perhaps, more satisfactory than those of most
other parts of the law, yet evasion and viola
tions are frequent and though tho amount
lost TO the revenue may be small in the indi
vidual instances, it is large ia the aggregate.
Without asserting that greater vigilance than
that heretofore exercised may not secure .
more perfect enforcement Of the statute, it is
y4 MfectosAy ta& ,ths Eisk sf detsotao9 and
punishment under the existing system, with
ahe precise phnseology of the law, in respect
to violation and punishment as it is, must al
ways remain so small as to afford too much
inducements for its evasion.
Were it not for the ineonr enience the
change might inf1ict upon thinly settled dis
tricts, it would be wise, it seems to me, TO
dispone entirely with adhesive stamps, as
has been done elsewhere, and substitute
stamped parchment or paper, the use of
which is its cancellation. Frauds would di-
minish, but fear the advantage to the reve.
nue. would hardly Justify the burden upon the
public. Penalty Is provided for issuing un-
stamped instruments only where there is in
tent to evade the provisions Of the law. The
instrument itself may be invalid, but there is
no punishment Of the party who makes or is
sues it.
Some Of the courts have held the Govern
ment to the proof Of fraudulent intention,
and thus practically stayed proceedings for
neglect to affix or cancel the requisite
stamps.
Sufficient time should, undoubtedly, be
given the public, whose attention is not spe
cially directed to its obligation in this partic
ular, but as the law has been SO long in ope
ration, it is question worthy of
consideration whether or not reasonable
penalty for simple neglect would be oppress-
i've, as it certainly seems necessary.

The receipts from licenses, like those from
income and schedule A, are almost entirely in
the report of the year subsequent to their as
sessment. The reassessment under the act Of
June. 1864, furnishes the principal exception
to this rule. The returns are received in
May, but the lists upon which they are entered
by the assessors do not ordinarily reach the
collectors until after the Goth Of June or the
beginning of another fiscal year. The in

INCOME.

20, $3.50
This. with licenses and schedule A, makes
up the annual list.
For the reason just given above, the tax
upon the income Of 1862. assessed in 1868, Is
mainly included in the receipts Of the fiscal
year 1864, less than half million of dollars
having been collected in 1868 and the re-
ceipts for 1866 consist almost entirely of the
tax assessed III 1864 upon the income Of
1863.
Most of the tax upon the income of 1864
has been collected since the commencement
ofthe current fiscal year 1866, and will appear
in the next annual report from this Office. A
small part of il is found in the receipts Of
1865.

were all from taxes upon the income of 1854
1t cannot easily be determined precisely how
much of the receipts at FIVE per cent are due
to that year.

THE SOUTH.

We gave yesterday some extracts from
Southern papers showing the ideas that con-
troll in Dixie. From sundry sources we gather
the following additional items:
The Mobile Tribune thus resignedly COM
ments upon the Presidents Proclamation
for the recent National Thanksgiving
Tomorrow, according to the recommenda-
tion of the President, is TO be observed as a
day of Thanksgiving. OF course we shall OBJ
serve it, and accordingly. shall print no paper
on Friday.
But Confederate might make a protest
against this giving thanks for what be did
consider a great calamity. Time, however
NAV tmake all things even. and perhaps the
thanks may be given more heartily two or
three years hence, when we may be able to
see that We have lost no rights, no manhood
and no material prosperity-but. rather, have
gained in each. t
tits probable that the President did not in
tend this thanksgiving day for the uses of the
late Confederate States-that it was only in
tended for the States that were loyal to the
Government. Butno distiction has been made
in this respect; and thus we shall feel it duty
to assume that there was none intended. Let
us thank God that we are no worse off than
we are, and earnestly pray to Him that we
shall be soon allowed to govern ourselves af
ter our own fashion in obedience to the obh-
cations that we have assumed.
