The Amendments of the Tax Law.

The list of changes in the internal revenue
law, comprised in the amendment of the last
session, is quite long, but for the most part
of minor Importance, being made to remedy
defects in the law of last summer, discover
ed by six months trial. 1t imposes some
new licenses, $40 on architects and engi-
neers $50 on builders and contractors
SO on butchers when annual sales are over
$1,000; 50 on hackmen and wagoners
$40 on insurance agents and brokers; 500
on lottery ticket dealers $40 on retail deal.
ers, with the exception of dealers in liquors.
whose license is $40; on wholesale dealers
the license is on a graduation scale, SO
when the annual sales do not exceed $50.
900, and 50 up to 5000 when sales are be-
tween 100000 and S2.OOO,OOO. One of
the most Important sections of those added
imposes severe penalty On those who do
not ay the license required of them. One
other change is TO be noted, that no du-
ty is to be required on malt liquors, or on
coal, Illumination oil refined, produced by
dsti.ation Of coal, asphaltum, shale, peat,
petroleum, or rock oil, when brewed, manu-
featured Or distilled prior to September /,
1862. In case duty has already been lev
led on the articles above enumerated, manu-
featured prior to September l, 1862, the
amount paid is to be refunded on production
of proof that the manufacture was prior to
that date, and that the duties have been paid.
The long list of other additions and exemp-

firms in the taxes will make themselves
known when the tax gatherer comes round
next.
Several new offices are created by the law:
that of deputy commissioner of internal rev.
enue-the incumbent to be appointed by the
President, with an annual salary of $4,000 !;
that Of cashier of internal duties, whose sal
airy is to be $4,000, and who is required to
give bonds that he will account for all mon
eys intrusted to him. The compensation of
the officers originally appointed under the
tax law has also been increased, as there was
very general complaint that they were not
high enough before. Collectors are to re-
ceive in addition to the compensation now
allowed them, further commission of Ito
of one per cent upon all taxes col .ected over
100000 in any one year, and their charges
for postage actually paid, the compensation
exclusive of official expenses, not to exceed 81
900 however. The receivers. instead of the
compensation allowed in the original act, are
to receive salary Of $500 per annum from
the date of their appoi ntment. and in addi
ton, when the receipts of the collectors dis
trict exceed 100000 annually, one per cent
upon the excess of receipts over this amount,
the total pay not to exceed $500. Com
pensation is also to be allowed for clerk hire,
office and postage. Assistant assessors are
to receive in addition to the sums already
allowed them, only the amount expended for

not exceeding half an ounce, and an addi-
tional rate for eich half ounce or fraction Of
an ounce--in all cases to be prepaid by pos
tage stamps. No charge will be made either
for the delivery or collection Of any class of
letters, whether local or from or intended to
be sent by the mails.
The regulations respecting soldiers letters
remain the same as heretofore.

a money order system, vas rejected in the
Senate and finally abandoned.

u. S. GENERAL HOSPITAL, ]
W February 23. 1853. {

Bra,tleboro, VT, February %, 1868.
Your response to my calls for aid in behalf
of this hospital have been answered in man,
ner fully equal to the expectations nao
formed and which were founded upon long
acquaintance with your character. IL no"
becomes matter OF historic interest that
such liberal contributions IN money anu
clothing have been furnished with almost sur
prising a!acrity from all pats OF the STATE,
and amongst the many valuable e'loehces o. Oh
the patriotism of the people OF vermont Will
be found in the state Archives, record that
the mothers and daughters first gave their
SONS and brothers, and then contributed most
i;h.rall, of their goods, to render them more
comfortable not only in the field where they
were fighting for glorious cause, but also
in this salubrious retreat where they again
can enjoy their own native air, and secure the
benefit of its healing power.
This hospital as it now stands is itself a
monument to the soldier. 1t tells the plain
story that the people Of this state value his
services. 1t says we do not forget now free
~ our sons have shed their blood on southern
sell 10 prevent the agresslons OF rising arls-
tocracy, based upon human slavery IL says
we remember with pride Warwick Creek, An
tietam, South Mountain, Champions Pass,
Fredericksburg and the many long mafches'
and days and nights Of toll and prlVations
our soldiers have endured. 1t says too, here
repose-aId although, all have not been
alike honorable-and the restraints requir-
ed to secure order and justice may be irk-
some and annoying to the half soldier and
impatient friends, tie patriotism of the peo-
pie ask of its inmates that they prove as
good soldiers in hospital as they have been
in the field.
We beg to say in conclusion, that before
this stream of beneyClence that has been
flowing so steadily for weeks past, and which
still flows in all the silent eloquence of the
placid Connecticut that gldes beneath our
walls can be stopped, all our wants will be
supplied. What record is this-does it not
speak volumes in your praise. Cease then
ladies-reserve all that You can for future
calls-they will occur if the contest continues.
Send something to the Sanitary Commission
who have rendered our soldiers in the held
such service-remembe that but for them
our suffering at Warwick Creek, Williams
burg and many other places would have been
doubled. But at the same time remember
there may be another call upon your benevo-
lence within our own borders.
In my monthly report for February shall
give you the particulars Of this contribution
and its application to the uses for which it
has been designed.
