Tho TnNoIl Tnhncco.

WAsIINGToN, August 2S.-Acting As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Richardson
has recently submitted for the opinion of the
Attorney General the following question:
"At what rates. in view Of the amendment.
of June &, 1872, should internal revenue
tlXcs be required upon tobacco which WAS
stored in an export bonded warehouse on or
since June 6, 1872, when withdrawn for
consumption or sale in this counlry:"
After reviewing the law upon the subject,
the Attorncy-Genera says:
Assuming that the word a0,c means The
9Th Of Junc. and it follows that there is 10
way i'll which tobacco stored i'll Il bonded
warehouse between said date ami tie lst OF
July can, after tlc latter date, be withdrawn
for expiration without prepayment o! the
tax. for on the 1st of July the old law was
repealed, and the right to withdraw tobacco
after that date fer cXportatiOn, with re-
spect to the time when it was stored, Is pre-
ci>ely the same as the right to withdraw
tobacco for consumption or sale. do not
sec what difference it makes to the Govern
mpnt whether tobacco Is taken from q
bonded warehouse or mandatory after the
lst of July, upon the payment of the new
tax, unless. possibly. the payment may be
little longer delayed in the one than i'll the
other case.
son the 9th of June, it is said. there were
large quantities of tobacco in trdnsitu from
the manufactures to bonded warehouses, and
.it certainly seems incquitahlc that tobacco
which reached the warehouse on the 9th OF
June and was withdrawn after 1st OF july
should pay tax of only 20 centS per pound
while the same kind of tobacco that raached
the warehouse two DAYS afterwards and l.
withdrawn ut the same time is compelled to
pay Il tax of s. cents 4 pound. Congress,
with view to the injustice that might De
worked by change in the law before II
could he known to those whose interests
were to be affected thereby, provided that
section 81 should 20 into effect on the lst OF
July, ard the residue of the act, with few
exceptions, on the 1st Of August. Where
it was evident that no harm could result, the
act i'm few instances, and where it Is so en-
pressly provided, takes effect upon its pas
sage.
"Une of the evils of our legislation is the
FREQUENT changes in the revenue system OF
the country, and unless it clearly appears
that the intent OF Congress is otherwise they
ought to be construed so as TO affect with
equal Justice u! those upon whom they are
intended TO operate. My opinion is hat all
tobacco stored in bonded warehouses and
Withdrawn for sale or consumption before
the lst OF july, 1872, is subject to the taxes
prescribed by the act OF July "a, l5GS, and
that all tobacco IN bonded warehouses ON
the said lst OF July Withdrawn after thst
date for the same purpose is subject to the
tax prescribed by the act Of June q, lS12."

SENT ON FOR INDICTMENT Justice Crew
was engaged for several hours yesterday
in the examination Of the case against Maui
rice Kelley (colored), charged with commit
ting an outrage upon the person of Emma
johnson, colored girl about sixteen years
of age. The offence is alleged to have been
committed about twelve months ago, but the
accused WIS not arrested until Monday last.
The testimony of Emma Johnson was to the
effect that some time in the month OF August
or September, 1871, Reiley, whom she had
previously known, came to her house ana
applied handkerchief saturated with some
drug to her nose, and held it there until she

plished his purpose. She further stated that
Immediately upon recovering from the effects
of the drug she informed her friends OF the
circumstance and made efforts to bring
Kelley to Justice, but die not succeed in find
Eng him until last Sunday. A number OF
witnesses for the defence were introduced
for the purpose of impeaehing the testimony
of the prosecutrix, but their statements were
so conflicting that the Justice decided to SEND
Reiiey on for indictment by the grand jury.
