STORMY sAssIoH OF rAz cAsEEsF.
Ihe Cabinet meeting to-day was stormy,
and new Ehases and slumbering prejudiOe Z
are said to have been developed; but the firm.
ness Of the President for what he believes 10
be the best interests Of the nation, supported
by the Secretary OF state and Postmaster
General, amidst all the complication ons that
existed, prevailed over all opposition.
rHR TAX BILL.
1t has been pOsiti Sely stated that the Secra.
.ary Of the Treasury has prepared au osti-
tu se for the tax bill, to he effered In the Sc.
nats. This Is an error. The Secretary has
only furnished much information to Senators
In regard to matters Of importance tending to
perfect the tax bill. and many amendments
will doubtless be based upon this informa.
ton, and lest his approval. The Finance
Committee Of the SeGats are industriously
cJliecting, from every acc sssible source, facts
and figures to aid them in ascer aiming the

arssd that q high tax should be imps.ed upon
this, and In order to eim plify tee tax aud In
suretts real cation by the Government at the
least cost OF collection, 1t should be applied
solely to the crude spirits, as IL goes from the
