THE RAILROADS AND THE IN-
COME TAX ts--t.

Some of the ablest lawyers in the
United States, and some of the leading
Radical journals have taken the ground
that the operation Of the income tax
law ceased with the last year. We see
that this question is about TO be tested In
the courts. In the Court of Nisi Prius,
Philadelphia, on the oath, the counsel for
the Philadelphia and Trenton Railway
Company made application for an injunc-
ton to restrain the Collector of Internal
Revenue and his agents from levying and
collecting the income tax of five per cent,
upon the sum of scopes AZ, declared
dividend, and $50, 70S 4S, net earnings,
which was applied to the construction
and necessary repairs of the road, the
ground taken being that the tax does not
lie against incomes paid or payable after
the S1st Of December, 1869. The pre-
nminary injunction was granted for five
days, at the end of which time the ques-
ton is to be argued. Some ten or twelve
leading railroads in Pennsylvania have
refused to pay taxes as above, and await
the action of the Court.
Commenting on the 10Th section of the
Internal Revenue law passed in 1867,
which is in the following words: "And
no suit for the purpose of restraining the
assessment or collection of taxes shall be
entertained by any Court legal writer
says;
There can be no reasonable doubt con-
corning the invalidity of such prohibit
ton. 1t is in direct conflict with one of
the provisions of the fifth amendment of
the Constitution of the United States,
which says 'tNo person shall be deprived
of life, liberty or property without due
process of law This Internal Revenue
law, in case of an unjust or illegal Gas
sessment or collection of taxes" steps in
and declares that the citizen may be robbed
of his property, and abrogates the con-
stitutional protection of ''due process of
law"

How TO BUILD AN Ice HousE.-A
correspondent Of the Raral World
recommends the following plan to
those wishing to build ., permanent
ice house. Il would not be adapted
to level land where drainage is diff
cult:
Foran ordinary farm purpose make
an excavation IOx14 feet, IL feet
deepi dig a trench and lay the tile or
some other materialin the bottom to
prevent any water from standing,
which will melt ice very fast. Wall
up all around eight feet; then put on
Yonr center. and turn o good arch
over the entire length, The arch
ought to be made of brick
nine inches thick and four foot ele-
walton, or Of stone twelve inches
thick. Put the door in at one end
perpendicular; also strap door as in
out door cellars; run q fuo about four
feet from each end to carry off the
heat and gas, Cover the arch with
earth TO Tie depth Of three feet, and
sod over and plant ciump Of trees
to prevent the sun from shining on
the mound, and you have a house OF
cellar that will last nm age, and give
good satisfaction. The perpendicular
door 2x44 feet is large for convent
Eence; cellar of the above siso can BE-
built for SIS, all complete, and, il
properly filed, will supply the do
mand Of any ordinary family.

tions during the day, but our QUOTA
tons are at the close of business
ovcry day. Stock is moving slowly,
and but little TRANSPORTED We learn
of but very few shipments and they
arellight. There seems to be a lively
competition among our merchants to
see who can touch hard pan on prints,
and we here hint to our country
people that perhaps more favorable
time to purchase prints cannot be
found this fall and winter, than just
now. Flannels and cotton batting,
articles just now particularly needed
for winter wear, arc also cutting q
lively figure, and again We say, prob
ably you had better purchase now, if
you want prices below anything ever
offered in the city before. We shall
not refer to any particular house, as
wo are satisfied that all will give
prices very favorable. Country pro-
ducc is very much in demand, and
good prices paid for everything.
