HEAD Q'Rs, THIRD MILITARY DISTRICT,
MONTGOMERY, ALA, April LIST, 1867.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, April LIST, 1867.
! Orders No. 1.
II. The civil officers at present in
office in Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama will retain their offices until the
expiration Of their terms of service,
unless otherwise directed in special
cases, SO long as justice is impartially
and faithfully administered. 1t is
hoped that no necessity may arise for
the interposition of the military au-
thorities in the civil administration
and such necessity can only arise from
the failure of the civil tribunals to pro-
tect the people without distinction in
their rights of person and property.
III. 1t is to be clearly understood,
however, that the civil officers thus re-
tanned in office shall confine them
selves strictly to the performance Of
their own official duties; and whilst
holding their offices, they shall not use
any influence whatever to deter or dis
suade the people from taking an active
part in reconstructing their State Gov
ernments under the Act of Congress
to provide for the more efficient Gov
eminent of the Rebel States and the
Act supplemental thereto.
". No elections will, be held in
any of the States comprised in this
Military District, except such as are
provided for in the Act of Congress,
and in the manner therein established
but all vacancies in civil offices, which
now exist or which may occur by ex
piration of the terms of Office of the
present incumbents before the pre-
scribed Registration of voters is com
pleted, will be filed by appointment
of the General Commanding the Dis
trict. JNO. POPE,

The United states Annual Taxes.

Much research is exhibited in con-
sidering the subject of the political
status of the Southern States; and the
public mind is still not wholly enlight-
ened. But thereis one inevitable fact
the memorable demands of the tax
gatherer upon our impoverished PEG
pie. 1t will not be out of place, there
fore, for us to state that the Internal
Revenue law, as amended at the last
session Of Congress directs the as
sessment of the annual taxes to begin
on the first day Of March, not with the
month of May as heretofore. But
the late date when the law was passed
left no time for the printing of blanks
and issuing Of instructions hence the
delay in the commencement Of the an
nual levy.
A few points Of information con-
corning this assessment may serve the
convenience of taxpayers. The pres
ent annual taxes embrace tax on in
comes derived from the first OF Janua-
ry to the 31st of December, 1865, tax
on business licenses covering the pc
Rod from May, 1857, to May, 1868,
and tax on personal property, watches,
pianos, billiard tables and carriages.
The chief change in the income tax,
from the requirements Of last year, is
that now 81 900 is exempt from tax,
instead of 5000 as heretofore, and the
tax, after the 81, 900 exemption, is uni
formly per cent, no matter how
great or how little the amount taxed. |
There are few material changes be-
yond these two in the income tax.
Some misapprehension has existed as
to the time which this tax is intended
to cover. We repeat that it is for the
calendar year 1866, from January to
December, both inclusive.
