There seems TO be some misapprehension
as to the nature Of Judge SrRoSo's recent de-
cision in regard to the income tax. The Judge
decided that no tax on dividends payable in JAN
uary, 1870, could be collected, not because Con-
gress cannot extend the operation of law by an
act declaring it's construction, as the Washington
correspondent ofthe ImprOved zSses absurdly says,
but because in his opinion, the tax on dividends
is apart ofthe tax on incomes, and expired on the
Slst Of December 1852 In the act as it stood until
Is amendment last July, section lle imposed a
tax on "gains, profit and income" while section
100 imposed like tax on dividends" third
secton-No. ll9-declared that :" the taxes on in
comes herein imposed" shall be levied until aid
including the year 1870, and no longer" Judge
SraoSa holds that the word "incomcs," in this
last section, includes dividends" in section 100
and that the tax on both can be levied only OF
sums actually received during the year preceding
that in which the levy is made. His construction
OF the act is q rather forced one, and II Il
doubtful whether il will be sustained on appeal

city Of my illustrious friend and his beautiful

seeing them, recall the memory ofmy own illus
trious President to such a degree that | could
fancy myself not in Hayti, but in the United
States"
Now, which Of these contradictory utterances
is really the sincere expression Of Mr.. BAssErr's
mindS Or has the False Exporting Tribune only
made another false report MIR. BAssErr is to ap-
pear before the people in Cooper Institute this
week. and he owes il TO himself and to the whole
colored race, whose pioneer in diplomatic honors
he is, TO explain this seeming discrepancy. He
should also seize the occasion to remove the
impression which has gone out that he moulded
his Washington speech to please his masters lin
gering hopes Of succeeding with the corrupt ST.
Domingo job. This he can do by impressing on
the public the capability Of the black race for
selfgovernment, and the strong desire Of the Do
minicans and Haytians not to be annexed to the
United States; both of which questions he has
had every opportunity Of examining. And let
him at the same time candidly express himself on
B'Rz, whom he has doubtless learned in Hayti to
hold in hatred and contempt.
Silence in this would be criminal both to his
own people and to every other citizen ofthe United
States; while a bold, straightforward, manly
statement Of the true condition of affairs in Hayti
and st. Domingo will drive the last nail in the
coffin Of gross swindlc, and will earn both for
Mr.. D,ssErT and his race the honor aud respect
Of the entire nation, white and black alike, for

coffin containing Admiral FARRAGurs corpse
