A Rebel Plot to Abduct the
PreSid dent.

New York. March ia Washington
letter to the Tribune gives the following ac-
count ola Man submitte by C,l Margrauc
TO the rebel War Department. in November
One hundred and filty picked men were
{" 90 secretly north. and take quarters In
Washington, Georgetown, Baltimore, and
Alexandria, so as to he able to conmuni
cate ,laily with each other, and upon day
fixed by their leader, were to assemble in
Washington for the purpose Of making the
seizure. The President, it is claimed, could
be easily seized at a quiet hour at the
White House, or in going to or returning
from church. or on some other favorable oc.
cas,on. and thrust into carriage and driven
of. The carriage was to be joined few
miles out of the city. by 25 or 80 armed
men on horseback. 1t was proposed to
drive to Indian Point, about % miles south
of Washington, on the Potomac, two or
three relays Of feet horses being stationed
on the way, where boat was to be in wait
ing to cross the river, and land the captive
a few miles south Of Occoquon, VIXEN i,

Washington, March 2O.-A fuller
and more correct statement of the
leading provision of the new revenue
bill before the Committee on Ways
and Means is that tobacco is taxed
a5 per cent. advalorem in leaf, and
40 cents bound manufactured; petro.
leum 5 cents a gallon on crude and 10
cents on refined, and distilled spirits a
dollar gallon. Two of the commit
tee are said to be opposed to so high
tax. In committee one of them is
said to be obstinate in his faith that a
tax of SO cents per gallon on whiskey
will prduce more revenue than tax
of one dollar or taxes imposed in the
bill prepared at the Treasury Depart
ment. The tax on tobacco and wills.
key may 60 into the Ways and
Means Committee, reduced aud pos
sibly, but not probably, go into the
House reduced. 1t is animated that
charge of 10 cents on refined petrol
cum has been already raised by the
sub committee in addition to tn e
above.
A very large increase Of revenue
is sought to be made by the new bill
by Doubling, the price of stamps on
notes, bonds, DC, and taxing instru-
ments and forms not heretofore reach
ed, such as letters patent, deeds for
conveyance for personal property, co :
pies of instruments and documents
process and forms of justices courts,
DC. There is no tax whatever on malt.
Beer is taxed S1.5O a barrel. This
includes lager and preitzels.
