THE DIRECT TAx.-We alluded in our
last to the bill which had passed Congress
providing for direct taxation for the support
of the Government. The Bulletin, Of Thurs
day, publishes the act in full, by which it
appears that the only tax levied, is the prop
erty tax Of $2O.OOO, 900, and the income tax
The excise on spirituOus and fermented
liquors, and the tax on carriages, watches.
ETC., we're in the bill as il passed the House.
but were struck out by a Senate amend
ment AS the bill finally passed, the in
come tax was fixed at three per cent. on all
incomes over $500 per annum. OF the $780,
0OO. 900 direct tax. the share assessed to the
Pacific States and Territories is as follows !:
CalltOrnla, ................$ $Z54,5oS.
oregon, ................., 30, l4O.
Washington, ,.............. 1856.
NeVada, ..... .........s.' 4,OSA'
This tax is to be raised by the several
States aud Territories, if they will under
take the duty, for which they are allowed
fifteen per cent. of their respective assess
ments. But if the States refuse to collect
it, provision is made for its collection by
Federal officers.
