STATE TAxEs-Gov. ORn, in response to some
inquiries addressed to him by Major Mittag, of
Lancaster, from which we make the following cx-
tracts which may be OF interest to some of our
readers:
The tax collector of your District is not required
BY the laws of ths State to take the test oath and
the Government of the State, under the Sherman
military bll is recognized with oil of its laws and
officers, until the military commander chooses to
abrogatc or remove them.
This not having been done, Mr.. yanandigham
will, therefore, proceed to collect the taxes which
arc necessary to carry the provisional Govern
mcn' SO recognized, and you will please commu-
nicate to him these views.
You inquire if q State law requiring those who
have hired freedmen to pay their taxes is right
The State law makes no such requirement of the
employer. The Tax Act of December, 1866, re-
quires every employer to return to the tax collec-
tor the names of his employees, (and it matters
not whether they are white or colorcd,l and such
employer may pay tho capitation tax of his en-
ployec. But the law leaves it entirely discretion
ary with him. See the third section on the Tax
Act, approved December 81, 1866.

THE OPINIONS OF MILITARY ZEN:

Since the appearance of letters from distinguish
ed Confederate Generals, advising acceptance by
the South of the profered terms of reconstruction,
certain editors and politicians sho we're notorious
.ly opposed to ssthe situation" during the days of
conscrpt officers and camps of instruction, and
who wanted to fight before the war commenced
and since it's close, but whose exploits when they
had an opportunity are not recorded save in works
of fcion-thesc peurilc fcllons scent the influence
of military training in the advice thus rendered,
and have begun TO deride such advice as the oPin-
ions of merely military men The Atlanta Lnteili-
genccr referring the conduct of such papers, has
the following sensible remarks on the subject:
There is in our humble opinion something of Gas
sumacy'-as old "Billy Walker in days that are
past used to say-on the part of that portion of
the press who see in the opinions of LEE, BEAURE-
GARD, LoNcsTREET, and others of "that like" and
in their advice TO their Southern fellow, citizens on
the political situation" the opinions and advice
Of merely military men, which weighed in the bal
ance with theirs, would fail TO even countcrpoise
the scales. This is sheer nonsense Such men as
LEE, BEAUREGAnD, LoSGsTnEET, high as their
claims recognized to be upon the affections of
our people, on account Of their military services
have other claims which entite their opinions and
advice to as much considerations at least rs that of
any member of the editorial fraternity, OF any po-
litical essayist They are, in the first place. each
and every one of them men of Southern birth, of
finished education, of strong native intellect, and
in the second place, so deeply imbucd with the
spirit of patriotism and love to their native South
that it were folly not to recognize their opinions
and advice upon the political situation as impor-
tant, and as worthy of consideration and of being
followed as those of any ether profession or class
of men in the South. WASHINGTON was military
man, and yet lie Tas q statesman. NAPOLEON, the
first. was q military man, and yet he, too, was n
statesman. WELLiSGroa was a military man, and
he was statesman. So may it he written of mill
tary men in ancient times-of CESAR and of others
whose names are inscribed upon history's page as
combining both the characteristics of warriors and
statesmen. We confess to being one oil those who
pay much respect to the counsel and advice of
such men as LEE and his gallant compeers, cspc-
cially in regard TO the duty of the people in the
present anomalous condition ofhe Southern States,
and we regret to efforts being made to resist or
weaken their influence with our people. When
battle was the order of the day, they headed the
Confederate battalions and most nobly did their
duty. live do not now respect the opinions and
seek the counsels of such men, in the name of
God whose opinions are we to respect, whose coun-
sells shall we seek?

ton without argument. Chase said if the Court
wished to hear the argument, he would notify
counsel.
In the Senate there was IN interesting argument
yesterday ON adjournment A point was made
that special session called by the President can
not legally adjourn without his consent, as it
would be dispersion. The difficulty lies in keeping
q quorum together, without which the Senate can
not work nor adjourn sine die. If a quorum is
present on Tuesday, The session will probably be
prolonged if not, the Chairman will adjourn the
Senate under yesterdays action. Scteral radical
