GREAT DECREASE IN THE REVENUE
The New York Herald (RadicaD in a
recent article says
According to the best information that
can be gathered, there viii be a falling
off in the internal revenue income for
the current year to an amount more than
double the estimate Of Secretary McCul-
loch in his last annual report We publish
elsewhere in tO-day's Herald a list of the
taxes assessed upon manufactures and
productions, for March and April, in
nearly all the districts Of New York, and
in great part of Massachusetts,, Com
necticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Maryland As COM
pared with the corresponding months OF
last year, these returns show falling of
from this source Of revenue Of over forty
per cent The new tax law, with reduced
rates and large additions to the free list,
went into operation March ,, 1867, and
the returns for March and April, there
fore, show its first results Although the
list is only partial the uniformity in the
decrease and its rate Is sufficient wi
dence that the same condition of affairs
exists throughout the country, and iusti-
| iies the estimate that the aggregate de-.
| crease from this source Of revenue will
reach forty per cent In the receipts
| from the tax upon incomes there is yet
greater falling of, but assuming a decline
Of forty per cent all round, we have a to-
| tai decrease in the revenue from internal
taxation for 1867, as compared with last
year, Of one hundred and twenty-five
millions ofdollars This throws the calcu-
lations of Secretary MCCULLOUGH into con-
fusion, his estimate of the decrease for
the present year, based upon the reduce
ton Of the rates, being about forty mil
lions In addition to this the expendi-
lures will be largely in excess Of the Sec
retary's estimates, in consequences Of the
expenses Of the Reconstruction act and

FEATURE IN REGISTRATION.

The Commissioner Of Registration for
this county has thus far, we believe,
given as much satisfaction as from the
odious nature of his duties could
be reasonably expected He has
not sought to make an unjust
and obnoxious law, more sobnox-
iou5 by the manner Of its execution.
This much to his credit it is due to state.
A circumstance brought to our notice
day or two since, however, requires ani-
madversion. 1t is this. Three colored
men of this city applied for certificates
and we're refused on the ground that
there associations were rebel one of
them being rejected because he was in
the employ Of rebels This statement
is from the parties themselves, with two
Of whom we have conversed, and who
narrated the particulars of the catechis
ing to which they were subjected. This
questioning''was chiefly carried on by a
notorious hanger-On about the Office who
has no official connection with the Com
missioner, but who volunteers to make
himself very ofhcious in challenging APP
plicants against whom he entertains i'll
will
Now, the commissioner very well
knows there is nothing in the letter of the
law which authorizes him to inquire into
the character of company a man may
keep, or from whom be obtains employ
ment. If he listens to the malicious sug-
gestions of every impudent pimp who
thrusts himself forward in order to
crafty a personal malevolence, he will
bring himself into deserved odium There
is little doubt that in the present instance,
the objections were made not so much to
the parties themselves, as for the purpose
of manifesting spite towards certain other
parties We advised the indivi duals to
renew their application, and demand that
the Commissioner should hear proof and
permit the superseryiceable informer to
be confronted fairly by them If he will
do this, and direct all such characters TO
keep clear Of his Office hereafter, he will
retain the respect which his department
has thus far commanded

tofore held as Governor of Louisiana, and
YOU have declined TO turn them over to him,
disputing the right to remove from office
by me, which right you have acknOw-
lodged and urged on me up to the time of
your removal. | therefore send Brevet
