The Counties and Baltimore City.

We have no present means of knowing
what amount Of Importance to attach to the
two "Lecislative Conventions which re-
Gently met in Baltimore to nominate candi-
dates TO fill certain vacancies in the repre-
sentation from that city in the Legislature
of the State. Whether these "conven-
tions" represented any body beyond the
nominees and their immediate adherents or
represented a majority of the registered and
qualified voters in the legislative districts
for which they undertook to speak, are
Questions which, with our present means OF
information, we do not deem it necessary to
discuss. Suffice it. that the nominees OF
these bodies are before the people for cleo
ton without opposition and are of the rank
est, and we may add, of the coarest radical
type Of character. They denounce every
body as traitors or rebel sympathizers
whose names are not to be found in the for.
tunate eighth column of the registration
books and arc blatant in opposition to any
repeal or modification of the registry law
OF course, nobody who is familiar with the
present condition of Baltimore, will under
take to ccnsure, much less to punish, her
for the acts or vaporings of the cunning
and unprincipled tricksters who at present
assume to represent her. Nevertheless, in
order the more speedily to retire these mock
lawmakers and TO institute a republican
system of government in the State, it would
be good policy, we think, on the part of
those counties which favor a repeal of the
registry law to ignore all subordinate
subjects Of dispute for the present
and combine against Baltimore and her in
fuence or rather against those clever politi-
cal jockeys who are riding her at will, as If
she was beast of burthen and they had a
patent to profit or pleasure themselves at
her expense. To the end, therefore, that
the conservative representatives of the DIFF
ferent counties of the State who oppose the
registry law may act harmoniously and in
telligently when they shall be called upon
to confront in the Legislature the Balti-
more jockeys and their few country friends,
we respectfully suggest that an early ex.
change Of views be had between them te
systematize and perfect the combination re.
commended above

The Doctors Offer.

The learned doctors who have charge Q.
the Registry business in Baltimore have
recently met in council, called into consul.
tation Messrs. Winter Davis and Company,
and incontincnt!y overruled the Attorney
General Of the State IN matter deeply in.
volving the legal reputation of that dis.
tinguished functionary. As is known tc
our readers Mr.. Randall has given an
opinion, concurred in By Gov. Bradford
that the Registers, during the las: two
days Of their session, could aid no new
names to tue published lists Of voters, bu:
that they might, in their discretion, sub
st-srt from :his list such names as they
believed had been placed their wrongfullv.
The Baltimore doctors raise an issue upo1.
this point. They contend that the off,
GERS of registration are fully competent un-
der the law not only to sub5tract from, but
to add to. the published lists Of voters
They contend, also, that the registers
should enter in the first column the names
Of "all white male persons of tie constitu-
tional age, resident in Maryland on these
two last days" and further, "that any
new name Of resident produced By any
citizen on these two days must also be en-
tered in the first column, whether il be en-
tered into the eighth column or not
And thus the matter stands at present.
In the meanwhile, the people of Maryland,
regarding the question at issue between
the learned gentlemen as mere baqlteue,
are earnestly addressing themselves to the
task of rilding the State Of the Registry
Law itself. They refuse to he amused
with trihes or to engage in other subjects
of dispute while it can be said. the Regis
try Law still! stands

Income q of Farmers.


The following letter, from the Deputy
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, may
be of interest to many farmers and plan
ters of this State:
TREAs'y DEPT, OFFICE INr'L REVENUE, !
WASHINGTON, March II. 1865.
.Sir-Your letter of March 9th in re-
gard to farmers income returns is recciv-
ed.
reply that the act of July | 1862, un.
der which returns were made for the annu.
al income taxes of 1862 and 1868, rcquir-
ed farmers to return each year the entire
crop harvested.
But the act of June 80, 1864, now in
force, under which the returns for the spe-
cial income tax of 1868 were made, reqnir-
es farmers to return each year the amoun,
of produce sold.
1t will be found that farmers income re,
turns for 1864 will include some portion 0,
the crop of 1868, and which was taxed as
income for that year. There is an appar-
ent injustice in subjecting the same income
to tax in two different years, the year when
raised and the year when sold; but con-
sideration of the question will show that
it is only an apparent one.
For, suppose the income of farmer to
be the same every year, and the rate OF
tax the same, it is plain that the amount
of tax should be also the came. Now, the
farmer does not sell the whole crop OF each
year uithtn that ycar--and if he is taxed
in 1864 on such produce only as he raised
and sold within that year, i, is clear that
he will not pay the full tax due on his real
income.
Suppose the yearly crop to be the same
the farmer will in the last year OF the tax
raise certain amount of produce on which
he will pay no tax, because unsold, anO
such produce will, "n an acsrdg', be fan
offset against the produce raised in 1868
but sold in 1864, and which, consequent
ly, pays two taxes.
It is true that in particular cases, hard
ships will arise from the fact that the prac
tice of farmers is not uniform in regard tC
selling or storing produce, and in othel
cases farmers will escape their just share o
tax for the same reason.
But the same occasional inequality vii
occur under any general provision of law
and cannot be avoided.
The entire amount, therefore, of pro
kduce sold in 1864, must be returned as IN
come BY ia. mere. without regard TO sn,
