HoUsE.-Mr Stevens from the commit
tee OF Ways and Means reported back the
JOINT resolution explanatory Of SO much of
the Internal Revenue account as refers to
the duty on cigars, an abetract OF which was
printed in the papgGs on Wednesday morn
ing.
hr. Brooke, Of New York, said that the
Secretary o. the Treasury had recommend
si that the tax be laid on the leaf, and ne
now wished to know whether the Commit
tee of Ways and Means intended to charge
the duty on tobacco. He suggested that
the bill be postponed for q few days. Tor fur
ther examination. There was no doubt,
from the best information, that the best way
was to attach one cent stamp TO each clgar
sold, aud this would produce larger reve-
nue. than the principle in the bill.
Mr.. Stevens explained that all the Com-
mittee had done was to put proper con-
struction on the law, in contradistlnction to
very erroneous decision OF the Commis-
sioners Of Internal Revenue.
Mr. Stevens showed that nine-tsnths Of
theeigars manufactured since Congress adj
journed had paid three dollars instead OF
eight dollars per thousand, owing, to the
construction OF the Commissioner OF Inter
nal Revenue.
At the suggestion Of Mr Stevens, further
consideration OF the subject was postponed
