THE TAX ON DIVIDENDS Of 1870
Commissioner PLEAsANTON decided that
sections 10 and 10 oil the act Of July, 1870,
did not authorize the collection Of tax
upon dividends declared for the last five
months of 1870, and revoked previous
decision directing the assessment and col.
lection Of this tax. This ruling was re-
Ierred by Secretary boutwell,. to the
Attorney General, whose opinion, just
given, reverses that ruling, and decides
that the dividend tax can be collected lor
the last five months Of 1870,
This decision Of the Attorney General
II carried into effect, will force new assess
ments upon all corporations which de-
clared dividends during the last five
months Of 1870, and will reject u large
number Of claims for remission and re.
funding Of dividend taxes, The entire
amount involved in tho decision Is csti
mated at about three and hall millions
of dollars, though the case of the bank
which occasiOned the opinion involves In
itself only small sum,

TO the Voters Of ohio County.

The undersigned, on behalf of the
Pittsburgh, Wheeling n Kentucky Rail.
road Company, desire to call your atten.
ton to the fact that on next Saturday,
May Goth, you will be called upon to vote
on The question rs to whether you will
permit the Board Of Supervisors OF Ohio
county to subscribe, on behalf Of the
county, the sum OF one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars to the capital stock Of
this company. Should the subscription
be authorized by the popular vote, IL will
still be the duty of the Board Of Super.
visOrs to see that the interests of the
county arc made secure before they ratify
the contract. 1t Is for you to say whether
you want the road.
BY the terms Of the contract between
the Directors Of this road and the Penn.
ylvanin Central Railroad Company, you
can have the road built Il you pay two.
tilhs of the cost Of It's constructions this Is
all that isasked. A fair expression ofpub.
lie opinion Is desired at the polls next
Saturday, in order that 1t may be known
whether you want the road or not.
There are many reasons why the road
should be built and the advantages 1t will
afford to Wheeling and Ohio county are
almost innumerabIe. ltailords q new and
short line Of railroad to the East by way
OF the Pennsylvania Central, and TO
the West by way Of the Pittsburgh,
Cincinnati and st. Louis Railroad
1t will reduce the rates Of freight
and travel nearly thirty per cent be-
low those now paid II will stimulate
trade and enhance the value of every lot
in the city and Of every acre Of farming
land in tho county The merchant re.
ceiving goods ut less cost, can sell them
cheaper TO the consumer, and thus dis
tribute to all the advantages that cheap
transportation affords. All the money
subscribed by the county, and two.
thirds more, will be expended with.
in the county, and give EN-.
pioyment to hundreds. The road can
now be obtained at very small cost 10 the
people aud II Is not likely that so flavor.
able an opportunity will again occur,
Beside these general considerations,
the people Of Wheeling and OF Ohio
county have special interest in the
completion Of this road. Your only out
let east and west Is now the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad That company enjoys q
monopoly ofynur business. Your trade
may I've iettered by almost any restrict
ions that corporation sees fit 10 impose.
You are compelled to pay for freight and
travel whatever that company chooses to
exact, and you have now no redress
But by the construction OF this competing
line you have II In your power to check

all exhorbitant demands and compel the
railroads to give you justice and lair
play, Within the past two weeks, since
two routes TO the east from Pittsburgh
have been opened, the fare between Pitts
burgh and Baltimore has been reduced
two dollars ($2 OO), and there has been a
corresponding reduction in freights. The
same results will be secured TO Wheeling
by the opening Of this road.
A full expression of opinion next Sat.
urday is desired If the subscription is
voted, the Supervisors will fix the details
of the contract Can you not trust them
to guard the interests of the county, If
you want the road, go to the polls and say
so. If you want cheap freights, If you

county, with less than One.fiflh OF your
population and wealth, will give $4,000
for this purpose. You are asked for but
little more. Vote this, and be assured
that the road will be made.

THE SAN DOMINGO Toe DISEASE
This horrible mnlady occurs in most Of
the West India Islands, but It's chosen
and peculiar home is San Domingo. 1t
first appears, as the name implies, in the
toes, which II rots oil but It's devastation
does not stop there, but spreads into the
legs and finally into the whole frame,
causing lingering and dreadful death.
In adults II Is said TO be inCurablc, though
there is II specific treatment for children,
by the application Of boiling water,
which, irtried in time, may be successful.
II the San Domingo job were really
dead, we would not give it u parting
kick. But ms its resusciatiOn is possible
in the next Congress, we enter this toe
disease on our list of objections to II.
We wish no harm to the San Domingo
Commissioners, but II they had staid on
the island till the present season, and had
their great toes just nipped II little, their
report would have been more blue than
rose, and n neGarious job killed outright.

NEW YORK, January ll.--During the

amount of $4,000 have been shipped
from this port to Hayre.
Investigation in the case of John
Smith, sailor, who was mortally wounded
with a cutlass on board the ship Shate-
muc, during the mutiny on December
9Th, was concluded yesterday. The
jury rendered a verdict that the deceased
came to death from fracture of the
skull by blows from cutlass in the hands
of John Wright, the first mate. Wright
was committed TO the Tombs to await
action of the Grand Jury.
A Washington special to the Times

ordered to be held in readiness for the

with the Commissioners, will probably
drop down off the battery to-day and
commence taking her powder on board
unless communication with the magazine
on Ellis Island should be suspended by

will likely order her to take ammunition

ARKANSAS SENATOR.

Governor Clayton has been elected to
the Senate of the United States by the
Arkansas Legislature. The election Of
a Radical was a conclusion long since
established. That miserably governed
State Is in the hands Of the enemies Of
the wAite race in the South, and by means
Of the negro vote and an armed terror
ism, control its government. Perhaps
Clayton is no worse than the balance Of
the party, and perhaps he may WELD
some influence with it at Washington in
the interest Of the people he affects to
represent. But whatever he is at home
there is no guarantee that he will remain
so when brought into contact with 'h'
influence Of the Administration.
