The Income Tax.

In order that our readers may be correctly ad-
vised Of requirements made upon them by the In
ternal Revenue law, in relation to incomes We
lay before them to-day the following valuable and
pertinent condensation of law which affects
alike all who are in receipt of incomes, North or
South
1T should be remembered by tax payers that
the LIST of May was the time fixed by the Internal
Revenue law for the return of schedules OF incomes
to the Assistant Assessors. The amended law OF
March 3, 1865, is still in force, and it is officially
announced that the assessment of this year will be
made in accordance with its provisions, regard
less of any action of Congress on the new tax bill
just reported to the House. The Senate refuses
to concur in the House resolution providing
for an extension of time for two months, IN
order to permit the new law to 60 into
effect. Tax payers, therefore, were required

banks depostng them be inadequate to the redemption
of the notes of the bank by of the decline OF the

the bank making such failure? answer, On the

You ask fourth Are the notes of the United States

The Raleigh Progress.
orphans.

The Raleigh Progress of the 18th inst. contains
the valedictory of Mr.. j. L. Pennington and the
salutatory of Messrs. Henry E. Orr and J. j. Guth-
RE, il. who succeed him as Editors and Proprie-
tors of that paper.
We have long regarded the Progress one of
the best newspapers in the State but its influence
was injured by the radicalism of Mr.. Pennington,
who was one of those Editors in this State who
fired the Southern heart" donned the Confed-
crate gray and remained in service as long as it
was not dangerous, and Immediately after the sur
render, begun to denounce rebels and traitors
with all the nonchalance and interested eagerness
of newborn 'loyalty"
Its editors are men of entirely different
character and We have frequently been assured
that the Progress owed much of its freshness and
vigor to the intelligent labors of Capt. 81. E. Orr,
who has now become its senior editor, and who
has been editorially connected with the paper
since the surrender of Gen. Lee of whose army
he efficient officer.
Mr.. Guthrie; is the son of Capt j. j. Guthrie
well and favorable known to our people as gal
liant and useful officer of the Confederate Navy
We extend to these gentlemen our best wishe
for their success, and have no doubt, that unde
their management the Progress will deservedly be
come one of the most popular dalies in the State

The Burning of Columbia.

The Columbia Is. c. correspondent of the
New York Post forwards an affidavit made by
VIM. B. Nash, setting forth that he saw the
South Carolina depot building burning before
General Sherman's army entered the city. He
also saw cotton burning, and corpses of per-
sons killed by explosions at the depot"
Commenting on this act of a nameless scribbler,
and this affidavit of an unknown person, to con-
trovert the statements of Wade Hampton, the
New York Ne,cs says that there is not in all
America intelligent and unprejudiced man or
woman who will not believe Wade Hampton s
declaration, whatever it may be, though it should
be controverted by the statement of every
pensioner of the Freedmens Bureau, and con-
frmed by the endorsement of every radical in
America

duct themselves peaceably.
DIR. j. w. GreenhOw.

We are panied to learn of the death of Dr. J..
W. Greenhow, which occurred at Chapel Hill on
the night of the 18th instant. The Doctor has
been in wretched health for several months, and
the announcement of his death is hardly unex-
pected.
Dr.. Greenhow was Surgeon in the United
States Navy, but resigned his commission upon
the secession Of the South, and allied his fortunes
with his section, receiving similar position in the
Confederate Navy. He was stationed at this port
during the wal, and by his efficiency and urban
ity, attached himself very closely to many of our
citizens. Those of our people who were in the
city during the prevalence of the terrible cpl
demic of 1862, which decimated our remaining
population, will never forget the unceasing and
skillful labors of Dr. Greenhow. Not few of
our citizens are now in the enjoyment of full
health and vigor, who, under the providence of
God, owe it to the untiring attention of him
whose exhaustive labors then have proved too
much for his not very strong constitution.
He leaves family, who were entirely Deepen
dent upon him. May He who tempers the wind
to the shorn lamb, provide for the widow and the
orphans

to furnish their schedules to the Assistant Asses
sors in their respective districts before May
first. The Assessor is under no legal oblga-
ton to send blank forms he may do SO as an act
of courtesy, but it is the business of tax payers to
find his Office, obtain the blanks, fill them up and
return them In case of neglect or refusal, the
Assessors are empowered to make the return and
to add a penalty of twenty-five per cent, or, in
case of fraud, to add one hundred per cent to the
amount ascertained to be due.
"The duties on incomes are payable within
sixty days after the return of the schedule to the
June. The income must be reckoned for the
per cent. on all sums between $500 and SIS ,OOO
and 10 per cent. on the excess over So, 900. The
deductions permitted are l. The sum of $500

and municipal taxes paid within the year Gn-
Guiding the income tax paid last summer; 3. The
amount paid for rent, or the rental value of any
homestead occupied by the taxpayer or his

4; The amount paid for usual or ordinary repairs,

These are all the deductions that can be made
''The income tax is a lien upon property If not
paid within the time fixed by law, and the col
lectors are invested with 1ull powers to take le-
gal proceedings for distraint and collection. The
proper observance of the time and manner OF
payment will therefore save the taxpayer much
trouble"

Post 1t is we'll for people to note that if their
income tax is not paid within the time fixed by
law the Collectors are invested with full powers

The Riots at the South.

That very consistent Republican journal, the
New York Ecening Post, devotes article to O
yindication of the great mass of the Southern PEG
pie from the responsibility for the exceptional
cases of wrong and violence which sometimes oc,
cur within cur limits. It reminds its readers that
the destruction of colored churches in Memphis
had its parallel in the destruction of the Colored
Orphan Asylum in New York, and that 1t is no
more an argument against the Southern States
than the New York riot was against the Northern
States. 1t also quotes the unanimous condemns
ton of such conduct by the Memphis papers. Inc
Post then refers to the legislation in the South for
the protection of the colored race to the fact
that in any prominent city in the Southern States,
outrages upon the colored people are made pub
lie and freely condemned, and that in some parts
of the South the white citizens are beginning to
support and encourage colored schools.
The paper in question disclaims any intention
to palliate riotous and lawless conduct; but does
not think it either fair or wise that the whole
Southern people should be held responsible IN
Northern presses for such occurrences; and es-
pecialIy deprecates the handle made of the Mem
phs riot, by the Republican press, as another
proof of the unftness of the Southern people to
take part in the Government, and of their invet-
eraIS JlISGICe, A-o
kind of argument and insinuation, says the Post,
is of piece with the petty spirit which finds fault
with Southern men for honoring their dead. In
reply to the criticisms of the press upon what they
sneeringly designate as GO Richmond loyalty" be-
cause the papers of that city urged the recogni-
ton of the anniversary of the death of SToNEwALL
JACKSON, and the decoration of the graves of the
Confederate soldiers with flowers, asks do they
"expect Richmond to curse or to despise Stone
wall Jackson or the Virginians to dishonor their
own dead, their relatives and friends What is
gained by fault finding in such matters 1t does
not improve the loyalty or increase the good will
of the Southern people. What we have right to
demand is that they shall obey the laws, respect
our rights and those of all men of whatever color,
and conduct themselves peaceably."

The Veto Message.

President Johnson deserves our thanks for again
" seeking to protect, by the veto power, the rights
of the people of this Union against the wicked and
revolutionary acts of few malignant and mis-
chievous men," The veto message which we pub
lish to- day is like the other messages OF ANDREW
JOHNSON clear, calm and fOrcible The object OF
the Radicals in passing the bill to transform the
Territory of Colorado into State is but a con-
tinuance of their display OF utter contempt for the
Constitution in their efforts to control the Gov
eminent, for which end they have already so often
ly shows that Colorado is not in a condition to
ercise the functions of sovereign state with ad
vantage to the people of that Territory, or with
Justice to the country generally.
Possibly this utter recklessness of partizan le
gisation shows the conscious inability OF the
Radicals to control Congress over and above the
Executive veto in other important unconstitu
tional measures contemplated by the disunionists
of that body, in their headlong programme tc
control the next presidential election.
In what striking contrast is this attempt to give
representation to this ''vast wilderness" when
eleven States are denied it. What is most con
elusive" says the National HateNigenc@, is its
striking antagonism to the repulsive and utterly
indefensible idea, that when eleven States, with
from representation in Congress, the trifing pop
ulation of thirty thousand in some other line Of
latitude shall have power in one branch of Con
gress equal to State having three millions OF
white people"

National Banks.

The Comptroller Of the Treasury in reply to in.
terogatories, says: Il consider 'depositing money
by National Banks with private bankers, bearing
interest and payable call, violation of the
twenty-ninth section of the currency act, when
such deposit exceeds one-tenth part Of the capital
of the bank making such deposit We mention
this decision only as matter of general informa
ton. National Banks in this State find other uses
for their money than depositing them with pri
vate banks, and private bankers have as little use
for them.

President Jefferson Davis. It is, says the Rich
mond Times, we believe an exact transcript OF the
form copied from Chitty by Wharton in his " Pre-
cedents of Indictments" and its various important
omissions will strike every lawyer with amaze
ment We cannot think that 1t is the purpose OF
the Government to go to trial upon such an in
dictment =; nor can we believe it was drawn by
eminent counsel and sent to the District Attorney
at Norfolk.

unfortunate and distinguished statesman now con-
