Kentucky Loyalty.

Kentuckians are accustomed 10 make
great boast Of the sacrifice they have
made for the Union, and to claim immense
sredit for having withheld from the COnfed-
sraey. But they have been scrupulOus to
sfix numerous conditions to their adhe-
renee to the Federal Government They
hl7e assumed the attitude of spoiled
children, who, petted and coaxed by over
indulgent parents, finally expect unlim-
tied thanks and pattings on the back for
doing grudgingly what they should
Have done at first willingly and cheerfully.
They look upon loyalty as favor to the
Government, not as duty binding upon
them. And so, like the States about 10
secede two years ago, they threaten that
ifthis or that is not done, they will with
draw from the service of Government and
the country. In this respect they occupy
the position so long held by the Southern
ers, who are now rebels, in Congress and
the Executive. They are bullying the
North, and demanding control of the war
and the Administration. 1t was only the
other day, that, in the Legislature at
Frankfort, Mr.. Underwood, from the Com
rAiiiAs nm Military Affairs, reported res
olutiOn directing the soiuIgIs ~ nglis
for the Proclamation, pronOuncing it to be
unconstitutional, in which the House con-
surred-yeas 65, naysl5 The impudence
Of the resolution is only equalled by its
eriminality.
In what bright contrast to this petty
Jogging Unionism, does the conduct of Mis-
souri, appear. With as much at stake as
Kentucky, and having even more CONNER
eial ties to bind her to the South, she nobly
resolves to sustain the Presidentin all his
war measures, and especially in the
Emancipation decree, and not only sus-
tains him, but meets him half way, and
declares herself in favor Of his policy. The
future Of Missouri as free State will be
the best lesson that could be given toher

The Income Tax.


Some misapprehension having arisen in
relation to the time and manner Of paying
the Income Tax levied by the act of Con-
gress approved July l, 1852, it is useful to
know the exact provisions of the law
They are stated by the New York Evening
Post as follows
q No tax upon incomes can be levied or
collected until the first day Of Nay, 1868.
Section 80 Of the act of July last repeals
sections 49, so and 81 of the act of August
5, 1861, Except the part relating to the
appointment Of depositaries, and makes
the following regulations: On the first
of May, 1858, the assessors shall levy a
tax of three per cent. upon all incomes
which shall have exceeded the sum Of six
hundred dollars during the year ending
December 81, 1862
"If the Income for the year 1862 ex-
ceeded the sum of ten thousand dollars,
the tax shall be five per cent. upon all
above six hundred dollars. This tax Of
three or i've per cent. is due and payable
on or before the Both day of June, 1861
If remaining unpaid for thirty days after
June Both, penalty will be imposed.
a person, therefore, whose income in
1852 was one thousand dollars, will be
assessed at three per cent. on four hundred
dollars Of that sum on the first Of MAY
next, and will have at least sixty days in
which to pay his tax; that is to say, man
who received last year salary Of one
thousand dollars, must pay an income tax
of twelve dollars on or before the Both
of June next, with the privilege Of delay
for an additional thirty days.
The income tax is to cease absolutely
at the end of the year 1885,"
