The Work Accomplished by the Assessors’ Convention. The Discrepancy in the Administration of the Law. Probable Cause of the Conflicting Opinions Sent Out from the In- ternal Revenue Bureau.

Aumany, Oct, 26, 1865. ‘The Convention of Interual Revente Assessors has <eloged its labors and adjourned. Although in deciding not to suggest any modification in the Internal Revenue laws where their practical application bas exhibited im- perfections they destroyed their own usefulness on the very point where they could have rendered services of inestimable value tothe country, yet their deliberations ‘will no doubt result in much good. The want of uni- formity in the administration of the law im different wections became so manifest to all present that measures will now be taken to procure decisions from the department which shall be made appli- cable to all sections, There was hardly a sub- jeet broached in the convention upon which the delegates present had not opposite decisions. One canecesor would state that he bad a decision from the department at Washington declaring such and such “wo be the construction of the Tat ‘That assessor would hhardly take his seat before another would state that he had a very explicit decision from the Commissioner stat- ing that the very opposite was the correct version of the Jaw. There were but very few points upon which de- velopments of this character wero not made, and in many cases as many a= four decisions on the same point of law, and uo two opinions agreeing. No statement ‘was made in any case in regard to the date of any of the opinions or by which commissioner they were made. As there have been three commissioners appointed since the intern:! revenue system was inaugurated, it is rea- sonable to suppose that the decisions bear a different conflict of opiion at Washington arises from the fact that they were made by different men; that while Boutwell interpreted the lw one way, Mr. Lewis, looking at it as a techinal lawyer, held another wew, and that on Mr. Orton's assuming the duties he dis- carded techui alities, was obliged to di of both and render a different des opment showing that the same separate decisionssince the advent of Mr. Orton to t head o° the bureau. But it wax shown thet the former commisstoner had made dec’sions on certain points and afierwards decided the reverse, and that when his tention was called to it he would reply that the first s, but that on the latter he ‘ ed by his clerks. Perhaps if the dates of the opinions had been given it would have been xbown that this was the source of the great conflict. Now that the aseessors have met in convention they thave been able to compare notes and ascertain these facts It iv to be regretted, however, that there was not a full attendance from every State, and all the decisions ‘en numerous points received by different. assessors pre- wented, and wherever there was any conflict in the op-nions sent. ont from Washington provisions made to sem the two decrees to the Internal Revenue Barean and request a revision of the decision, and then the result went to every ussessor throughout the country. In this way they might approach # uniformity in the adminis- tration of the Jaw—thatis, if such a’ thing i¢ possible ‘under the present equivocal wording of the statute. In cone or two instances the Convention adopted this conrse, ang it seems a» though it would have been much wiser if they had adopted that on all contusted points. But un- fortuuately many of the assessors soémed "to bo more unxious to agree upen some mode which would enable them to obtuin the taxes from the small dealers and uisnutacturers, whose tax, even if secured, would only be ten or twenty dol Jae, and thus overlooking mor) important points, where thousands and tens of thousands were at stake. This Seay ta majority of the delegates; but it did 2 those who occupied most of the time of ihe Conven- fen. It was a good sign to see this clase almost in voted down when a vote was rerched. As the law has been administered in different localities, the burthen of taxes bas fallen with great ineqrality on the same classes of business in diferent sections, No doubt this Convention will bring about an important change iu this respect, which will hus accomplish great good. But this, as important as it is, is nothing in com- parison to what they might have done had they taken HM, mpare nows and results of the prac of the law, and suggested modifications’ i 1 gone #0 far a levying the tax have been bene- ever, apparent to disinterested observers of the proceed- tex that too many of the officials thought more about Telaining their offices thau they did on the periection of the law, and that they were alraid to recommend amend ments w the statute, Jest they would im that way ‘cofiend some person, and thus Jose their places, An as sesur who is qualified to discharge the duties of the office is betier capable than any other person to snggest amendments that will make the law practical in all he is qualitied for to hold the position.

Rut no; the timidity of these officials bs euch that in their onion such @ course ‘would be an invidious assumption on their part. Fortn- ‘mately thir rule did not apply to ail the assessors. Such meen & Emerson and Davis, of Massachusetts; Franklip, of ‘New York city, and several from tbe interior of the ‘whose names we do not at this moment recall; Budd, of Penusyivania; Halsey and others of New Jersey, and cone or two of the Ohio delegates, did not take this nur- sow view; but they were ina minority. ‘The report of the committee on the gencral provisions of the law was more bold than any of the others, and their report caused the greatest sensation of any, expe eially arousing the opposition of those who were so scrupulous on the point of not suggesting any modifica. tion of the law or change in the basis of taxation, The following is a copy of that report :— ‘The commitice to whom was Lg oti the construe on of the general provisions of the Internal Revenue tnw scting in the Rgut and under the instructions of the ‘resolution® already adopted by the Convention, to con fine our’attention to questions of practice under existing Jaws and ach suggestions as may be deemed aoe i for the practical workings of the law, beg respectfully to report:— ‘The practical work! of the machinery of the law, and the omtarrasmieet and friction consequent upon diverse practice and construction of the provisions in diferent districts, are probably more familiar to the as- nexsore than to other officers of the revenue service. ‘The concurrent testimony of all is to the effect that = noth more desirable or would be more ¢ to remove complaints of tax. payers r ring about, by some means, greater simplicity in the machinery of the law, and, Sbove all, that umformity of action should be sought for. It probably would be better that a syetem of taxation should be uniform in practical application, even if in als erroneour, than that the action of assessors in different districts should vary—some, acting in strict conformity to the statute, and others, in veglect of such requirements, creating jealousy and heartburnings among representatives of Jike interests subject to taxa tion. ‘Your committee are aware that it does not come within their provinces to go further than to make sugh sugget: dongarising ont of their experience as may lead to an examination of these matters, and particularly to sub. aupve tbe of securing simplicity and oni: in ot a Ic hia behalt we submit the following saggestions and recommendations :— First All taxes on manufactured articles should be Isid, ip accordance with the present law, at the places re they are produced, The assistant assessors where i nasi ean ray 9 9pN08 pay aah to make the present law truly to save much i i 3 i ‘banks, and be by them returned to the ve collectors fercaliccton.” Under the precoot reralatous, asics ia their own ussess- the errors ip their jpstmilats r yee Pha nwo they make ever in addition o! and show want of familiarity with the ivements of the Jaw since the almost universal change from State to the national system, The returns are made to the aszist- ant, and before it is corrected the taxes are transmitted the Treasury, where the compntation is ascertained to be in manifold respects erroneous before the required return has come to the eye of the assessor, creating, of the necessity for amendinent, lengthened com- j 4 collector has occasion to make any seizures outside of the limits of his own district he xhould be required to .notify the assessor of the district in which he proposes to make a seizure, so as to bring him to ix atime for a hearing in the case, to the end that each and every assessor may havea record of all sevzures within hig district, and that the taxpayers there- of may know and that their own assessor has authority and power to protect them trom apy undne interference on the part of outside officers. To accomplish this desirabla object in the most effectual manner, ax well ag to protect the rights of tax- payers, there should be but a single officer in each dis- trict, and one competent by intelligence and irreproach- able integrity to summon delinquent taxpayers aud make examinations of persons, books and. pap:rs. Fourth. That in the opinion of the assessors of this convention the present law is wisely framed in basing the licenses of wholesale dealers upon the amount of their sules, whereby a tax.upon sales—the most accept: able and approved of all taxes—is fully endoreed; and they feel no hesitation in expressing their conviction that this principle of the law, so wise and just, might be extended more widely, so that in its operations it would include the sales of all parties in every department of business. Fifth. There are great irregularities and donbtless extensive frauds in the assessment and payment of the tax upon incomes, The amended law of the last Con- ress inaugurated great improvement in this regard; but there remains still a vagueness in the construction of the provisions of the statute, and, as we believe, detects in the administration of this part of the system which we believe may be remedied. We venture to suggest that persons making returns of income should pot be required to make returns of that portion of their in- come which may be supposed to be derived from the undistributed gains of any incorporated or other institu. tion of which they may be shareholders. Nicth, We would rexpectfully renew our recommenda- the Commissioner, under the wise discretion him, instruct the assessors. to return but thir- teon lists a year to the collector. wewh, To uniformly require all manufacturers, to make their returns on or before the 9th of cach month, unless in case of sic sor nnavoidable contingencies. Eighth, We would suggest whether the machinery and equaiity of the law would not be greatly subserved if all deductions from manufactures of ail kinds could be abol- ished. The distinction between builders and contract- ors from carpenters who work upon buildings should be more distinctly defined. Ninh. The balance of gains and profits from various branches of business and from fixed and permanent in- vestments should be the amount of taxable income. Tenth. There is a want of certainty a1 uniformity in the practice as to income derived from wood sold as & part of the income of the owner of the soll. We recom- mend that the tax be laid upon a certain percentage of the difference between the value of the land before the wood is removed or cut and afterwards, Elewrth, All travelling exhibitions and shows should de required to make returns ef gross receipts and pay the tax thereon semi-monthly in the district where they happen to be at the fixed time for making such return. Twelfth, That assessors should have more explicit au- thority to instruct their assistants to collect the return of income immediately after the 1st of January. ‘The in- come of farmers would be far more easily and fully as- certained by them, as the assessment OM thelr petarae could be made while large portions of their products are unconsumed, Thirieewh. Abolish the tax on carriages, pianos, silver and gold plate, and all other enumerated articles, for the renson that it’ causes greater annoyance to the people than the amount that is realized thereupon. It is looked upon as injudicions and offensive, and costing more than it comes to in the expense of assessment. Fonrteenth, We would respectively suggest to the depart- iditing officers of the Treasury, that for «to which assessors af internal’ revenne iy subject under the law and the offi- m of the Commissioner, as he may provide for, they should be reimbursed. We ask that the assessors be reimbursed for expenses fora place for holding ap- penis in each county not now provided for; also for_ac- inal expenses incurred in the performance of official duties performed under the direction and approval of the departinent; also that the item of office rent should be * construe more than one oftice—viz : in other counties than their residence—shouid be allowed therefor, provided they do by in the aggregate exceed one thousand dollars in the whole. Fifiecnth, Section 94 shonid be so far amended as to abolish as fur as possible fractional duties. This report branched out from the narrow path which most of the others followed, and actually suggested amendments; bat it met with bitter opposition in the Convention, and many of the most important specifica. tions—second, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth, tenth and thirteenth—were either voted down or withdrawn after a strong opposition had been manifested. Important to Disorderly Persons. SUPREME COURT—CH AMBERS. Before Judge Ingraham. In the Ma'ter of the Application of Margaret Boyle.— Ju e Ingraham yesterday rendered a very jmportant ion in the case of persons arrested for disorder! et, about which considerable Hugation has oc lately, and not @ little difference of opinion among the judiciary. The decision is as follows:— The prisoner is brought before me on habeas corprs, and her discharge is axked for on the gronnd that the tunitment by the magistrate, until she gave t or gout behavior, unanthorized hy law. decom it necesvary to place the decision of this matter on the ground that, where the Judge has anthor'ty to re- quire the party ‘to give bonds for her good behavior, it arily includes the anthority to hold her c tody until such security struction would render nugi the statute which authorizes th is given, The contrary the whole provision of mavistrate to arrest and the security to be given.

She 18 to be dise from custody on giving the security, and is not entit to her discharge, and, it is material under such impri- sonment, is continued in the police office before the Jus tice or in the prison, under the commitment from the Justice, At common law the megistrate had authority to arrest and require sureties for the peace and good be havior, and in case of not giving such security the prisoner might be committed upti! ench security o farnished, and the Justice might, in the first instance, issue his warrant to the officer directing him to cause the party to go before some justice to find surety, and if he shall refuse, to carry him directly to pricon. The common law power is modified the Revised Statutes by providing that no security to keep the peace or to be of good behavior shall be required, nor shall any person be committed to prison for not giving the same in any cases except such as are prescribed or authorized by statnte. ‘hile this limite the common Jaw right of the magistrate to arrest and require sureties of the peace or for good behavior in any ease before him, at his disere. tion, 10 cuses in which such authority is conferred by statute, I do not understand it as in any way depriving him of’ the common law authority to commit for not giv- ing such security in casex so provided for. On the contrary, the exception of such caves provided for by statute leaves the power to commit in such cases for not giving such security remaining in full force.

The provisions of the Revised Statutes make similar provisions in cases of disorderly persons, making up a record of the convictions of such disorderly persons, in default of the of- Magistrate to require her to five e! ing twelve months, and authorized him also in his ‘discretion at any time te discharge the same.

The deposition of officers Corby and Mra. Brecbtman will be found below:— Hanford Corby, being sworn, says—I went with one of my friends to the Pittston Coal Company's yard, with Mr. Grossman; he is @ police officer and so am I; we went from there to a confectioner’s where Mr, Grossman uged to work; I think it ts in Columbia 4 1 had some lager beer in the confectioner’s; I then went to Mr. James’ place, in Sixth street; 1 started to come home, in Broome street; I think James was in advance of me; 1 felt thirsty, wanted @ drink of water and went into the corner of Columbia and Broome streets; suddenly Treceived a heavy blow, I don’t know what for; I stac- gered; to recover myself I threw up my hands to save myself; I had a pistol with me for the purpose of pro- tecting myself; I was confronted by three. persons; I finally cleared myself; they followed me; I said, “K back; keep back;” there was one of the barrels I le! the slug out to prevent accident; I heard the words “(Kill the son of bitch;’ Iwasa not intoxicated; I had not drank any strong liquor; I did not fire my pistol in the saloon; in the exeltement I could not tell; know if they knew me; I told them not to kill me for anything I had done as an officer; I did not oeabe pistol before a blow was strack; T was struck by a cl ‘or heavy weapon; it was a dark complexioned man that strack me. Bridget Brechtman, being sworn, says—I reside at 22 Columbia, street; I am the wife of Julius Brechtman; be- tween four and five o’clock yesterday oon I was standing behind the bar of Colum! strect; a map came in from the street and towards the rear of the store, and said to my husband, “I wish to speak to on; my husband paid no attention to him, and the man asked him two or three times, my husband paying no attention to him: he then said to me “What is the matter with your lsband?’? I said “My husband is tnking care of his. business, whatis the matter with you? he then made motions to my husband to come towards him; my husband thon said, “What do you want?” he then came in front of the counter, behind and asked for liquor; band said “You have enough; it may you want liquor apd bave no money for it; he then called my husband a my husband which .was my... husband, to pay “patel con of a bitch and a dirty bastard ;”” then ordered him out of the house; he said, ‘You come ont from behind the bar and T will let. ie know if I will go out of the honse;”? my husband still kept behind the bar, when the man ‘attempted to trip my husband once or twice, whon T took a tn pipe, which was standing on the ice box and hit the man on the head; the man then made a rush to hit me back; my husband then went out from behind the bar and put him outside of the door, when he staggered, and pulled out a pistol from his in- side breast coat pocket; then all the persons in the store came out except aman, my husband and myself; he was out of my sight a few moments; I told this man that remained in the store to go for a policeman, that he had a pistol; I then shouted out to my husband to go in the back room, as the man intended ts shoot him; my husband did not go, but I insisted, and he went in the room; the man then rushed into the store with the Jin his hand, and said, “Where is the son of a Bites T want to blow his brains out,” at the same time running around the store with the pistol in his hand; he then turned to to me and said “You bloody bitch, where's my hat? I'll blow your brains ont too;” as he said so 1 stooped behind the counter, at the same time I saw Herman Bolte; le asked me what was the matter: I said, “That wan wants to shoot me,” and asked Bolte to stop him; Bolte went towards the man, and I was behind Bolte, and as soon as the man saw me he tired off his pistol; Bolte then grabbed him, and then my husband came into the room and struck the man; the man fell, and my husband shouted to Bolte to take the pistol from the man; I saw my husband have the pistol afterwards; I don't know what my husband struck the man with, but think it was the pistol belonging to the latter, One or two other witnesses were examined, but their testimony was mostly corroborative of the last witness, ‘The case being submitted to the jury, they rendered a verdiet as follows:—‘Timt Hanford Corby came to his wounding by a club, at the hands of Julius Brechtman, at 22 Columbia street, on the night of October 25, 1865.” At the solicitation of several of Mr. Brec! frieyds Coroner Gover decided to hold him to bail sum of $3,000, man’s in the The Turf. UNION COURSE, L. 1.—TROTTING. A trotting match between the stalliong George Wilkes mmodore Vanderbilt for $2,000, mile heats, best five, in harness, came off yesterday afternoon at the Union Course, which was won by George Wilkes ‘in three straight heats, in very fast tmo considering the advanced season of the year and the state of the track; in fact, the brown stallion looked and acted more like himself on this occasion than he has for the past two years, exhibiting a looseness combined with energy that he has not shown since his trot with Ethan Allen, He seems to be coming again to the standard he had reached in the hands of Horace Jones. Commodore Vanderbilt trotied well, and his backers, althongh losers, were satisfied that the horse had done all that was expected of him in point of time; but Wilkes had done more than was bar- gained for, and they bore their losses as losers should. The batting on the trot in the early part of the day wos about even: and up to noon there was very little odds offered on Wilkes—not over one hundred to eighty; but when the crowd began to congregate on the track the Wilkes stock ran up untilone*hundred to forty was cor- rent on bis winning. In a few instances one hundred to tnrty wax wagered on him. Both of the stallions looked well, and, as the result provea, were np to the mark in condition. ‘The attendance was not as large as was au- Ucipated, yet very good for the latter days of October, although yesterday was as lovely a day as could possibly be desired, Firs’ Heat.—Goorge Wilkes drew the inside position, and took it.as near the middle of the track as was allow- "The horses had a very equal send-off at the Grst d went away at avery rapid rate, head and er they weut to the turn; but as soon as they were at the end of the pickets George , and in the endeavor of Join Crooks (hie and Dilt, the latter taking fright and breaking up badly, and stay 41 the brown stallion was fifty yards ahead of him, Wilkes pasced the quarter pole in thirty-seven seconds and the half-mile pole in 1:12, and his driver sent him fora distance along the lower turn; but, find- ing that impors' from the manner in which Vander. bilt trotted after he recovered, Crooks took Wilkes in hand and eame ina winner by zen lengths or more, in 2:20), Serond Hea! since the finish of ri peat, and one hundred to fity was offered on bis winning. Wilkes got the best of the send off, and led a length around the turn and to the quarter pol, passing that point in thirty-seven seconds, Both horses trotted steadily down the backstretch, Wilkes making the ylicht visible before reaching the half mile pole, which he passed one length and a half abead, in 1:15. They went around the lower turn without the shghtest deviation, but as they swung into the homestretch battle for the heat beg Mace shook up Vanderbilt, and he began closing gallantly ; seeing whic! Crooks called on Wilkes for a forther offort, and the latter respouding, the struggle np to the stretch was as exciting as anything of the kind that ever took place.
