The sprightly Washington correspondent of tn
Chicago Times elucidates the national tax hi
and amendments in the following plain and sati,
factory term:
streak of good sense seems to have com
over the House of Representatives, In the prr
gress OF the debate on the tax bill, they hav
maze Two important alterations in the tax laws
Ghe was 10 alter the income tax, so as to max
tne amount exempt from taxation $1,000 instead q
$500, as formerly This may seem small matter
puU 10 all persons whose incomes are $4,000 It is
very important matter
:, Under the law as it stands now, persons whose
! incomes are only $780, S2000 or s2500 n vaar
| nave very heavy income tax to nav. becauSe al
| the deductions, including house rent Office rant
4 expenses Of business taxes, and the exempt sG06
ao hoG amount generally to over Sl4O0 or $500 a
year, leaving from SlO0.tO $1,000 on which the taY
must be computed and which at per cent
amounts to from S. to $50. If the amendment iua+
passed becomes law, it viii make the exemnrione
ge1eFaIy amount to the whole amount Of incomes
under S2OJO, so that generally PERSONS whose in.
comes do not reach S2500 will have little or No in
come tax to pay, The exemptions on incomes Of
S59gO viii generally be about $500 leaving $500
suoJeGt 70 the tax, which, in this case will be S25
enough to pay, certainly
Here are some figures which will illustrate the
dltierence between the law as it now stands. and

IMPORTANT WILL CAsE.-A case which
has attracted considerable attention in
Addison County, and called into reoui-
sition the services Of 4 very able array
Of counsel, was tried before Judge Pier
point at the late term o. Addison Coun-
ty Court. 1t seems that Mr.. Joshua
Wetherbeo of Ferrisbmgh, having in
1855 made a will leaving his property,
amounting to $4,000, about equally to
his two children, Mr.. Amos Wetherbee
and Mrs. Emily Reese, subsequently, in
1861, during his last illness, made anoth.
er will by which the property was not
so equally divided. Suit was brought
in behalf of Mrs. Keeses children to set
aside the last WILL on the ground of
mental incapacity of the testator at the
time. The counsel engaged were for the
executor Hon. G. W. Grandey, Hon. J.
