Che Tax Bill aud Tariff Bill.

The Senate has made progress in consider
ing the Internal Revenue Bill which passed
the House some weeks ago. and has deter
mined to hold evening sessions till it is dis
posed of. OF course the number Of amend
nents will be considerable before the bill be
comes law. y new Tariff bill was reported
to the House by the Committee on Ways and
Means on Friday last The alterations pro-
posed in the existing tariff are very numer-
ous-in general advancing the rates on luxu-
ries very largely, and considerably on many
articles which are considered necessaries
We can specify hut few items Teas are
to pay duty of p cents pound; Sugars
from to cents pound-refned (such as
loaf, lump and confectionery from 5 to Is
cents a pound Molasses from sugar-cane 10
cents gallon Brandy and distilled spirits
50 a gallon; Wines from 90 to - cents
gallon, besides an al raiorem duty of % per
cent; Sparkling Wines in bottles 30 cents
bottle; Ale and Beer in bottles s. cents. in
casks 50 cents Il gallon: on Snuff, Tobacco
and Segars there is large increase. The
duty on Iron and Steel, and steel manuiac-
tured articles is also advanced. So, also, for
Manufactures Of other metals. Foreign Woods
and foreign Wooden Goods. or partly Of wool
and partly Of cotton. also are TO pay high
duties. The enumeration of articles under
these heads with duty assigned, partly speci-
iic and partly ad ralorem, is very extensive
aud 50 Of articles Of porcelain and glass man
uiacture, and a multitude OF other articles
If goods are brought in foreign vessels,
discriminating duty Of ten per cent. is to be
levied on them. The new duties prescribed
in the bill arc to take effect on the lst ofJuly
Though the action Of Congress il slow about
raising revenue. it l. intended to he sure.
rs for an early adjournment, we see no
prospect Of it.

The WRONGS OF OUR PRlsoNERs.-Repeat-
cd, minute and reliable as have been the &C
counts of the horrible condition of the L. S.
soldiers recently released from prolonged
starvation and suffering in the rebel prisons
at Richmond, and greatly as our sympathies
have been stirred in their behalf, we have
never realized the full horrors of their state
a. we did on Saturday evening, when We re-
ceiyed from our friend q. 5 BLoDGErr, A.
Q. NJ. at Annapolis. photographs of two of
the Ipor fellows, taken upon their arrival
from Richmond a few days since They arc
pictures Of living skeletons, mere skin and
bone, the very muscle seeming to have be-
come consumed the arms and thighs reduc-
ed to the size of the bone the ribs as dis
tinct as in the bare skeleton the eyes and
checks sunkcn to the bone; features retain
ing only enough of form to add 70 the ghast-
ly expression of skull the melancholy and
forlorn expression Of human being diving
VI my tltec sur Inc tOuulLlUn OF
these men is such as i produced by no dis
ease, save the last stages of prolonged con-
sumption, and that was not their case. The
trouble with these two poor sufferers was
III treatment at the hands Of re5el,. Their
pictures are accompanied by certificate Of
their correctness by Surgeon y. S. Wander
kieft Surgeon in charge Of Div No. l [. 5
General Hospital at Annapolis. If there is
any one who is lacking in hatred Of this
murderous rebellion or in appreciation of the
barbarity by which it is in part sustained,
We shall be happy to rouse both by sight
at the photographs of Private jackson 0.
Broshears, 65th Indiana, who in health
weighed is lbs. and now weighs los, and is
improving very fast, " and of John Q Rose,
Ky. Sth who was released from Richmond.

fleets of his treatment by the rebels.

political influence, made himself in the role
of a politician. Phillips also got slap
from George Thompson, the English NJ. p.
Phillips had mildly intimated that Thomp-
express opinions about its politics where
upon the Englishman declared that Phillips
had nothing to teach him about American
affairs he had heard him deliver four long
speeches, and all he had learned that was
new to him was that Abraham Lincoln is
- weak, imbecile, falsehearted officer and
man, which he did not believe. Having
exchanged compliments Of this sort with
great freedom Of speech, the majority Of the
convention voted on the side of Phillips and
adopted resolutions denouncing the Prcsi-
dent.

The Telegraph announced day in advance
that the radical and sorehead Convention al
Cleveland, would number over thousand
delegates, and that "the enthusiasm for Ere
mont was carrying crGybing Jetore IT..
The actual account Of the Convention does
notquite bear out this swelling announcement
1t was small and evidently anything but en-
thusiastic affair. The Convention 1t will be
remembered was the result of three calls
one by the radical Missouri republicans ::
one by the Central Fremont club of n. Y.
and one by John COchrane and some other
dissatisfied democrats. The attendance it
seems was about one hundred and fffv, OF
IS delegates to a call. Many of those were
without credentials from any organization,
but all were admitted The only names of
any prominence whatever we see men
toned as present were Ex-Gov. johnson of
Pennsylvania, who was temporary chairman,
John Cochrane, who was permanent chair
man, and Parker Pillsbury. Among the
Vice presidents we see the name of VIM.
Casey of Vermont, somebody of whom we
have never heard before. Motions were made to
wait till after the Baltimore Convention to
postpone nomination till September; and to
adjourn to the radical convention at Balti-
more June 9th but all failed or were declared
out of order. John C. Fremont was then
nominated by reclamation. Cen Cochrane
then asked leave TO retire from the Conven-
ton and was nominated as Vice President,
and committee was appointed to report on
an organization and name for the party.
This whole Fremont movement is really of |
no consequence whatever, and we shall be |
surprised if Gen. Fremont does not with
draw his name from what can only prove n |
perfect fzzle. If not he will ''carry all be- |
fore him, just as the lrishman nag did in the
scrub race. allow is he doing, Patrick
asked Patrick's friend. Beautiful, honey. |
Don't you sec him there behind, dhriuing
all before him?
