THE TAX LAw.-The afternoon session
of the Senate yesterday, was entirely oc-
cupied with q discussion of the amend
ments to the tax law as proposed by the
committee on Finance. Wepublished the
section some days since, which defined
the meaning of the term credits" This
provides that it shall be understood to
mean the surplus of the sums owing to
person after deducting all bona ide debts.
Mr.. Phelps from Auglaize, made bold
dash at the bill, and declared it could new
er receive his assent. lie could not agree
to permit this class Of persons to make de.
duclions, and not allow the farmer to
make deduction of what he owed from
the value of his farm or his stock.
Mr. Kelly replied, and was followed
by Mr.. Matthews of Hamilton, in a long
and very able speech in defence of the
bill. We understand that all the Hamil-
ton Senators entertain the same views
that were so ably expressed by Mr..
MATHEWS. There is little doubt that this
bill, substantially as reported, will pass
both Houses aud win become the law Of
the State. The debate will probably be
resumed in the Senate to-day, and it will
no doubt be discussed at some length in
the House when it reaches that body.

GAs.-ln all the towns above us this side

both. In respect of any such occasion for
complaint, we Of the Gate City are happily

ing q clear, white fame, of high illumina-
ting qualities, free from all impurities, and
perfectly odorless, As good gas as we ever
saw, and better than we often see. This
Is in good part owing to the thoroughness
with which every thing about the works has
been constructed land 20 the fact that the indi-
viduals engaged in their erection, residents Of
our city, have undertaken the enterprise as .
matter of permanent business, and not Of
temporary speculation. Persons qualified
to speak say that there are not more thorough
~ and perfectly constructed gas works in
the United States than ours, and at this sea-
con, when all our contemporaries are more or
less complaining, our people can relish the
more the fine quality and unfailing supply Of
their own gaseous luxury.
