The New Tax bill.

The tax bill, passed by both Houses of
Congress, contains the following features:-
On all incomes exceeding 5000 tax Of 5
per cent; on all over $4,000 a tax of 10 per
cent. The tax on cigars is fixed at $40 per
1000 without regard to price or quality,
instead of so much per pound. On all
tobacco manufactured purely from the leaf
a tax of 40 cents per pound; on smoking
tobacco 40 cents; and on tobacco manufac
tured from stems, ETC.. 35 cents per pound.
After july 1866, there is levied tax Of 10
per cent. on all State Bank circu alton: and
from the first of next May Savings Banks
arc taxed one-half of one per cent. on their
deposits. On petroleum the tax was finally
fixed at 81 per barrel of 80 gallons No
drawback is allowed when petroleum is ex-
ported. In the Oath section of the old
Revenue law, an increased tax of 25 per
cent is levied on every article of the schedule
named therein. This includes all kinds of
manufactures, and the old law, with this %
per cent. added, will be the new standard
of taxation. The stamp tax is so amended
as to make every written instrument void
without It's proper stamp The following
failed to become incorporated in the new
law, being lost by a wide disagreement of
the two Houses-viz: tax of one half per
pent. on sales. The tax on cotton was
stricken out. In this the Senate refused to
concur, unless drawbacks were given on
manufactured articles. Both houses agreed
to the appointment Of Commissioners to sit
during the recess TO examine into The sub.
ject Of taxation.

OUR Ok GoRED.-The Sac. Union is quite
indignant that some 45O of the soldiers from
Camp Union voted at the charter election in
that city on Tuesday-thereby contributing
materially to the victory Of the "Boys"-
and hopes they will "soon have an opportu>
nly to do something to preserve the old
flag more worthy Of their profession, and
more honorable 10 themselves than inter.
tering with tue local government Of a city of
which not one,tehlh are residents, and in
which very few of them are legally entitled
to vote"
It was all right when Massachusetts, regi
ments were transferred from one polling
place to another, last year in Indiana, voting
ad lbitum, and BY force aud fraud defeating
the real expression of the people Of that
State-but it is q grievous wrong that SOL
ders in Sacramento should vote once and
help squelch the ticket of the boilers from
the Union party.
The Uuion is right in its objection, but
very inconsistent. They could see their
neighbor's OK gored, but it is cruel to have
their own similarly punished.

DIRECT TRADE WITH EUROpE.

The marked success which has attended
the commencement made at this port of
direct trade abroad, offers the strongest in
ducements-we should think-to extend ope-
rations by providing additional and larger
steamers: so as to have more frequent com
munication. and TO insure the taking of all the
freight offered. From an item given in late
number of the Norfolk Firginid,,, it is pretty
plain that somebody proposes to supplement
or rather "aank'' our line, and ii is worth
while to inquire tn erefore whether in this re-
gard, our interests in the trade of the States
adjoining us, South, should he permitted TO
be anticipated when, by little more enter
prize, it might be secured to this locality. Let
those interested make note of the following
from the paper already alluded 10:
I'VE are informed that the first steamer of
"a European line is expected here about The
middle of next month, to ply between this
port and some foreign point, and that an
esteemed citizen of this city is to be the agent
''here Of the contemplated line. If this be
''true ii will be the Inauguration Of a new
''era in our commerce-and opens oppor-
''tunely as our roads and other arms reaching
Unto the interior will be soon completed and
lin readiness to bring the produce to our har-
.'bor. 1t is said there is large stock OF cot
ton in Memphis which will no doubt find its
way to our market by this route.
