THE TRUCK DEALERS AND THE SPECIAL TAX.
The recent decision of the Internal Revenue
Bureau farmers selling their produce in the market
or at stands away from the place Of production, must
pay special tax has created much bitterness Of feeling
among the trucraisers who heretofore bartered
and sold and grown rich without being called upon

revenue decision outrage, and will doubtless pro-
test in the OF justice The fruit vendors will
also be attended at early day, II report speaks
truly For the privilege of blocking the pavement they
pay nothing except In where rent Is charged
by the owner of the building whose door s darkened ;
and for they utterly ignore the existence OF any
such burden They cann0t be taxed as pedders for the
reason that they not perpatetic but remain In
place some of them for 40 years The internal revenue

cannot be cassed and taxed peddlers and object

y COMING GRAND Arr,m-The meeting of the
Union and Central Pacific Railroads. which will
occur certainly not later than the Fourth of next
July. will be one of the grandest commercial
events in the brief history of the Republic. Great
preparation Is being made for it. and it will be
celebrated with becoming pomp and enthusiasm.
The St. Louis Democrat makes some allusion to
the preparations Of the Union Pacific managers.
and declares that the most extraordinary event of
this railroad age will be the magnificent transcon-
tinental excursion which. in the coming month of
July. is to open the Pacific railway route from one
ocean to the other. Its managers will make their
own announcements in good time. and former Oc-
casions are in proof how well they understand
their business. 1t will be the worlds great repre-
sentative gathering, that will meet in the heart of
the continent to see the last rail spiked home.
From the Atlantic side the party will consist of
one thousand guests. in 4 superb train of f~orty-fve
cars. finished expressly for this occasion. DR..
Durant will. We learn. commence the excursion
proper ut Omaha, leaving it to guests from all
over the country To reach that point by their own
choice of routes. At the head of the list of invited
guests will be President Grant and his Cabinet.
There will also be delegations of our foreign
cousins from over the water. 1t will be worth
something to see the grand gathering at Chicago,
ana the transit through. We learn that a car
manufacturing company are building several SPLEEN
did sleeping and cOmmiiSsary ears for the call to
be made on these facilities. Altogether ii will be
an affair IN American railroad annals unlikely
ever to be surpassed, since no possible achieve
ment of similar magnitude waits 10 he performed.
Other routes To- IN" Pacific are to lac created. but
this is the first. We have not learned what prcpa-
rations have been made by the managers OF the
Central Pacific. but we doubt not they will TO
their share toward making the event all that il an
ticipated-I,JTiiorj1i Enterprise.

QUARANTINE At Huo.-Captain Blackmcr, Of the

about to sail tor this port After spending the even
ing ON board the schooner the Captain returned to
his own vessel, where lac shortly after received .
package Of formidable looking documents ordering
him to stop all communication with the shore. The
next morning the pilot, his boats crew and an inter-
prefer came oil, and the bark was ordered to proceed
10 Honolulu, taking the plot, his crew and the inter-
prefer with him, all Of whom had been on shore
nearly all night had taken another vessel out
Of the bay, and had. If there was danger Of infection,
done all the mischief they could do. While at the
residence Of the official the Captain gave all the in
formation in regard 10 the disease which he had on
board, viz: y few days out Of san Francisco one Of
the men broke out with eruption, which, coming
from a port infected with smallpox, the Captain
thought might be that disease. and consequently
took every precautiom to prevent its spread. The
man was not sick, never even losing his appetite,
anl went 70 work within eight days after the erup-
ton appeared. The bark went on a short cruise and
entered IIilo sereHiy-sir days after the man resumed
his work, and during this time no one else was sick.
Ia the face Of all this, the Captain who had landed,
the pilot and his crew who had been ashore all night,
AMI an interpreter were all ordered to this port.
We have not heard whether the official and his family
