has made the following decision =
Proprietors of a Pace Course Liable to
License Tax. Where an entrance fee is
demanded of spectators at race course,
the proprietcr should take license under
the second paragraph of article 80, Sec
'tion 70, of the act of June 80. 1864,
The Commissioner has also decided
that, where a person keeps horse, the
use of which is necessary to the prosecu
ton of his business, the expense of keep
ing the horse, including feed, &c, may
be deducted from income. When the
horse is used partly for business produc-
ing income, and partly for pleasure, Sc
much of the expense. for keeping the
horse as is clearly referable to productive
labor may be deducted.

a Funny War Incident.

When Sheridan's soldiers scaled the
rebel works at Fishers Hill, an Irishman
named John Quinlan was in the van, and
instantly sprang astraddle rebel cannon,
shouting, "My gun, I've captured ye, be
jabers % The next moment he rolled off,
clapping his hands to his seat of honor,
and beloved, "Och, howly- mother Of
Moses I! an sure it's red hot!" The gun
had been fired so often, and with such
rapidity, that it had become hot enough
to roast salamander, and Quinlan lost a
patch from the seat of his unmentionables.

A Republican paper in Iowa, after pub
fishing an account of how much the people
of South Carolina have suffered by the war
and that State of course is only type of
the sufferingsof the other late Confederate
States-says, with great humanity, ''these
people have suffered enough" ittlhl %
Wen, this is fact. "These people hare
suffered enough" but the suffering cannot
be measured by the losses of negroes and
Confederate securities. The pangs of feel
ing cannot be- put into any commercial or
treasury account current. The mere dying
worm, as Pope says, may feel pang as
great as the giant, and the noble Southern
woman, with her children, whom she loved
with love passing all understanding,
brought to beggary; this part of the suffer-
ing cannot be reduced TO any arithmetical
rule. 1t is by no possible process, capable
of being represented by figures. ,sa.
But, knowing the difficulty, we. are glad
that our Western contemporary thinks that
there has been suffering enough. We men
of the South have borne, and can still bear
a good deal. Weare sort of philosophers
somewhat like the Spartan youths who
were taught to have their bowels eaten out
If it were necessary to the lessons which
their instructors gave them. 1t is, we con-
fess, not very pleasant operation; but it
may be possible for q true man to endure it
without fiinching.-Mobile (Ald.) Tribune.

The Presidents Message ON the
Mexican Question. a.

"DRUID," under date Washington, Nov.
q, wrote the Ne,o York Necs: r 'ti'
The, public are again tantalized on the
Mexican question, by the statement that
Senior Romero has had long interview
with General Grant, and that the latter re-
peated to Romero what he had Said in New
York. All that amounts to nothing. The
opinions OF General Grant and other army
officers are well known; but, In this case,
they are Of no force or effect whatever.
What the country has got to wait for now
Is, first. the Presidents Message, and, sec
ond, the action of Congress on the subject.
Mr.. Seward lett the White House on Friday
with countenance on which satisfaction
was plainly depicted. The President had
read the principal parts of his Message to
the Cabinet and what he says in that doc
ument on the Mexican question, is what
Mr.. Seward wishes him TO say. The Presi-
dent Is satisfied that Mr.. Seward will man
ner as will vindicate the honor of the nation,
and secure the best interests of both the
American and Mexican people. tits prob
able, therefore, that the Message will con-
tain candid statement OF the existing sit
uation In Mexico, and an explanation of
Napoleon offer to withdraw from Mexico
the French troops, on condition that we
will continue to observe our neutrality
toward Mexico, and will then leave it for
Congress to decide whether it is best, all
things considered, to extend our assistance
to Juarez, or TO continue our present policy.
1t is certain that there will be ne change In
our policy of neutrality until Congress has
decided this point. will only add that
am satisfied, from facts in my possession,
that if Congress deliberately decides to
change our policy, and to attempt to resus-
citate the Mexican Republic, we will find
Macmillan supported by powerful French
France. This fact may be hinted at in the
message, as the Presidents well aware of
the circumstances to which allude. No
man here, who understands the subject,
doubts for moment that Napoleon Is de-
terminedt that the Mexican Empire shall not

The Eight Hour NIOvcment In
COlu mn buns.

By reference to the Resolutions adopted
nv workIngmen Of Columbus, at very
targe meeting on Tuesday night, 1t Will
be seen that they have put the eight hour
bali in motion with considerable force. The
idea that impels them forward In this move
ment, is that they need more time for mem
tai Improvement, recreation and to devote
Co business that pertains to their families,
than they now have. They think that by
the legalization OF eight hours as days
work, such time will be given wherein
they can improve themselves mentally, So
cially and even morally. To this move
ment there can certainly be no reasonable
objection. The condition of the laborine
man and mechanic Is at best sufficiently
hard, and every movement looking to the
improvement of that condition should bt
commended. Mechanics and laboring mer
are the best judges of their own condition
or at least they should be, and if they will
act with some unity, that condition can b
improved. There are other matters, dis
connected from the legalization of eigh
hours as days work, that in an especia
degree concern their welfare, which great
many of them do not realize at present
Doubtless, in due time they will come to
realize H. 't. .' ..

A Pretty Fair View of the Repub.
.1Hf soa licam Party. t. 20

The Neu York Erenfng Post, one OF the
most efficient organs in the Republican
party, on the 9th of November presented
this view of that party:. y -~ ~ -.r
1t is true, the Republican party is some
what chaotic In its composition and creed.
1t has not yet awakened to the Importance
of that mechanism of limited and local gov
ernment, which alone secures and guaran-
tees the liberty of the citizen. There are
leaders in it whose tendencies are toward
the most dangerous concentration of pow
er. who are not emancipated even from the
antiquated eofprOtectionism and pat
ronage. Some, indeed, are aetuated by such
rudimentary notions of what a'democratic
constitution of society requires, that they
do not scruple to maintain that one-third
at least of the people of friendly political
Union ought to be controlled by the sword
orsome other form of fcompulsion, until their
moral conviction shall be proved to be per-
fectIy satisfactory. 1t is not submission to
the laws, but, "a change OF heartn that they
require as the test of Union. Those people
are disaffected, they y,and until their af-
fections are right they are not to be accept
ed bv the nation. But such Is not the p0-
sition of the wholeparty, which is exceed
ingly unsettled in It's policy.

Trade.s Union Mceting!I

The meeting of the Trades Unions OF the
city, at the City Hall last evening, was
largely attended, The organizatienI was
effected by. the appointment of the follow
ing officers: Samuel Bradford, of the Typo
graphical Union, President Nv I'M. Clan
cy, of the same Union; Vice President ;
John Fleming, of the Maohinistsand Black
smiths Union, Secretary, and - Kelly,
of the Moulders' Union, Assistant Secretary.
Mr.. Jonathan @. Fincher, who delivered
an address at the same place on the previ-
Gus evening, was introduced, and proceed
ed to address the meeting. His speech was
interesting, as well as able and argumenta-
tive. The theme was the importance of
Trades Unions, or combined cooperation
of men of the same trade or employment,
treating also of the combination Of these
several Trade Unions in General Unions,
for mutual aid, protection and benefit. Z =
The advantages Of these Unions in pre-
venting workmen from being suddenly
thrown ont Of employment, or being com-
PEELED to labor for starvation prices, and in
tending to educate and develop their other
wise dormant faculties, were elucidated
and dwelt upon with emphasis. The work.
men, the speaker contehded, were not the
only persons benefited by these Unions ;
honest employers, would likewise be pro-
tected and profited by them.a j fsidw i,aA
At the conclusion of his address, Mr..
Fineher made some very handsome pointed
illusions in regard to certain insinuations
that had been thrown out concerning him
self. After stating where Information
might peeasilY Yobtained as to his character
and standing, he remarked in substance,
that If the advice he gave to mechanics and
workipgmen, was good, just and right in
itself, it was no matter from what source 1t
came; it should be followed, for truth and
Justice were the same, come from what
