The Committee Of OonSspsnce on Tia
whiaky bill had . meeting today. Il
consisted Of Senators Fesseuden, johnson
and Howe, and Representatives Wash
burne. Of Illinois, Stevens, Of Penn. and
Fernando Wood. As both Housas had
agreed to strike ont the proposed tax on
spirits on hand. it was not deemed bv the
majority Of the committee TO be in con.
trovsrsy, and hence il seems understood
that the aiding scale has been adopted
With notifications, namely: Spirits dis.
titled and sold or distilled and removed
for consumption or sale, previous to the
first OF July next, Of FIRST proof, in addi-
ton to the duties payable on licenses. .
duty OF 6Oc gallon; and upon oil liquors
which may be distilled after the passage
OF this act and sold or removed for con-
sumption or sale, on and after the frst
day of July next, and previous to the FIRST
day OF January next, 65c a gallon and
on all liquors which may be distilled after
the passage of this act and sold or re.
moved for consumption or sale on and af-
ter the first of January next, Zoe gallon.
The notifications are from 10 TO S5c. and
from 80 to Toe.
Another point in controversy has been
settled, namely: On distilled pirits i'm.
ported from foreign countries previous to
the first of July next, of first proof, ACC
per gallon; and on all such epirits impor-
ted from foreign countries on and after
the first of July next, and previous to the
first Of January. duty Of 45c, instead
OF SOC per gallon; and on all such spirits
imported on and after the first of January
next, DOC instead Of 60c per gallon.
The report of the Committee on Con.
ference will probably BE- acted upon finally
by both Houses tomorrow.

The War PreAleun.

After lapse Of some time. some one
has been found competent to set forth the
problem of the rebel dilemma. We find
it in twenty propositions. which are based
upon the leading opinions Of the North
and South, and brought into pbalanx by
an snterprising contemporary. Each propo-
sition establishes aquandary and though
the rebellion may be powerful fact, it is
at least logical impossibility:
l. If they increase their army they cannot feed IT,
2 Unless they increase their army they whippel
g. Unless the speaks their liberties gone
T. Ii the press speaks out their Government will be
gone.
s. Unless they draft the whole population they mn-t
surrender
g. If they draft the whole population they
l. Unless they ran recover East Tennessee they get
no saltpeire
s. IT they undertake to recover East Tennessee they
will get more saitpetre than they want
g. Unless they free the negroes they nothing left to
fight with.
10. If,hos free the negroes they've nothing left
fight for.
II. Ever since the rebel4l begun negroes have been
falling.
L. Nevertheless their creates, fear now Is lest the
negroes should rise
Is Unless Je Davis repudiates his present debts he
| can't borrow from anybods
"a. II he I.pniistcs, nobody will lend to him.
Is If he inpresse~ food he land desert.
Is Unless he mpresses food he turns his into de-
sertsfs.
