WASHINGTON. Nov. s6.
Certain heavy dealers In soda water addressed the
Commissioner Of internal Revenue, asking 10 be
relieved from the payment Of tix per cent tar on
their sacs, and ihat the snus already paid BY them
under Instructions heretofore glsen to revenue
officers be refunded. Tne.e dealers object to pay-
Ing tag upon their sales Of soda water from the
fountain, On The ground thst they do not charge
the fountain with carbon1c add gas, which they
contend Is the manufacture Of soda wafer. They
purchase fountains charged, Or pay man tor
charging them. and they claim, therefore, that as
the Law requires the Tx to be paid By The manntac
turef or producer. they cannot legally be called
upon to make returns and pay ta1. Commissioner
Kolns decides that the peculiar phase Of the law
clearly Indicates the intention Of Congress to impose
an AZ tolor1n tax on the Gales from the fountain,
and that be can zee no good reasons for reversing
tho previous deeis1pn Of The Commissioners. under

SION MOVEMENT.

The Richmond correspondent of the New
York Tribune in his letter oft 9Th instant,
says:
Every one is anx:ously awaiting the ad-
vent of tho new State Government and the
resumption Of law in the Old Dominion
The hope is very generally expressed that
John Minor Bolts may be called upon 10 act
in some capacity in establishing the new
status, and his once spurned and disregarded
counsel, will, it is believed, 10 very far to-
ward harmon zing the ie slings of the people.
Ths fact mayinot De generally known tnat Mr..
Bolts, over year alo, had prepared for pub
lication book, reviewing the pro. rsss Of Re-
bellion from 1882, and embracing 40 account
of the disbolical schemes of intriguing poll
ticians both North and South, which re-
suited In the great contest just past. From
intimations of the character of the work it
Is one which will not only prove highly in
teresting, but one which will astound and
startle the civilized world, exhibiting as II
will the selfish depraviiy of many living and
distinguished politicians. 1he publication
of the work was deferred by Mr.. Bolts until
the termination of the war, and there can
now be 10 reason why it should be longer
delayed. And while speaking of the book,
an incident in connection with it will not be
inappropriate d
Prior to the second arrest of Mr.. b. by
the Rebel authorities here, he had taken
