STATE ITEMS.


ROBBERY AND MURDEI.-We learn
from the Delaware Gazette, that some
weeks ago, young man named Web
ster, whose home was somewhere in
the northern part of this State, was put
off the cars at Worthington because he
had no money to pay his fare. He
started north OH the railroad track
afoot, and was accompanied or follow
ed by an Irishman named Mccormick.
Soon after arriving within the limits of
this county, Webster was struck on the
back part of the head with stone,
knocked down and robbed of few
cents in money and his carpet sack,
containing his clothes, ETC. Soon after,
Mccormick was arrested, not far from
where the assault and robbery occur
red, and the property found in his pos
session. He was committed to jail,
where he now remains awaiting trial.
Webster remained at house i'm the
neighborhood of the occurrence, in a
very precarious condition, till a few
days since, when his friends undertook
to take him home, but he was unable
to stand the journey and died on the
way.

A REVENUE SYSTEM.

The last Congress authorized Com
mission to investigate and scrutinize
the whole subject of Taxation, with a
view to the simplification of our Reye-
nue. system, SO as to render our. taxes
less multifarious and burdcnsom.-
That Commission has made it's first re-
port The changes they purpose are
numerous, important, and, we believe,
in the main, judicious. Among them
are the following 4Earsao.
/. An exemption of all incomes be-
low s 1000 from the Income Tax.
3. A reduction of the tax on Dis
titled Liquors from 50 to 81 per gallon.
3, A remission of all taxes now
levied on Wearing Apparel.
A. A repeal of the taxes now levied
on Pig Iron (S2.40 per ton, Coal (six
cents per ton, crude Petroleum ($1
per gallon).
5. A repeal of all taxes now 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 Manufac-
lures generally.
Z. A repeal of all taxes now lev
led on repairs of engines, cars, car
riages, ships, DC.
s. A repeal of all taxes embodied
in schedule A of the Internal Revenue
Act of last session, except those on
Billiard Tables.
8. A reduction of the tax now lev
led on brokers' sales of Stocks from
So per $1,000 to 81 per 1000.
10. An increase of the tax on raw
cotton from two to five cents per
pound.
These notifications are proposed
to take effect on the 1st day of July
next, or at the commencement of the
fiscal year; and their general effect
will be reduction of our present bur
den of Internal Taxes by about one
fourth. Yet, even with these meliora-
tions, they calculate that our Internal
Revenue will amount, for the year en-
suing, to no less than S237 ,OOO, 900,
and our duties on Imports to $780,
100000, making an aggregate revenue
of 1857 100000. If, then, the cost OF
supporting our Government shall be
$10O,0O0,0OO, (and it certainly ought
not to be more, and the Interest on
our Public Debt should reach $167,-
100000, (which it will not, there
would be left s1OO,OOO,OOO to apply tc
the reduction of the principal Of oul
National Debt, at which rate it would
be utterly extinguished within from
twenty to twenty live years.
