To Tax PAYERS.

The Comptroller General has issued his
construction of the Act Of the Legislature
"to raise supplies )" from which we copy us
follows:
"The tax on spirituous liquors brought into
this State must be levied on all such liquors
brought iii at any time between the 1st Octo-
Der, 1864, and the. 1st October, 1861
This is distinct tax, and is to be paid by
the importer; if the same liquor is SOLD by
him with his general stock of goods, wares and
merchandise, the amount of such sales is not
to be included in the general return of goods,
wares and merchandise" If liquors are pur-
chased here aud sold with general stock
then, such sales are to be included with and
reported to the Collector on the general re
turn Of goods" &C.. made from 1st May, 1865,
to lst January, 1866.
In collecting the tax on the sales of cor
ton made from lst May to 1st October 1865
the Collector should look in general to the
party who actually makes the sale; but, on n
past transaction, if it is made plain that the
seller was but an agent, and the owner who is
benefited by the sale is pointed out, and is
within the State, the tax should be collected
from the owner"
spirits of turpentinc and rosin, should be paid
to the Collector of the District where the prop
orty was located on lst October, 1865"
"Thc capitation tax on male residents, ap-
plies both to white residents and to freed
men"
I" The exemption from tax of lands aud Of
lots and Buildings in cities, towns, &c, tha.
have been in possession of the Frccdmen's
Bureau during the year, is construed to refer
to such lands, lots, &C., as we're in possession
Of the said Bureau during the greater part of
the year."
Real estate that was in possession of the
Frccdmens Bureau the "greatcr part of the
year." should be referred to the Tax Collect
or, accompanied by evidence of that fact, as it
will otherwise appear. when his books are
closed, upon the list of property not returned"

" Equality"

The Washington correspondent of the IN.
Y News" speaking of the (" insofence of the
negroes" at the Federal capitol, says:
"The negroes of Washington have found
out that the time of Congress is almost cxclu-
sively taken up with speeches about them, and
they crowd the ladies galleries of.both Hou-
ses every day, to the exclusion of ladies' TN
less the latter consent to sit behind the impu-
dont blacks. Yesterday they predominatcd
to such an extent as to make it appear that
dark cloud ras. lowering over the House, and
it became 50 dark that it was almost impossi-
bic to see to writc. Mr.. Johnson of Penn,
rose to point Of oracr, and said that the hall
was very dark, particularly in the galleries,
and it ought to be lighted.
When the House adjourns the negroes rush
for the street cars, aud monopolze all the
seats 1t is an everyday occurrence to see
half a dozen ladies standing the whole distance
in these cars, while as many negroes are com
foraby spread out on the cushioned seats
The negroes enjoy this above all things It
is thus that they assert the " equality" which
they here enjoy.

The views of the Internal Revenue Com
mission, which was constituted by the Score
taly Of the Treasury, are that a sum be raised
by taxes to meet the interest on the public
debt, to support the Government, and to afford
small sinking fund for the gradual reduction
Of the debt. The sum necessary for all the
above objects they assume to be about $780,

The latest congressional proceedings arc up
to the 3lst ult. On that day, Mr. STEVENS,
fromthe committee on Reconstruction, reported
back the constitutional amendment in relation
to taxation and representation, and reported
adversely to striking out the direct taxation
feature. Mr.. Stevens made speech, au-
ding to tho Prosid lent in oauetic terms fstating
that he had violated the privileges of the
House, by making commands whilst it was
engaged i'll the consideration of an important
question, and that such an act would, ccntu-
RIGS ago, have cost a British king his head,
but that we are tolerant of usurpation. At
the conclusion Of his remarks, the vote was
taken, and the constitutional amendment
passed
The Senate is a. thoroughly radical as the
House. What hope there is for US. from
Congress, can be as readily discerncd by the
reader, as could be stated by us.

Tho Messrs. WILLIAMS, who were stated

tanned, by the payment of a sum of money by
these gentlemen, rather than be committed for

without admitting the justice or proprlety Of

Tobacco.

We published a communication last week
on the initiatory steps to be taken to make a
crop of tobacco. Tobacco, like cotton, is a
staple of the South, and is used in large quan-
titles by the inhabitants of the world general.
ly In this section, q crop tobacco is moro
certain, with a more profitable yield, than cot
ton. Therefore, it is to the interest of the
people to plant largely Of. the weed A mar
kct may be found for it in every cline. True,
tits heavily taxed, but the consumer bears that
burden
Many years ago, tobacco was largely plan
ted here, and successfully prepared for mar
ket. Unlike their descendants, the producers
of that period had no railroads but, never
thcless, found 'mcans of getting their surplus
to market. Tobacco was put up in hogsheads,
which were rallied to Charleston The con
trivancc for this purpose was simple and cheap,
as related to us by those who engaged in the
business: Large wooden rounds, like wagon
fclloes, were securely tasted around each end
of the hogshead. A frame was attached there
to, into which tongue was inserted 4 team
Of two horses was necessary to draw or roll
the hogshcad> The trip to Charleston and
