Washington.

WASHINGTON, May THE registry of
the city is completed, About $1,000 is
the entire number of names, of which
there is a majority Of $50 whites.
Gen. J. NJ. Palmer, Treasurer of the
Union Pacific railroad, Eastern division,
received four hundred and eighty thousand
dollars in United States bonds, being the
amount due on the seventh section of thir-
ty miles of their completed road, just ac-
cepted by the Government Commissioners.
1t is not true that Chief Justice Chase
will be in Richmond next week to preside
at the trial of Jefferson Davis. He will
not leave the bench of the Supreme Court
till the close of the present term, Goth of
May, and then he win be occupied several
days in concluding nominations of Regis
ters in Bankruptcy.
The Judiciary Committee will probably
remain in session two or three weeks then
adjourn to New York to examine the con-
signee of the Kansas branch Union Pacific
railroad.
1t is now generally understood that Judge
Underwood will try Mr.. Davis at the pres

The Kentnckv Elections.

The Louisville Courier of the 9TH, says
that the Democracy of Kentucky have car
ried every district in the State, a I'd by ma
jorities largely exceeding, in proportion to
the vote cast, those given for Judge Du-
vail last year. Nothing like full returns
are yet in from the Eeighth and Ninth dis
tricts, where the Radicals claim to have
most strength, and in which they conf
IDENTIFY expect to elect their candidates, but
enough is given to show that both Young
and Adams have beaten their competitors.

DIRECT TAXES.
Suspension Of the Collections in the
South Closing Of the Commits
sioner's Offices for Tennessee.

Pursuant to an order from the Secreta-
ry of the Treasury, under date of May 1st,
1867, the Office of the Direct Tax Commits
sioners for this State, located il this city,
has been closed, as. also. Offices of the kind
throughout the South. The law suspend
ing all collection of direct taxes until Jan
uary 1st, 1868, was passed by Congress in
July, 1866, and the closing Of the Com
missionsrs' offices naturally followed,
though no act closing them was passed IN
til recently. AS far back as May, 1865, an
act was passed disseminating all sales OF
land for non payment of taxes.
The direct tax originated in 1861, Con-
gress having at that time called for twenty
millions of dollars, ''to provide internal
revonue. to support the Government, and
to pay interest on the national debt" The
South was, of course, not then in eondi-
ton to pay her portion of the twenty mil
lions, and the collection Of the tax was not
commenced in the Southern States until the
close of the war.
Of the amount levied by Congress seven
hundred thousand dollars was to be collect
ed in Tennessee. and Col. E. P. Ferry, of
| Illinois, General A. A. Kyle, of East Ten
nessee, and E. P. Cone, Esq, of this city,
were appointed Direct Tax Commissioners
| for this State.
These Commissioners have collected four
hundred thousand dollars of the tax, in
the counties of Shelby, Davidson, Wilson
Sumner, Franklin, Williamson, Maury,
Rutherford, Henry, Bradley, Cheatham.
Dickson, DeKalb, Hardin, Jefferson, Lin
coin, McMinD, Madison, Perry, Roane,
Robertson, Smith and Stewart, while in
the sixty other counties, nothing whatever
has yet been collected.
The impoverished condition of the South
is said to have been the cause of the sus-
pension of collections until the first of next
year, as well as to give the States an oppor-
tunity of assuming the debt claimed to be
due to the government.
1t is hardly to be supposed that this
State will assume the debt of three hundred
thousand dollars still due, but even if il
should, and the balance of the tax be col
lected in proper proportion from the re-
naming sixty counties, the suspension
works injustice to those who have been
compelled to pay money in times like these
while others are respite for months to come
