THE TOBACCO TAX.
! Meeting orthe Trade of this CITY.

In consequence of the recent decision of the
Revenue Assessors, with regard to the recent act
of Congress, modifying the tax on tobacco and
cigars, meeting of the trade was held last
evening at the Hall of the Trade. i'm Front
street. above Arch. David c. McCammon pre-
sided, and in stating the object of the meeting,
said it was to set in motion n movement to
secure the refunding of the value of stamps on
taX-paid goods.
Mr.. Dckerson suggested that the law of July
~, 1868, legislates all unstamped manufactured
tobacco of Ievery description as made since July
20, 1868; that the intention OF egislating all the
old stock as made under the new law was to give
power to enforce the law requiring the goods to
be repacked and new stamped; that the I'd Sec
tiOn OF the act of April 10, 1869, did not annul
the previous law, but added thereto that all un-
stamped manufactured tobacco of every descrip-
ton, that was properly returned TO the proper
assessor on or before February I, 1869" ="
comes legally under the provisions of section
3, ION or before July |, 1862 He
entered into the minutiR OF the acts of Congress
bearing on the subject in support of his position,
that the act of 1869 did not destroy the previous
legislation. in this respect. lie therefore sug-
gestcd that the Commissioner of Internal Reve
nue. be asked to sanction this construction. If
he decides adversely, then take an appeal, ask
ing him to stay proceedings until a decision is
reached.
Mr.. Hall stated that the assessor of his district
had required all his cigars to be stamped, and
also informed the speaker that all the stock of
all the manufacturers was liable to seizure He
therefore wished the trade to understand what
their rights are, and to this end he moved the
appointment of committee to write to Wash
ington to obtain a decision of the Commissioner
In this connection he stated that it was impos-
sible now for any manufacturer to prove in the
manner required the previous payments, as the
old assessors are now scattered.
There was considerable further discussion i'm
regard to the meaning of the new act requiring
new stamps, affecting the old stock upon
which tax has been paid under previous laws
Mr.. Halls motion for the appointment of u
committee was agreed to, and the Chair APP
pointed Messrs. Dickerson, Fougeray, Hail.
Joseph Bremen, and Harrison. The meeting
then adjourned.
