The House Committee Of Ways and Means
has reported to the House a new bill in place
OF that drafted by the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, which they have had for some weeks an
der consideration. 1t is understood that the
present favorable aspect of the receipts Of the
Government has induced the Committee to
believe that it will not be necessary to create
new loan, and they have consequently
simply reported bill somewhat enlargIng the
powers already granted by legislation of the last
Congress. This, in the opinion Of those who
should be competent to Judge, will meet oil the

The Loss of the steamer Missouri.

LOUISVILLE, Feb. 1.-The steamer Missouri
left New Orleans last week with light freight
and full passengers, most OF whom were land
ed at Cairo. On arriving at Eastville she re-
ceiyed about dozen Passengers, all OF whom
are reported lost 70 J
MED.
The officers OF the Dictator brought Off one
hundred and twenty people from the wreck.
1t is thought by the officers OF the Missouri
that the total list of casualties will not exceed
seventy, and probably will be less than sixty.
Among the saved there is a passenger from
Lowell, Mass, connected with the Freedmen 5
Bureau, and his family, Captain Stewart and
Engineers Schroeder and Cox, of New Albany.
The cabin register being lost the names OF the
passengers could not be ascertained.

HoUsR.-Mr. Morrill,, from the Committee of
Ways and Means, reported a bill to amend the
act approved March 3, 1865, providing WAYS
and means for the support of the Governments;
which was made the special order for Thurs
day next.
Mr. Stevens said the Treasury commission
recommend reduction of the duty on whisky
to one dollar gallon. He wanted to know
whether this met the appreciation Of the COM
mittee. 1t this should be adopted, it would cut
of good many millions Of revenue.
Mr. Morrill, replied the Committee Of WAYS
and Means had not yet taken up the report of
the commission. II they should come to that
conclusion, it would be with very great reluc-
lance.
Mr. Trowhridge, from the Committee on Az.
riculture, reported back a resolution to tax the
railroads Of the country, in order to relieve
commerce from present burdens. The resolu.
ton was referred to the Committee Of Ways
and Means.
The House resumed the consideration of the
bill providing that no ship or vessel which

or otherwise under a foreign flag, and had the
protection Of any foreign government during
the existence Of the rebellion, shall be deemed

FREEDnEN,s AFFAIRS

The reports of Assistant Commissioners of
the Freedmen's Bureau. lately received by Gen.
Howard, are more encouraging than ever
They state thatthe freedmen are becoming more
reconciled to making contracts with their
former masters, aud are disposed 10 execute
them IN good faith when made.
There are yet some fe w instances occurring
where planters seem inclined to exercise the
same control over the negroes that they did
during the existence Of slavery; but in all such
cases the planter finds himself the loser in the
end, as bis hands are almost sure to leave him.
Tor employment with those who are willing to
treat them as free men, These disagreements
between farmers and their employees furnish
sioners or their agents for adjustment and as a
general thing are settled satisfactorily, by the
planter giving promises of amendment, and the
freedmen returning to fulfil their contracts.

INrERNAL REyENUE DECISION

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
decided in a certain case arising in Colorado
Territorty, that the term Real Estate, CO utained
in section 1876 Of the Act Of 1864, amended by the
act Of March 30, 1865, to provide internal reve-
nue., &c, shall not be construed to include only
the things that are included as such In the
td,cs of the several Sc es. bat such things as are
included in the term - co-tmon laD. This is to
insure uniformity OF taxation throughout the
country upon income derived from the sales
Of such property, which, differing in charac-
ter according to the laws OF many Of the States,
would make the taxation on such income un-
equal over the country, If the State law mean
ing of the term was to control in the matter of
taxation
