Meantime the grades of scholarshjp are Being made out in those studies the examinations in ‘which have been completed. PUBLIO EXERCISES ‘took piace at four P. M. in the chapel, on the occasion of wroeentation of diplomas by the Dialectic Society to ‘members of the graduating class belonging to the society. after prayer by Rev J, W. French, the academy chap- Tain, a presentation address was delivered by Cadet Wherles King, followed by a valedictory by Cadet W. R, Brown. Both addresses were @nely written end well de- Bivered. A leading characteristic of each was the pride ‘felt in the academy and its usefulness in fitting young ‘men for tne . The fact was enunciated as beyond -eontradiction, from proofs furnished in the late war, that ‘the graduates of the academy had furnished our greatest and most successful leaders of our various armies. Men- tion of this fact and recital of the namesof our eminent military chieftains who had received their military train- fg here olicited the warmest applause. There was a large assemblage, mostly ladies, in attendafice. Most @elightful music was furnished by the academy band. By the way, this has been the first exhibition of the band ‘hat has becn given for some time. Just before the out- Dreak of the rebellion—that is, before the first gun was fired at Fort Sumter, but when the incipient promoni- tions of the terrible bloody strife between the North and the South became palpably visible, and the souls of yous Southern men bigan to be fired with warm zeal the rebel cause—a colloquy was written by General Kilpatrick, then a cadet, entitled ‘A Jersey Scout; a Tale @f the Revolution.” This was being recited in the room of the society. It was on Saturday ovening, the weekly va- ation day of the cadets. Agreeable to usage prevailing in those days, many of the cadets had been to Butter- e days, milk Falls, and indulged in rather free lbations, having @ tendency to excite the blood and rouse patriotic feel- to fever heat, The progress of the colloquy com- led’ Jack Garnett, a Virginian, and Kilpatrick to have personal encounter on the stage, in which the lat- ter was to disarin the former. Tho Buttermilk Falls visitors came in when the two contestants were having Me bot and -heary: | ‘They interpreted the clashing of their hostile swords as a thing of sober earnestness, ‘The Boutherners, seeing their champion getting worsted, rush- ‘ed to his rescue. ‘The contestants became more numerous, The combat waxed more furious. Tents, chairs, stools and benches wildly mixed in the confusion. The lights ‘were blown out, It was some time before order was re- ‘sored. The police records have rarely developed a more “warlike picture in the way of black eyes, bloody noses and broken heads. The belligerents were not the only ‘enes who sutlered. The society was a sufferer also, and Dy an order of the commandant of the fort its literary wervices were suspended. At length the scattered frag- ments were gathered together. There has been no ro- urrence of internal war, and the society is now prosper- us, and has become the popular and useful institution Mt was formerly. It has ® One hall, in which literary ex. ercises are held weekly, and a fino library, open at all ‘times to its members, ‘This is the only literary society dm the academy. ‘MAJOR GENERAL eughtar: and Bh ed by Major Finley Ai r and niece, accompan. jor le; \n- derson, of General Hancock's staff, ae among ie new arrivals, Captain Striker, Captain Benyard and Lieuten- ant Lydecker, of the Army of the Potomac, are also .

Board of Delegates of the American Is- raclites. ‘The Board of Delegates of the American Israelites met yesterday morning in the vestry room of the new Thirty- fourth street synagogue, Rev. Isaac Leeser, of Philadel- phia, the Vice President, in the chair, and Myer &. Isaacs, Esq., Secretary. Delegates were present from all ‘the principal Jewish congregations in the country—among ‘whom were Judge Cardozo, of the Court of Common Pleas; Rev. SM. Isaacs, Rev. J. J. Lyons and other prominent men among the Hebrews. After a fervent prayer by the Rev. Mr. Lyons, the @bairman made a few remarks, alluding to the mournful ‘event—the death of the President, Henry J. Hart, Esq.— ‘which had called him to the chair, and briefly referred fo the operations of the Executive Committee, prominent ‘mong which was the protest against any encroachments the rights of the Jews by any fanatical sect. reverend gentleman especially referred to the jort of tho Presbyterian Council and the Council of foung Ubristians in Philadelphia, which had resolved to unite all Christian sects in order to better oppove the Catholic influences. This measure, if successful, would @alminate in making the Jews aliens instead of free citi- Bons, and to neutralize any such efforts would be one of the primary objects of this convention. ‘A committee on credentials was then appointed, com- of Mesars. King, Josephi and Russak, who reported forty-two congregations were represented in the Representatives from seventeen congregations were esent, incinding gentlemen from Boston, Pittsburg, more, Paterson and Philadelphia. The report of the Executive Committee was then pre- @ented, in which it was stated that the war had over- ‘‘hrown in part the organization of the convention, but still Mt had maintained its usefulness, The committee had taken ection in the following matters, which they had partly vemedied, viz:—The order of General Grant directing the exclusion of Jews from the Department of Tennes- eee; also the persecution of Jews in Moroceo, which re- monstrance resulted in the giving of instructions to our Fepresentative in Tangier to aid in staying this persecu- tion. The committee have also taken action in reference fo the petition of the Convention of Presbyterians to embody the Christian religion into the coustitution; but RB matter was killed b; e Judiciary Committee of the nited States Senate, by an adverse report. The com- mittee recommended the greatest vigilance over similar tea which, thougo primarily aimed at the Catho- ics, had, no doubt, at their bottom, sinister projects ‘agalnst the Jews. The committee recommended the col- Bection of facts reciting hervical deeds of Jews during the ‘war, 00 a8 toform aroll of honor, but more forthe Burhose ‘of refuting the aspersions thrown upon @ character of riots and men. ‘he committee also recommended intercourse with foreign ‘iow of a similar nature. The report pays a bigh com- pliment to the government of the United States for the eadiness with which they had alwa era aad seias pon matters pertaining to the we ¢ Israelites, Menich wore brought to their no- fice. The establishment of schools for the purpose of @ounteracting any efforts at proselytism was rocom- mended as the most effective means. Mr. A. 8. Cohen moved the acceptance and reference ef the report to a committee of three, to recommend such ‘measures os they may deom necessary. The committes inted as follows:—A. 8, Collen, Henry E. Hart wee The pene cose were then elected :—President Mon. Albert Cardozo; Vice Presidents, Henry Joseph! and Rev. Isaac Leeser; Troasurer, A. 8. Saroni; Execu- ve Comm!

The following history of the corps will prove of interest :— ‘The Dutchess county regiment (One Hundred and Fif- tieth New York) arrived in this city on Friday, at half- past eleven P, M., and took quarters at the Battery Bar- racks. They left by steamer for Poughkeepsie at noon, The regiment was organized in September, 1862, by Hon. J. H. Ketcham, of the Twelfth Congressional district, and commanded by him until after the fall of Atlanta, and for a short time at the siege of Savannah, where he was severely wounded. While suffering from his wound he was breveted Brigadier General; but, failing to “gain health and strength for the field, he tendered his resigna- tion, believing that officers holding rank and drawing pay should be with their commands. ‘The present Colonel is Alfred B. Smith, of Poughkeep- sie, who went out as major of the regiment, and has risen to ‘his present well earned promotion by @ steady attention to duty and the constant exhibition of the qualities of head and heart that con- stitute the true soldier, He has been with the regiment in every fight and skirmish from Gettysburg to the last engagement in which his com- mand participated, the battle of Bentonsville, He has had the comruand ‘all through the campaign, from At- lanta to Savannah, and thence to Goldsboro, Raleigh, Richmond, &c, Tho regiment was first attached to the Eighth army corps, then joined the Twelith just before the battle of Gettysburg. In Septembor, 1863, the Twelfth and Eleventh corps were transtorrd to ‘Tennessee, and in April, 1864, were, with other troops, consolidated into the Twentieth corps, under Major Genoral Hooker. The new corps thus formed kept the old Twelfth corps badge, the “star,” and never has the lustre that it gained ai Chancellorsville or Gettysburg been dimmed, though it ‘was tested thoroughly at Lookout Valley, Lookout Moun- tain, Missionary Ridge, Tunnel Hill, Ressacca, Dallas, Kalb’s Farm, Kennesaw, Peach ‘Tree creck and Atlanta, as well as in the long march with Sherman’s army from West to East, The regiment will be mustered out and paid off at Poughkeopsie next week. It has seen a paymaster but once in about eighteen months, The present roster is as follows:— Field and Staf—Colonel, Alfred B. Smith; Lieutenant Colonel Joseph H. Cogswell; Major, Henry A.

A RAID IN THE FOURTH WARD. On Saturday night Captain Thorne, of the Fourth preg cinct, and tho officers of his comman dmade a raid on the disreputable streetwalkers who infest that section of the city, to the great annoyance of its quiet and peaceable in- habitants, and sucoecded in arresting about seventy-five of them, The prisoners were much under the influence of liquor, and after being lodged in the station house they sang, shouted, made use of profane, indecent and abu- sive lang" which course of conduct they continued till taken before Justice Dowling yesterday morning. Complaints for disorderly conduct ‘and vagrancy were preferred against the women, and the magistrate sent them to Blackwell's Island for six months each. There are more of the same sort left in the Fourth ward, and Captain Thorne will occasionally show them such atten- tions as his sense of duty demands. SOLDIERS VICTIMIZED. On Saturday night Edward Couillard, a soldier who re- cently retarned from the war with an honorable dis- charge took lodgings at 15 White street and slept in the same bed with Morris Dupeau, Yesterday morning, when the veteran soldier awoke, he missed his bedfeilow and his monoy ($200) at the same time. Suspecting Du- peau of the theft, Couillard communicated with officer Moloney, of the Fifth precinct, and, after a short search, they found the absconding individual in a disreputable house near by. word was spoken either by the officer or Couill upeau said, “Search me; I have not got the mone He was subsequently taken before Justice Dowling locked up for trial. Otiicer Flynn,,of the Fourth precinct, on Saturday night arrested Leonard Ackerson, a genteel appearing young man, on the charge of stealing $40 in legal tender notes from Livingston L. Jones, a soldier attached to Duryee's Zouaves, ‘The parties wore together at the Dey Strect House, whore it is alleged Ackerson took the money from the pocket of Jones’ vest, which lay on the counter. The prisoner was seen by George Wharton, attached to the hotel, to take some bills from the pocket of the vest, but he did not know the amount taken. The prisoner was locked up by Justice Dowling to await his trial. A NIGHT PROWLER Cavant. Catharine Sharp, residing at No. 73 Ninth avenue, was aroused from her slumbers late on Saturday night by hearing some one in her room. Raising her head, sho discovered a man at her bureau, searching the drawers for plunder. Catharine determined to secure the in- truder, and, leaping from the bed, seized him. He struggled to escape, but Catharine held fast till officer Stram, of the Sixteenth precinct, came up and took charge of the prisoner, who gave his name as George Kein. Catharine subsequentiy missed jewelry vaiued at $36; but the prisoner @id not have it in his possession. ein was taken before Justic Ledwith, and committed for trial in default of $2,000 bail. CHARGE OF BURGLARY. Francis Niner, a young man, twenty-three years of age, was arrested by officer Conner, of the Seventh precinct, charged with having forced an entrance to the drinking aco 70 Kast Broadway, and stealing therefrom billiard sand other property valued at fifty dollars. A portion of the property being found in the prisoner's possession, Justice Mansdeld committed him for trial in default of $500 bail. THEATRICAL GENTLEMEN IN TROUBLE. Samuel Jacobs, employed as “supe” at the New Bowery theatre, residing at No. 158 Orchard street, pre- ferred a complaint against Ferdinand Hoofler, captain of the “supes” atthe New Bowery theatre, charging him with an assault and battery. Jacobs, it appears, called upon Hoofier for moneys due for services rendered, when a quarrel ensued between them. Blows were exchanged, and during the melee it is alleged that Hoofler struck the complainant with a sword, but without inflicting serious injuries, r McCabe, of the Third district Police Court, arrested Hoofler, and Justice Mansfield held him to answer the complaint.

FIRE IN DIVISION STHERT--ARREST OF THE PRO- PRIRTOR OP THE STORE ON suUSVICION OF ARSON. , About one o’clock yesterday morning a fire was dis- covered in the boos and shoe store No. 119 Division street, owned by simon Nagelsehmidt, The alarm was prompuy given, when the premises were broken open and the flames soon extinguished, and before much damage was done. Roundsman E. Whitcomb, of the Seventh precinct, deeming the circumstances susp'#ivus, arrested Mr. Nazelschmidt, who, dt appears, was in the immediate vicinity when the Gre broke out.’ Qn an ex- amivation of the premises, made by the Asyistant Fire Marshal, some preparation was discovered, gousisting of pieces of split pine wood aad paper, plac 4 bebind the Store ixtures, and all of it partly burned, showing. on- clusively that the tire was one ¢f design. Mr. Nagel- schinidt says he elosed his store at about eleven e’clock to attend a meeting of the Turnverein in Houston street, and on his return to his store, im Which he sleeps, he did not go sippatiy in but passed by it to an oyster saloon on the next block, and he had opty been there five or ten minutes when the alarm of fre was given, From ap- pearance: the fire did not burn more than ten er fifteen minutes, The acoused was%aken before Justive Mans- field at Essex Market Police Court and committed to await a further examination by the Fire Marshal. Mr. Na-elschmidt bas an insuranco of $2,000 ov hs stock and $500 on his fixtures and furniture in the Greenwich Insurance Company. The damage will be about $25. FIRE IN WATER STREET—ARREST OF THE PRO- PRIBTOR OF THE STORE ON A CHARGE OF ARSON. Between three and four o’clock on Sunday morning fire was discovered in the grocery store No. 695 Water street, owned by Charles Wood, The firemen were soon at the premises, and extinguished the fire before it ex- tended beyond the store and cellar. The building is a double tenement house, and has thirty-two families re- siding on the upper floors. Had the fire got under head- way many lives would, no doubt, have been facrificed. ‘Th* evident appearance of preparation to fire the pre- mises cast suspicion on the proprietor of the store, Charles Wood, and he was accordingly arrosted by officer Daniel M. Brown, of the Thirteenth precinct. Assistant Firo Marshal H, 6. Baker made an examination of tho premises, aided by oificers Waldron and O’Brien, and dis- ‘covered very extensive preparations to burn the pro- perty. Belind the barrels, on the left hand side of the store, about twelve feet in length, were found quantities of newspapers and pieces of split pine wood, boxes and broken hoops, carefully placed in alternate layers, Under the'counter, there were found portions of a barrel aud some paper, all partly borned; the cinders here also indicated that a quantity of wood had been burned. Under the liquor bar was found a preparation of barrel staves, pine wood and paper, all partly burned, On the right hand side of the store, under a meat bench, were split pine wood, coopers’ shavings, straw and paper piled up in such manner as to spread a fire rapidly, and over this preparation were piled boxes, baskets apd brooms; but fortunately no fire had been started at this place, {na bedroom opening out of a bedroom adjon- ing the back room or kitchen, a separate fire bad been made which had burned before it was extinguished. Mr. Wood says he was asieep in the bedroom adjoining the kitchen, and through which room is the only entrance to the bedroom found to be on fire. On examining the cellar the preparation was found to be more extensive. There were four separate fircs; in the front cellar, which belonged to the store, were found four or five’ barrels iilled with coopers’ chips; these and some empty boxes were piled up, and directly over them was a large holo in the store floor, apparently bored with an auger. At this plac: the chips in one of the barrels had been on fire. On the op- posite side of the cellar was about half acord, in bulk, of split pine wood, piled cobweb fashion, and next to it on ono side stands a broken barrel filled with chips, and ‘on the other is a pile of lumber, under which a fire had been made with split pine wood and paper. Ina wood- shed of one of the tenants, in the adjoining cellar, which is only divided by aboard partition, were found two barrels of ch.ps and wood, partly burned, and on the opposite side of the cellar’ was a quantity of chips on a large packing box, also partly burned. In the cellar was a barrel of’ kerosene, and from the strong smell existing it had no doubt been freely used by the incendiary. It appears astonishing when we see the amount of preparation made hat the whole premises were not destroyed by fire. No doubt the number of separate fires kindled were the means of their detection, and the incendiary thus thwarted bis own plans by doing too much. To make all the preparations would have required at loast four hours. There was no one on the premises but Mr. Wood. His wife left for Philadelphia about a week ago. He says he closed his store at eleven o'clock, at which time he went to bed, and only awoke on heuring the alarm of fire, when he escaped through the back window into the yard. He does not know anything about how the fire ‘Was caused, and says he did not have any chips in his cellar nor store. The stock and fixtures aro insured for oe the Pacific Insurance Company. | Damage about ‘The building is owned by Mr. Linkenstein; it is damaged about $150. When the fire broke out it caused great fright among the tenants; but fortunately none of them were injured. ‘/"ie prisoncr was conveyed by officer Brown before Ju-.cs Mausileld, at Essex Market Police Court, who coustit'' the accused to await a further investigation by the ire Marshal. , FIRE IN CHARLTON 87REET—ONB HORSE BURNED TO DEATH. At near cight o’clock last evening a fire broke out in some sheds in the rear of No. 76 Chariton stre:t, The flames spread to some stables belonging to George W. Lewis, and one horse, valued at one hundred and fifty dollars, was burned to death. The total damage is estimated at five hundred dollars; no insurance. The fire is supposed te have been caused by boys. FIRE AT THE FOOT OF DESBROSSES STREET. Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Saturday night a fir broke out on board of the tugboat Lefayette, lying at the foot of Desbrosses street. The flames were soon extinguished. Damage about $20. The vessel is owned Be orden & Bradley, The cause of the fire is un- wn. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Soxpay, June 11, 1865. The stock market developed an improving tendency during the past week, which was particularly marked at the close, more disposition being evinced to operate for & rise than had been shown for several weeks previously. This turn of the market is assisted by the increased ease in money, the supply being abundant at five per cent on call, At the Exening Exchange on Saturday the market was active and steady. New York Central sold on the call at 92, Erio 777%, Michigan Central 10934, Hudson River 104%, Reading 9334, Rock Island 9094, Michigan Southern 62%, Ohio and Mississippi certificates 2434, Cleveland and Pitisburg 63%, Northwestern 24%, Fort Wayne 94%, Cumberland 40%, Quicksilver 8714. Government securities were dull throughout, and closed rather heavy, notwithstanding that the recovery of their price abroad and its decline here, together with the rise in gola, have nearly covered the difference against the home market, With the bonds at say 68 in London and gold at 13734, the cost of imported bonds, calculating exchange at 110 and allowing one per cent for com- missions, would be within a fraction of the selling price in New York. ’ Gold has been firm under the demand for export, but the market is without speculative activity. There is considerable “short” interest outstanding, but no strong disposition to cover. Tho export of gold and silver for the week aggregated $2,681,803, of which the Boston steamer took half a million purchased in this market, The extreme fluctuations on the stroat were:— Highest. Lowest. 36% 135% 13756 1264 1376 136% 38 137% 3 137% 137% 13736 At the last evening board it closed at 137% bid, This shows an advance of 914 from the lowest point touched on May 11.’ The strength of the market, unassisted by speculative influences, although it has, doubtless, disap- pointed some, can be easily accounted for by the law of supply and demand, ud the condition of our foreign trade. We have been exporting more gold than we have been recelvigg during the last four years, and the supply in the banks of the loyal States, excepting California, and tho Treasury, which was not far from a hundred and fifty nfillions at the outbreak of the rebellion, is now less than one-third of that sum. Our markets throughout the entire coan- try are at the same time unprecedontedly bare of foreign merchandise, in proportion to the population, and, owing to the withdrawal of labor from agricultural and other industrial pursuits for war purposes, our stocks of Produce are sufficiently scanty to command higher prices at home than, after adding froight end charges, foreigners are willing to pay for themabroad. Hence we have comparatively little to spare for shipment, ant even for that little there is no very tuft. able market. Gold has fallen without hemp nt- tended by @ Oorresponding fall in provision nd breadstuff for the reasons stated. The oxoort of our securities, which, for » iovg time, in conjunction ‘with light imports, checked the drain of apecis from our shoree, Las stopped, and we have bad saveral millions of them returned tone Our imports have at the same time increased in ahout “he same ratio as our exports have diminishe?, owing to the before mentioned scarcity of foroige ‘nerchandise and domestic produce. The conse- quence is that, in order to balance our exchanges, wo are now compelled to export gold at the rate of from two to three millions per week, and during a time like the pres. ent, when specie payments are suspended, coin, like any other commodity, will command a price regulated by sup- ply and demand. Not only are we losing our gold by ex- porting it to Europe, but tothe British provinces, and be- tween May and September our imports from the latter aro always larger than during the other months of the year, ‘owing to purchases of luinber. ‘The drain thie year, too, on account of the jumbor trade, ia larger than usual. The ‘NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 12, 1865. official reports of the Agricultural Department at Wasb- ington just published bear out this, and show the opera- tion of the Reciprocity treaty with Canada:— Sia moatha of 1864. 1,722,303 4,875,638 2,848,767 bullion. 1,623, 676,130 Balance ag'st U. States. $6,087,524 2,170,637 “The value of money is inversely as general prices— failing as they rise and rising as they fall.” The value or purchasing power of money depends, says John Stuart Mill, in the first instance on demand and supply. But demand and supply in relation to money present them- selves in a somewhat different shape from the demand and supply of other things, The supply of a commodity means the quantity offered for sale, But it is not usual to speak of offering money for sale. People are not usually said to buy or sell money. This, however, is merely an accident of language. In point of fact money is bought and sold like other things whenever other things are bought and sold for money. Whoever sells corn or tallow or cotton buys money. Whoever buys bread or wine or clothes sells money to the dealer in these articles, The money with which people are offering to buy is money offered for sale, The supply of money, then, ia the quantity of it which people are wanting to lay out—that is, all the money they have in their possession, except what they are hoarding, or at least keeping by them ag a reserve for future contin- gencies. The supply of money, in short, is all the money in circulation at the time. Now, 80 far as our foreign trade is concerned, gold is as much a logal tender as ever it was, and it, or its direct representative, must remain so, We are, therefore, a8 much dependent upon it to pay the balances of debt against us abroad as we are at present upon the paper currency to adjust our monetary affairs at home. Supply aud demand must therefore regulate its value, and under adiminished supply and an augmented demand the en- hancement of {ts value is a natural consequence; but while, asa legal tender at home, the rise and fall of its value would be only. indicated by its purchasing power, without undergoing any change of its own nominal value, it will, as an article of commerce, show it in its variations of price from the nominal standard of the currency dollar, Our comments upon the case of the United States va. Cutting have called forth a letter from Mr. A. N. Lewis, the Revenue Agent in this city, in which he agrees with our views upon and interpretation of section ninety-nine of the Internal Revenue law respecting the tax on brokers’ atock sales. At the same time he complains of our strictures being “somewhat harsh”? in relation to the omission of the revenue officers to call upon the brokers for a full account of their sales prior to the present time, while they accepted from them the tax on thelr commis- sion sales. The section referred to is, however, explicit enough. It imposes s tax of one-twentieth of one per cent upon all sales of gold or securities made by brokers, without discriminating between what they sell for them- selves and what they sell for others, and although in sec- tion seventy-nine of the same act brokers are required to “make oath or affirmation that all their transactions are made for commission,” this may be accepted as a mere piece of blundering legislation, the intent of section 99 still remaining clear on its face. But by the amendatory act of March 3, 1865, which took effect on the Ist of April, these dubious words were expunged, and after the words ‘and the securities” the words “for themselves or others” were ordered to be inserted. So far, therefore, as the law at present stands, there can be no disputing the liability of brokers to pay the tax which they have hitherto imposed upon their customers, but from which they considered themselves exempted. As to whether the words we have quoted from the seventy- Binth section will be held by the United States Circuit Court to be sufficient to relieve the brokers from the tax up to the 1st of April remains to be seen; but heroafter the law can be open to no misinterpretation in this particular, The only remedy for the brokers, therefore, Mes in the repeal or modification of the tax. Thaton gold, which was raised from one-twentieth to one-tenth of one per centum by the amendatory act, should not be heavier than that on railway and other securities, while government bonds should be entirely exempted. It is the custom of brokers ia their customers’ accounts to calculate the tax on the currency value of the coin; but this ts not necessarily implied by the amendatory law, which is in the words:—‘Upon any sales or contracts for ‘the sale of gold and silver bullion and coin one-tenth of ope per centum on the amount of such sales or con- tracts.” The latter tax originated in the desire to check speculations in gold while the duration and issue of the war were matters of uncertainty; but now that the war is ended all restrictions upon the free exchange of the pre- cious metals should be removed, and it is sheer folly for the government to depreciate the value of its own securi- ties by taxing them, the effect of taxation upon the former being to increase its market price and upon the latter to lower it. Finally, we seo no reason for retracting our former remarks upon the failure of the revenue officers to call for a full statement of brokers’ sales in the first instance, even if they consented to receive conditionally that por- tion of the tax which applied to their commission busi- ‘ness only pending a legal decision of the question. That the intent of the law was to tax all sales by brokers, whether for themselves or others, was made plain by the amendment of March 3, 1865; and such a forced inter- pretation of the law as that given to it by the brokers is equally inconsistent with justice and common sense, for there is no equality in it If Congress levied such a tax it would be making brokers bear less than their fair share of the burden of taxation and their customers suffer more than their share; and the alloviation of the one class would not carers paribus be so great a good to it ay the increased pressure upon the other would be an evil. Equality of taxation, says Mr. J. 8. Mill, asa maxim of politics, means equality of sacrifice. ‘Wo are as yet sadly wanting in @ scheme of taxation calculated to secure the maximum of revenue with the minimum of inconvenience to the taxpayers. The host of petty exactions with which the people have at present to contend, while producing little net revenue in the ag- gregate, will, if perpetuated, do more to disgust them with taxation altogether than the whole of the indirect taxes, and place a powerful weapon in the bands of any anti-taxation party that may arise. Tho committee of three on taxation authorized by Congress have some hard work before them; but their labors of investigation would be all the bétter directed if attended by a little preparatory knowledge, in which connection the follow- ing celebrated maxims of Adam Smith, embodying the qualitios desirable in a system of taxation, may be found useful :— 1. The subjects of every State ought to contribute to the support of the Vapors ag nearly as possible m proportion to thelr respective abilitios—that is, in pro- portion to the revenue which they respectively enjoy ‘under the protection of the State. In the observation or neglect of this maxim consists what is called the equality or inequality of taxation. 2. ‘the tax which each individual is bound to pay ought to be certain and notarbitrary. The time of pay- ment, the manner of payment, the quantity to be paid, ought all to be clear and plain to the contributor and to every other person. Where it is otherwise, every per- fon subject to the tax is put more or less in the power of the taxgatherer, who can either SS the tax upon any obnoxious contributor or extort by the terror of such aggravation some present or perquisite to himself. The uncertainty of taxation encourages the insolence and favors the corruption of an order of men who are natu- rally baggy ed even when they are neither insolent nor corrupt. certainty of what each individval ought to pay is in taxation a matter of so great importance that a very considerable degree of inequality, it appears, I be- Neve, from the experience of all nations, is not near so great an evil as a very small d of uncertainty. 3, Every tax ought to be levied at the time orin the manner in which it i# most likely to be convenient for the contributor to pay it A tax upon the rent of land or of houses, payable at the same term at which such rents sere usally paid, is levied at a time when it is most likely to be convenient for the contributor to pay. Taxes by such consumable goods as are articles of luxury are | anally paid by the consumer, and generally in a man- arr that is convenient to him. He pays them little pag ‘as he has occasion to a Ay goods. As he is at liberty, ‘00, either to buy or not to buy, as he pleases, it must he his own fault if he ever suffers any considerable inconvenience from such taxes. 4. Every tax ought to be so contrived as both to take out and to keep out of the pockets of the le an little a8 possible over and above what it brings into the public al sioner A tax may either take out or keep out of the pockets of the people a great deal more than it brings J) the public treasury, in the four following ~~ pon ly, it may div ly, divert @ portion the community 7m & more to a loss productive emp! forfeitures and other penalties which individuals incur who attempt unsuccessfully to evade the tax, it may frequently ruin them, and thereby jut an end to the benefit which the community might ave derived from the employment of their capitals, An injudicious tax offers a great temptation to smugglit and the Gas ~8. “ the La ag Fy jous examination of the sengpeheren may expose them to much ann trouble, vexation and oppression, to which may be added that the restrictive regulations to which jes and manufactures are often subjected to prevent evasion of @ tax are not only in ‘hemselves troublesome and expensive, but often oppose of Fourthly, by subjecting the people mt - insupr rable obstacles to tm) in the making improvements V.any of the national banks, and particularly some of Uiem in thiscity, have, contrary to law, adopted the plan of having the signatures of their officers engraved upon their notes. The attention of the Comptroller of the Cur- rency having been called to the fact, he has, as will be seen by the following letter, promptly ordered the prac- tice to be discontinued :— ‘Truascry DaraRvMent, Oprice oy COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY, ‘Wasainaton, June 8, 1865, To your inquiries of the 8th inst, I reply, briefly, that, in my judgment, the engraving or printing of the signa- tures of the officers of national banks on our. rency notes is not sanctioned by law. Section 22 of the National Currency act provides that the notes shall e: upon their face that aro se- cured by United bonds deposited with the Trea- surer of the United States by the written or engraved signatures of the Treasurer and Register, and “shall also bear upon their face the promise of the association re- ceiving the same to pay 0 demand, attestedby the sig- natures of the president, or vice president and cashier.”” ‘The express provision made for the engraved signa- tures of the Treasurer and Register, by its limitation to those offices, amounts to a prohibition as to the tures of the president or vice president or cashier. The engraved signatures of these officers, therefore, do not furnish the legal attestatiog of the promise to pay on demand contemplated by act, Engraved signatures are characteristic of counterfeits, and if national banks sanction and endorse the practice, they facilitate the busi- ness of the counterfeiter by removing the suspicion with which engraved s'gnatures are usually regarded, and voluntarily give their iasues one feature common to spu- rious notes, ‘The engraved signature of the Treasurer and Register are attested by the imprint of the seal of the Treasury, while the engraved signatures of the officers of the bank are unatfested, unauthorized and dangerous. The effect of this practice cannot be otherwise than pernicious, Though the bank committing the wrong cannot take advantage of it to repudiate its own issues, other national banks would not be obliged to receive the notes. ‘The issues of national banks are receivable for all dues to the government except duties on imports, yet the government through any of its depositaries or offi- cers may demand a legal attestation to these engraved signatures before receiving the notes, I may do the samo before receiving them when mutilated. 1 shall certainly do all in my power to discourage the practice. 4 F. CLARKE, Comptroller of the Currency. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has decided that where a person engaged in the purchaso and sale of stocks, and a company, the stock of which he has pur- chased, becomes insolvent, so that the stock 13 worthless, the amount of the purchase money may be allowed as a deduction. But it must be shown to tho satisfaction of the assessor that such stock 1s not and never will be of any value, The loss may be deducted from profits de- rived from stocks, but not from gains in business, sala- rieg, rents, interest, &c. Eight new oil companies were added to the long list of bogus concerns last week, with an aggregate capital amounting to $2,334,000 and having 972,560 shares. CITY COMMERCIAL REPORT.
