Proposed AmendmentsEtO the Revenue


The recommendations In the important report
of the Commissioner Of Internal Revenue are
understood to be approved by the Secretary Of
the Treasury. They are principally
First. That the tax on distilled spirits be not
TeoucCd one iota.
Second. That the tax on the whole tobacco
product be laid on the leaf.
Third. That If 1t be not that the tax on cigars
be laid on an dd y0iJJcm scale.
Fourth. That a tax of one half Of one per cent.
be levied on scales Of merch udsc and products
which amount to SllO00OOOOOO n year. and
which would yield SSjj 100000 Of revenue.
Fltb. That the Reciprocity treaty with Canada
lie rescinded, because it lets In a vast amount of
cOal-tbis year half a milliOn-frce Of revenue
duty and free Of the excise duty Of three and
half cents ton, ard because il draws away from
us to Canada vast quantities OF Corn-this year
four and a quarter millions Of bushes-to he dis
titled into spirits and smuggled back here in fraud
Of our revenue and because II tempts the fraudu-
lent eNportaion to Canada of our tOb tccO in the
ltat-ths year one million two hundred and
thirty seven thousand dollars worth-therc to be
manufactured into cigars, and smuggled back
over the frontier.
Sixth. That to save revenue the business of
assayrg gold and silver be done by the Govern
ment, and not at private establishments; and that
the present license fee for assaying be made so
large as to be prOhibitory.
Seventh. That crude petroleum be taxed two
or three cents gallon, and the tax on refined re-
duced TO fourteen or fifteen cents.
Eighth. That the tax on publications be laid on
the press work and binding.
Ninth. That the tariff on iron, particularly
rails, of which 10000 tons were imported from
Great Britain last year, should be raised at least
a dollar and half a ton.
Tenth. To make the test Of the yearly income
derived from real estate its rental value.
EeventheTO provide for summary and mex
pensye processes TO recover such penalties, and
procure iorleitures OF small lots of contraband
goods"
The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue esu-
mates that the excise as it stands and if not cut
down and tinkcred by Congress on the pressure
Of lobby delegations, will yield three hundred
millions year on the present business Of the
country that it will pay the current expenses of
the nation, including interest at six per cent.
on the war debt, and pay Off tie debt itself within
ninety years.

The SACRAMENTO RAILROAD CAsE.-Judge
McKune has just rendered judgment in the
case of the Sacramento Board of Supervisors
Us. the Sacramento Valley Railroad, on APP
plication for an injunction and an order to
compel the removal of the track west of
Sixth street which has been pending in the
Sixth District Court for year or two past.
He finds that the railroad, company having
a statutory right to lay down and keep their
track on said Streets the injunction asked
for to restrain them from their use and to
compel their removal must be denied, but
that portion of the relief asked for enjoining
them from using steam engines along Front
street should be granted. 1t was expected
that the case would be taken, by appeal, be-
fore the Supreme Court.

THE STATE CoNvENrIoN.-Th democracy
of California have been in council this week
in San Francisco, to appoint delegates to the
National Convention to be held in Chicago
on the 4th of July, All accounts agree in
stating that was one of the largest conven.
tons ever held in the State-al but three
small counties being represented, and but few
proxies sent. From this, something is learn
ed of the spirit that animates the organiza-
ton, and tells of their preparation for the
coming canvass. 1t shows that the democ-
racy yet lives in healthful vigor, and will
battle for their old time principles confident
in their excellence and truth, and with the
belief that the government will once again
be administered in accordance herewith as
only under such principles can a go ern-
ment like ours be conducted to greatness and
permanency,

The correspondent says:
He had crossed the lake, about tvsl,.
miles, on business, and was returning hom.
on foot. The snow was deep, and he va, .
feeble man, subject to severe attacks Of n.
asthma. He arrived at Fridays Station =,
about dark, and remained short TINA ~
rest. He was then two miles from homo
and the night was dark and one of the cola
est of the season. This was the last nlao.
he was seen till found the next morn;nc
about eight o'clock within half mile Of hi,
own house frozen stiff. Indications in III.
snow show that he had stumbled on som.
poles and fell from low bridge into hol.
partly filled with water, and in which ba
must have been entirely submerged. After
extricating himself from this position he
seems to have been bewildered and wen,
back on the road be had just come far
enough to have taken him home. He then
seems to have discovered his mistake and
turned in the direction Of home. Be.we.n
walking and crawling he succeeded in getting
half way back to where he first fell, where
he became entirely exhausted, and was found
lying in the middle of the road His cotbes
were worn through on the knees, which
were all bruised and torn, and also the palms
Of his bands were lacerated, the flesh being
literally torn from them by contact with the
hard frozen ground in crawling, in the vain
effort to reach home. He lived about half
an hour after being taken home, but never
spoke.
