LEGAL EFFECT OF THE PROCLA
sofi!'ft }ff<eStt NATION III r!s%2fafl4 xIast

Tho proclamation of President johnson,
declaring the .insnrrection at an end IN all
the States, is complete abdication Of all
the extraordinary powers with which the
President was clothed by Congress, during
the wafs> This consequence would have
attended the previous proclamation,
only that it did not include Iexas and
the msurrection having been regarded by
Congress as one whole, and pot as series
of separate insurrections in several States,
the extraordinary powers cid not expire
So long as there was any place whore the
insurrection had not been declared extinct.
There were only eleven States that seced-
ed but in consequence of this local insur-
rection, confined to one section of the
country, the President was empowered by
Congress to suspend the habeas corpus
throughout tie United States, or any part
OF them, and this power was vested in him
till the end Of the rebellion. But Texas
having completed the construction Of a
loyal State government, and the President
having declared the insurrection at an end
III that State. as we'll as Ill all the others,
the whole system of military interference
with the regular course of law falls to the
ground, and things revert to the condition
III which they were before the war.
And now that the hdeous system has
ended, we defy any man to lcok back mp
! On its history, and point ont an instance
in which arbitrary arrests, overriding
courts by martial law, and shutting NJ
newspaper offices by flies of soldiers, &C
complished the slightest good, or fastened
by single day, the snccessful termination
OF the wary. z. World.

IMPORTANT TO INTERNAL REV
ENUE OFFICERS.

The Acting Commissioner of Internal
Revenue yesterday issued circular, sta
ting that the Secretary Of the Treasury has
ordered that the acceptance Of a nonina-
tion for an elective office by an Assistant
Assessor of Internal Revenue, will be ta-
ken as evidence that he no longer desires
to retain his position. This order has been
considered necessary in view OF the fact
that it has been represented to the Com
missioner that Assistant Assessors had used
their official positions to secure such NOM
nations, their relation to the taxpayer
being such that they may use it to their
personal advantage in this respect, if 80
disposed. 1t is believed that the position
OF a candidate for Office before the people
is nm favorable to that strict impartiality
which is so essential to tie proper dis
charge of the duties of an Assistant As,
structs- assessors to promptly report the
or who is known to be seeking nomina-
ton for any Office, in order that an ap-
pointment may be at ouce made. @

says, in his last letter: "He is still with

consider his refusal Of the supreme militia

the Romans, is no longer adverse to the
Generals acceptance to the position. AS

the Uospodar, the sum OF 100000 down
in hard cash, princelY salary, and, the
supreme, absolute command OF all the mil

IMPORTANT TO THE CIGAR Trade
Assessor join W. Frazier, OF the First District,
mas received the following communication from
the Department at Washington. The communi-
cation is one of great importance TO the cigar
trade, settling definitely question that has
been under consideration for some time:-
:, TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF INTERNAL
REVENUE, WASHINGTON, November 8, 1S66.-Sir:
i nave received your letter of the both ult.,
enclosing letter IRON G. Gumpert, Esq. in
reIatloG to the bonding of cigars.
In answer have to say that the bonding of
clgars is a privilege which the law gives to
every manufacturer. He can exercise the privi-
ilege or not, as he sees fit. Before cigars are
bonded, their value is to be ascertained by an
appraisement made by the Assessor OF the dis
tflct; Before GEARS are withdrawn from bond
the law requires that the tax should be paid,
and after such payment the owner may sell
mem mem where and when, and at such prices as he
The Assessor is not warranted by law, and
lnls once viii not sanction any system of con-
structive bonding. 49,
where the tax does not accrue on cigars until
alter a sale has been effected, the actual price
received, whether the cigars are disposed of at
wholesale or retail, must be returned for taxa
tlon: Very respectfully,
THOMAS HARLAND, Deputy Commissioners.

ply sufficient, and you have cur
tailed your expenses 1855. To-
the Chairman of the County
Court you have been paying $500
per year; this is just as little as
you ought to pay, To the Quo
rum Justices you have been pay
ing So per day; So is probably
more than most of them make any
other days, and the difference
would save the county $50 or $lOo.
And lastly :, there great many ac-
counts that come up before the
County Court, that are passed over
very slightly and ordered to be
paid. They may be all correct,
buff l had been a Magistrate, there
are some accounts that should have
had more investigation, or | should
have voted against them. The
Court that was present may have
understood the business, may have
known that the charges were
right and not eXtravagant In
amount; but it has seemed to me
sometimes when | was present,
that about a half a dozen Magis-
trates were doing the business, and
they are sometimes employed as
much about outside business as
they are about that of the Court.
have been in some deliberative
societies, and have heard of the
mode pursued in others, and in all
of them, through committee or
other means, q majority of those
entitled to vote always understand
or have some safe assurance that
the money they appropriate is
properly and justly due. Our
County Court could not erect itself
into q Masonic or Odd Fellows
Lodge, but it might accomplish all
that is desirable in matters of
doubt by reference to a committee
to reportthe same day if practical
BILE, and if not let them report TO
the next quarterly term, for it is
better that an appropriation lie
overthree months than that money
should be improperly drawn ont
of the County Treasury. Having
thrown these hints together rather
hastily, / hope they will offend nc
lone, if an inadvertent expression
has escaped me. They have been
written because / thought a poor
people had been taxed too heavily
already, and are entitled to some
relaxation of their burdens. Ihope
our Magistrates will give them a
passing thoughtif they deem them
worthy. - UsUs.

What Congress is Doing.

From the proceedings up to this
time, we are able to give our read
ers the following outlines: 1t is
proposed to pass a law requiring
the President to submit to the
Senate all appointments made du-
ring the recess within the twenty
days after Congress meets. And
all the appointees who are rejected
by the Senate shall be ineligible
for any government Office for three
years thereafter! This lao is, IN
tact, just as e6ect,.al a barrier to
any mans accepting an appoint
meat from the Precedent, as it they
should pass lao to hang any man
soho should do so. Mr.. Sumner
has introduced bill to give Con-
gress entire control over the sub
ject of reconstruction, and to ex-
clude the Southern States from rep
resentation in Congress, and to
prevent them from voting on Con-
stitutional Amendments. Also a
bill setting forth the true princi-
pies of reconstruction and the juris-
diction Of Congress to control the
whole subject. Also, making the
present State governments illegal
and to reduce them to territories.
Congress also, through Mr.. How
ard, expresses grave doubts as to
whether by the Constitution, the
pardoning power rests with the
President. We can safely pre-
dict that a strong effort on the part
of Congress will be made to undo
all the past acts of the President
all the pardons be has
granted, and again libel all the
he has restored. The
future must reveal what is to be !
the fate of the heretofore existing
prerogatiyes of the President.
