THE RADICAL PROGRAMME FOR
THE NEXT SESSION OF CON.
GRESS-SENATOR STEWARDS
PLAN RECOMMENDED.

The New York Independent announces,
as quoted below, the radical pro ogramme for
the next session of Congress-"Universa
Amnesty and Universal Suffrage"-the plan
proposed by Senator STEWART, of Nevada, at
the last session:
"The Republican party is now master of
the situation. 1t can execute its wishes
against every veto of the President. 1t can
henceforth plead no lack Of power in excuse
for failure Of duty. If, now, the Republican
two-thirds or three-quarters majority in next
winters Congress shall not propose recon.
struction on the basis Of impartial suffrage,
then upon its own head shall rest the unend-
ing dishonor. Let it say to the South, We
seek no mans life; we cOnfscate no mans S
property; we propose no measure of ven
geance; we gladly assent to a general am
nesty; but, on the other hand, we demand
that the negro shall be invested with his just
political rights; and we announce that unless
these terms shall be accepted by the South as
the terms of her retuan to Congress, not one
Of her ten excluded States shall return at
oil. This is the true position for next De-
cember. May God give to Congress wisdom
to see it, courage to venture it, and fortune
to achieve i'll"

THE METEORIC EXHIBITION.

The showmen are just now laughing at the
astronomers. They say that the promised
exhibition of stellar fireworks celestial
rockets, Roman candles, pin wheels, etc., was
almost a total failure. 1t was advertised
more extensively than any show of the sea-
son. 1t was even advertised and pulled in
the New York Herald. Now, say the show

here and there--not enough to pay for gas,

License Tax Of Bankers.

The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
has rendered decision relative to the license
tax Of bankers, in which he says that under
the provisions Of the act of June 80, 1864,
the license taxes Of bankers are based upon
the amount Of capital used or employed.
The Solicitor Of the Treasury has given Il as
his opinion that the surplus earnings Of an
incorporated bank are no part of its capital
within the meaning and intent of that part of
said act which relates to license taxes, and
that the license tax of such bank should not
be assessed upon sum greater than its char
tered capital.
Wherever, therefore, sum greater than
the chartered capital has been made the
measure of such tax for the current year,
the excess will be abated upon an application
made in proper form to the Office Of Internal
Revenue

THE BATEMAN NCOECERT-GREA
MUSICAL TRIUMPH OF MADAME
PAREPA,

The weather last evening was so horrible
that no attraction short Of the exquisite, the
unrivalled singing Of Madame PARErA could
have drawn out such an audience as was as
sembled at the Bateman concert in Metze-
rott Hall. The most intelligent and critical
admirers Of music, as well as the most fash
ionable people in the city composed the as
semblage, and they deemed themselves amply
repaid for Drawing the storm and facing the
music" The Bateman concert troupe is
made up Of first-class artists, but Madame
PAREPA is the bright particular star Of the
company. Even the golden-voiced BRroNoLr,
who was wont to set the young ladies in
ecstacies, and who is now exactly in his
prime, failed to rise above the second place
in the estimation Of the audience.
While the singing of PARErA evinces the
most thorough culture, her manner is marked
by an apparently unstudied grace, which
lends an additional charm to her perform.

traordinary effects, but sings as easily and
naturally as the nightingale or the mocking.

sings like child of nature. Her voice
ranges evenly through wide compass, and
she delivers the high and low notes with
equal facility, while for purity Of tone and
power of expressionit is unrivalled. Madame
PAREPA also speaks and sings in five Ian
guages so perfectly that she has been taken
for q native of each of the countries tc
which they belong; ten cities claimed HONOR
and five languages claim her voice.

The needle gun has range of only four hun
