to its present consideration, it went over.
Resolution by Mr.. Crsgin to close accounts
with Jno. W. Forney, late Secretary to the
Senate. Mr.. Cameron explained his pre-.
vious objection to Mr.. Forney's account, and
said he had not only done nothing wrong,
but had been himself wronged. The Geor
gia bill was taken up, aud an amendment
offered by Mr.. Morton, requiring the legisa.
ture to be provisional until it has ratified
the l4th and 10Th amendments and the
State is represented in Congress, and pro.
viding penalties for ineligible persons ok.
ercisug office. Mr.. Carpenter thought the
amendment unnecessary and pernicious. -
be didn't want future jeff. Davis to make
bill Of exception and move for new trial.
Mr.. Drake wanted the rebels Of the South
to feel the power of Congress, and the infamy
of the Georgia legislature to be wiped out.
The South must be made to understand that
the government is nation that wields SOW.
ereign power that cant be be strangled by
the Supreme Court, or any State authority.
Mr.. Morton supported his amendment
till the morning hour expired, when the bill
relating to the appellate jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court was taken up. MIR. Trum.
bull said the bill defined the power of the
Judiciary, and had not been framed with
view to interfering with any question now
before the court. He submitted an amend.
h'ens iesulcHhB INC power OF circuit JUG
es to issue writs of habeas corpus to the
cases of persons in their respective districts.
The consideration of the Georgia bill was
resumed, and Mr.. Carpenter expressed his
willingness to require the adoption of the
18th amendment, but was opposed to Mr..
Morton's amendment. Mr.. Thurman pro.
tested against this attempt to coerce a State
to adopt constitutional amendment.

THE TAX ON FARMERS.

The following letter from the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, addressed
to Gen, Daniel Woodall, Assessor of
United States Internal Revenue for Della
ware, is published for the information of
all concerned
OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE, WASH
INGToN, Nov. 6, IS6S.-Sir: Your letter
of the 4th inst, inquiring eff farmers who
go to market regularly twice a week and
sell their produce from the curbstone
along the market, at any place they can
find not already occupied, should be re
garded as produce brokers" is received,
reply that they should be regarded as
produce brokers, and required to pay
special tax as such.
Farmers are exempt from special tax
when selling their produce at the place OF
production, or in the manner OF peddiers,
but selling at the market place, even
though different stand or station Is taken
every time, is not selling in the manner OF
peddler.
The farmer who is in the habit of going
to the market place and selling in the man
ner above indicated makes it his business
to sell, and should be required to pay
special tax accordingly.
Very respectfully,
J. W. DOUGLASS, Acting Commr.
