Revenue BilI.

The Revenue Bill that has just passed the
Legislature, will make stir among delin-
quent tax payers. slts provisions are Of the
most stringent character. There will be no
room under this bill for complaint about the
wortblessness OF tax titles. On the contra
ny, every guarantee is given that can be
asked for by those who desire to invest in tax
sales. And the redemption of property thus
sold, 10 made more difficult than at any pre-
vious time; the penalty being doubled the
day after sale.
The necessity for more stringent law to
enforce the collection OF taxes has long been
obvious. Non-residents and spectators
within the State, have regarded With indif-
dsrepas th4 .'.irss - Abe S.at4 unop thsr-

WASHINGTON, Ap

WAsnrNGToE, April 10.
HoUsg.--Mr. Taylor, q member Of the
Committee of Judiciary. read bis argument
In support OF the Presidents protest. He
denied that the House had unlimited power
to infinite or Garry out the investigation OF
an acco unit, according to it's mere will or
pleasure; II SO, this would not be consistent
with tho great principle OF Law everywhere
recognized when tho rights OF individuals
are concerned, and, ~ q consequence, the
adoption of the resolution 10 relation to the
President was in violation of this great prin-
ciple Of law. He refers to the powers OF the
Select Committee as extraordinary and in
quisitorial, when not . particle OF evidence
against the President had been placed before
the House.
SksArE.--Mr. Sumner presented memo
rial of Mr.. Sanborn, of Concord, Mass, in
regard to the gross attempt to kidnap him
by persons claiming to act under authority
Of the u. S. Senate. Mr.. Sumner narrated
the circumstances attending the capture of
MIR. Sanborn and bis subsequent release, and
said the act was conspicuous, both as regards
the mao against whom the attack was d.
rected, and the place where it occurred. MIR.
Sanborn was quiet gentleman, of excellent
fame as q scholar and Of pure life. This was
the man who was seized; this attempt was
made at Concord, where q seizure was once
before attempted, which ended in the revo-
| luton of these Statea. Tha Sonata owed
something to it's own character, and should
wash it's hands Of tho transaction. He NOV
ed the reference of the memorial to the Ju-
| dietary Committee.
/ Mr. Mason said this man Sanborn was
shown TO be either in correspondence with
| the man who was hung at Harper's Ferry as
traitor or murderer, or with some OF his
friends. lie had therefore been summoned
by the Committee OK the Senate to testify
lie refused on the ground that he feared
personal violence. A warrant was then is-
sued against him, and the Sergeant at srms
sent deputies to arrest him, who did so, blu,
he was rescued by mob, and afterwards
discharged by Justice Shaw upon q writ oil
habeas corpus.
Mr.. Sanborn's memorial was then read

cells in our penitentiary is four stories in
height, We believe, with grated windows in
each story looking into the courtyard. This
girl climbed up the lowest window 10 far az
she could, the CRATE bars enabling her to
cling to it firmly, and when at the top, she
managed, in some inexploable way, to fast
en- the sheet OF her bed to the next window
above, then climbed the sheet to that window i,
climbed up it TO the top, as she had done
with tho frat one, and again fastened the
sheet to the window above, and thus man
