The Income TAx-A Timely Hint to
MeddlerA.


meddlerB.
We are glad to observe TINT one of the most
obnoxious clauses Of The act concerning the
collection Of the income tax has been cousid-
cred BY United States Commissioner Lewis.
who has issued peremptory orders to the As
SCISSORS and Collectors, in relation thereto.
Section Is Of the net Of July l, 1852, provides
that Assessors shall advertise all persons con
ccrned, Of the time and place In each county
Fheu and where the LETS taken In said couu-
ty may be examined, aud said lists shall re-
main epm. for examination, for the space Of IF.
teen days, This provision, 1t is needless to
! remsrk, was looked upon with great dissatfs-
faction by almost everybody. It completely
opened every ybody's cash book, pocket book,
busfness prospects, etc, to everybody else
who happened TO be inquialtire enough to look
them up.
In q cirrn1ar Just received By Assessor
Tadswofth, Of this district, from Conmis-
piouer Lewis, perticular attention Is called to
this fact, nd-Aeseaeors and Collectors OF tho
Income tax are directed to "ezereise such q
eoutYd Of the Ksss a. to prevent the qualification
of mere Sde csrIositg i~ The examination q

dens, but nov and then In what are termed
the upper walks Of society. Wherever there
is a thorough bred Copperhead, there the en-
rolling officer meets with opposition, in one
ehape or another. At last We hayean instance
Of this opposition in O so.ca1led Court Of Jus
tice. The facts are these: T.
On Monday of last week, an enrolling Off
Ger called at the Office of Turner g. Mitchell,
requesting note from the firm to their clerk
ut the packing house, which note should au-
thorize the clerk to furnish the enrolling off,
Ger such information as he might require, re-
epecting the hands in their employ ut the
packing house. They gave the required au-
thosity. On Thursday night, Mr. Robert
Hodgson, foreman Of the packing house, was
bruta1ly assaulted, aud severely wounded in
The head, By man living in the vicinity Of
the works. Hodgson told the man that he
had reported no name but his own-that be
had done nothing to incur the displeasure of
any one; but the brutal fellow would not lis
ten to his rcaeoninge, and best him shauefully.
On Friday, Mr.. Joseph Starnes, Bookkeeper
with Turner & Mitchell, made q statement
Of The tacts at the Central Police Station, and
was referred by c. p. Bradley to the Police
Justice-she proper tribunal. At two o'clock
he presented the mat:er to Justice Mi1ler-
gave him the business card Of the firm as
voucher for their responsibility, md stated
the facts clearly and plainly, asking him to
issue warrant for the arrest Of the party who
had committed the assault This Justice
Miller insultingly refused to do, and rebuked
Mr.. Starnes for doing that which he had no
right to do-contendiug that he had no busi-
ness to give the names of his hands to the en-
rolling officer, nor to authorize any Of the
clerks Of the firm to furnish them any infor-
nation about others. He said the man had
committed no violation Of the city Law, and
he should take no coguizance of it; that
having done that which they bad no business
Mr.. starnes stated the case clearly, and insist.
I'd upon warrant, but was sueered at by the
Justice as II he bad no rights
The aninus Of this ruling Is plainly evident
Resistance to the enrolment. Justice Mil
lerby hlmselfi is not worth thei ink We are using.
but as one Of the prominent men in the DEM
ocratic party, his action may be taken rs q
precedent. Now, we submit to the people Of
Chicago If this Copperhead functlonary and
opposer Of the Government is fit to occupy
the position he daily disgraccs. Complaints
arc frequently made to us of his incompeteney,
but We would not judge him entirely upon
TINT stand poiut. That he is incompetent is
notorious. No man ever obtained justice at
bis bands, except he belonged to his party.
No loyal, Union man can get justice in that

The alarming news from Pennsylvania, and the

SHARPSHooTERS AT ANTIETAM.-We find the
following in the Toledo Commercial, by one who
was at Atietam:
"The uniform worn by the Federal officers
rendered the wearer, even when afoot, couspic-
uous at long rife range and the loss of more
than half the officers of Kimballs Brigade that
went into the battle of Antietam shows that the
enemy's sharpshooters made use of this fact to
pick thcu off. Just before the Seventh Virginia
Volunteers reached the crest OF the hill behind
wDlcn tho enemy were lying ia l0Ice, MAJ. Lock
wood commanding, was struck on the side by an
Enfield rifle ball, and was saved by his canteen
upon which the ball struck obliquey and glanced
off. Soon after another passed between his
horses ears and struck his saddle. The Adjutant
General of the brigade, riding up for orders
soon, after, made sudden jerk Of his head back
wards, bullet brushed his musache, and car
ried away part of his shouder-srap. All these
balls came from an elevation, and with such a
force as to preclude the idea Of their being
