The Savannah Daily Herald. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER t. 1»65 VANITY TAXES There is a description of taxation in Eng land remarks tlic Philadelphia News which, in a manner, is wholly unknown here. We arc as vaiu, as a people, as any upon the face of the earth, but there is an individual vanity from which we are nearly free The gentleman who was offered a pinch of snuff, and responded, in a dignified manner, that he had no small vices, must have had American blood in his veins. We, as a people, have no small vanities, though it may be aliedged that we deal in the article wholesale. As every one knows, about one-third of the whole British revenue is obtained by taxation levied through the Custom House That third amounts, in each year, to about $73,000,000, and is realised from a few prin cipal imports, chiefly of sugar, tea, tobacco, wine, spirits, coffee, and corn. The internal revenue arises from stamps, excise, land and assessed taxes, postage, and the Property tax They are not so utterly mean, across the water, to tax luclfer matches, pins and needles, thread and cotton, and such neces sary trifles in ordinary use, but they tax superfluities, and particularly such as admin ister to the personal vanity of those who en ioy them. For instance, and one sealing a letter with his crese or full armorial bearings, roust pay $4 a year, and fit if he is charg eable with the duty of assessed taxes for any carriage. Where there is a carriage, there roust be a servant to look after it perhaps another to mind the horse or horses. Now, as people can generally dispense with car riages and flunkies, it is right that each should pav for bis particular vanity; there fore the duty is *5 a year upon every male servant over 18 years old, and halt that lor male servants under that age, or for under gardeners, or as under-game-keepers. If a servant be of the old-school and wear pow der on his head, there is an extra tax off 5 on each man. This yielded $5,000 last year ! The duty upon carriages varies, according to size and grandeur, from $3, when drawn by a pony not exceeding thirteen hands in height, to a full-grown carriage, drawn by iwo or more horses. If a person, wishing to play the landed gentleman and sportsman, desires to shoot grouse, partridges, or pea sants, at the appointed seasons, he must not pull a trigger until he has first “stepped up to the Captain's office,' 1 and taken out a .rame license. The price of this is slo a year, aud if he has a keeper, $lO extra must tie paid for him. Shooting is not much good without a setter or retriever, and the annual tax upon each dog used iu the pursuit oi game is $3. If a man keeps greyhounds, the tax is $45 ; and if he keep a pack of hounds he may have to pay $197. Shooting and hunting are luxuries, (as well as vanities, in very many cases,) and those who indulge iu ibemmust “pay for their whistle," as saga cious Franklin said. There cannot be hunt ing without horses, and the dealers in them must take out an annual license, costing $l2O in London, aud half that amount iu the country. The animals themselves, so often kept for show aud from mere ostentation, do not pass scot-free. If a man keeps a fast horse, the public revenue benefits by bis pride or van ity, according to the creature's rank in equine aristocracy. For a pony, $1 50 per annum ; lor the same, if kept for riding or drawing a carriage chargeable with duty, $2 50; for a horse over thirteen hands high, $2 50; for a horse of the same height, kept for riding or carriage use, $5 50; and for every horse kept or used for racing, S2O. A parliamentary return of the proceeds of the British financial year ending March 1866, shows how these various subjects of taxation contribute to the revenue. It is not worth while to go into details, but we may say that, in the'year 1865, the sum of $387,500 was derived from armorial bearings: $1,066,120 from servants ; $1,051,645 from dogs, and $301,820 from the duty on gold and silver plate. We add, for the informa tion of the curious in such matters, that, within the same financial year, the national revenue of England was benefited by the tax on inhabited houses to the extent of $4,584,- 610; by probates on wills, administrations, legacies, and successions (on which there is no local impost whatever;, $17,246,770 ; by the stamp on bills of exchange, $3,846,545; and by the penny stamp on receipts, drafts, Ac., $2,501,250. However, these last items are digression si What we wanted to show was, that English taxation is based upon two simple principles, namely ; to lean heaviest upon luxuries, superfluities, and vanities, and, as far as practicable, not to lean at all upon mere necessaries. These last do not yield much, but their collection is cumbrous as well as costly, and they irritate the minds of the masses, who chiefly have to pay the taxes upon them. The rich are the proper objects for taxation, and the less wealthy classes ought to be dealt lightly with. A clerk or small tradesman will be taxed if he wears a watch to show him how time pas ses , but a millionaire expends large sums on paintings, statues, bronzes, rich carvings; stained glass, marqueterie, bijoutsrie, and articles of virtu, and is taxed very lightly indeed, comparison being tairly made, for the gratification of his taEte— which may be rtal, but is just as likely to be oniy ostenta tious. When our system of Internal taxa tion is remodelled, (it is likely to be perma nent and therefore ought to be just,) let us hope that rich men and poor men will not be taxed alike. Tne necessaries of life should be free of taxation, as far as practi cal, the superfluities, on the other hand, ana above all, the vanities, should be dealt strongly with. Os this there cannot be any doubt—except in the minds of the wealthy, who ought to be squeezed for the benefit of the Republic and for the relief of their poorer and humbler and struggling tellow-citizens. Toy-Making in Uenuany. in Germany the wood work, so far as Eng lish importers know anything of it, is mostly in the form of small trinkets and toys for children The production of these is immense In the Tyrol and near the Thuringian forest, in the middle states of the ill-organized con federacy, and wherever forests abound, there the peasants spend much of their time in making toys. In the Tyrol, for example, there is a valley called the Grodnerthal, about twenty miles long, in which the rough climate and barren soil will uot suffice to grow corn for the inhabitants, who are rather numerous Shut from the agricultural labor customary in other districts, the people earn their bread chiefly by wood carving. They make toys of numberless kinds (in which Noah's ark animals are very predominant) of the soft wood of the Siberian pine—known to the Gusmans as ziebel inusskiefer. The tree is of slow giowth, found on the higher slopes of the valley, but now becoming scarce, owing to the improvidence of the peasants in cutting down the forests without saving or planting others to succeed them. For a hundred years and more the peasants have been carvers. Nearly every cottage is a workshop. All the occupants, male and fe male, down to very young children, seat themselves round a table, and fashion their little bits of wood. They use twenty or thirty different kinds of tools, under the ma gic of which the wood is transformed into a .dog, a lion, a man, or what not. Agents represent these carvers in various cities in Europe, to dispose of the wares. It is said that the Prince of Wales will not go to the naval felts at Cherbourg, because there will be no prince of the blood to re ceive him, and the French Minister of Ma rine (Laubat) also refuses to go, because there will be no English Lord of the Admir alty present. A contemporary ts reminded , the traditional Spanish king, who refused "?aved from his burning palace, because officer appointed to care for his person a a 001 to attend to his dutv. An Imperial leremony in Raula. inn or in uaut irrxbi.m. On the Ist of August the Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovitch of Russia attained his twenty first year, sod the occasion nm celebrated as a national holiday By the death of the late Czarevitch, this young man is the heir apparent to the Russian throne The Loudon Daily News correspondent thus describes the ceremony: “The municipality have caused triumphal arches to be erected on the road leading to the chateau where their Imperial Majesties past the night, and an unlimited quantity <>t gunpowder aud BeDgal lights burned, wind and weather permitting. The grand charges of the court, the officers ot the guards, and their ladies, the representative of foreign courts aud their respect;*; staffs, and in tact all those who have the entree to the Winter Palace, are theie iu gala attire— the men in their uniforms of state, the ladies of the court in the handsome and pictur esque dress of the country. It is ail these that I see driving to the palace to take part I iu ft pageant of which the official papers i have published a programme here condensed The members of the imperial family, the high officers of State and the diplomatic body assembled in the chapel of the palace A mass and If having been perlormed by the Archbishop of St. Petersburg and Novgorod, the heir apparent, with right arm uplitted, swore lealty to his father and the empire ; he took solemn oath that he would uphold and maintain the laws of the country, and stand by the rights of his family to the crown and sceptre, as regulated by the act of sucession. “A friend who has just returned from w it nessing the ceremony describes it as most impressive. The heir apparent, dressed iu the handsome blue uniform of the Cossacks, whom he commands by right of primogeni ture, read the prescribed oath from a paper, with a voice strong, clear and unhesitating. He then advanced to a table, beside which the crown, orb and seeptre of tire Romanoff dynasty were deposited, and subscribed to the oath which he had registered before God and man. The Vice-Chancellor of the Em pire, Prince Uortchakoff, advanced to receive the document from his imperial highness.— Then followed a prayer for the Czsarvitch of all the Russias, during which every man aud woman within the capel devoutly knelt. “The poor Empress, I am told, looked much affected, and her feelings reached the climax when her second son came to claim the felicitations she bad on a similar occasion bestowed on her first-born, 9o recently torn from her. The official programme turther sets forth that the Czsarvitch, accompanied by the members of the Imperial family, the diplomatic corps, etc., proceeded from tin; chapel to the Hall of St. George, where, with one hand grasping the colors of the Cossack tioops, he took the oath that he would ever remain laitbiul, w ith the Cossacks under his command, to his Majesty the Emperor. The representatives of all the regiments of the Guards were there with their colors to wit noss the oath, which done they filed off at the command of the Grand Duke Nicholas, General-in-Chief of the Guards corps, sta tioned in the vicinity ot ibis capital. It must have been curious and suggestive to see the imperial crown borne from the chapel to the hall by the man who in 1653 did so much to wards placiug it in jeopardy—the celebrated Priuce Menchikoff. THE FOrUtAB CELEBRATION. “Following the example of every inhabi tant of St. Petersburg who could find a ve hicle to transport him, I drove out ot town to the suburb known as ‘the islands,' where the wealthier classes encamp during the hot and dusty months of summer. My astonish meut was great on observing the absence of two or three triumphal arches which had been thrown across the road leading to the imperial chateau of Flaghin, where, as I have already said, the Emperor and Empress are now staying. The arches had been con structed on a scale of much magnificence The titeworks were to take place at the end of the long road spanned by the arches, and these were naturally to have been great at tractions to the holiday-making populace. Making immediate inquiry, I was informed that the triumphal arches had been pulled down at the desire of the Empress, which, only known yesterday morning, was earned into effect in three or four hours by a great number of laborers. Three or tour hours sufficed to destroy the handiwork of almost twice as many days. Not a vestige of the woodwork remained, and even the road was swept clean within the appointed time. Your readers here get a good insight into the magical effect of autocratic power, while they cannot hut sympathize with the feel ings by which its exercise was prompted. The afflicted mother saw uo reason for tri umph ou such an occasion ; it was a day of submission to the Divine will.and thtqhi ait re fused to exult. This trait of character will commend itself to the sympathies of sorrow ing women, but its effect will be one of dis appointment aud displeasure to the mem bers of the municipality, at whose expense the loyal manifestation, evidently encour aged aud permitted by the authorities, had been undertaken. The Empress had ap parently only been apprised of their inten tions yesterday morning, after a considerable outlay ol labor and mouey had been made, but of course these should be of no consid eration when the feelings of a mother de manded the sacrifice. “But although mere were no triumphal arches, the villas of the islands were beauti fully illuminated. The fireworks were not very successful, as rain had fallen In the af ternoon. The people were out in great crowds. The illuminations may have been distasteful to the Emperor and Empress, but it was necessary to impress forcibly upon the people the fact that, although the Czare vitch is dead, the Czarevitch yet lives!" A CHARITABLE ACT. The new Czarevitch has sent the following latter to the proper official: “Prince Alexander Arkadievitch: In taking the most important step of my life, and vowing devotion to my lather, aud in his person to all Russia, my first thought was to rnaik this day by an act of charity. I herewith transmit you the sum -of six thou sand roubles, requesting you to distribute the same among the poorest inhabitants oi the country. 1 shall be happy if it serve to dry but a few tears or to provi4e bread tor a few needy families; aud God will listen to the prayers they will offer up in common with me for the long life of our Emperor Lord, and for the prosperity of the countiy “Your well-wisher, “Alexander. A newspaper correspondent writes that the Czarevitch is busily engaged in perfect ing his education, which, according to the rules affecting the younger sons of the im perial family, had been chiefly a military one during the lifetime of his brother. The Em peror has commanded that, in the present instance, the studies of the Czarevitch shall be shared by the Grand Duke Vladimir, his brother next in age. General Count Perov ski, a nobleman of great talent and high In tellectual culture, has been entrusted with the superintendence of their studies. In the year ending June 1, 1860, there were 34 esteblishments returned for the man j ufacture of hemp bagging in the United j Suites. The amount ol capital invested was i S;>OS,2&Q ; consuming 6,247 tons hemp, cost | log ¥803,800 ; employing 661 male and 126 i lemale hands ; paying for labor $141,63C ; producing 9,540,0t>0 yards of bnggiosr, val | ued at $1,109,628. A mad bull broke loose the other day, in i Louis, dashed down one of the main streets, goring several people as he passed, j and, at the cornor of Sixth and Walnut streets, charged on Gen. Sherrhan and his Adjutant. Ibe General made a successful | flank movement and escaped, while the Ad , jutant retired behind strong fortifications j narrowly escaping.
