TELEGRAMS, &C.

Senator Sherman was serenaded last night at
Mount Carbon, Penn, and in the course OF his
speech said that during the war the Govern
mentwas compelled 70 resort to the utmost
limits of taxation; but that the business OF Con-
gress would be after securing peace upon the
basis OF universal liberty, 70 relieve ourselves
from taxation no longer necessary. In making
this reduction we naturally look TO those arti-
cles, the chief cost Of which is low labor, the
foundation of wealth. and should be as free
from burdens as the air. The cheerfulness
with which all classes and occupations bore
taxes during the war makes il doubly the duty
of Congress TO lessen and eQualize the taxes
now. He confidently anticipated that in a
short time the duties on imported goods, a
moderate income tax, and a tax on luxuries,
would enable us TO perform honorably all our
obligations.
A grand commercial banquet will shortly
