Modification of the Faxes.

The committee on ways and means in
Congress have nearly perfected their pro-
posed amendments of the internal rev
enue system, and will probably report
this week They expect to strike of
taxes amounting to about fifty millions
yearly, to include all those of q petty
character, bringing in little revenue but
expensive and veXatiOus in collection
and to tighten or wholly remove
also, large portion of those laid
directly upon the manufacturing indus
try of the country. The additional tax
on manufactures, imposed by the tax OF
last winter, will be abrogated, so that it
will stand at 3 per cent as in the first
law; the tax on all articles Of clothing
will be largely reduced, and licenses
amounting to about one per cent. will
be required And the following present
taxes will be removed altogether: Pa
per, types, ink, books, newspapers, coal,
repairs, crude petroleum, tailors, milli-
ners, mantaumakers, railroad receipts,
slaughtered animals, lead, copper, spell
ter, brass, and the other metals in in
gots; steel and pig iron certain agri-
cultural implements, such as plOws, har-
rows, rakes, tanning mills, pitchtorks,
&c; all paints, al manufactured oils,
except those made from coal all mine
raj water; all articles used by stereo-
typers and photographers; lime, cement,
brick, starch, umbrellas, parasols etc;
The whisky tax Of two dollars a gallon
will not be changed; the cotton tax is
not decided it is proposed to make it
five cents per pound, but manufacturers
insist on a drawback on goods for ex-
port, which is strongly resisted by many
members from agricultural districts /;
there is also doubt as to the income tax
the committee at one time agreed to
an exemption Of $400 for single men
5000 for married men without families
and $50 added for each child in a family
with a uniform rate of five per cent. on
all above these exemptions; but it is
quite likely that this scale may be
changed before the bill is reported

state that Capt. Grace Of the steamship
England reports that on Tuesday Of last
week the first case OF cholera occurred,
since which time one hundred and sixty
more cases have broken out and fifty
deaths have occurred She was ordered
off by the government, but owing to the

gineers being sick IL was found impos'
sible to proceed. She now lies below

ship, and shanties erected on the beach
for the sick. There will be no Commu-

SUICIDE. Mr.. James WincheN Of
Poultney, aged 60 years, committed sui
eide by hanging, on Tuesday afternoon
last. Having been absent for several
hours his wife went to call him to tea,
and found him in the barn, dead. He
had placed leather strap over q beam,
putting it around his neck, and getting

in which his body was found. He has

Mr.. Winchell was a prominent aud
enterprising citizen, having long been
identified with the business interest, of
the village OF his residence. He was
for many years associated with the late
Col. Anon Bailey in manufacturing. He
has been Justice Of the Peace for
about twenty years, and represented
Poultney in the Legislature in 1859 and
1860.
Poultney has lost threee of its prOmi-
nent citizens within few months past,
all Of whom were associates and init
mate friends, and represented the town
in the General Assembly-John Lewis,
Esq, Hon. Anon Bailey and Mr.. Winch

Only six Of the repre- sentatives Of
Poultney, previous to 1860, are now liv-

Farnum, Henry G. Neal, Joseph Joslin,
John B. Beaman, Frederick Ruggles.

THE PORTLAND FIRE.

THE great disaster at Portland. Maine,
July 4th, adds smother illustration Of the sd-
vantsges Of GENUINE UNDERWRITING
md STRONG INDEMNITY, in trying
emergencies.
Portland was one Of the most substantial
built cities in the United States, having o
large preponderance Of stone, brick and fire
proof buildings. Yet il vas nearly swept
from existanee in a few hours, by "eon-
temptable Fire cracker"
The losses by the Companies which we
represent, have been greatly exaggerated; but
large as they actually were, the Companies
alter paying them in full, show footings that
will compare favorably with the best Com
panies in existapee.
Reports have been freely circulated that
the Capitol Of the Hartford Insurance Co.. has
been impaired; they are false. and the con-
struetIon OF the reports Of the "New York In
sursnee Department" to support such state
ments are frauds. rhe figuring used by the
"Hon. Wm. Barnes" in that report applied
TO the "XEina Co." would show like result.
The Hartford Times reports sales Of Etna
shares at 5000. decline Of $50. Hartford
shares Sl15. a decline Of Slh, since the Port
land Fire. We mention the "XEtna" because
that company claim that they are ''par ex
eellence' the best OF all Insurance Companies.
We claim that there are others rs good, and
the HARTFORD and METROPOLITAN
are among them.
The Hartford Company after paying $780,
900 losses at Portland has q capitol and sur
plus OF 81 100000
The Metropolitan lns. Co., sher paying
over 5000 900 losses at Portland, has n capitol
and surplus of over 81 100000 left, with
which they will further illustrste the aivan-
tages Of GENUINE INSURANCE aud
Strong indemnity.
Consider the insignificant origin of fires,

for any DESCRIPTION of Insurance required.

Rail Road Matters.

1T will be remembered that, in May
last. negotiations were had in New
York looking to an early building of
the Covington and Ohio Rail Road.
The company then proposing TO do
the work, asked for an option of
ninety days before completing the
CONTRACT, which was granted them by
the Commissioners representing the
States of Virginia and West Virgin
ia. The ninety days have now ex-
pred, and we are permitted to state
that the company, in answer to
telegram from the Hon. G. W. SUM
MERs. of Kanawhs, Ion Monday last,
replied that-"the contract accepted
on certain conditions" What the
conditions are it is not at present
known, but it is supposed they will
not interfere with the closing of the
contract, and the early commence
ment of work on this great enter
prise. We shall, however, know
more definitely of the matter in
short time.
In regard TO our survey, Mr..
GRAVES has finished the field work,
and is now engaged with the calcu
lations, profiles, &c, which will oc-
cupy some two or three weeks. An
estimate of the cost OF this survey
has been made, and it will amount to
20 per cent. on the subscription, in
addition to the Is already collected
total 30. The subscribers to this
fund will be called on in few days
for the additional assessment OF 20
per cent, and it is hoped that all
will be prepared to promptly respond
to the call. 4
