Panic Among the Dressma'
kers,

The recent ruling of certain clauses
of the Internal Revenue Laws, and the
determination to abide strictly by the
construction put upon them by those
legally entitled to enforce such claims,
has spread CONSERVATION throughout the
ranks of the milliners and GreSsmakers
in the city and country.
1t is known that tax OF SIX per
cent, is levied upon all manufactured
articles, but it has not been generally
understood to what extent this would
bear upon the dressmaking and clothing
interest generally. Not only six per
cent charged upon the receipts OF dress.
maker and milhner for their labor, but
upon the cost Of ali the materials that
pass through their hands. Thus, for
instance, the value Of rich dress may
range from one to five hundred dollars
but out Of this the charge tor making Is
only twenty or thirty; the dressmaker
however, is not only charged with a tax
OF six per cent, upon her labor, but up
on the entire value of the material which
has already, in the hands Of the dry
goods merchant, paid foreign or do
mestic duty.
This is not only severe and oppres
sive, but it is destructive to the entire
trade interest, Ladies will not have t
pay so heavy tax, dressmakers canno
exact it, us in many instances it out
weighs not only their profits, but th'
whole cost of making, and rather thai
submitto such extortion, ladies will hav
their dresses made at home.

THE MISUNDERSTANDING last sum-
mcr We had frequent occasion to notice
the progress of a railroad survey from
the mouth of Bennet's Branch, on the
Sinnemahoning. at the Drftwood Sta
ton, on the Philadelphia & Erie Rail
road, to Franklin on the Allegheny
River. then to connect with the Lake
Shore Branch to Franklin, on the At.
lantic & Great Western. That survey
las been finished and the route has
proved to be entirely satisfactory. The
gradients do not exceed in any place ~
feet per mile, or the curves 6 degrees.
As soon as the report comes to hand we
will lay it before our readers.
During the past week two corps Of
engineers arrived in town and both par
ties commenced work on last Wednes-
day. The corps under Mr.. NJ Minn to
to locate the preliminary survey of last
summer, and he Immediately proceeded
locate, break ground, and formally take
possession of the line. The other corps
under Col. p. Jarret, proceeded in the
same direction, to make a preliminary
survey on the same ground passed over
by Mr.. MMiun. Both parties seem
10 entertain the most friendly relations
towards each other, and no difference Of
opinion are manifested to the uninitiated.
Rumor, however, says, the first party is
under the direction of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, but this we are au,
thorized to contradict The Bennett
Branch and Franklin survey, made last
summer, was an independent arrange
rnens, and was made in good faith, with
determination TO Immediately proceed
to its construction. The corps under
Col. jarrett is making a survey for the
Central Western r. r. Co.. link Of the
Atlantic & Great Western r. r.. Co.
We do not know what will be the re
suit of these two surveys, but hope there
will be no conflicting interest, and that
We will get railroad in the quickest
possible time. We extend a hearty
welcome to the different corps, and hope
as we believe, first rate route is before
them, and they will find no difficulties
in their route.
