thereafter unless two-thirds Of the members OF
both Houses of the Legislature shall agree to sub.
init to the call of a Convention of the People nor
even then unless "a majority Of all tie citizens Of
tie State" (not merely majority of all who actu-
ally v0te shall ratily the call. Practically, there.
fore, no change can ever be made in this Consttu.
ton so long as any portion of the inhabitants de.
sire to have 1t remain as now fixed.
XI. A Constitutional Election is to be held on
the 2lst. of next month, but not to determine
whether the people approve dsapprove this
Constitution. On that point they are not allowed
to vote-are allowed no voice whatever They are
allowed to vote only for the Constitution ,ciM
Slavery" or "Constitution sDithom Slavery" as
they may see fit. But, should majority vote for
the 'Gonstituton aouhom Slavery" Mat does not
abolish nor erpel Siarery. All the slaves already
in Kansas, with their offspring, are to remain
slaves forever, and both the Legislature and the
People are forbidden ever to pass any act or make
any change in the Constitution which shall "ef-
ect the right of property in the ownership Of
slaves"
XII. The legislature already elected by the peo.
pie OF Kansas is stricken dead with this Constitu.
ton. The power hitherto invested in the Govern
or to receive and canvas the votes Of the People
is taken from him and vested in "the President of
THE COnvention," John Calhoun. lie is to ap.
point County Commissioners, who are to appoint
judges OF election for each poll, which judges are
to appoint the clerks-so that the people have
never chance from first to last John Calhoun's
appontces make their returns to John Calhoun,
who canvasses them and declares the result. No
chance is left for such slip-up in the case of
the detected fraud, at Oxford, &C. In any possible
case Slavery is fastened on Kansas beyond her
power to shake it off, provided Congress can be in
duced to accept this Constitution. And tue calcu-
latlon evidently is, that tho Free-State men will
refuse to countenance this viany by voting under
it, so that the Constitution ,oHh Slavery" will be
tIiump phantly carried.
People of the United States unless your Rep.
resentatves reject this Constitution, Kansas is for.
ever enslaved! Will you not arouse aud let your
wishes be known?

A STAMPEDE,-A great stampede Of slaves took
place at Cambridge, No. on Saturday night last
No less than thirty made their escape-iiteen be-
longing to Samuel Patterson, Esq, seven to Miss
Jane Gator, three to Richard Keene, one to W. V.
Brvnnock, one to Reuben E. Phillips, one to the
estate of VIM. d. Travers, deceased and two free
negroes. These make ,f6rty,f6uF who have left
that place wthn two weeks. Messrs. Pattison,
Philips and Brannock have offered reward of
3d. 100 for the apprehension of their slaves.
On the above advertisement, | shall make few
l. Samuel Patterson Esq, mentioned in the
notice, is an aged and wealthy member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in Dorchester county,
Maryland, in the bounds of the Philadelphia Con-
ference. He is pillar in the Church in that sec
ton of the country, and a man of the highest stan
ding among his fellow citizens. Mr. Pattison we
know personally. lie estimates his loss at twelve
OF fifteen thousand dollars. They left on Satur-
day night, October 24th. On Sunday morning,
Mr.. Pattison missed them and in the afternoon Of
the same day great save-hunt came oif--but
without success. The slave-hunters are on the
track of the painting fugitiyes, but as yet they
have not been captured, though very heavy re-
ward has been offered to the negro hunters.
Mr. Reuben h. Phillips is member Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church also. The slave re-
ferred to belonging to the estate OF Wm. ID.
Travers, belongs to the Rev. Levi b. Trasers,
local preacher in the Methodist Episcopal Church
in Dorcester county, who is rich in goods, having
married the only daughter aud child OF Nm. ID,
Travers. The Reverend gentleman offers $500
reward in the Cambridge Democrat If these poor
