THE DEPARTMENT


The Payment Of the Tax On Cetton
-Imp0rtant Regulations BY the
CommissiOner Of Internal Rev.
enue.
The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
yesterday issued additional regulations con-
cerning the transportation Of cotton in bond,
in which provision is made for the payment
Of tax at the point of shipment instead Of in
sioner was induced to take this action upon
the representation Of cotton growers that
much hardship and Inconvenience is entailed
upon the smaller planters and farmers in the
interior counties Of the cotton-p producing dis
tricts in consequence Of the enforcement Of
recent regulations concerning the removal
Of cotton in bond, and that additional and
much-necded facilities would be afforded by
allowing bonds for securing payment Of the
tax upon delivery Of the cotton at the point
Of destination, to be taken by the collector
Of the receiving district instead Of the col
lector of the district whence the cotton is
shipped, as provided by regulations, series
2, No. 8, issued under date OF July 81, 1866
Under the additional regulations referred to
parties desirous Of bringing cotton to sea-
ports or other places for shipment from
other districts will be allowed to do so upon
executing and delivering to the collector Of
the district where such seaport or place is
situated bond, with two or more sufficient
sureties, approved by the collector receiving
it, conditioned for the payment Of the tax
upon oil cotton for which permits may be
granted by the assessor OF the district in
which such cotton may be granted.
After giving the form Of the bond for
transportation, the Commissioner says:
This bond must be executed in a penal
sum equal to double the amount of the tax
on the quantity Of cotton intended to be re-
moted and in transitu at any one time dur
ing its continuance and assessors will be
careful not to grant further permits upon
any bond when the tax upon the quan.
tity already permitted amounts to one-halt
the sum named therein, until certificates Of
payment of the tax on the whole or portion
of the cotton transported under former per
inits are received from the receiving col
lector, when additional permits may be
granted; but in no case must the tax upon
the quantity under permit and unaccounted
for exceed one.half the penal sum Of the
bond.
"Thus, if the bond is given in sum secur
ing the tax upon FIVE hundred bales, Of foul
hundred pounds each, when this limit /!
reached, no further permit should be granted
except upon the receipt of the certificate o
delivery and payment, as hereinafter pro
vided.
"Where the evidence of payment Of th'
tax required for the cancellation Of the bon'
is not furnished within ninety days from tn
expiration Of the time for which the bon,
was given to continue, the Assessor viii
transmit the same to this Office, with all tn
papers connected Herewith, for such actio
as shall be deemed necessary, unless an e,
tension of the time for furnishing the re
quired evidence shall be granted upon appl
cation made to and approved by the Con
missioner Of Internal Revenue"

PROVOKING CIVIL WAR.

If the trouble in Maryland does not culmi-
nate in scenes of violence, perhaps in civil
war, it will not be for lack OF reasonable in
citements on the part Of the radical press.
The case is one completely within the juris-
diction Of the State authorities Of Maryland
civil, legal case-and there is no more need
of outside interference than there was when
Gov. FEyroS investigated charges against
the police commissioners Of New York city.
But some of the radicals are predetermined
that blood shall be shed in order that they
NAV lay it at the door Of the White House.
The Boston Advertiser Of Monday morning
closed an article with the paragraph below,
which was characterized by the Boston
Transcript Of the same afternoon as "signif.
cant remarks" The italicising is ours: :
"Some Of the warmer friends Of the Police
Commissioners do not hesitate to make q
direct appeal to the Northern people for
armed assistance in case Of trouble and for
protection from this quarter, euen against
Federal bdyonetS, il the President seeks to
intervene. We trust and believe that mat
ters will not come to such pass as this; but
perhaps the surest safeguard against it is the
be forthcoming, and Withom stint"
A few months ago 10 talk Of resisting
Federal bayonets" was reasonable down
this way, albeit some Of the Boston orators
and some Of the Boston press have gained
audiences and readers only by assault.
ing with tongue and pen the powers
that be. 1t is true that the Baltimore
american, in April, 1861, counseled resist
ance to Federal bayoncts in their march
through Maryland for the defence of the
capital and to make stand against the re-
bellon, but it afterwards repented and is
now intensely loyal, but after the war had
fairly begun any sheet that would use such
language as we have quoted from the Adver
tiser was deservedly pounced upon and shut
up by the War Department.
1t is nothing Less than foul incendarisu
to say to one of the excited parties in Mary
land, "resist your Governor; resist the Fed
eral bayonets if The president should orde
them there to enforce the laws and we will hell
your armed resistance without stint" /
is true that these are mere words of th'
easiest sort, for not man would leave Nev
England to engage in such fight, and leas
of all would any come from the Advertise
Office to the rescue Of the Commissioners
Such stuff may be characterized as Colone
JOHN W. JONES, of Hull, characterizes pt
ltical rectitude-"it it is all bosh." But
serves, nevertheless, to foment strife and
mischievous in the extreme.
The Commissioners case will be inall
settled by the proper courts, and there wi
be no need for armed attacks or armed r
sistance if parties out Of the State will mii
