verse TO their passage or adoption. Mr..

report on the same subject
The reports made by Mr.. Hickman were

The House took up the tax bill. During
debate on the section regarding distiller's
license, Mr.. Hutchins said that the noise
here was so great that it appeared as II the
contents of tine distlIeries were let out upon
the House. -
Mr. Wickliffe expressed the opinion that
some men were better judges OF how liquor
should be drank than how IT was made.
Mr. Mallory Intellectually moved an amend
ment TO exempt stills from tax when their
capacity was less than forty dollars day.
He mentioned private gentlemen who dis.
titled for their own use not for profit.
MIR. Stevens objected, saying pure and
ETHEREAL article in small quantities was man
1t was not for the neIghborhood. Did not
sse why he should be exempt from tax.
Mr.. Mallory said the liquor they made in
Kentucky is of fine quality, and they are
more liberal in its dispensation tfan the gen.
tleman's friend j b. (Lauehter) He knew
man who followed j. BIS track all day,
and at last succeeded in getting drink, de.
elarIng it was the best he ever had, but the
hardest to get at. as
Mr.. Stevens replied that the most valuable
things were the hardest 10 obtain. Ii would
not he hard, however, to put ON the small
tax proposed. Men who indulge should not
object 10 few cents on their drinks.
Various remarks were made by other gen.
tlenen on the whisky question. The most
important amendment made was, that oil
distilled spirits now manufactured, or which
may be manufactured from this date in the
United States, shall pay the same amount
per gallon, when sold, as provided by this

the first OF May, 1862, p.
| Mr.. Steele of N. H wanted TO reduce the
proposed tax on lager beer TO twenty five
cents per hbl 1t was the weakest of fer-
mented liquors, and one Of the largest man
ulacturers had informed him that a tax Of
one dollar on barrell would amount to
prohibition.
MIR. Johnson in support Of the amendment
quoted from the report OF the Sanitary Com.
mission, to show that lager is beneficial to
the health OF soldiers, and is prescribed by
PHYSICIANS as fine tonic. Lager has taken
the place ofold strong beer, which is equally
exhliarating and not SO offensive.
Mr.. Fessenden, of Me-, was in favor OF q
dollar on a barrel, because it would amount
to prohibition. Our young men take their
first lessons on lager and porter, then pro.
gress to whisky and graduate to brandy.
Mr.. Morrill,, Of VT, offered an amendment
, say ING, while lager beer is manufactured very
much cheaper than porter, it sells for the
, same price, hence it should not be exempt
from taxation.
Mr.. Pendleton, ofOhio, pronounced lager
good and influential in bringing out mans
humanitarian feelings.
Mr. BLAIR, said lager elected Lincoln more
than anything else.
| Mr.. Pendeton, Of Ohio, rej0iced that the
article had thus been prevented from its orig
ina application. 1t had been stolen from
the democrats.

speech on lager. lie himself once drani
