The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
this morning made the following decision :
II, under the terms of will the lsgatee can
demand of the executor the delivery of gold,
he cannot be held to receive legacy of money
merely for in such case the executor would
be discharged by payment in currency.
1t must, therefore, be treated as specific
legacy, the clear value in currency Of which,
at the time the legatee received it, would be
taxable.
When an advance over and above the val
uatiOn of n specific legacy on which the tax
has been paid is afterwards realized by the
sale of such specific legacy, such advance Is
regarded as neither taxable legacy nor income.

In the Canadian Parliament, last night,

of rs nays to 20 yeas:
ResOi0ed, That the removal of the reci.

garded by the people Of this province as an
object Of the utmost Importance; and TO Sc
cure that object, as well as to augment trade
and advance the prosperity of the province,
il is expedient that the work of enlargng the

erence to any other work involving any con.

One of the Government witnesses in the
Wirz trial suggests that the presence of Ia
dies in the courtroom is a serious embarrass-
ment, as it prevents some of the witnesses
from telling the whole truth, as an innate
sense of modesty and propriety prevents them
from giving certain details too disgusting to
be related in presence of women. Why can't
the women stay away and allow the naked
truth to be placed before the court Or, il
the 'ladies" have said goodbye to modesty,
the witnesses had better do so too.

THE INDIAN Rebellion AssUM-
ING A FORMIDABLE ATTITUDE.


The recent outrages psrpetrated by the hos
tile Indian tribes in Utah, and other Terrific.
ries, are directly attributable TO the advice
and encouragement Of certain well.known
leaders Of tho late rebellion. Tho present
attitude of tho Indians is quite formidable,
as far as known. The destruction Of Ave
miles OF telegraph wire belonging to the Great
Western Union line, in Utah, cuts Of all COM
munication with the vast country beyond,

about the sxact strength, position, and move
ments Of the savages. wehsve quite aforce
Of Federal troops in that region, but probably
not enough to meet general uprising Of the
Indians, which IL is not impossible may hap
pen. 1t Is to meet such an emergency as this,
we presume, that the sale Of Government
horses and mules have boon stopped at some
military posts with the intention Of fastening
forward mounted reinforcements and addi-
tionsl supplies.
These new outbreaks by the Indians must
necessarily embarrass the Government, espe-
cially in the item Of grain, for II Is q we'll
known fact that the old crop Of oats Is nearly,
IL not quite, exhausted. Tho demand for,
