The result of the October election
in Pennsylvania, is no longer in doubt,
The Democrats have a clear majority
of 1,702 on the Congressional vote,
whleb is sufficient to insure the State
for AIoCLELLAN in November by 80,
000 to 50,000. This bard-fought and
glorious triumph is thus summed up ,
by l'he Age of Thursday :
Democratic majority on

the election held in
Pennsylvania, Octo

MR. EDITOR :--I. notice in your last
issue that you refer to the last "Con
gress having passed a law imposing a
tax of 3 per cent. over and above
the present income tax of
,5 per cent."
I do not understand what lawyou re
fer to, unless it is the one approved
July 4, 1864, which imposes (another)
a Special income duty of 5 per cent. up
on the profits, gains or income for the
year ending Dec'r 31, • 1863. I append
the laW referred to, and allow me to
suggest that you publish it in a ono,.
spicuous place in your paper. I ven,
tare to say that not, one fourth!, of
the citizens of - our runty have., apy.
knowledge of nuch a-fa* being in- ex.: -
istence. The disunionists refuse to
collect this Tax till after the
dential election, I , think, we should
therefore endeavor to bring , this' , info
mous, expost facto la* to the . notice `
of the voters of Lebanon county.
