Tax on LlqnoB.
Ill* operation ot that section of the tax
law having reference to liquors is causing
much dissatisfaction with a large class of our
merchants, as well as the State authorities.
A3 it cow stands, '.iquora are taxed every
lime t£ey are sold, aad a number of ex
pedients have been adopted to escape the
payment of the tax, which can be done
without violating the strict letter of the law.
For instance, a merchant in the Interior of
the State sends to a gentleman in this city
an erder, which he sends across the river in
South Carolina to be filled, making no re
turn to the Collector, claiming that he only
acted as agent, and bo on, until no one pays
any tax but the retail dealer; thus defrauding
the Stale and effecting a practical discrimina
tion without incurring a penalty against •»'
own liquor dealers, iodavor of an «tside
"^his is so manifestly unfair to a large class
of the merchants of theStAe and prejudicial
to the commercial trade of our cities, that it
is not to be doubted for a moment um Legis
lature will correct the evil by prompt legis
lative action.
We understand that a petition for the re
peal of the tax is being numerously signed
by our merchants and leading citizens, and
it Is to be hoped that the Legislature will
promptly adopt such action as will relieve
onr reviving commerce from the embarrassing
effects of a law so discriminating, unjust and
impolitic.
Prospect op a General Amnesty.—The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Gazette says : “There is a rumor and an
impression existing among very intelligent
gentlemen of every shade of political opin
ion that before the assembling of Congress
the President will issue a proclamation de
daring a general amnesty, with a limited
number of exceptions. The reasons for
prompt action in this matter are so apparent
that they may have induced the current be
lief and report. I can trace the report to no
authentic source, but am among tbose who
believe it to be highly probable.
Columbia and Augusta Railroad.—A vote
of the citizens of Augusta on the question of
authorizing the City Council to subscribe
$100,000 to the stock of the Columbia and
Augusta Railroad was taken on Monday,
with the following result: In favor of tbe
subscription, 537; opposed, 89. Tbe Chronicle
regards the vote as authorizing the'subscrip
tion, while the Constitutionalist, holds that
the law requires a majority of the legal voters
of the city to be cast for the measure in order
to get the question before Council for con
sideration.
Railway Meeting in Bainbridos.—Tbu
Bainbridge Georgian ot the 15th inst. says—
Wc understand that the City Council of
BaiDbridge, at their last meeting, appointed
a c'lmmittee of nine of our citizens to matte
renewed efforts for increasing the subscrip
tion of our city to the capital stock of tb*
Atlantic and Gnlf Railroad Company, and
to that end a meeting of tbe citizens of Bain-
bridge is called for this evening in the Court
bouse, at 7 o’clock.
In Candia the Turks have conquered the
“Cretan Insurrectionists,” and, by way of
showing the United States Government bow
to act magnanimously, have granted oa the
spot a general amnesty to the insurgents

The aoderatgned, one of tbe committee
by hla Hoaor. ttw Mayor, to take into eon
Ao.rh(g Ham to aamnlt bis obJeettona to tbe
posed plan: Its adoption would lead to a wasteful
expenditure of money, with rhinott* results, by stir,
ring up and drifting with the current u maos ot
earthy matter, which would be deposited at some
other point below, and form a now shoal, or alas be
drifted back by the oounter tides, and deposited

■craping of tbe steamships over tide shoal since the
close Of tbe war is the beet evidence that no good re-
likely to be attained by the plan proposed.

■bow that, notwlfhaanditig the scraping 01

minished than increased. This most continue to be
so until tbe removal of the crib obstruction* to the

Tha Board met pursuant to call, to receive the re
port at special committee appointed at teat regular
meettag of Council to obtain a legal opinion, and to

Present. Hor. Edward C. Anderson, Mayor; Alder
men Wade, Hunter, A. N. Miller, Wyliy, Burroughs,
Waring, Meyer and C. C. Millar.
Tha Committee presented their repot, and, .! ,
On motion ef- Alderman Burroughs, the “Act to re
organise the Tire Department of tbe Cityof Savannah,'’
aa BTreented to the Legislature, was read.
Afrtrdiwaaaloaof the act,
Oa mutton of Alderman Waring, tha papers ware
hen np neriatim, and the letter of Hon. George 8.
Owens, Birnamr, was read, a* follows:
Snui Cm nan, ■
MilledgevUl*. Nov. 12th. 1666. j
7b (As Mayor and Aldermen .
tt of the City or Savannah:
Gentlemen—Your representative, Mr. Ruaeell, baa
presented to the Legislature “ A bill to reorganise the
Fire Department of Savannah,” accompanied with a
resolution of your body requesting the Senator and
Representatives to aid to ita passage. Upon a careful
examination ot tbe bill, 1 find several important ob
jections which will preclude my favorable action, and
I beg leave to present them to you for your coaaldera-
JliraL The bill, although not oxpreealy proposing
an act of incorporation, yet approacnee it so closely as
to indues me to consider it drat iu that view. Under
the sixth eeotion 2d arttole of the Constitution of the'
that* of Geoegla, tha power of the Legislature to lr-
oofporal* la limited to certain kinds of incorporation.
A Fir* Company to not on* of the excepted cases, aad
the Legislature ta not therefore authorised to act.
Tha tew leave* no doubt that thiate a private ooepo-
ratten under tha definition given by the Ooda of Geor
gia. te#ton» 108 to 1*36 Inclusive. Hthla lanot aa
act of Incorporation, it is, in my judgment, a subject
of municipal sebon alone, and therefore within fee
control of the Board of Aldermen. Again, the fifth
section of the KB proposes to repeal all lawa and
partaoftewigtetogacuipaeato Alstonoe to tha Sa
vannah Fire Company, except ao much as allows
them to bold and control their funds. Tbe effeet of
■its clause would be. in mj Judgment, to annihilate
fee existence of this company as a Fire Company;
and that if It shell become a law, thl* company would
have no future right or power.to set la their organised
capacity to the extinguishment of fires. I cannot
nut that snob wa* ttie Intention of Council, and if it
e?. 1
in a court of competent Jurisdiction. The
Council la of coo rae fully advised of ita own powers,
and I do not propose to do more than simply state
that, to my opinion, U»ie ia no sense for legislative
iqj '■It 1.
arrive from pasture
Entertaining these views, I have thought tt wniy
proper to reap)fea* to your resolution to advise yon
of them, and as forming the reason why I cannot give
Gnoaox b. Owns.
The legal opinion of Hon. K. J. Harden, corporation
(Money, was then submitted and reed; and fee cor
poration attorney was, on motion, requested to lay hie
views before Connell, after which Alderman Waring
oflsrad the following resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved, That the bill be referred to the corpora-
tfoo attorney for amendment, and report the same to
an adjourned meeting of Uena«lfor Tuesday evening into of Low Walter, of said maty.deceased!
