of dollars. Iron and steel, notwithstand-
ing reduction this year, yields conside-
rably more than million and quarter
beyond the total receipts from those ar
ticles last year. Petroleum and coal oil
increase two millions and a quarter. The
increase upon cigars is not quite four hun
drcd thousand dollars. Chewing and
smoking tobacco increase three millions
and three-quarters. Fcrmcntcd liquors
increase million and a half, and distilled
spirits thirteen millions, notwithstanding
the widespread evasions Of the law.
In regard to the estimated receipts for
the fiscal year, ii must be remembered
that much of the increase reported for
1866 was under the late law, and there will
be material reductions. Taking full
view of the subject, the commissioner es-
Inmates that if there is no change in the
law as it at present stands, the receipts for
lSG1 will be two hundred and eighty five
millions Of dollars.
Mr.. Rollins makes some suggestions as
10 amendments of the law. One is that
the returns upon incomes and carriages,
gold watches, SC, mentioned in schedule
\, shall bc made earlier than the present
time, which is the first Monday in May in
each year. lie recommends that butchers,
plumbers, and gas-tittcrs shall he assessed
on their sales the same as dealers. lie
also recommends that the exemptions Of
incomes liable TO tax shall be increased
from $500 TO 81 900, with q like exemption

mcnt who pay tax on salaries.

The Debate upon the COnfiscatiOn
Question.

In the United States Senate on Tues
day,
Mr.. Chandler asked to take up the bill
from the IIoasc repeating the section Of the
bin to suppress instruction, giving the
pardoning power to the President.
Mr.. Sherman called for the reading of
the bill.
Mr.. Johnson did not know whether, if
the section referred to was repealed, the
President would still have power to grant
a general amnesty. The President would
still have the power TO grant pardons after
its passage. The best plan was to let it
rest until it could be referred to the Judi
ciary Committee.
Mr.. Fcsscndcn had no opinion to express
on the merits of the bill at present, but
considered it would be setting an unwiSe
precedent to act on q bill previous to its
reference to committee.
Mr.. Howard understood that there was
urgent necessity for the speedy passage of
this act by Congress. He believed that
proceedings had been taken in regard TO
restoring property to rebels which he did
not think the country would be satisfied
with when they came to know the facts.
/ The bill was designed to put an end to the
restoration Of property by the President to
the rebels, and he hoped it would be acted
OH at once.
Mr.. Chandler said it is asserted that hum
drcds Of millions OF rebel property had
/ been restored, and il is said that parGons
were sold for money about this town by
men OF doubtful reputation, and with these
pardonS property had been restored.
! Mr.. Trumbull, thought the pardoning
power had been very grossly abused, but
did not think, from the last report of the
commissioner Of the frecdmen's Bureau,
that there had been so much property re-
stored. He should probably vote for this
! BILL but did not sec any necessity for its
! immediate passage.
The question on the motion to take up
was then put. and decided in the negative
by a tic vote, aS follows:
Yca>.-McSsrs. CAttell, Chandler, Con-
ness, Creswcll, EdmundS, Fowler, Freling-
, huyscn, Harris, Henderson, Howard,
Howe, Lane, Pomcroy, Ramsey, Ross,

! Wrinkle, and Willcy-2l.
The Senate then adjourned.
Mr.. Sumner then moved to lay the mo-
ton to take up on the table, which was
agreed to.

THE Bopy OF THE MISSING MASON FouN

THE BoDY OF THE MISSING Mason FOUND
IN BALTIMoRE.-The mysterious disap-
pcarancc of Mr.. James Welsh has already
been noticed. Mr.. Welsh was a clerk in
the Adiutant Generals Office in Washing
ton, and came on to this city with Colum.
bia Commandery of Knights Templar, ant
participated in the ceremonies attending
the laying of the cornerstone of the new
Temple on the goth ultimo. He has been
missing since the evening of that day. For
the past two days his Masonic brethren Of
this city have had men employed in dredg-
ing Jones's falls and the different docks,
and yesterday afternoon the body was found
at the lower end of Smiths dock, and
brought to the surface by the graphing
irons. 1t had been stripped Of all clothing
except an undershirt and cravat.
When Mr.. Welsh disappeared he had in
his possession a valuable gold watch, a Ma
sonic breastpin, some forty dollars in
money, and other valuables, all of which
are of course gone and although a jury
summoned by Coroner Sparklin rendered
verdict of "accidental drowning" the
opinion was pretty generally entertained
last night that the unfortunate young man
had been foully dealt with. The body was
taken to the central police station, and DR..
Ycatcs examined it, but from the length OF
time it had been in the water he could de-
tect no violence on it. The finding of the
body under the circumstances has caused
much feeling on the subject, particularly
among the members Of the Masonic Order,
who appear determined to leave no means
unturned to sift the matter to the very
bottom. The body of Mr.. Welsh will be
taken to Washington for intcrment.-Ba!-
