MERCHANT TAILORs AND THE INTERNAL.
Merchant tailors are required to
take out license as manufacturers, but A
such they have right to sell their own
goods on their own premises, without tax.
inc out license as dealers. In some parts of
the country assessors are requiring merchan,
talors TO take out license for both. This ia
a mistake, unles the tailor sells goods other
than those he manufactures to the amount
of 81 900 per annum. A tailor is not re.
quired to take out license as manufacturer
unless his sales of goods, after they are
made up, amount to $1,000 or more per
annum. The tax is on the tailor, and not
on the purchasers. We perceive that some
of our merchants are charging the revenue,
tax on an item in each bill against custo.

Vallandigham of Ohio.

This sound Democrat, honest representa-
tive, and stern patriot, is everywhere draw
ing down upon his bead the anathemas of
the AboIitionsts
The Sac. Union, a print of this stamp,
published in Sacramento, in the issue of the
oath inst, gets off the following:
"Vallandgharn the defeated agent of Jeff
erson Davis, has offered a resolution in the
House Of Representatives in favor Of peace
and amendments to the Constitution that
will satisfy the South. His demonstration is
only noticeable becau it indicates what he
and his faction mean hv "he Constitution AS
it is" Of course Vallandigham don't ex,
pect his resolution will be favorabIy consid-
cred. He merely desires to manifest anew
his devotion to the Williams who have filled
the land with boodshed and desoation.'
These remarks were suggested to the e1i-
tor by the following despatch contained in
the same issue:
WAsHINGroN, December %.
an the House, yesterday, Vallandigham Of
Ohio, offered the following, saying that he
proposed to debate it, which causes it TO lie
over:
Resolved That this House earnestly desir
es the most speedy and effectual measures
! for restoring peace in America; and tn at no
time may be lost in proposing an imme diate
cessation of hos'ities in order to bring about
speedy and final settlement of the unhap.
py controversies which have brought about
this unnecessary civil war, by just and ade-
quate security against like calamties to
come: and that this House desires to offer
the most earnest assurances to the country
that it will in due time cheertully co operate
with the Executive and States for the restor-
alton of the Union by such explicit measures,
such solemn amendment to the provisions of
the Constitution as may be found necessary
for the security of the rights of the several
States within the Union and under the Con-
stitution."
Since Mr.. Vallandigham was elected to
Congress, the Abolition Legislature of Ohio
redistricted his district, lacking on to it a
county, which according to the vote Of 1861
should have made the opposition majority
against him this year, some three thousand :.
He was made the candidate of the democra-
cy at the last election, and notwithstanding
this tremendous vote against him, and the
most unprecedented exertions were used to
defeat him, thu Republican candidate was
near being defeated These facts do not
leave ground for the opposition to boast of
his defeat, butt does afford sufficient pre-,
text for bitter, unprincipled abolitionist to
speak of him, as "the defeated agent of
Jefferson Davis"

The Wounded Volunteer.

Where broad Potomac's waters lave,
And freedoms starry banners wave,
Beside the patriot hero's grave;
Upon q rising spot of ground,
Where willow trees stood weeping round,
A wounded volunteer was found.
"Wbat have we here"-beside him stood,
Just in the shadow of the wood,
A soldier, but of rebel blood.
To turn him now the wounded tries,
With feeble breath and stfed signs,
"Oh, welcome, welcome death, he cries.
The soldier, knceling, drops q tear,
Sustains his head and Gains his fear,
While unseen spirits hover near;
And angel smiles they gave to see,
Such kindly love and charity;
Still gaze they not unwillingly.
"Oh give me drink" the patriot cries,
AS on his foe he turns his eyes,
With pleading look of glad surprise.
Down where the meadow grass is green,
And line of silver light is seen,
The soldier fills his light canteen;
And backward now with hast'ning speed,
A friend in word. friend in deed;
OF praise he gains the highest need.
The cup is drained. "Full well you know,
In the late strife | was your foe,
Let enmty no further go;
Thanks brother thanks, the past is past,
My sands of life are running fast,
Each laboured breath may be my last.
>.
Alas not when or where we please:
TO some on dowuy beds of ease,
Where stretch the frozen northern seas,
Death comes, and not to me alone,
The king calls not his life his own,
And we do reap as we have sown."
He paused awhile new strength to gain,
And wrthed in agony OF pain;
Still wakes again the sad refrain:
"Where Fries wavelets break in foam,
And feathery SHOWS OF winter come.
| have o father, friends and home;
And, comrade, if it ere shall be,
That you, my grey-haired sire shall see,
Tell him to shed no tear for me;
That, for the cause we reckoned right,
| bore me bravelv in tn fight,
From noon till closed the shades of night;
And he who falls in freedoms cause,
For native land, his countrys laws,
Is worthy of the best applause"
Now failed he quite, in manhood's pride,
The angel watchers upward glide;
There, in the rebels arms he died.

NEwspApERs-T The Chicago Tribune
SAYS in relation to the rise of paper, it is
producing commoton among the the pub
fishing fraternity. The papers makers say
that the price of rags has advanced and is
still going higher, and no telling where it
will stop. But the enhancement on white
paper is only one of the griefs now affecting
the fraternity. Federal taxes on advertiser
ments, paper, job work, income, Geographic
dispatches, and every article of consumption
in printing office, constitute other serious
items. There is but one course left for pub
fishers, and that is to raise their subscription
rates.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

The validity of the late amendments was
raised in case decided this week, in the
Supreme Court, viz: In the matter of
Carlos Oliyerez. The Court does not de-
eide the main question, that is, whether
the amendments are in truth constitution
ally passed and incorporated into our chart
of Government. The Court says, that as
suming the amendments to be legally passed +,
they do not now 60 into force further than
to authorize the necessary measures to be
taken for the organization of the new courts,
while the former provisions of the Constltu-
ton continue in force so far as to uphold
the existing Courts and authorize the exer'
else of their jurisdiction until the new Courts
shall be prepared to exercise the jurisdiction
intended to be substituted. This principle
decided the case then before them without
going further into the question.
1t is whispered about among the qnid
nuncs of the Supreme Court, that that
branch Of the State Government will decide
that the amendments are part of the Con-
s.:uton, should the question be fairly pre-
scented before the Court. 1t may be that
the proclamation Of the Governor declaring
them adopted, in connection with the action
of the Legislature of 1862, authorizing him
to make such proclamation in certain
event,-they being the representative branch
es Of the political power Of the State organ
iza,ion, will authorize this action of the,
Supreme Court.
The political power establishes the fact of
Constitution, and the judicial branch inter-
pets it when so established.
If the Court assumes to 60 behind the
action of these political representatives, it
will be passing upon facts instead of law
and upon the very fact that gives life or
effects death, to itself The Indications are
that the coming Legislature will affirm the
decision of the Governor in his proclama'
ton, by providing for the election of all the
officers set forth in the amendments, and by
passing other acts necessary to set the ma
chinery of the new Government in working
order. Should this be done, it will require
further mediate action by the people, to
undo the decision of the political bodies,
which is not likely to be done before the
new Government enters in all its branches
upon the discharge Of their several functions.
To the people it makes bu, little differ
ence which way the question is settled, so
there does not spring up contrary rulings
the Legislature deciding that they are car
ried and the Courts that they are not, and
yici uersa for the effect of this might be to
establish two Governments in our midst,
both claiming to be the Government. We
predict that the amendments will not work
an improvement on the present organic law,
and that the people will ultimately curse
the parties that have Struggled these amend
ments into law.
The Placer herald., 1862-12-27
Restoring pc ace in America, and the res'

Restoring pc ace in America, and the res
toraton of the Union, are propositions,
which to the mind of this amiable editor,
are not expected to receive favorable cont
speration at the hands of Mr.. Lincoln and
this abolition Congress.
As we understand the resolution, the drift
of it is to give to the South constitutional
amendments such rs were proposed by the
border State convention of 1861. This of
course the Sac. Union is opposed to, as it
would if consummated, defeat the entire
abolition programme. The "Crittenden
Compromise" never had the countenance OF
the Union or any other paper of that stamp,
because its hearty endorsement by the people
of the free States would have saved the
Union of the Staes-but wouM also hare
perpetuated the Institution of slavery IN The
Southern States, there was the rub.
Notwithstanding this truth is so manifest
that paper has persistently lied about the
defeat of that measure. 1t we'll knows that
the country will hold as responsible those
who defeated the measure, and therefore it
looses no opportunity to charge the South
ern members with that great sin, before
God and the country. The utter falseness of
this charge we have proven over and over
again. and placed the responsibility where
it belongs-on the shoulders of the RepubH-
can party.
Here again the same proposition comes
up, and the Union denounces it as a mere
design to manifest anew, devotion to the
the Williams of the South.

CONVENTION OF PUBLIsHERs.-As is well
known, publishers of newspapers throughout
the United States find themselves in great
difficulty, owing to the enormous price OF
printing paper--an increase which entails an
absolute loss on publishers of most papers,
In the Eastern States, the greater number of
papers have met the difficulty by an increase
of the subscription price. Some such step
may become necessary in California. The
Stockton Independent suggests that com
vention of newspaper publishers, to consider
the subject, be held in Sacramento on Mon
day of the second week of the Legislature.
