AR. sUMNER's RESOLUTION IN RE

We observe with some surprise, that q con-
temporary, the New York Commercial Aduer.
tiser, is disposed 70 treat Mr.. Summers Iesolu-
ton In the Senate, In respect 70 the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Sianly ss Military Governor Of
North Carolina, % an attack upon the Admin
istrstion. Such supposition sccords - little
with the general understanding ss 10 the friend.
" relations Of Mr.. Sumner with the Admins
tration, a. II does with the public history Of
this question.
Long before anything was done by the Ad.
mioistra'ion In the matter Of appointing Mill
tary Governors for States. Mr.. Sumner bad
offered q series Of resolutions In the Senate,
setting forth lin substance) that by reason Of
tie non. existence in certain States Of any gov.
ernments, which could be recognized % State
governments, nothing remained constitutional.

Of temporary territorial authorities. Without

Was the correct one, although We have nevel
doubted that 1t was, Il was at suy rate ,bt
vsw which M. sumner, as Senator, had taken
and maintained.
Without knowing anything specially about
bis motive in offering the resolution in respect
10 Gov. Slsnly, we did not and do not see 10 II
anything beyond the maintenance Of bis con.

TnE TAX BILL.


The tax bill wss very thoroughly considered
BY the Senate, before being returned 10 The
House. The labon Of the Finance Committee
Of the Senats upon the bill were long and ar
duous, and the great praise bestowed BY the
press upon the Chairman Of that Committee
(hr. FEsssxpsS,) for bic persevering attention
10 II, is abundantly deserved. Taxation Il not
popular business, In any way In which Il can
bs managed. It d thing Of dry and disa'
sreeable details The patience Of the Finance
COMMITTEES was untiring. Having long ,es
sions every day, they gave every interest IN
oral hsaring before them, adopting many Of
the suggestioos thus made, and where that Wa
not practicable, still Satisfying oil parties ol
their desire 70 do equal and well considered
Justice.
We shall endesvOr 10 nnd room al an early
day, for the speech Of Mr.. FssENDlN, on Fri
day, closing the discussion on the bill, cum.
ming up It's leading features, and exhibiting BIZ
we'll considered views upon the general anao.

pliment 70 this speech, at the end Of an almost
iotermiuable debate upon 40 uninviting sub.
ject ~ that Of taxation, that Mr.. FEssENDEs Wa
called upon from all sides Of the Senate, TO 40
on and speak longer
The general drifl Of the amendments made
by the Senate, Is In The direction Of reduction,
both In the items taxed and In the rate Of taxa
tion. Among the tsxables stricken out BY the
senate, are dogs, watches and plate. The tax
Of ono cent per pound on cotton proposed by
the House, is reduced one-hslf
II Is proper to be said that some Senators
supported this bill. who, II the whole question
had been an original one, would have preferred
something more simple, and throwing The bur
den Of taxation upon shorter schedule Of Or
'icles But In the view Of these Senators, def.
eIsnce to the constitutional power Of the House
TO originate tax bills, limited the Senate 10 the
duty Of rejecting, or approving, or amending
the bill inatured by the House, and did not per.
NIT the Senate to originate sn altogether differ.

ment.
Whatever further notifications Of detail this
bill may undergo. a. the result Of conference
between the two branches Of Congress, the In
dications are decisive that the people will re-
ceive II with patriotic oheeriulnee, and give II
a fair trial. There Is no disposition in the pub
lie mind TO be oaptious The people know that
liberty and government are worth paying for,
