PREACHERS AND PoLITIcs.--The Rich
mond Republic has the following sensible
paragraph: &C.,. -. -. = 8
4 The religious teachers of the country ought
never, at any time, to have meddl,d with
politics. j. 1t is a subject that not only does
not belong to their vocation, but is diametrir
cally opposed to it. War itself is scarcely
more foreign to the sentiments of christianity,
or to the performance of it's duties. It is. a
subject, moreover, of which the clergy, as a.
general rule, know absolutely nothing. Their
studies have been of an entirely different
kind. If they have ever fc .und time to make
themselves such masters Of politics, as to be
able to teach them from the pulpit, they
must have neglected proper attention to their
own profession, and ought to abandon the
pulpit for a more corgenial arena. The
apostles and primitive preachers of christi :
anity had nothing to do with politics, except
to enjoia subjects to be obedicnt to Eheir
government, from a principle of religious
duty They endea vored to make men live in
peace with each Other. for peace is the,essence'
of the gospel which they were commissioned
to proclaim, and unity the sign whereby TIE
great sfeunder of christianity declared thit
fhe world should know that He had se|ts
them.

lrhe NatiunaI Reysnue svstem.-

A commission, consisting of David Al
Welles, of New York, Stephen Colwell, Of
Philadelphia, and s. s. Hayes, of Illinois
with E. B. Elliott, of Massachusetts,, as Sec1
rotary, was appointed by the Secretary of the
Treasury, under act of last Congress, to re-
wise and simplify the machinery for collect
ing National taxes, and entered upon its du-
ties in June last Their report on this snb-
ject has been laid before Congress. We learn
from the Washington Chronicle the following
interesting items. cat re ii9EA'iiss95 p
In preparing the system now recommended
to Congress, this Commission seems to have
kept steadily in view the interests of the
working masses of the people, those whose
incomes are such as to make them feel the
burden of taxation more grievously than the
capitalist, the merchant, and the manufac-
turer., This will obviate one of the great de-
fects of the present system, while at the same
time increase the volume of the revenue.
The secret of successful taxation is to raise
the most money with the least possil
convenience to the people, and the Commits
sion has proceeded upon this principle
throughout. Among the changes they pro-
pose are an increase of the tax on raw cotton
from two to five cents per pound, the tax'to
be collected not on the plantation, but from
the manufacturer and from the exporting
merchants at the port of shipment; an ex-
emption of all incomes under one thousand
dollars from the present income tax; a re-
peal of all taxes now levied upon wearing
apparel, books, magazines, pamphlets, re-
pairs of engines, cars, carriages, ships, watch
es, pianos, etc; reduction of the tax now
levied on brokers sales of stocks from SIS per
$1,000, to 81 per $1,000; repeal of the
taxes now levied on igiron, ($2 40per ton,)
coal, (six centsper ton,) and crude petroleum,
Isl per gallon } reduction by one half on
the duties now levied upon home manufac-
, lures generally reduction of taxes on dis
titled liquors from SO to 81 per gallon.
! The general effect of all the changes pro-
( posed will be areduction of about one-fourth
!. of the present burden Of internal taxes
/ With these reductions the Commission is Of
opinion that our internal revenue will yet
amount to $2S7, 900, 900 per annum; our du-
ties on imports to S13O,0OO,0OO, making a
/ total revenue of $367,OOO,oOO. If this can
/; be realized, land we know of no good reason
why it should not,) we will have about $780,
100000, after paying the current expense Of
:. the Government and the interest on our ma
tional debt, to apply annually to the reduc-
ton of the principal of the debt. The sue
cess of this calculation would result in the
/ utter extinguishment of the entire debt in
less than thirty years; and with less oppres-
sive, and consequently more popular mode
of taxation, they propose raising nearly twice
as much revenue as was obtained by the pre-
sent system in 1854 80
The entire report is highly encouraging
and satisfactory, and contains many points
of interest which we shall have occasion to
allude to more fully hereafter.

A Rich LADy-THIRTEEN Tons OF
GoLD-One of the richest ladies in the world, il
perhaps. is Miss Burtlett Coutts, of London,
England, who became the hefress of Mrs.
Contts. who had been Miss Mellon the ac-
tress. Her fortune has been computed at
thirteen tons of gold. This money has been
handed down from heir to heir many times, .
and is constantly increasing in amount. The
lady who inherited this vast amount previous
to Miss Mellon, the actress, became no less 9
parsonage than the Duchess of st. Adams
The Duke Of St. Adams being a spoor
Duke" made an offer for the hand of the
wealthy but titleless heiress, and.was accept
ed. The Duke imagined he would become
possessed of the immense wealth, instead 0f
which, ut the death of the Duchess 3 he
found she had left him a few thousand
pounds, and that the vast amount, which
she held in her own right, was destined to
return to her family again. The Duchess of
st. Adams was spoken of as the !. rival Of
the Queen" and her appearance at Court
was source of great annoyance to the lat
ter-the Duchess p" being considered q
"commoner" Miss Burdett Coutts, the pre-
sent possessor of the immense fortune, Is q
lady well known for her acts Of generosity.
1t employs several active secretaries to read
her begging letters, and the labor of prop
erly attending to their requests is enough to
overtask the strongest constitution. She
gives all the money she has time to give,
money for drinking fountains, churches at
Nootka Sound, to found bishoprics at Van
Diemans Land and Jefusalem,s and for L

On Saturday last the House was engaged
in the discussion of the Senate bill, to enlarge
the powers of the Freedmen's Bureau
Mr.. Marshall of Ill, opposed the bill. re-
garding it as contrary to the intent of the
Constitution. There was no warrant for Con-
gress becoming the common almoner, and
taking unknown millions from the pockets
of the toiling millions and distributing the
money among those who have recently
become free. He regarded this House as a
revolutionary tribunal, and a Jacobin assem-
bly,, to register the edicts of dictatorship.
Mr.. Hubbard, of Conn, supported the bill,
showing that the subject would always be
subject to the control of Congress, and that
the establishment of the bureau was necessa-
ry. He contended it was constitutional

that men who never shouldered a musket,

forded Southern tire-eaters the means Of To-
