WASHINGTON, February <.
Hon Benjamin Eggleston this afternoon
offered in the House u resolution, In effect,
that it is unwise to reduce the internal tax
on spirits.
Objections being made to its introduc-
ton Mt this time, the resolution went over.
Mr.. Eggleston explains that the commits
sion TO report on the internal revenue tax
recommends reduction of the tax on spir-
its from two one dollar per gallon.
The report has been published and sent
all over the country.
The result is that the trade in spirits is
paralyzed, and business in that line almost
suspended, and 1t must remain so until
Congress acts, as it may be some weeks be-
fore the Committee on Ways and Means
will make their report
Mr.. EgglestOn thinks il best to pass the
resolution, and dispose of the question Mt
once, that the apprehension of the business
community may be at rest.
Mr.. Wentworth, of Illinois, and others
representing the corn interest, oppose the
resolution offered by Mr.. Eggleston, and
advocate the reduction on spirits, as pro-
posed by the commission.
Upon inquiry this morning, ! find
that the Committee on Ways and Means
have not yet considered the proposition To
reduce the tax on whisky, aud so far as in-
formal conversations with the members OF
the committee VIII spread l1ght upon thelr
future action in committee, can state that
there is scarcely u doubt that the proposed
reduction on spirits will not be approved
by the Committee, but on the contrary,
they will insist that the House adhere To
the present tax of two dollars per gallon.
In the Senate this afternoon, Mr.. Trum-
bull, from the judiciary Committee, re-
ported back the Frecdmcn's Bureau Bill as
1t passed the House, with the recommends
ton that the House amendments be con-
CURED in, with the exception of two OF
three, the most important of which is the
amendment which confines its operations
to the States wherein the writ of hdJeds
corpus was suspended on the first Of Feb
ruary, 1896. The Committee recommend
that this be stricken out, because it would
prohibit the operations of the Bureau IN
the States of Maryland, Delaware and Mis-
souri,, where they think 1t is needed.
| 1t would have come to vote this after
noon, but Hon. Garret Davis got the flool
and proposed to talk upon the subject. The
bill may go toa conference committee yet

Friday, : February 9, 1866.


THE OPERA-IoUsE-BENEFIT OF Miss
Heron, To-NfeHTAKot2eb excellent
play of the stranger" was witnessed on
last evening by tolerably large audience,
who seemed delighted with the refined lit
crary treat presented by Miss Heron, in her
most gifted style. Her Mrs. Hdller was
certainly as fine a rendition of the natural
rs it is possible for human mind to conceive.
1t has been the custom of play-going peo-
ple-and, we are sorry to say, zone more
honored in the breach, than in the observ-
ance"-to condem, upon sight, any one who
aspires to act, if such one, do not 'strut
and below through the lines, or sdlo The
air with both hands, and mouth it TO such
an extent, as to make, not only the scnti
ment and poetic breathings Of the author
absurd, but the language itself unintelllgi-
bic to its creator.
1t is not claimed for Miss Heron that she
anlimmense actress, according to the mis-
conceived acceptation of the term but that
She is genius of the high-art school. Her
pictures have nothing artificial; nothing of
the affected; she apes not to ''please the
million" She forgets that she is the mimic,
the representative of the ideal, and enters
upon the task with her whole soul, with an
impulse so real, as to loose sight of all
identity OF self; gives ''virtue her own fea-
tlre, scorn her own image, and the very
age and body of the time his form and pres
sure" Jndicious care is ever foremost in
her mind, that the part is not "over-
done = cor come tardy or" Accordingly,
her Mrs. Halter was natural picture of an
erring, guilty, but rcpentant woman, and
we know of no one, who could better por-
tray the deepening throes of anguish and
rcmorsc, than as depicted by Miss Heron.
She was fairly supported by the company.
Mr.. Gossin's Stranger was well dressed and
misanthropic enough for all purposes, but
Inc was more stranger to the text than his
style Of acting was to the audience. Mr.. AL
len rs Solomon was all that Kotzebue could
wish, and Davies Peter was not the least
attractive feature in the play.
To- night Miss Heron takes benefit, and
presents for public approval, the Great Sem
sational Drama of ''Gamea, The Jewish
Mother" This will be its first representa-
| ton in this city, and as Miss Heron has upon
more than one occasion played it for weeks
| together in the Eastern cities, with over
whclming success, we may expect the SEN
satiOn to be felt here, and in such manner
as TO give her something handsome in a full
house.

SUDDEN DEATH or A Young LADY.-The
Springfield Republic mentions the sudden
death, in that city, on Tuesday night, Of
Miss Lora Smythe, one of the pupils of the
Springfield Female College. She was taken
i'll at about five o'clock on Tuesday after
noon, being seized with hysterical spasns.
She was of an extremely nervous tempera-
ment and it is thought that an affection of
the heart, under the influence of the spasms,
was the final cause of her death, which oc-
CURED at II o'clock on the evening of her
illness. Medical aid was promptly at hand,
and every resource employed to avert the
stroke of death, but without avail. Miss
Smythe was about eighteen years of age, a
young lady of rare accomplishments, and
greatly beloved by her associates and ac-
quaintances. She took part in a concert of
the Female College ON the Thursday even
ing previous, and her performance on that
occasion was the subject of special admira-
tion.

The Dramn in DaytOn.

Mr.. Editor:-Since the opening of our
truly beautiful Opera-IIouse, the Art Drd-
mdtiqte has not had more complete justice
rendered it, than in KotZebue's interesting
and beautiful drama of "The Stranger" last
night. .,... .......-.--
Miss Heron rendered the part of Mrs.
Hdller, whose anguish and remorse rs the
repentant wife, are so truthfully and beau
tifully written by the author in admirable
style. She was splcndidly supported by
Mr.. +. A. Gossin, who, since the departure
of Mr.. Forrest has sustained nearly all the
principal characters, In the various dramas
which have been produced, TO the great de-
light and satisfaction of the community,
and with marked and distinguished ability
''The Stranger" is justly ranked among the
highest of the Legitimate dramas, and un-
Idoubtedly requires talent and ability of no
ordinary degree to delinCatc the character
in even tOlcrable manner-but talent and
ability of superior degree Is required, TO
produce it with so fine an effect as Mr.. Cos
sin did last night.
His delineation of "1he stranger" showed
teep study--not the slightest detail being
overlooked. Considering the circumstances,
that it was Mr.. G's. first attempt at the
character, and the difficult part it Is 10 sus-
tain, he was more in the character than
could reasonably have been expected. Mr.
C. demonstrated beyond doubt, that
he is young gentleman OF high order OF
talent, capable of deep thought and close
hard study. He was all that the author
could reasonably have intended or expected
"The Stranger" TO be.
Mr.. Gossin is a gentleman of very fine
presence, excellent voice, over which he
has the most perfect control, united to q
dignilicd and remarkably pleasing manner
I His rcnderings are quite ehaste and manly
In his delneations of the various charac-
tcrs, in which have had the pleasure tC
see him, he does no violence TO propriety oi
tile true Interpretation of the play.
/ on of the boards, Mr.. GOssin Is as equally
pleasing and agreeable by his gentlemanly
and exemplary demeanor. For this talented
young gentleman predict n brilliant ant
successful future In his profession, II he viii

guardian appointed over the estate Of Mary
Il. Broadstone, on the ground that she was
of unsound mind, aud that her husband was
squandering her estate. The Court after
having had the case under investigation
for several days, found that Mary r. Broad
stone is an IDIOT and in every way incapa-
bic of making contracts or exercising a
due degree of care over her property, and
that her husband, according to the testi-
mony, was guilty of such profligate use of
her estate, as to make II necessary for her
protection, as well as to protect her chill
drcn hereafter from want to appoint
guardian of her estate, and that under the
circumstances the Court would tender the
appointment of such guardianship to the
husband, requiring a bond in the sum of
six thousand dollars for the faithful per-

DREADFUL CALAMITY.-The Journal of
tllis morning announces, on the authority
of an engineer on the ID. 81 NJ. Railroad that
twenty-seven children were drowned in
the Reservoir at Celina. on Wednesday.
They were attending school, in the vicinity
of the Reservoir, and at noon all the schol-
ars but two-twenty-seven in number
went on the ice to slide, when it broke
with them, the whole party drowning before
help could reach them.
Although this information seems to be re-
liable, we may state that the editor of the
Cclina Democrat was in our Office yesterday,
having come directly from Celina, and as
he said nothing about the occurrence, there
is some ground to hope that the engineer
of the railroad was misinformed. We hope
this may turn out to be the case.

PORTLAND ENTERPRIsE.-Th merchants
and capitalists of Portland are making every
effort that money and influence can secure to
extend the business interests of that CITY.
They have been very liberal in expendine
money to purchase steamboats,, and making
arrangements to facilitate communication
with the Eastern towns.
We hope these inducements will lead our
merchants to try Portland markets when pur-
chasing goods.
We cannot see any cause why Portland
merchants cannot afford to sell all kinds of
merchandise at as reasonable terms as those
OF Boston or New York. The article of -four.
for instance-the Canada -four ought to be
bought cheaper in Portland than in Boston.
as there must necessarily be the expense of
re-shipping either by rail or vessel from Port
land to Boston, Again Portland ought to az
ford molasses and sugars on as favorable
terms as any other city in the country. The
direct communication between Europe and
Portland ought to give Portland merchants
the facilities OF putting foreign goods into the
market on as favorable terms as any other
city. In reference to New York and other
sources OF supply it ought to be as favorably
situated as Boston. If there is any difference
in the cost OF shipping such articles as corn
&C., from New York to Boston or to Portland.
that difference cannot be unfayorable to Port
land.
Rents, and other attendant expenses must
be cheaper in Portland than in Boston; and
certainly Portland must have ample capital to
buy and consequently to sell goods as reason
ably as any commercial city.
We trust our merchants will be induced to
try the Portland markets, now that thew have
made so liberal provisions to put themselves
