Acting COMMISSIONER of Internal Il :v-
enue Harlan has Issued supplemental re.
gulaliOns concerning the tax on distilled
spirits. They ale intended to secure cor
rectness and uniformity in the monthly re-
ports of assessors. 1t is provided among
other things that having found the quantity
Of mat erial used, they will determine the
quantity Of spirits which should be az
counted for from this quantity Of MATERIAL
and if they have no more definite means Of
determining this they will determine from
the character Of the material used, what
quantity Of spirits buskel Of such material
should yield, and calculate the product to
be accounted for, or the required produc-
ton accordingly. The number of days
upon which the per diem capacity tax is
to be assessed is the whole number since
the date of the commencement in the
month inclusive, less Sundays, and the
days upon which operations have been
legally suspended.
The Acting Commissioner has also is
sued instructions as 10 the survey of dis
tilIeries, in which it is stated 10 estimating
the number Of dry inches TO be allowed for
fermentation the assessor and person de-
signaied TO aid him must Of course be gov
erned in great measure by the depth Of
the fermenting tubs. From the best infor-
nation received it is believed that fair
allowance will be from three to seven dry
inches for corn, aud any mixture of corn
and rye not exceeding one-half rye to one

THE Davidson FAIR GROUNDS.
The Location eaiIi Undecided.

Inc AocHbtOu StAu DnucclCeu'
The crowded state of our columns on
Sunday morning prevented the following
reference TO this intere sting subject: The
association met on Saturday, and received
reports from the several canvassers for .
location of the proposed Fair Grounds for
this city and county. These reports
showed that S., 400 had been subscribed 10
the CockrilI Springs tract; 81 800 to the
Foster place, and $l5, 800 to the Golf place.
The price Of the first named location is
$4,000, of which the proprietor agrees to
take in stock ST., 500, leaving a deficit Of
subscriptions TO pay the purchase money
of$S, 100.
The price OF the second is $50, 900, Of
which the proprietor takes SIS 900, lesy-
ing deficit of sl2, 500 on the purchase
money.
The price Of the third place is SIC 900
Of which the owner takes SIC, 500 in stock
of the Company-thes subscription TO which
pays the purchase money in full, ant
leaves the sum of $40, 800 to be applied Il
the erection Of improvements.
After considering the several reports th,
Association postponed the location for twc
weeks; and in the meantime the subjec
will continue to be presented to the public
which is 80 much interested, first in tn
success Of the Association, ard next in
proper selection of the grounds, and thei
speedy Improvement.

IEXcitIpg Dog F. ght.

One Of the most exciting dog fights that
Nashville has been afflicted with since it
was a small village, occurred yesterday on
the Public Square. The contestants were
both bull dogs one a thoroughbred, the
property of Cap. Hammer, and the other
belonging to james Steele. They fought
upwards of one hour, and the fight was
witnessed by crowd equal 10 Bumbers 10
hat.which attends a circus. Daring the
canine engagement, we noticed number
of individuals who we're as much excited
as the dogs, and were betting freely on the
result, Steele's dog was fuaIly declared
the victor, and numerous e., e0backs
changed hands.
After the fight was over, the victorious
dog was marched around and thousand
voices here and there, were heard exloll-
ing his fighting qualities, and pointing
him out as the hero Of the occasion. 10
fact, the parade over his dogship surpassed
our powers of description, and nothing has
ever yet been written applicable to the re-
ception of hero that will compare with
this event, except the accounts given of Bill
Stokes fret visit to Massachusetts,.
Although we were an eyewitness to
some of the exciting scenes, it occurred to
US that the Public Square, nearly immedi-
ately in front Of the Mayors office, was not
a fitting place for prolonged dog fight,
which had the appearance of match en-
gagement. City oficisls, however, seemed
to think that it was all right, and We SUP
pose, therefore, that it was all regular.

many lawyers, too many doctors, too many
persons, in short, who stand merely az in
termediaries between the producer and the
consumer. One of the New York journals
estimates that there are 200, 900 people out
Of work within sight Of the spire Of Trinity
Church. Within an equal distance of the
State House at Boston there are doubtless
$4,000 more, and another $4,000 in the in
terrier of New England. Most Of these
unfortunate persons are anxious for en-
ployment, but cannot obtain it. Even the
high tariff, which 80 enriches the great
manufacturers, does not put morsel CT
bread or an ounce Of meat into their
mouths.
"What visible outlet to all this surplus
labor is afforded, unless at the South. The
Wssr, for the present, is pretty well filled
up with laborers of all descriptions, and
thousands there are cut OF work. The
South, then, is the only vacant field easily
accessible ON this continent for the unem-
ployed masses Of the North"

JAIL DELIVERY.
Thieves Break Out aEd Slide.

Thieves Brcak Out aEd Slide.
A few days since the Jail at Troy, Tenn,
was broken into and all the prisoners re-
leased. A number of men we're confined
in the Jail awaiting trial for stealing horses.
1t is thought that confederates Of the pris
oners enabled them to escape. Painter,
the murderer of old man Everett, was
among the prisoner who got away, but il
is said he has been arrested and taken
back. The Hickman (Ky.) Courier says:
There appears TO be q regular organized
band of horse thieves operating through
Oul West Tennessee, and the immediate
cause Of the jail delivery at Troy, il is
supposed, was from fear of an exposure by
some Of the parties confined. One of the
thieves, it is intimated, intended coniessing
before the court a full exposition Of the
operations of the band, the names Of its
members, leaders, etc, aud it is apprehend-
ed the names of some citizens of ObiOn
county, Tenn, and Fulton and Hickman
counties, KY, would have appeared upon
the role. The authorities have some clue
left, and will use the utmost vigilance to
discover the names of sill the members oil
the band, and bring them TO speedy and
deserved punishment.
