Revenue Decisions.

The Commissioner o. Internal Revenue decides
that persons having license as dealers are allowed
TO employ men to purchase produce without
licence as produce brokers, provided such en-
ployers are paid fixed salaries, and not by COM
mission, and act for person or arm only But
il 9 produce merchant employs men to buy grain,
&c, on the street. or travelling about the country,
such employers are required to have additional
lcence in their own pames II produce broker
hass Fixed place of business and q lcenss
therefor, he may hire men to buy or sell At that
place without additional license being required.
He has also decided that the tax on wire,
whether made of IRON Steel brass copper. is i've
per cent ad valorem,as manufacture not other
wise provided for. There is, however, in the 10th
section OF the new law, . provision exempting
wire made from wire less than No. 20, upon which
tax has been assessed and paid wire, and also
provision that no manufactured wire shall pay
greater tax than that imposed on No. 20 wire
guage. When wire less than No. 20 which .
tax Of five per cent adv alorem has been paid, ID
drawn to = greater degree of hness no additional
tax 10 imposed thereon. Wire, however, on which

The season is SO far advanced that the probable
yield of the new crops can be estmated with
tolerable accuracy. In England, although the
weather has been chnngeable, some progress has
been made in gathering wheat. The Mercantile
Gazette Of the 18th inst. SAYS:
As whole, the supply, chiefly from Essex and
Kent, has shown deficiency, both in strength and
color, compared with the two previous years; and
we believe that the growth in the above counties
will fall short of last season, the heaviest wbeats
yet brought forward Weighing under so lbs per
bushel. The accounts from the Southern and
Western counties rather more favorable; but il
is generally understood that, owing to tho small
ness of the ears, the growth will not exceed m
average. In the Midland and Northern Districts,
including Lincolnshire, from which county some
very good whitewheats have been disposed of in
London the wheat crop promises to turn out quite
equal to 1864, From Ireland and Scotland but
few complaints have reached in reference to any
kind Of produce. We presume, therefore, there il
nothing to spprehend on the score OF deficiency.
The quantity Of barley produced throughout Eng
land is quite equal to the most favored eeason.
In the South of FRANCE nearly tho whole Of Il Z
crops have been secured in excellent condition. Ii
stated, however, that the quantity Of wheat pro-
duced exhibits a considerable falling Oh when
| compared with last year. To uaact the assumed
deficiency, large orders have boon recently for
warded to the various Black Sca ports for imme-
diate shipment. Any deficiency in France il likely
to be made up from the crops in Spain, Italy, Ger
many, Russia, Holland and Belgium, which
promise TO exceed an average, and prices every
| whore Indicate fair abundance

ofaee, citizen Of TIE SsAts aAd for tie rsqni-
site number Of ysas c;tiaens Of the United
states. This would let in and make loyal tn.
ness vioasut rebels. Mr.. Wilson Sid if he
was elected they shouldn't come in With his
vote; . sentiment heartily cheered by the
crowd. Mr.. Johnson's policy was democrat
ising 70 the South politically. He showed By
searching review Of the Aenphis and New
Orleans riots the demoralizing results Of my
Policy morally. He would rather trust
black Union supporters than white Union
destroyers;Father be saved by negro than
killed BY rebel. This sentiment evoked
immense applause.
He made scathing review Of the means
by which Andrew johnson & Co., with the
bread and butter which they gotfrom the Union
party, attempted to sell out and buy up
the party of loyalty. He examined at length
the declaration of principles adopted atPhila>
delpha, and showed that its provisions made
void al! the national legislation of the past
five years would re establish slavery; and
compensate for loss of slaves. He showed
that the seeded States were not out Of the
Union territorially or municipality, but by
disabilities contracted by the crime of treas
on, which forfeited life and we have right to
exact penalty and claim, safety and security
for the future.
Then he discussed ably the Congressional
| amendments to the Constitution.
| He considered the subject of soldiers boun-
| ty and the increased pay of Congress, to
which subject we shall hereafter devote q
separate article.
/ He then referred to the truly loyal Conven>
ton which met at Philadelphia Yesterday, and
closed with an eloquent and thrilling appeal
to loyal men to stand by Congress- Union
men in the South, loyalty and liberty. Hi,
address was one of the ablest ever listened te
BY a Keokuk audience. He was loudly
cheered throughout, and at the conclusion o.
the speech.
j. 7. Reid was Chairman of the meeting.
When Mr.. Wilson had ended, Col. Leigh
ton was called for and responded briefly
happily, earnestly and eloquently, as is hi
wont. We are sorry we cannot notice j
further.
The meeting was grand one; the speech
one of SURPRISING power, and the whole af
fair and earnest of success; prophecy o
the unAnimity with which the people viii
rally to Mr.. Wilson'S support
