The Proposed Tax on Sales.

The recommendation by the Commission
er of Internal Revenues Of a tax on sales,
/ is based By the assumption that the produc-
ton of the loyal States in taxable articles,
In 1868, amounted to three thousand seven
hundred millions of-dcllars in the prices of
1850. Large quantities of these products
such as grain, hay. pork, beef and fruit. are
consumed without sale, while the residue OF
these articles are.sold once or twice, or thrice
Textile fabrics are sold FIVE, six or seven,
times before being consumed. 1t is estima-
red by economists and Statistieans that the
productions Of country are sold four times,
and that three -fourths of them enter the
market On this basis of calculation, the
sales of merchandise and products in the
loyal States in year, would amount TO elev-
en- thousand millions of dollars. \ tax of
one-half of one per cent on this amount
would produce ffty-fve millions.
This tax on sales is recommended by the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue to
make up the deficit of thirty-fye millions
which he reports viii exist in the esti-
mated product Of our Excise system on the
both Of June. 1865, and to provide the
Treasury with balance 10 make up three
hundred millions required by Its needs and
the engagements which the Secretary has
made. The tax Is proposed as temporary
expedient only. 1t is recommended on the
economical principle laid down by ADAM
SMITH, that every tax ought TO be levied
at the time and in the manner in which it is
most likely TO be convenient for the contrib
tor to pay 1t. The seller viii add the tax
to the price, and thus anticipate the claim Of
the Government, and the purchaser, when
he buys to sell, VIII be reimbursed By the
consumer, who viii assume the bu den as
voluntary act. and proportion the weight TO
his ability to carry it, The tax, moreover,
Is recon mended by the Revenue Bureau for
the facility with > hich It's basis may be as
certained, and for It's freedom from the per-
picking and complicated inquiries to which
income and profits are necessarily subjected.
1t is preferable TO a supplementary duty on
incomes. It's also preferable to a direct i'm
post, which being payable out of capital and
not out Of profits, viii be Justly regarded as
Objectionable, and should be avoided

GENERAL DIX,s ORDER.

The decision of Judge Coursal. Of Mon
treal, In the case Of the St Albans raiders,
and the consequent order of General Dix,
greatly simplify the question to which the
case has given rise between the two govern
ments The course hitherto pursued by our
National authorities was of the most mild
and amicable nature the case would admit,
for that now taken by Gen. Dix might have
been adopted at the outset. as 1t Is in ac-
cordance with the acknowledged principles
Of International Law. PHILLaoRE, wri-
ter Of authority, vol l, p. 227. says:
"A rebellion or civil commotion 1t may
happen agisates nation; while the author
tiles are engaged'in repressing it. bands of
rebels pass the frontier 10 shelter themselves
under the protection Of the conterminous
State, and from thence, with restored strength
and fresh appliances, renew their invasion
upon the State from which they have escap-
ed The invaded tate demonstrates. The
remonstrance, whether from favor TO rebels
or feebleness of the Executive. Is UNDECIDED,
or ar least the evil complained of remains
unredreSsed In this state Of things the in
yaded Stateis warranted byInternational Law
in crossing the frontier. and in taking the
necessary means for her safety, whether these
be the capture or dispersion Of the rebels. or
the destruction Of their stronghold as the
exigencies OF the case may require.
Thus II viii be seen that Gen. Dix order
Is based upon international law, and may
possibly prevent any further marauding ex-
pedi5ions being fitted out in Canada In

Of hostility to our Government, but little

DETROIT, December 16.-A terrible acci-
dent occurred on the Grand Trunk Railway
last night, caused by the collision of the
Western bound passenger train with a
freight train, near this city After the col
lision, the cars took fire, and several wounded
persons, being unable to extricate them
selves from the wreck, were burned to death.
Two persons are known to have suffered
death in this manner, and it is reported that
others were killed. The full extent of the
loss of life is not aseertained

a Good Measure.

In the Lower Branch of Congress bill,
naturalizing all soldiers of twenty-one years
of age who have been honorably discharged
from the army, navy or marine corps, with
out any previous declaration, has passed. 1t
is fitting tribute to those brave men who
have endured the hardships of military life
and exposed themselves to deadly periLs for
the sake of the country. If any men have
fairly earned the right to exercise, in the
spediest possible time the privilege of suf-
frage those men are the soldiers of the T.
Mon army. Our people are properly evinc-
ing their sense of the services of our officers
by giving them swords, houses and public
receptions. 1t is well to do something sub
stantial Tor the rank and file
