The proposed reduction ofTaxes.

The committee of ways and means
have kept at work on the tax bill ever
since it was reported compiete, ten days
ago, and the bill on which the House
commenced action on Monday is mate
rally changed from that originally re-
ported. The following additions have.
beenlmade to the free list, mostly artt-
cles of small importance, however,
Crude soda, illuminate Of soda, yeast
powders, cobalt, imanganeseS produe-
tions of electrotypers, paper stainers'
colors, horse rakes, favoring extracts
for family use, yarn used for braiding
purposes, paintings, statues and groups
of staluary produced by artists as
works of art, hoop skirt wire, railroad
iron, and deer skin dressed or smoked.
The most important article in this list
is railroad iron, on which there is now
a tax of S3 60 per ton, and which paid
changes fix the the duty on sugar not
above number twelve, Dutch standard,
at one cent pound; above number
twefe and not above number eighteen,
/ one and a half cents per pound; and
above number eighteen two cents a
pound. A change has also been made
| in the duty on smoking tobacco, and
there is now but one grade aud one
rate, viz; on smoking tobacco of all
kinds, Including that made of stems
/ or IN part of stems, and all limitations
| thereof, twenty cents per pound. "A new
/ clause jlevieS a tax of three per cent,
i ad valorem, on threshing machines.
Another new clause continues the pres
/ ent tax of one and two dollars, accord
1 ing TO value, on gold watches. The
4 tax on gross receipts of express COM
panies remains finally as in the exist
Il ing law, viz: three per cent. The
j clause with respect to savings banks,
as it now stands, exempts from tax SO
much Of their deposits as they have in
4 government securities, and all deposits
/ less than i've hundred dollars made in
i the nameo of any one person. The clause
Il leyyiDgi a tax on brokers' sales OF mer-
4 jcliandise, produce and other goods, Is
stricken out, and the tax upon their
sales of stocks bonds, coin, foreign ex-
change, &c. IS reduced TO one cent iof
every hundred dollars. Other changes
will De made from day to day, of course,
4 now the bin has got into the House,
\ and the present bill is quite likely very
different from the one that viii finally
] he perfected.
As the bin now stands, the Secretary
of the Treasury estimates that the bur
den of taxation has been taken OF to
the extent of about seventy or seventy
| i've millions of dollars. If the govern
the figures reached this year, stilI fur
ther reduction would have been war
rantabIe; but both the secretary and
the revenue commission anticipate a
very general falling of for the year to
come. ~ sissFsl9 i.lI -t

KEGS thought to starve us out when
they sent their ships to guard our sea-

make great many things; to do with
out others; and above all to trust in
the smiles of the God of battles. we
had few guns, little ammunition and
not much of anything but food. cotton
and tobacco ), but the people helped
themselves and God helped the people.
We were considered an indolent, weak
people, but our enemies have found us
strong, because we had justice on our
side. 15l.r

are contented and happy and many OF
