Tho Rebate.

The Commissioner OF Internal Revenue
has decided the following point:
1.-THE expression original and unbroken
factory packages is held 10 embrace every
whole stamped original package. large or
small, which remains as it came from the
factory, with the same contents. ard all OF
the same originally packed therein. or
course no package from which any part OF

Blu, the greatest care will be taken TO
prevent fraud. Nobody will be allowed to
piece out his stock on the LIST OF May 80 rs

missioner says:
"Thc witnesses should sec that no addi-
tons 60 stock are made before the inven-
tory is completed, n II must embrace only
stock on hand at the beginning OF May lsi.
That reads as il purchases made on the
last days OF April to bring stocS up TO
the point where rebate would be allowed

the stool, previously on hand. But that

Htxtc N Pure sVaiIuciunti0u:

The Worlds London special says: Those
likely to be best informed to-day regard
the statement Of Lady Florence Dixie as to
the attack made upon her near Windsor as
a pure fabrication. Not trace Of any strug-
Gle can be found on the damp mould on
which the struggle is alleged TO have taken
place. Two large men dressed in women's
clothes could not possibly have reached
her house without being seen. Three men-
a soldier, n publican, and gardener who
were all within few yards OF the scene OF
the alleged struggle at the time alleged,
have all been examined. and neither saw
nor heard anything OF it. Lady Florence
herself is now bcWildCred about it, and it
is unnecessary TO say that she has the
reputation OF being hali-mad. 1t is now
known that she wrote to Parncl on bis re-
lease ayowing herself to be strong M.
tionahst, and urging him to act with her.

The Chinese.

The Supreme Court Of the United States
will soon decide two cases from California
involving the validity, under the treaty
with China, OF certain anti-Chincse ordi-
nances which have been passed in san

the fourteenth amendment, which guaran-
tees to all "pcrsons,' whether citizens or
so'ourners, the equal protection OF the

thst California as q State hos granted this
equal protection Of It's laws to the Chinese,
but that a city in that State has not done
so-is there any way in which Il city can

Exemptions.

After bordering the subject for nearly
week. the Petersburg Mail has reached the
following CONCLUSION in regard to the pro-
position TO exempt newly-establisheG facto-
rics from taxation:
+" We would say to our brother OF the
DispdtCh that, after due consideration OF the
constitutionality OF the exemption from
taxation of manufacturers plant. we are
decidedly Of the opinion that the question
is one which can be settled by the courts
only. Hence any discussion by newspa-
per, As to the merits of the case would be
fruitful OF good in one respect only-ln
drawing out the sentiment OF the people
with reference to the exemption
That paragraph expresses in few words
our own conclusion on the same subject.
We are, however, rather inclined to the
orinion, in view OF The decision OF the SUI
uremc Court OF the United States towhich
we referred last week, that the Legislature
Of Virginia cannot exempt any such pro-
perry from taxation, whatcycr the Legisla-
turo, of other States may have power TO
do; and we guess that Judge BCREs agrees
with Judge STABLES on this point.
