The Sacramento Union of Sept. eth, says'
By telegraph we have Eastern advices 10 Sept
9th. The Vermont State election resulted in
the customary victory of the Union party, the
opposition being exceedingly slim. The Dem
ocratic" State Convention of New York met
at Albany yesterday. Tammapy Hall was
recognized as the regular sanctuary of Demo
cratic" principles in the metropolis, which sig
ni6es that the Ben Wood association of Mo
zart Hall. with its Confederate record, is repu
dated by the State organization. The intel
ligence from the Southern States is not par
ticularly important. General Sheridan ha;
mustered some of his troops out of service, but
still has large force on the Rio Grande aud
distributed through Texas. Robert E. Lee
has accepted the Presidency of Washington
College, Virginia. Among our news will bt
found partial return OF the Kentucky election
proving that large pro-slavery vote wa
polled in spite of the military despotism wbicl
was said to prevail there.

NOTABLE REBELs.-A number of the rebel
agents, such as Geo. n. Sanders and Beverly
Tucker, who made so much noise in Canada,
for a short season. are still living at Montreal.
1t appears that on the night of the 26th of July
sensation of considerable dimensions was
occasioned among them by an alleged attempt
to kidnap Sanders and bring him across the
border to within the limits of the United States,
and it is reported that men having this object
in view were found secreted in Sanders resi-
deuce. Upon their discovery lively struggle
eusued between the masked visitors and some
members OF the family, but the attempt to
secure the person Of George was failure. 1t
is stated that the rebel agents and secesssiouists
in Montreal keep themselves very quiet nova
days, and receive but little attention from the
people. The Importance which attached to
them 10 times past is quite played out.

INTERNAL REyENUE DEcIsIoNs-The Com
missioner of Internal Revenue has made the
following additional rulings:
Section l20 provides that there shall be
levied and collected duty of five per cent. on
all dividends in scrip or money thereafter de-
clared due, aud whenever the same shall be
payable to stockholders, policy holders or de-
positors, as part of the earnings, income or
gains of any bank. trust or company etc.
And further provides that said banks, etc.
shall pay said duty, and are hereby authorized
to deduct and withhold from all payments
made on account of any dividends or sums Of
money that may be due and payable as afore-
said the said duty of five per centum, aud pay
the same TO the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. Under this law it is clear that al
though the surplus from which the divideod is
declared was acquired prior to the passage ot
the Revenue Law, yet If the same is dividend
after the law went into effect, it is taxable
The rule is that the tax must be withheld from
the entire dividend whenever it becomes due
and payable, without regard to the time when
the profits or earnings we're acquired.

The Election in Butte.

The election in Butte on Wednesday last
passed of unusually quiet, and not until a few
days before the election did the contest grow
warm, in consequence that the " People:
Union Ticket as it was termed, was moi
complete as nominated at Fences Ranch, and
the withdrawal Of several of the candidates
from the ticket, placed the Boilers in mud
died position. 1t strangely appeared that the
Boilers labored to secure men who had voted
for the Union party the past four years, and
men that were known to be old line Republl
cans, and several of whom were known to be
10 favor of negro suffrage. A still stranger
feature was that these old line Republicans or
the Boilers ticket subscribed to a resolution
opposed to negro suffrage. This can only be
explained by the fact that they wished to Sc
cure the united Copperhead vote.
The contest on the 9th was Regular Un
ionists against Boilers. Copperheads, Seces
sionists and Sore-heads. Private letters were
written and word sent to every precinct in the
county for the so-called Democracy to swallow
and support The Boilers ticket. for it was their
grand point to destroy the regular Union or.
ganization, and that in consideration of which
the Boilers have pledged themselves to sup
port the SO called Democracy 10 future elec
tions.
The returns from every precinct have been
officially sent to the Clerks Office and will be
canvassed by the Board on Monday next, and
not until then will the election of several can
ddates be known. We fear however we may
have to record the defeat of one or two oil
the best and soundest Union men in Butte
county, on our ticket.
Those safely elected on the Regular Union
ticket is as follows:
J. G. Moore, County Clerk, by about 25O
majority.
Jumes A. Wardwell, Recorder, by about
2s0 majority.
8. Rosenbaum, District Attorney, by l25
majority.
w. P. Tilden and George E. Smith, by
small majorities, are elected as Assembiymen
Coroner Pence and Surveyor Edmunds are
also elected without doubt.
The vote for Senator is so close as to require
official count, yet the friends of Ever claim bis
election by 20 majority.
1t is simply and in short our opinion, if the
figures we have received are correct, that
every candidate on the Regular Union ticket
is elected. with the exception of Sheriff and
Treasurer, and if our Sheriff is defeated it will
be only by from FIVE to ten votes
Throughout the county, with the exception
of two or three precincts, the vote has fallen
off from last year, and we are well satisfied il
every Union voter had turned out to the polls
the entire Union ticket would have been eIec.
ted by majorities ranging from one 10 three
hundred votes. We most sincerely regret the
neglect of Union men to turn out on this par
ticular occasion, and trust it will be strong
and impressive warning for them to do their
whole duty in future elections.

THE Sacramento Union of the 9TH has the
of county officers, members of the Legislature,
Supervisors, Constables, ETC., took place yes
terday. The political events of the past two
or three months tended to make the contest an
exciting one. The pending U. S. Senatorial
election; the division 10 the Union party and
the nomination of two ticket the nomination
of the Democratic ticket the fusion of that
with the Short Union ticket and the general
confusion and complication of all tickets. all
parties and all factions, were features Of the
election not incident TO an ordinary political
contest. Three complete tickets. as is known,
had been placed in the field: the Regular
Union ticket, nominated at Turn Verciu Hall;
the Independent Union ticket, nominated at
the Assembly Chamber and the regular
Democratic ticket, nominated at the Sacra-
mento Theater. For three or four days prior
to the election well-founded rumors were in
circulation to the effect that negotiations were
progressing between the Independent or Short
Fair Union party and the Democrats for a
fusion on one ticket. This combination was
completed by Tuesday evening, on the basis of
substituting on the Short Hair ticket. from the
Democratic ticket, the names of Lansing for
Sheriff, in place of Rooney Goods for Dis
trict Attorney, 10 place of Taylor; Brown for
Treasurer in place of Lardner and Counts
for Coroner. in place of Reeves. In accord
ance with this combination, two tickets, in
form, were worked through the day, contain
ing precisely the same names from beginning
to end, but headed differently. This ticket, in
the hands of the Democrats, was headed
d" Democratic White Mans Ticket The Con
stitution Reduce Taxation; Free Mines"
The same ticket, in the hands of the Shorts.
was headed The Union Forever Regular
Union Ticket" The contest of the day was
therefore between this Fusion ticket, as ANAL
gamated by the miscegenationists, and the reg
ular Union ticket, as nominated at Turn
Verein Hall, which was beaded, Union and
Liberty; Regular Union Ticket" There were
FIVE or six other tickets in the field, varying
the combination to suit the interests of indi-
vidual candidates.
