Our Revenue System.

The last Congress authorized Commission to
investigate and scru in ze the whole subject of tax
alton, with view 10 the simp pli6cation Of our rev
enue system, to render taxes less multi
farious and less burdensome. That Commission
has made its first report, whereof a synopsis ap-
pears in our columns this morning. The changes
they propose numerous, important, and, We
believe in the main, judicious. Among them are
the following:
l. An exemption of all incomes below $1,000
from the Income Tax.
2 reduction of the tax on Distilled Liquors
from 81 to S per gallon.
B. "A remi-si of ali taxes now levied on Wear
ing Apparel.
4. repeal of the taxes now levied on Pig
Iron (S24 per ton) Coal six cents per ton,) and
crude Petroleum Isl per gailon.)
D. repeal Of all taxes nov levied on Books
Magazines and Pamphlets; leaving the present
taxes on Paper, Leather, &c, Untouched.
6. A reduction by one-half of the duties now
levied on Home Manufactures generally.
Z. A repeal Of all taxes now levied repairs
OF engines cars, carriages, ships, &c.
s. 4 repeal of all taxes embodied in SCHEDULE
A of the Internal Revenue Act of last session,
except those n Billiard Tables.
g. reduction of the tax now levied on bro
kers sales of Stocks from 81 per 5 900 to 81
per :; 900.

he stalls the pequet, with arms. shoulders
and head all covered. 4 lady nom knew had
rather unpleasant experience in attempt
some years ago TO disregard this tscit understand

hotels. She belonged TO ultra-fashionable set,
and having married South Carolina planter, soon
adopted what We call {" "planta;ion manners, and
affected no little scorn OF slmpemanne-ed reserved
New England folk. She was at Newport, our
great seaside watering place, and having Just re-
turned from Europe, took great airs upon herself
One evening at the tea table gentleman sat down
near her, and the butter plate before him happen

one to be brought. used his own perfectly fresh
brisht knife to take bit OF butter. He was
man of culture and social standing, but Yankee,

waiter, said in elaborstely subbued but decided
tone Take away that butter. That gentleman
has had his knife in it, He took notice of the
remark, waich drew all eyes upon him and upon

:. DEATH OF REV. DR.. NoTr-The serious illness
which for some time has prostrated the Rev DR.
Mott, has at last terminated, was expected, IN
his death, which the telegraph informs took
plice on Monday.
Eliphalet Mott had reached the advanced age of
ninety-three years, having been born in Ashford,
Windham County, Conf ecticut, in June, 1773.
He never received collegiate training, but when
quite young studied divinity, and when TWEEN ty-
one years old acting as missionary in the
central part of New York. Toe Presbyterian
congregation of Cherry Valley gave him call,
and alter officiat ng in that place two three
years. he was called to a Presbyterian church 10
in Albany, where he soon became a noted end
popular preacher. In 1904 be chosen Pres-
dent of Union College, Schenectady, and held
that office till the time of his death. Sixty
years of his life have been identified with that in
stitution, which, under his care, has risen from
poverty to wealth and importance. During tins
time nearly four thousand students have gradu-
ated at Union College, aud as late 1854 about
seven hundred of them visited the venerable DR.
1t is odd enough that DIR. Mott, whose name Is
so associated with colleges and literature, should
also have been one of the founders OF most
6aurishing mechanical enterprise-the Novelty
Works of New York. He was invent tr Of new
stove which was called the Novelty" for the
manufacture of which shop was built This IS
abishment gradually expanding It's scope, was
the nucius of the Novelty Works DIR. Mott mas
obtained no less than thirty patents for various
mechanical improvements and inventions. Tie
was also an active promoter of the temperance
cause, and has written works thereon.
Perhap. no other instance can be sd6uced OF
any college president, or indeed any official, hold
ing office for the long period of sixty years
During this time Abraham Lincoln was born 9.
made history, and died
