THEIR MISERABLE cosDiTIcs--HELr ASKED FOR
Last Sunday morning at the Friends meeting
ON West street, Thomas Garrett read n letter from
Rachel Moore Townsend describing graphically
tue misery and destitution amongst the aged,
crippled, and infrm freedmen, at Washington.
The Government furnishes rations for them in
very limited quantities. and when they are sick
many Of them cannot eat the coarse unsavnry
food, and nearly eiarvc. Again, many of them
are without covering for their heads or bodies.
The Washington Friends were asked 10 contrib
ute clothing, and We believe an effort is being
made TO collect as much as possible to forward
for this purpose.
Friend Garret also sends us the following ex-
tract from letter of Robert Lamborn, Of Kennel
Square, Chester county, who has spent near two
months in Washington -

PENLNSULAR UNION OUR IDEA
or IT.

CF III.
The proposition to unite the Peninsula, by
Congressional action, receives general atten-
ton al the hands Of our Pcninsular ex-
changes, and among them, the Centrevillc
Observer inquiries whether the Commercial,
having always warmly advocated Uaion,
and perhaps led the movement in that direc-
ton, is responsible for the new scheme. We
reply to that, very promptly and decidedly,
No We know Of no power in Congress
alone to readjust State lines, and therefore
We do not look to any such means of accom-
plishing the result. Nor do we suppose for
moment, that anybody in Congress con-
templates such a proceeding. We have no
idea or desire of the kind.
But we renewedly urge upon the people OF
the Peninsula, since the subject is thus re-
vived among us, to look forward to the leg
itimate method by which our united State
government can be attained. First, the peo-
pie, themselves must resolve upon it, for
they only, in earnest and united, can accom-
plsh ii second, the consent Of the Mary
land, Delaware, and Virginia Legislatures
must he had lastly, Congress must approve
the action.
We ask the Observer, and our other Dem
ocratic contemporaries TO distinctly under
stand, aud in justice to state, the facts o
our position, in order that no secret enem,
of this most desirable and bcneiicient meas
ure of territorial unity shall make capita
against 1t in the minds OF men sincerely sen
silive to undue assumptions OF Congress
sional power. If anybody pretends that GU
advocacy of it runs in the direction of sue
reconstruction" they say what is not true

The news from IIayu is interesting. The
new Provisional Government is installed
Misage Saget is President, and Micheal Do
minique Vice President. Quiet has been re-
stored 10 the country. Sslnave fled towards
San Domingo, was captured once and cut
his way through his captors and is now in
the woods surrounded by his eRemies. Gen
eral Cheveler, Salnave's former General,
who betrayed him towards tue end of the
war, and who promised at one time TO make
q conspicuous figure in the Hayden history,
was shot by his new allies. The Congress
of the new Government has been called to
meet February list.

The AK On Farm Q rs.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OFF
INTERNAL REVENUE. WAsnINGIoN, .
Inppup,, IN-n

INTERNAL REVENuE. w AsIlINGIoN,
January TO- 1870.
Sir: Complaints are made at this office
that the Assistant Assessors in your district
are giving too strict a construction to the
law and the ruling under which n person
who makes it his business to sell the pre-
duets Of his own farm from n stall or stand
is required to pay special tax as produce
broker. 1t is enacted in paragraph 10 of
section 70, act of June 3Olh, 1864, that every
person other than one having paid The spe.
cial tax as a CONNER cial broker or cattle bro
ker, or wholesale or retail dealer or pedlar,
whose occupation 1t is to buy or sell hgrcul-
tu-al or fam products, and whose annual
sales do not exceed $4,000 shall be regard
ed as produce broker.
In determining the liability of farmer to
the special tax of u produce broker, il ia
necessary to inquire whether il is his occu-
patton to buy or sell agricultural or farm
products, and also whether he is exempted
from tax by any other provision Of the stat
ute. IL is provided In section "a of the act
OF June Both, 1861, as amended by the act OF
July 18th, 1866, that no special tax szall be
required Of producers for selling their
own products ut the place of production,
&c, and in paragraph ~, Of section 20,
that no man shall be required TO pay spe-
clal tax for peddling The products Of his own
farm or garden. These are The only ezemp-
tons ! find If, as it has been claimed, ii
was not the intention Of Congress 10 tax u
farmer for selling the products of his own
farm in any way whatever, 1t would seem
strange why these special limited exemptions
and exceptions should have been made in
his favor. Why should he have been ex-
empted from non-existing taxi However
DESTROYS ! may he To relieve farmers from
tax for selling the products of their own
farms, | am unable to find any legal author
ity to do II If il is their occupation to sell
| them, unless they fall within one exemptions
or exceptions above mentioned. The ru-
ling under which person makes il his oc-
cupdtiOn to sell the products of his own
farm from stall or stand is required to pay
a special tax as produce broker should be
construed aoih the utmost tiberatitg, giU-
ing him the benefit of all doubts respect
ing his ttdbitity.
1t cannot ordinarily be said to be the oc-
cupotiOn Of a farmer to sell his products,
IL is his occupation to raise them. The sell
ling is an incident TO the production. II is
only when he makes such selling his regular
and constant business that he should he re-
quired to pay the tax. You will give your
assistants the necessary instructions and will
take special pains o cause liberal construc-
tion of the law in this behalf toward pro-
| ducers. Very respectively,
G. DELANU, Commissioner.

Is text from which we should like TO preach o
sermon to our peninsula farmers. We are con-
WINGED that tho old system of agriculture Is not
being abandoned as rapidly as it should be, and
that corn continues too much still to be the basis
of life,-furnishng the bread. the pork, and the
whiskey which form the staple diet of the poorer
clnsses in most of the penlnsular counties.
