Two friends met al the markethouse yes-
teFday morning, when the following colo
guy ensued;
Mr.. A. Good morning, Mr.. b. What
brings You out so early this morning
Mr.. B. / have come around to pay nay
taxes Ny taxes seem to increase every
year, though my house is not worth a.
much as before the war.
Mr.. A. What is your house worth, and
what is your taxi
Mr.. b. My house is worth $4,000, and
my taxes are $500.
Mr.. A. | am little too sharp to be
paying taxes. sold my house for $4,000
and invested in 80 bonds, and now have
no taxes to pay, but | am going TO the
bank this morning TO draw my interest.
Thus it ia that the laborer spends one
fourth Of his time TO pay taxes, while the
rich bondholder pays no tax, and draws
his interest in gold.

An Important Inquiry-CotiOD. Dis
fffIeriQS etc

AA1tAhSSS CaNs
We have received the following commn-
nicatiOn from Jackson county, making imr
portant inquiries, concerning which the
people Of the State are generally inter-
ested:
JACKSON COUNTY, TENN, Jan. 18th,
1S68.-EditOTs Of the Union and Dispqtch--
GENTS: Will you be so kind 80 10 give rs
some information in regard 10 what is re-
qGired Of q man before he can operate a
distillery, say to make one barrel per day :?
Is he required to pay license, If 70, how
mnch? Is he required to have a meter, and
what does il cost?
We have been required 20 pay three
cents on every pound of cotton we have
made and used in our families for the last
three years. no matter il it was but five
pounds in three years, we had to ride from
ten to fifteen miles to pay the fifteen cents.
Is this according to law? Please give us
some information as soon as possible, that
we may know how TO protect ourselves
from these rayenous wolves.
JACKSON COUNTY.
We answer our Jackson friends with
great pleasure, and say to them that unless
you manufacture $500 worth of cotton per
year, you are not required to have license,
or pay special tax, and nothing in the
law requires Won TO make any report of
what cotton you spin up. As to distilling,
it lie necessary under the law to pay the
special tax at the rate of 800 per year,
and conform to all the regulations in regard
to the arrangement of pipes, cistern, etc,
and make application for meter, at the
same time depositing the money to pay for
one, the least price Of which is $3.50.

The President of the Commercial Bank
Sc Menphie. pubishes the following card

The President of the Commercial Bank
81 Memphis, Publishes the following card I;
MEMPHIS, Jan. 13. 1868.-Owing to the
general financial distress, the extreme
scarcity of currency, our total inability to
realize on our assets, and unexpected dis
appointments in arrangements already
made, this bank is forced to discontinue
business
Having done all in my power TO sustain
the bank and protect its depositors, regret
exceedingly that we are forced to this al
tentative, but further sacrifice on my part
cannot be made in time to avoid this re-
suit
l will say to my friends that the assets of
the bank are largely more than sufficient to
meet all its liabilities, and that will do all
in my power to see that every deposition is
paid az soon as possible.

island OF Cuba for month past turns
out to be much greater IN It's proper
tons than was al first supposed. As
most Of the news received comes
through the Cuban officials, It's diff
cnlt to obtain the truth in regard to
the revolution Enough, however,
has leaked out to show that the Span~
iards. who have heretofore controlled
the island, are becoming alarmed. =
I IS said that most OF the wealthy
planters have joined the insurgent
forces. and tnat one Of their armies
