Abolition editors do not like the idea of
the Democrats commemorating the Sth of
January, the anniversary of Jaekson's vic
tory at New Orleans. The opposition to
the Democracy always did dislike the
old hero for the sound drubbing he gave
their friends and allies, the British, revil-
ing him all through his long and brilliant
public life, and seem to have lost none of
their malignity and hatred Of the old hero
by the lapse of years, so they dislike the
idea of the Democrats commemorating that
memorable occasion, when British dis-un-
ionists were taught lesson their sympa-
thizers in this country have never forgot
teni We hope the gathering will he the
largest one had for years OD the Sth of
January,and Democrats everywhere should
celebrate it by festivities, speeches, etc.

DURING the trial of Wire before the
military commission at Washington, SEN
sational story was started that the prison.
er's wife had tried TO administer dose
of poison to him, but had been foiled by a
detective. 1t was asserted that the attempt
was made in the same manner that Arrah-
na-Pogue conveyed information to her
foster brother, by endeayoring to convey to
him ball of strychnine In a kiss. At the
time it was generally believed to be only
an emanation from the prolific brain of the
''divine Stanton y and all sensible persons
supposed it had no other foundation than
that questionable source of veracity. Re-
Gently Mrs. Wire has made an affidavit, in
due legal form, Indignantly denying the
story, and asserting that frequent oppor-
tunities occurred in her private interviews
with her husband for the preparation of
such crime, had she been wicked enough

OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE,

Allegro Stabs Two Police Officers.
We take from the Cincinnati Enquirer OF
Saturday the following account of an af-
fray in that city: r.G M
On Thursday night last an affray took
place in BucktOwn, between negro named
| Lewis Leach and police officers Lewis
Knott and Grogan of that ward. The cir
cumstances of the melee are these: Leach
has for some time past been cohabiting with
a white woman as mistress, named Rosa
Shay, and becoming tired of the "white
trash," he endeavored to "throw her of"
which course of action the degraded ma
tron strongly opposed. Leach then swore
he would kill her if she bothered him,
which led to Rosa procuring a warrant for
the arrest of her sable paramour on a
charge of threatening personal violence.
An attempt was made to take Leach into
custody. but that individual being shrewd
as well as desperate, made his escape. The
officers remained on the qui UiUe for his re-
appearance, and Thursday night were in
formed that their game was in house be-
tween Sixth and Culvert streets, opposite
the negro church. Officers Knott and Lew
Is proceeded to the designated building,
and succeeded in caging their black bird,
but the bird was not willing to remain
captive. He struck right and left, but the
dogberrys held fast to their prey, when
Leach perceived that he was not making
much headway toward release.
He then drew knife and began an on
slaught on Officer Lewis, cutting him Sc
verely under the right eye, the cash ex-
tending distance OF three or four inches,
and may probably result in the loss of that
optic entirely. Officer Grogan at this mo-
ment turned up to the assistance of Officer
Knott, when Leach made a lunge at Gro
gan, cutting him in the temple and in the
hand. Knott, perceiving that it was no
child's play, drew his mace, and with well
directed blow sent Leach to the ground
senseless, after which they conveyed him
to the lcck-up. He was arraigned before
Judge Warren yesterday morning, and held
in heavy bail for his appearance next week.
Grogan's wounds are not serious, but Off
Ger Lewis is confined to his home under
medical treatment

ImternaI Revenue DecisIOn-The
Tax ON all Kinds of Clothing.
The following decision has just been an
nounced:
Treasury DEPARTMENT,
~ OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE.
WASHINGTON, December 2, 1867
Sir:-In answer to your letter of Novem-
Der 18th, in relation to dresses, have to say
that the tax on clothing, or articles OF dress
for the wear of men, women or children, Is
six per cent. dd vdloren', that is, six cents on
a dollar, or six dollars on every 500 OF the
value of the clothing or articles. A gar
ment worth, or which sells for $40, is to be
taxed 60 cents. Ifit sells for $50, the tax is
81 20; if for $40, tax 81 40; and so on. The
tax, In all cases, Is on the value of the gar
ment and not simply on the cost of MAX
ing.
I Whether dressmaker furnishes the ma
terial or makes up material furnished Dy
others the tax is the same, on the entire
value of the articles made. In the latter
case, however the tailor has the right to
collect the tax from the owner of the ma
terial or party for whom he makes the ar
ticles. The law provides the following ex-
emptions:
III. Any dressmaker whose product does
not exceed the rate of 5000 per annum or
$50 per month, and shall be made by her
own labor or by the labor of her family, is
exempt from duty. ,s. s.. -t..s -v .
(2). Any dressmaker exclusively engaged
in manufacturing clothing or articles for
the wear of men, women, or children, to
order, as custom work, and not for sale
generally, who shall make affidavit that the
entire amount other manufactures so made,
does not exceed the sum of 500 per annum,
is exempt from duty. These are the pro-
visions of the law on this subject, and the
officers vf Internal Revenue are bound to
enforce them until altered or repealed by
Congress. On no single subject have more
letters been written to this office than on
that of the liability of tailors, milliners,
dressmakers, &C., and the Commissioner is
well aware that there may be apparent in
equality and cases of real hardship. Fu-
ture legislation will doubtless apply suit
able remedy in all such cases. But while
the law remains as. it now is, the tax must
be assessed substantially as l have indicat-
ed above. .t..

CALICO BALL.

In pursuance Of the notice in the News,
q large number of the ladies met Friday
evening ut Mrs. Hale's, on Telegraph
street. Mrs. Geo. A. Hart beng called TO
the chair, stated the object Of the meeting
to be the adoption of measures for the
removal to California of Mrs. Collins and
children, and for the relief Of other desti-
tute families in Gold Hill. In further
ance of this object the ladies resolved to
give a Calico Ball, to be held on Friday
evening, August 18th, at the Olympic
Hall. A large attendance is expected, as
the object is certainly praiseworthy and
no one who is able should refuse to con-
tribute their mite toward such a cause.
The tickets are placed at the low price of
two dollars and a half, so that they are
within the means of all. A nice supper
will be provided at the Vesey House, for
only one dollar and a half a couple.
The ladies intend to form a permanent
organization for benevolent purposes, as
it has been ascertdined that there are sew
eral cases of sickness and restitution in
our midst, and they confidently hope for
the liberal support Of the citizens Of Gold
Hill in this their enterprise.

STATE FINANCES.

In advance Of the Controllers figures,
it IS not safe to calculate, on IN assump-
ton Of correctness within many thousands,
as to the sum total Of State revenue, this
year. Had times come up lively, to the
degree we all hoped and expected, there
would have been from $780, 900 to $780,
900 State income. How far the tax and
stamp product is to fall short of this
amount may be approximately estimated
probably q $1,000 will constitute. GER
,ainly, as much as the triling discrepancy
between the original Legislative estimate
and the actural realization at the Treas
urer's Office. Some, indeed, last winter
prophesied-and they were business
mel" of acknowledged stanaing-that the
Revenue Bill was IN unnecessary outrage;
as there could not be less than half a mil
lion collected under it. 1t is, even in the
depressed condition of affairs throughout
the State, within our province to announce
that by our provided income current ex-
penses and debts set for cancelling will be
paid off this fall, and a surplus left in the
treasury.

A SHORT SESSION.

The Constitution provides for sixty
days sessions hereafter. There is some
talk of a "short-session issue" at our
Legislative nominations. We understand
that our worthy Governor says that ten
days should conclude the whole term.
We respectfully differ with him, and doubt
the practicability of raising such or is
sue" on resolution or otherwise, in the
nominating conventions. Any way, we
do not believe the pledge could be made
to stick and we really think there is at
least q months hard work in store for our
next assembled Wisdom. Many laws
passed last year need amendment, accord
ing as practical experience has demon
strated; many new laws ore demanded.
This was sagaciously anticipated by
Constitution makers, who, while provid-
ing for biennial sessions generally, stipu-
lated for three succeeding sessions,-to
get affairs all right On the States start in
life. We presume this "short session"
issue will have a certain character of
ardent support. All Legislative observa-
ton announce a half-dozen in every
twenty members who commence their
sitting with Observation-Disclosures or
supported-providing for an early Zine die
adjournment. Those same chaps, when
ever the question comes to a focus, vote
for the longest possible time for official
squat and per diem. And, we may add,
these are they who are generally the mos,
worthless of representatives. 1t is natural
that silly Buncombites at the beginning
should be poor timber for working all
the Legislature through. Let US talk Of
the laws we need, of the amendatory acts
demanded, by the trial of the new emer-
Senc,es of the year. Do not let us ask
of Assembly candidates an absurd agree
ment. A ten days session would amount
to no session at all. 1t would be ten days
Legislative expense utterly thrown away.
And, by and by, we fancy there can be
exhibited to this people the advisability
and necessity for the adoption of q certain
plan for our domestic prosperity (if not
immediate salvaeon) which will require a
separate and exclusive ten days worth of
time, in all, for consideration and passage.
In the mean time, let us repeat here {:
Register. This is n week of citizen grace.
