The great mass of the reading people of Penn
sylvania have of late had their attention di-
rected to the fact that the income of the Com
monwealth of Pennsy lvania during the past
year amounted TO about five millions of dollars.
Yet the sources from which this revenue was
derived, and how it comes that no one feels
the pressure of its taxation, are probably known
to few. 1t is well to look for moment at the
four great streams from which over one half of
the total receipts of the State are derived; for
from the four species of taxes we shall name
more ia secured than from all the scores of
other taxes combined. All of them are pay
ments extracted from rich corporations. Let
us take them in the order of the amounts they
realize. First. The tax on capital stock, from
which the State received during 1868 the sum
Of 81, ,064, ,06S. This tax was levied by act
approved 18th April, 1859, which provides for
the imposition of a tax on the capital stock
Of every bank, company, or asso citation, OF
one half mill for each one per cent. of divi.
dend declared by the company; and in case
NO dividend is declared, the tax is assessed
on the calculation of a dividend of six per
CeuJs VI lSbbs VIZ, w Lunho mOEo ClSar Uy
an example, a company declares dividend of
six per cent. on its capital stock Of $l05, 800.
Its tax would be 1916 so. By the law, a
steady and never-failing income Is secured to
the State as the price Of the corporate exist
ence Of the company, and is always means
OF revenue. How fruitful an engine for
raising revenue 1t is can be seen when the tax
paid by the Pennsylvania Railroad alone is
Sill, ,56S, by the Reading sl16, ,499, and by the
Lehigh Valley $685. The Pennsylvania
Company for the Insurance Of Lives under the
law pays so, 500. From it is secured nearly
one-fourth of the total receipts of the State.
Second. The next largest channel is that of
taxes on net earnings and income. 1t is i'm
posed by act Of Both of April, 1864, and in
cludes in those upon whom 1t falls both pri
vate bankers and all corporations not paying
a tax upon dividends. By the decision OF the
Supreme Court in the case of the Common
wealth VS.. Phmnix Iron Company, it does not
exclude from the new tax those which pay
taxes on capital stock 1t is three per cent
on all the income. Under it, last year there
was collected $422, 803. Against 1t bitter re-
bellion is raised by the various rich corpora
tiOns, aud there was for many months a battle
on every possible ground, but in all of them
the Commonwealth was successful.
The third Of the four sources to which we
have referred is the tax on gross receipts OF
corporations. 1t is imposed by act Of 29th
September, 1866, which provides "that in ad-
dition to the taxes now provided by law,
every railroad, canal, and transportation COM
pany, not liable to tax on income, shall pay
tax of three-fOurths OF one per cent on its
gross receipts" From this the State received
1884 16l. There is at present in litigation a
pOint as to whether this tax is OOnstitutionslly
laid on that portion Of gross receipts arising
from inter State traffic. Should II b. decided

quent action taken by General Terry. the
commandment of this Department. From
gentleman who arrived here from Atlanta
yesterday we get further interesting Darticu-
lars. 1t seems that L. b. Pond. the proprie
tor OF the National Hotel. General Terry.
ana Governor r. B. Bullock. were seated
IN front OF the hotel, at abou. 0 o'clock.
conNcrslng together, when Gaines Chisom.
n Wcll-known sporting man Of Atlanta,
approached the party, followed Ivy five or
SIX OF his friends. In his hand ChiSolm car
REQ bucket, partly concealed behind him,
which was filled with very offensive COM
pound. When within Il few feet of Pond,
Chisolm halted and asked Pond "What
was tr,mpsW Pond, not seeing the fatal
bucket, made some reply, upon which the
"sport" exclaimed, "Well, it's my play
now" and emptied the contents of the
pucSet on Ponds head, dcluging him from
head to foot, and also Splasfing liberal
supply Of the offensive material on the per-
sons of the Commandant Of the Department
and the Governor Of the State Of Georgia
As the astonished and besmirchcd officials
started from their seats. scarcely knowing
what to think Of the unexpected shower
bath, one Of Chisolm's friends fired pistol in
the ground in order to draw crowd and
make the joke public property. On hearing
the firing, large crowd Of course collected
around the spot, and the sporting men va
moosed, not, however, until Chisolm went
to stranger, who happened to he sitting
near the dignitaries at the time Of the
shower, and had come in for 4 sprinkling
himself, and begged his pardon for the UNI
intentional insult. No apology was made
to either Bullock or Terry. Terry, either
frightened or acting under the advice Of
Bullock, which is more probable, on the in
slant ordered out the military and put guards
around the hotel. On "Wednesday our in
formant states that troops were marching
all over the city, the guards still retained NJ
the hotel, and a company of infantry under
arms in the railroad depot. No arrests had
been made up to yesterday morning.
