BBOCONSTRUCTION—TREPIDATION OF THE RADICALS, Benator Dixon to-day introduced to the Senate a joint Pesolution op the subject of the return of the Southern States to a voice in the legislation of the country, The ‘asis of readmission by bis theory is loyalty and sub. Palasion to the coustituiional tesis, Senator Fessenden @ight umbrage at the accompanying remarks of Dixon, and w**> some explanation of the protracted labors vf tue Reconstraction Committee in forth so diminutive @ creation, and from all that beep said gpd peard on the subject £0 y unsatisfactory. The Senator was opposed to an expression of opivion on the question beforehand, end thought the fitting time would be when it came be- @ore the body. 11 is evident the committee feel deeply cha- ‘BFined at the disappointment gonerally manifested at the eeuks of the long time spent in deliberating and deter- mining upon the best measures, in their opinion, to be ‘Mopted to Weet the matter of reconstruction. Mr. “@ixen, who {s an ardent supporter of the President, ‘feeeived a dash from Mr. Grimes, who characterised ‘the resolution as the “antagonistic proposition from the White House as opposed to the plan of the Recon- @truction Commities,”” The discussion was quite ani- mated, and displayed more of the vindictive spirit than has yet been shown by the radicals. Sumner on the game subject showed sowe signs of caving in, and in- hig words conveyed (he impression of @ hearty dis- ‘epprobation, or at least disappointment, at the propost- offered by the Reconstruction Commitiee, In order ‘€o treat the matter as daintily as possible he remarked that he did not consider Congress able to the question —_now. Doubtless the feets a breeze in the background, as he alluded quite pathetically to popular influence, the will of the great mind of the American people, and the like, The ‘Beuator has shown but little deforence to this polential (Powor of late, He now snddenly halts in bis career and jeails upon Congress to pay some attention to the wishes lof the people. This has all the more force coming os it from a representative of Massachusetts.) Thad ‘Stevens’ Inte tremor and Sumner’s trepidation will doubt- Jes befog their followers sufficiently to lead to some farther indications of wavering. Several of the bolster @us radicals have been quite mute since yesterday. STANTON’S SUPPORT OF THE PRESIDENT, @ opposition to the report of the Reconstruction Com ‘Mittee, has led to considerable talk in the higher po- Milica) circles. There is quite a diversity of opinion as ‘Wo ita durability in its present form. THE POST OFFICE APPROPRIATION BILL, Aogether with Mr. Trutabull’s amendment pruning the President's appointing power, pasted the Senate to day DePEAT OF THE ARMY BILD IN THE HOUSE. ithe Army bill reported to the House by Mr. Schenck, ‘Ohgirman of the diiliinry Commitice, after a labored dis @uasion of some days, met ite death to-day by a vote of pearly throe to one. There were two main objections to ‘Ge dil the Vetoran Reserve corps and the ve question. The iatter was offensive to those have opposed ail Igislation = aadvane- the negro, and the former objectionable to a ‘umber who, a8 they express it, believe in a regular ermy of efficient and able-bodied officers und men. The eembination of these two opposing parties was sufficient Wo dofeat the bill. The Senate bill, which does not Jprovide for the Veteran Reserve corps, it is now under. (qteod will be taken up in a few days, and there is no Woudt about ite passage, possibly with some immaterial ‘amendments. The failure of Schenck’s bill hus called Gort great satisfaction among military men. PARDONS. An order has beon issued by the President granting pardons to eleven persons from Louisiana, six from Als. ‘Dama, three from Arkansas, one from Goorgia and one from Virginia—all of which were special cases under the ‘ret and thirteenth exceptions of the proclamation of y BRCRIPTS FROM INTRWSAL REVENUR. ‘The following are the receipts at the Interna!

EDWARD COOPER, Agting Private Secretary. TRE INCOMB TAX—INSTROOTIONS TO ASSESSORS. The following tnetzuctions hi been issued by the In- ternal Revenue Oitice, which sould be observed in the assessment of (he annual taxes of 1866. We give merely what relates to the most importent ttems:— Only one dédiction of six hundred dollars is allowed from the aggregate incomes of ail the members of any family composed of parents aed minor children, even though only ong paront may be living. It is not essential that the children live with Uhe parents, Husband and wif are regarded as members of the same fam- ily, though living separately, unless separated divorce or other operations of law to break up the family relstions, If the members of @ family Nave separate incomes the returns inay be in narately by the proper parties aud a rata- ble proportion of the six hundred dollars deducted from the income of each. The parent, ag the natural guardian child, is required to.make return for him; but where any other guardian or trustee has been appointed the retarn should be made by the latter, Ront of homestead actually patd may be deduct. ed, but the rental value of property owned by the tax- payer is not a subject of deduction. © Any person clatm- ing a deduction on account of expense for room rent must satisfy the assessor that the room or roots occu- cupied by him constitute bis home, and that he has no residence elsewhere, and this Ddeing shown, ho may be allowed to deduct what he actually pays for rent of such rooms, When rent’ is included and deducted as an ex- pense of business it must not again be deducted as ront. Nor should a person hiring a house and subletting & portion of it be allowed to deduct more than the excess of his payments over his receipts. Where no repairs have been mada, by the taxpayer upon any building owned by him during the preceding ive years nothing can be deducted for repairs made during the year for which income is estimated. Taxpayers frequently claim deductions for losses in ‘depreciation in the value of Stocks or other property of a ike nature. No deductions can in any case be allowed for depreciation of value of such property until it is actually disposed of and a loss realized. Costs of suits and other legal proceedings arising from ordinary business are to bo treated as other expenses of such busiuess, and may be deducted from the gross profits thereof. Expenses for medical attend. ance, store bills, &e., aro not proper subjects for deduc- tion, Expenses’ of repairs of implements, wols, &c., uged in business anay be deducted. Among the national, State, county and municipal taxes deductible from incomes are comprised such internal revenue taxes as have not been included in expenses of basiness and such municipal taxes as are assessed ratably upon all the persons liable to such assessment; but as- sessments mare municipal authorities upon the inhabitants of a particular locality of a town or city on account ef special —impro ments In or upon the strects adjoining the prem. ixes of such inhabitants, the same not being assessed ratably, are not considered as taxes deductible from in- come. If the manufacturer dealer has been in the prac- tice of estimating his annual protits by taking invento- ries of stock be should take the cos jue of such stock, unless he bas taken the market value in making pre- vious returns. Whichever method has been adopted by the taxpayer should be adhered to un forialy. If interest accrued during the year on notes, bonds, &c., is good and collectable at the end of the year it should be returned as income, whether collected or not. The fagt jnogme is devoted to the payment of debts dos not release from liability to income tax. Residents should make return ! the district wher» they reside at the time of making the return. The resi- dence required, under section 116, for par. pose of taxing Income 1s held to be a fexident® during the year for which income ts derived. If any person subject to income tax resides abroad his return 4 be made in the district where ho last resided. ‘itizons of the United States residing abroad are subject to (ax upon their eniice incomes, from all sources what- ever, and the same is true of foreigners residing in this country. The term estate includes all lands, tenements and hereditaments, corporeal and incorporeal, Profits on rea) estate purchased in a previous fom on incom incomes, nor can to tax at five per cent the remainder at ten per cent. . All expenses for insurance upon property and all actual losses in business may be deducted ‘the gross income of the year, Gold and stiver pla’ is subject to tax if Kept for use, whether actually used or not, except es provided in achodole A. If kept in bank, with no intention to the same, such plate is exempt, DECISION FROM THR GENERAL LAND OFFIOF, Tho General Land Oifice has decided that where 1 por'y makes a homestead entry, and before the expiraiion 0! five years’ settlement and cultivation the homes(o! settler dies, the widow or other reprosentative of t!.9 ur ceased may complete the title by paying for the lan) sud taking the evidence of purchase in favor of the het:: of the deceased settior.
