Income Tax Returns.

commissioner LRWI6 1OrW8fOe0 the 1O4-
lowing letter to an Assessor of Internal
Revenue in Buffalo. It is as applicable to
other districts as that, and will be found
of general interest. If the course therein
layed down were faithfully followed by
Assessors, there is not q doubt that the
frauds would be materially lessened and
the revenue largely increased:
TREAssRY DEPARTMENT., !
OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE, ;
WAsHINGroN, March 8, 1865.
SR: Complaints have been made to this
Office as to the manner In which income re.
turns have been made In many collection dis
tricts in the United States, ard concerning
yours among others. 1t is the power of the
Assessor, and it is also his duty, to require all
persons who may have filed afdavits that they
were not in possession of $500 income for
1852 and 1863-vhere he snpposes the state
ment to be fraudulent-tO appear before him
and explain or rectify their returns or afiida-
Wits. -. -..t -... -.. - .r~' FISK
It Is reasonable that persons whose family
excuses were over 81, 900 per year must have
taxable income, and yet it is known that
persons who have lived at . rate requiring an
expenditure of from $4,000 to $4,000, have
made afidavits that their incomes did not
amount to 5000 per year in the years referred
to. AL such returns are presumptativeiY er-
roneous and In many instances are probably
fraudulent. --a .'- b.
Other persons engaged in trade of various
kinds have assumed their income to have been
some certain sum, without taking an inventory.
Otheis have made greater reduction than
Is allowed by law, such as expenses for labor,
machinery and buildings. Where such re-
turns are made under circumstances which
show that there was deliberate intent
to mislead the assessor, or evade the payment
of this proper tax, they ought to be re-assessed
by the assessor. For though mere mistaken
return after it has been examined and that tax
paid, may not be re-examined, any fraudulant
return may be impaired into at any time. Nc
man can benefit by his own wrong, and no time
can cure what Is void or voidable by reason ol
fraud. Where taxpayer comes forward and
makes voluntary amendment of his form
er return, with the statement that he made
an improper return under an honest mis-
apprehension of the law, and you are cat
isfied that he was not melted to this course
by fear of detection, you can receive hi
return, If You are fully satisfied Of its correct
ness, without the addition of any penalty. Blu,
when, upon investigation, you find person
clearly guilty of having purposely made shor
returns, you should. if the return was made
since July, 1864, assess the one hundred pei
cent. penalty for fraud, and In addition should
report the case to the Collector for such actor
as he deems fit. Very respectfully,
JOSEPH LEWIS. Commissioner.

they particularly wanted apother speech,
to procure copy of Noah Webster's WORK,

reading. He had nothing more to say. he
was glad to receive the attentions OF the
people, for he took it as an indication OF the
interest they felt in the Western army,
which was the greatest in the world. That
army had gone home, butit could belgot

The Question Must be Met.

The Sandusky Register is tor meeting the
question of Negro Suffrage now. 1t in
sists that the question must be met now.
This is the way in which it talks on the
subject:
"The question must be met, and 1t is idle
to talk of giving suffrage to the negro in
the random way in which sentiment upon
that subject has hitherto been declared.
That the State Convention of Ohio should
ignore it, is no reason in our mind that it
should not be discussed, and while we ac-
auiesce in the opinions and counsel of that
BODY. at the same time we believe large
majority of the electors of the State are in
favor of meeting the question OF Negro
Suffrage now. Its necessity will never be
more apparent. The question must be met,
and there must be definite and practical
shape given to the issue upon it. True, an
election in Ohio carried upon this issue,
would have no practical effect except its
influence, and in reality there Is but one
practical way of reaching it, and that is In
the form of an amendment to the National
Constitution, to define the suffrage in rela-
ton to national officers-to prescribe the
qualification of voters tor PRESIDENTIAL
electors and Representatives in Congress,
and to make the qualification general, abol-
ishing all distinction of color. We have
frequently given the views of leading CO.
temporaries, whose whole efforts seem to
tend to an intellectual basis, but while in
telligent men are discussing the question
inteiligently, they should remember, that
ignorancei is not confined to the colored race
alone" ,.... .-r.J ....i
