1t is reported that secretary Cobb has decid-
ed upon the tenor of bis annual report, and that
among bis propositions to increase the revenue
IS the lesying Of duty Of "a per cent. upon
coffee and tea. from which he expects to realize
$1,000, 900 per annum. It is scarcely posi-
BILE to propose financial measure that would
be more generally obnoxious than this one, and
it is difficult to believe that Mfr. Cobb seriously
contenplates it. Notwithstanding the anxiety
displayed BY many ardent democrats for "direct
taxation" they viii not submit with good grace
TO a heavy advance ii the prices of coffee and
sea Of any other indispensable necessary.

Central Airline railroad, in letter to the di
rectory esiyniny his office, states that the cost
to the company of getting the Iowa land grant
through congress, during the session of 1854,
was seven hundred thousand dollars! In plain
language, that $4,000 were used to bride
members of congress to vote for the bill He
says that original 'pecuniary compliments"
were bestowed in the shape of lands, of which
the company donated near 800. 600 acres; but
subsequently the lands were exchanged by the
congressman for the stock of the company to
the amount stated. Could a more disgraceful
piece Of Legislative venaty and rascality be
produced in the world?

Our citizens will readily endorse it:
Judge Henry NJ. spofford, late one Of the
judges Of the supreme court Of the State, has
resumed practice, and opened an Office in this
city. The retirement of judge Spoford from
the bench was deeply regretted, as it deprived
tile State Of Judge in whose learning, capaci-

posed. It WILL however, be to his own large
gain and to that of the suitors by whom these
qualities will be better paid than they were by
Che public.
