The Tax ON Dividends, DC.
OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE,

WASHINGTON, Sept. I, 1870.
Sir: Your letter OF the 1st instant, respect
ing the assessment and collection OF the tax
imposed upon dividends by section u of the
lct OF July II, 1870, was received on the
5th.
1t is enacted in said section "that there
shall be levied and collected for and during
The year 1871 tax of two and one-half Of
one per centum on the amount OF all inter-
est or coupons paid on bonds or other evil
ylences of debt issued and payable i'll one or
more years after date by any of the corpora
lions in this section hereinafter enumerated,
ind on the amount of all dividends of earn
iugs, income, or gains hereafter declared by
my bank, trust company, savings lnstltu-
5ion, insurance company, railroad COM
pany, canal company, turnpike company,
canal navigation company, and siack-Water
company, whenever and wherever the same
shall be payable, and to whatsoever persons
The same may be due, including non-reSl-
dents. whether citizens or aliens, and on all
undivided profits of any such corporation
which have accrued and been added to any
surplus, contingent, or other fund; and
every such corporation, having paid the
tax as aforesaid, is hereby authorized TO
deduct and withhold from any payment on
account of interest, coupons, and DIVIDENDS,
an amount equal to the tax of two and one
half per centum on the same"
You will notice that by the terms of the
section the tax upon the interest and co,.
pons paid upon bonds or other evidences OF
debt Issued by the companies, corporations,
ETC., therein enumerated, is to be levied
- for and during" the year 1871" that the
tax upon the dividends Of earnings of said
companies, &C., is also to be levied and col
lected during the year 1871, but is to be le-
We'd as upon all dividends declared after
| the passage of the act.
1t is therefore ruled that no tax is to
be withheld from interest or coupons
which fall due during the last five months
of the present calendar year, but that they
are to be returned, like interest from other
sources, in the next annual income returns
Of the parties recelVing them.
1t is also held that although tax Of two
and one-half per centum is imposed upon
dividends declared by said companies, cor
porations, ETC., on and after August !, 1870,
it is to be "levied and collected
during the year 1871" 1t is not necessary
to decide at present at what time in 1871
the taxes upon these dividends OF the last
five months of 1870 are to be levied. Fur.
Their legislation may perhaps be required
upon that point.
] shall cause this letter to be published in
the Internal Revenue Record for the in.
formation and guidance Of officers of thi:
Bureau. j. w. DOUGLASS,
Acting Commissioner.
The above was written before Judge
strongs decision was rendered. This de.
cision overrules MIR. Douglass's ruling.

JUDGE STRoNG's DEcIsIoN.-The decision
rendered few days ago by Judge STRONG,
If the United States Supreme Court, sitting
is a circuit judge, was very important. 1t
was in effect that all the taxes collected
since the 1st of January last on the divi-
lends of railroads, banks, trust companies,
savings institutions, insurance companies,
lanai. turnpike, and slack-water nayiga-
ion companies, and interest paid on the
bonds of said companies and the taxes re-
aimed on salaries of Government officials
or the same time. are invalid. If this deci-
:ion be sustained by the Supreme Court
his money will have to be refunded.

DEATH or FORMER CITIZEN OF kIcH-
xoNp.-The st. Louis papers contain no.
tees OF the death of LOUIS G. PIcoT, ma
tive of this city who emigrated to St. Louis
some twenty years ago. He was the son of
the late GrLEs PEcor, known in his day as
one of the best, kindest, and most unobtru-
sire of men. Mr.. L. G. PIcoT was for some
years engaged in mercantile business, but
afterwards turned his attention to the
law, and prosecuted his studies with unre-
mitted devotion, after his arrival in St.
Louis, in the office of the distinguished
Judge MuLLANPHY, Of that city. The most
marked respect was paid to Mr.. P1coT's
memory by. the bar, mud some OF the
most distinguished lawyers of the
place passed very fervent eulogiums
upon his character. He was declared
to have had no superior as land lawyer
in the State-to have been perfectly con-
versant with the laws concerning land titles,
nd especially with the laws applicable to
he old French and Spanish cases. Repre-
senting him as a quiet citizen and hard
working and practical member of the bar,
the eulosists bear testimony to his Integrity
and the purity of his character. Not long
after his residence in st. Louis he became
administrator of very large estate, which
he managed with signal fidelity and judg-
nent. Several speakers referred to this
:act with marked commentator. The law
vers of the city held meeting and appoint
I'd gentlemen to announce Mr.: PIcoT's
death on behalf of the bar in each court OF
the city. He was aged fifty-fve, and he
leaves wife and family, and record that
both relatives and friends may be proud OF.
