The tax upon buggies, carriages, gold

1ne .aX upon OugSies, coiiiaSeS, Eo'~
watches, pianos, and gold and silver plate
is unlike the income tax, for the coming
instead of the past years. The lncome,
as before stated, is from the first or jan
nary to the 3Ist of December, 1863,
while the tax upon these articles, is from
the frs: of May, 1866, to the first of
May, 1867, and are taxed to the person
owning, possessing or keeping them, or
who had the care or management Of them
on the first day of May, 1866.
Farmers are interested in the tax on
slaus shtered animals The proviso to Sec
ton 1O1, of the act of June 80, 1864,
exempts from tax five head of cattle three
months old and over, swine, sheep and
lambs not exceeding in all twenty in num-
Der, slaughtered BY any person for fami-
ly consumption, in any one yeaE The
farmer or other person that kills one anil
nal and sells it, must pay the tax. The
liability turns upon the selling. If con-
sumed, there IL no tag within she limited
number if sold, the tax attaches without
re eyard to number 1t is the duty Of the
person slaughtering animals, subject to
tax, to return the kind and number to
the Assistant Assessor every month
Farmers not regularly in the business OF
slaughtering, may do SO, we suppose, at
the time of making their income returns.
Tie taxes are: On cattle and calves over
three months old, 40 cents; on cattle and
calves under three months old, 5 cents
on hogs Of all ages, 10 cents; on sheer
and lambs cents.
There is another item of tax not gen
erally undersood. We allu1e to the tax
of six cents per ton on coal. A ton o.
coal is twenty-five bushels. The mar
running the bank is liable for the tax
and must return the amount mined to the
Assistant Assessor within ten days from
the first dag Of each month. All Goa
mined, whether sold Of consumed, is sub
ject to tax. .,..=z. -... .,.-..-..
| There is also a tax Of one fourth c
one per cent. on all sales a. auction. !
man cries his own sale, he must return
the amount u sale TO the Assistant As
SCISSOR, the same as if the sale had beer
conducted by licensed auctioueer.
We need not here allude to the tax OF

terested in them. If the reader will Gu

He now presents the humiliatng spectacle of
President without power or party; nom

even the capability of perpetrating wrong.
His army OF office holders and sycophantic
cringers are powerless to aid him. The Uni n

sufficiently large to pass any measures they
think proper, whether he sees fit to sign them
or not. The elections yet to transpire will
only be repetition of those which have

is an unlucky State for rebels, whether they
have bayonets or ballots in their hands. The
result of the recent elections shows most
plainly that the loyal citizens of the North,
those wEo stood by the Government in its
hour of peril and need, do not desire to place
it in the power of unrepentant rebels to re-
enact the bloody scenes OF the past five years,
the wishes of Andrew johnson to the contra
ry notwithstanding. The result also dem
onstrates the fact that the people heartily en-
dorse the action of the Radical majority in
Congress. and that they will stand by them
in their efforts to SO I, habilitate the seeded
States as to place it out of their power to
again menace the Government. A death
blow has been struck at the hopes and aspi-
rations of the Tennessee Pretender and his
craven adherents. and their political epitaphs
