he thought It was but right that those
who are resping the profits # war should
pay literally In taxes. II We increased our
national debt and put those taxes upon
fatHre generations aud compelled those
soldiers who had fought our battles to bear
the expenses OF the war. This would be
unjust,
Mr.BroWn-I have no objection to the re-
ference of this resolution to the committee
on finance, If Il Was introduced simply for
setting forth the views entertained by the
Senator from Wis., Mr.. DOolittle) of indi-
eating the direction to which he thought
inquiry should be made, but if it Is going
to take the Senate BY general consent, and
is 70 be taken as any indication that the
Senate concur in the suggestions made, I
for one say that differ very widely in re-
gard TO the policy be has indicated, aud
the effects 70 follow from that which he
seems 20 anticipate. l will add but one
more word, and say this, that think the
gentlemen are perhaps mistaken In regard
to the extent to which taxation can be car
ried, and that We are perhaps nearer to the
point At which it can be properly borne
than many persons imagine.
Mr.. Brown continued his remarks adTo-
eating q reduction Of expenditures in the
conduct Of the government
Mr. Dooliitle-I agree with the Senator
from Missouri entirely in what he says
about the propriety of reducing expenses
in every feasible way. will 60 with him
in every effort 70 reduce them and to compel
the Administration in every department Of
the government TO exercise the strictest
economy AT the same time our necessary

do not expect, of course, that these
resolutions shall go forth with the uuAn-
imous views of the Senate upon the points
/ have mentioned; still the points are of
sufficient interest and Importance 20 be
we'll considered by that committee. The
resolution WAS then referred without OBJ
lection.
MIR. Chandler moved that the resolutions
offered BY him to-day be printed, which
Mr.. Brown offer the following which
WAS adopted:
Resolved, That the Committee on Mill.
tary Affairs and the Militia be instructed
to inquire into the exPediency of repeating
an act of Congress, of March 21st, 1851,
''entitled an act to remove the U. s. Ar
senal from the city OF st. Louis, and TO
provide for the sale Of the land on which
the building Is located"
Mr.. DOolittle moved that all bills and
memorials which were pending at the
close Of the last session of Congress be
referredtO their appropriate committees.
This was carried.
a joint resolution from the House was
announced, giving notice to Great Britain
of the Reciprocity Treaty.
Mr.. Foster moved to refer it to the
Committee on Commerce.
Mr.. Sumner thought it ought to go to
the Committee on Foreign Relations, aud
il was on motion so referred.
Tho Senate then went into executive
session, and soon after adjourned.

BrTHE LADIES SOLDIERS AID Soo1E
TY.-WHAT Is HAS DONE AND WHAT IT De.
sERvEs.-SUPPER AND FESTIVAL THIS EvRH-
MEAS most of our readers have already
been advised, the Supper and Festival of
the Ladies Soldiers Aid Society takes place
at Washington Hall this evening. The la.
dies have left nothing uudone to make
the entertainment worthy of the patronage
OF the public, and it is only necessary to
make known tho noble cause to which the
proceeds are to be devoted in order to Sc
cure the attendance and hearty &C. opera
tion of every loyal man and woman in the
city and vicinity.
The members of the Ladies Soldiers Aid
Society deserve all honor and praise for
their noble work in the cause of humanity.
By report which one of their number has
recently made we learn that the Assoeia-
ton has performed within the past two
nOnthsan immense amount of good and have
relieved many pressing wants in the homes
of wives and children, In the hospital and
in the field. They have contributed to the
soldiers and their families large lots of
clothing, bandages, canned fruits, and use
full and essential articles too numerous to
mention. In addition to this the ladies
have, to the great sacrifice of their ease and
comfort, given their personal attention to
the wants of the soldiers families wherever
found in the city. They go about to the
families of people who have been blessed
with enough and to spare of the worlds
goods and gather up cast away clothing
which they renoVate and mend up with
their own hands, and seeking the poor and
needy distribute the garments thus render
ed almost as good as new.
This work, we regret to say, has heEetou
fore been performed by comparatively few
of the members of the Association. Orig
inally the Society numbered about one
hundred active members, but latterIy
twenty-five or thirty have had to bear the

ought to receive a generous response to
to their appeals. Tickets may be had at
