The Secretary of the Treasury, in his let
ter enclosing the above facts, says
| avail myself of this occasion to express
an opinion based upon my observations of
the operations of the law, that an addi-
tiOnal enactment authorizing the assump-
ton by the States respectively Of the re-
mainder of the direct tax due from each
would, in view of the present Impoverished
condition of their people, prevent much
hardship in individual cases and save from
practical confscatiOn the property of many
persons against whom the Government has
has no ground of complaint while no pub
lie interest would be injuriously affected
Should this policy be adopted the collec-
tion Of taxes under the present system
might and ought TO be discontinued until
an opportunity for assumption be offered.
Whether the amount realized from resales
| of property bid in for the government
should or should not be allowed to States
respectively in computing taxes still due, is
question well deserving of consideration,
which l submit without comment The re-
ceipts on account of Internal Revenue for
| the present year up to the 18th inst, is $780,
| 0ls, ,436, leaving less than one million to
complete $500, 900 900, the estimate made at
the Bureau Of Internal Revenue It is now
believed that the receipts of the fiscal year
ending with the 3Oth Of this month, will
amount 10 $500, 5000, 900 from taxes for in
ternal revenue alone.
THE LATE DISTURBANCE AT GoLDsBoRO.
The Freedmen's Bureau has received q
/ communication giving the particulars of
the late disturbance between the whites
and cOlored people of GoldsbOro, N. c.,
from which it appears that it was ccm-
menced by a Commissioner Of the town as
| saulting a cOlored soldier who was
then beaten by a crowd of whites. The
black man was sent TO prison to await the
| August term Of Court, oOlOred testimony
being refused. The eolored people expressed
their indignation at the treatment their
friends received and the police were sent to
| arrest any who were heard to condemn the
action of the authorities. Some refused TO
be arrested, whereupOn one man was shot
and another mortally wounded. The pre-
iudice against the colored men in that por-
ton of North Carolina is represented to be
bitter.
| GENERAL CRTgGO.
Gen. Ortego now in Washington, has is
sued protest against the recent decree of
1 IT65lutub JuhIcA hAIloOAA W VI
| fee, and denOunces the act ss arbitrary, IL
legal and tending TO establish dictatorship
