OFFICE OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE,
Washington May 5, 1866.
Three questions have arisen under the internal
revenue laws respecting the tax upon sales of
stocks, exchange, bullion coined money, bank
notes and other securities, viz;
First Are brokers liable to tax upon the sales
Of their own stocks, ETC., as well as upon those be-
longing to others
Second Are the bankers selling their own
stocks, etc. liable to pay the duties imposed by the
99lh section upon brokers and ba1kers doing bust
ness as brokers' in addition to those imposed upon
them as bankers?
Third Are brokers who sell not only stocks
belonging to themselves, but also those belonging
to others, to be regarded bankers doing business
as brokers, and therefore liable to tax upon their
rates?
The first two questions have recently been con-
sidered by the Supreme Court of the United
States, and it has been decided by them first that
brokers are liable to a tax upon their own stocks
exchange, bullion, coined money, bank notes.
promissory notes and other securities as well as
upon those belonging to Others second, that
bankers doing general business as such, making
returns and paying duties and taxes imposed by
law upon their capital and deposits, who negotiate
and sell government securities as agents of the
government, and who at the same time buy and
sell government securities for themselves and do
not for others or for commission, are not liable
to a tax upon such sales. The third question has
not been directly adjudicated by the court, as it
has not been directly brought before it. 1T has
been the rule of the office, however, that when a
banker is engaged in selling not only his own
Stocks etc.. but also stocks etc. for others for a
commission, he is banker doing business as a
broker and is liable to tax on all his sales, sales
of his own stocks, bonds, government securities,
ETC., included. This seems clearly sustained by
the reasoning of the court in its recent decision,
and will be regarded as the requirement of the
la"' Assessors and their assistants, and collect
ors and their deputies, are hereby instructed to
proceed at once to the assessment and collection
OF such taxes as have accrued upon the sales of
brokers or bankers, and which still remain unas.

that about the time mentioned above the negroes
came out from their shanties on South street and
attacked the whites near Beale, between Causey
and Mulberry, and after fighting about fifteen min
utes the blacks were oVerpowered and driven in
haste to their quarters, There were about
eighteen or twenty of the eombattants. No casu-

MURPHY's HoTEL.- Murphy's Hotel,> as has
already been announced, has been sold to McKenna
& MeCloskey, who have made extensive altera-
tons and improvements, have had every depart
ment thoroughly renovated, and have left nothing
undone to add to the comfort and convenience Of
their guests. This old and favorite house takes
new lease of popularity under its present proprie
tors, and we are very sure that there is no one
who visits it but will come away pleased with his
reception and the entertainment he receives. To
the other attractions of the house there is
a fine ten-pin alley; and altogether, this old

place in popular esteem for many long years to

One of the most daring robberies ever commit
ted in our city took place Sunday night, at the
boarding-house of Mrs. Thompson. The house
was principally occupied by printers, employed
on the Houston Telegraph. The thief, or thieves
entered through window, penetrated into the
their pants from under their heads without waking
one of them-iye in number-and rified the pock-
cts of every cent they contained, amounting to
one hundred and fifty dollars of gold-the fruit of
their careful and laboriOus work. The thief made
his exit unseen and undisturbed.
The persons robbed were all sleeping in the
second story of the house. 1t is believed that the
thief must have been somewhat acquainted with
the premises, but the fact is, we have among us
rascals who are such adopts in their occupation,
that no place seems strong or intricate enough to
debar their explorations.
The printers of the Telegraph Office unanimously
and vigorously express the opinion, that the
william who would steal the hard earnings of
people of their persuasion, deserves to be ham,
stringed without benefit of judge, jury or clergy.

Cotton.

Through gentleman, recently from the South,
70 learn that labor prospects are improving, and
estimates Of the next cotton crop range as high as
2,soo,eoo bales 1t is gratifying to know that the
negroes are, at last going to work but 1t is by no
means pleasant to hear that so large crop is aimed
at, because II cannot DO raised without criminal
neglect Of other crops vitality important to the
Independence and substantial progress OF the people
The basis Of this calculation il the assumption that
the difference 10 the amount Of labor, now availa-
bs, is no, greater than the difference between two
and q half millions, now, and four millions of
bales, the maximum before the war Admitting
the supposition to be true, 1t does not invaldate
our objections, because the same errors in indus
trial economy existed before the war, that we wish
70 obviate nowthat is raising nothing but cotton,
and buying everything except cotton. The four
millions before the war, were worth no more than
the remnant since sent 10 market; and the two
millions and half now estimated, Mill yield less
profit after deducting the consequent decline in
price, and the amount paid for breadstufs, than
you'd one million Of bales, with well filled grain.
