expiring Congress,
The building was packed from early

was no tagging even on the part Of the
large number going out. Every man
seemed to stand to his post and help,
either by voice or vote, to push the buSi-

adjournment was announced,
Nospecial closing exercises occurred In
the Senate, Mr.. Wilson making no fare

descended OIL bills in all stages Of pro-

utmost good feeling prevailed In the hall

Of messengers in making their way
through the crowds and the regular pro.
cCedings with measures, which all could

The Tax on WhisIky and Tobacco

Washington speciat 70 Yesterdays Gin. oaaptls,
The Commissioner Of internal Revenue,
to-day, received some 800 telcgrams from
various partsof the country, in reference
to tax on tobacco and spirits, applying
particularly to the operation o. the new
act, It must be understood that the ses-
sion Of Congress adjournips on the 4th OF
March is only continuation Of the leg.
islative day Of March 8, so that the
revenue act will be an act Of March 8,
1875, and known az such hereafter. In or.
der to answer various inquiries in these
kilograms he has decided as follows (;
That Collectors may resume sale OF
stamps for distilled spirits in cistern-
room or warehouse prior to midnight Of
the Sd inst, at seventy cents per gallon
and may make requisition for stamps for
spirits produced from that date, All
spirits produced in the cistern-FoOm or
warehouse after midnight on the Sd inst,
will be liable to ftax Of 90 cents per gal.
Ion, according 10 tho provisions Of the
new bill. Tobacco or cigars In the
hands OF manufacturers, legally. packed
and properly stamped prior to midnight
Of the Sd inst, will be charged at the rate
Of twenty cents, but after that timo the
tax Of twenty.four cents will be imposed,
Fortunately for cigar.makerS, the law
does not reach them regarding stock on
band, because, in this connection, Il
specifies tobacco and not cigars and
cigarettes, The rulings Of the Treasury
Department in customs cases have been
directly opposite to this. The law does
not recognize part Of day, and the
Commissioner OF Internal Revenue com.
mences his new taxation at midnight Of
the day when the President signed the
BILL the Treasury Department, In customs
cases, commences on the midnight Of the
day before. The matter was referred to
tho Attorney.General to-day, and upon
his decision, will rest the question
whether this act Of March 8 will com.
mence its operations at midnight Of
March 2, or at midnight last night. OF
course II is important IN internal revenue
matters to everybody who bought stamps
on yesterday, and will be important In
customs matters to everybody whose I'M
ported goods were entered at Custom
houses yesterday. q
