' Registration. The late Autocrat of .the ?Carolinas, in tho last hours of bis reign, devised and perfected a scheine which illustrates the force of the adage, 'the ruliug passion strong in death." lie issued a Circular letter of instruction to the Boards of Registration in this Stato, in which the Acts of Congress arc distorted to a mean ing which even old Thud: Stc'vonf?, Arch-Radi cal that be is. would repudiate. Among, other remarkably bright ideas of this Th'uiiel of the prcscut, is the conclusion ho has come to, that naturalized citizens, who voluntarily engaged in tho rebellion, arc disfranchised. | His argu ment .must have been prepared under some extra-inspiring circumstances,?it"ifsV forcible. First, an alien becomes a citizen by taking the oath of allegiance. Secondly, a naturalized citizen, if he engaged in the rebellion, violated that oath. Thirdly, by violating tho oath, ho ltjvi'.v M K AN ALIEN AGAIN. If thb>.were the case, wc would congratulate our naturalized frionds.

But we suppose that this rule of of the dopartod hero is one of those bad rules, that will not work both ways., Wc imagine, that if a naturalized citizen were put on trial for treason, tho Rads would hardly use the edict of Sickles,?it wouldn't suit their case thou.

It is now som?thi?g like thirty years since the establishment Of the first Advertising Agency in this country. At that time there were scarcely eight hundred periodicals, of all descriptions printed in tho United .States, while now tho number will exceed four thousand. Advertisers have increased aud Agencies becu established in every important city, und havo proved a great assistance to the newspaper press. It is estimated that at the present time there are several hundred mcu who make , this their business, but of these no more than twenty are known to any considerable extent, and by far the most important aro two or thtco well known firms in Now York city, among which tho houso of (jeo.;j\ Roweil & Co., No. 40 Dark Row, occupies in some respects tho most prom inent position.

' Tho Commissioner eT Internal Revenue has 'recently rendered the following decisions : iJJJ^A printer is liable to the special tax as a manufacturer if the articles he prints exceed in value when printed $1(1(10 per annum. A printer is understood to be any person or firm whose business it is to take impressions from types of engraved surfaces upon paper or other materials. In determining the liability of printers to the spcci:il tax as manufacturers the value of the articles of merchandise produced by them should alone be taken into considera tion. Amounts received for inserting adver tisements in newspapers are not, therefore, to be so included. When.the contents of packages of tax paid spirits arc changed in character by mixing or reduction in proof they must lie again inspect ed ami branded in the usual manner. Drand ing the word "rectified" is optional, there being no 1 w or regulation requiring this to be done. The name und address of the firm or person doing business, or rectifiers, or wholesale deal ers, must, however, appear on the package. Gasoline, whether above or below seventy in weight, is considered to be a coal oil, so far as the payment of special tax is concerned. Weiss beer is not included in the provisions of the act of March 2, 1S(J7, excepting root beer and other small beer. It belongs to the class of fermented liquors, and is governed by the provisions of the law relating to that sub joct. The producer .should, therefore, be re quired t) pay the special tax as a brewer and a tax of one dollar per barrel upon the beer.
