INTERNAL REVENUE MATTERS,
"A Washington dispatch states
That Commissioner Rollins was in
conference with the Ways and
Means Committee on Wednesday in
regard to the Internal Revenue Tax
bill. The Committee have thus far
passed upon but few articles which
1t is proposed to put into the free
list. The Commissioner informed
them that there was great falling
Oh OF the reNcnuc receipts within
the last sixty days, and, from pres.
cnt ludlcati0nS, 1t was likely to di.
mlmSh still more during the next
SIX or nlnc months, on account of
TIE general stagnation Of business.
The Committee have therefore de.
clded not to pass upon any articles
until they get the tariff bill, and then
1t Is likely bat little if any rcduc.
ton will be made on the leading ar.
tlclcS. The subcommittee are still
engaged examining into the wills
key tax. 1t will be some DAYS be.
fore they will be ready to report.
Commissioner Rollins is opposed to
making reductions at present in the
tax. He iaVors stringent legisla.
ton, believing it will put Il stop to
frauds. The Committee, however.
ale very much divided on the oues.
ton, and it is doubtful what they
Will recommend.

Presidential Revelations.

The following statements are made.
by the Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette, usually
well informed and reliable, but
whose correctness in this matter re.
mains to he verified by the report of
the Judiciary Committee:
Its beginning to appear in a
very clear light that Mr.. Johnsom's
detection began far back of the pub
lie announcement Of what is termed
his policy, and that this was but the
development Of plot which was
conceived at very early day. The
arrangement of the evidence which
IS to be placed before the Judiciary
Committee will establish this. OF
course 1t is not claimed that it is
high crime or miSdemeanor within
the meaning of the Constitution,
but it viii prove very interesting
chapter III the political history of
the country, quite as interesting as
that concerning Aaron Burr or JET
ferSOn Davis.
There are many facts lately
brought to light to show that the,
first definite idea which Mr.. John
son expressed after his election was
that of an organization OF the Dem
ocratic party. As single instance
of these is the following:
When he passed through Cincin.
natl on his way to Washington tc,

separate conversations with two gen.
tlcmen, very web known in that
city. and men who stand as high
as any in it, he said, first to
one with marked emphasis IL
am an old Democrat, and so are you,
and if this country is ever saved it
has got to be saved through a reor.
ganilation of the Democratic party"
This in substance and almost exact
words he repeated atterWard to the
other gentleman.
shortly after the assassination as
/ has been.heretotorc stated in this
correspondence, he made direct pro
/ posals to certain Republicans to I'M
deYtakc the reorganization of the
! Democratic party, and i'll doing so
" slough off the anti-slavery ele
mcnt, as ne expressed. The spirit
which animated him about this time
is well set forth 10y the following,
which may be relied upon
y few weeks before the assassina-
! tion he said to a man vino was then
/ his friend, If | am ever a Presi,
dent Of the United States, this
/ Yankee influence will be crushed"
y few weeks, after the assassination
the same man met him, and the first
remark of Mr.. Johnson was. DO
YOU remember what | told you when
saw You last, Well, now | am
President, and this - Yankee in.
tiucnce shall be crushed out in this
Government"
Before Mr. Lincoln was hardly
cold in his grave. Mr.. johnson had
been a party to the publication of
an editorial in bitter Democratic
journal here, taking the distinct
ground that he had always acted
with the Democratic party, and was
now It's "champion and triumphant
standard bearer OF course the
parentage OF that editorial has been
/ denied, but the fact that Mr.. John.
son is responsible for it remains I'M
changed, unless the evidence of

| ration be considered worthless.

The Holy Sabhath.

The Sabbath is a religious institution, and not,
strictly speaking, the name of any particular day
Of the week Sunday is is the day which Chris
tiaus observe as the Sabbath, and hence many re-
gard Sunday and Sabbath synonymous. But this
+ a mistake Saturday is The Sabbath Of the Jews.
The English word Sabbath comes from the Hebrew
noun S6abbath, which literally means "a day Of
rest Biblical scholars and critics Trace this noun
back TO the verb which signifies "to cease "a do, or
80 rest In the Jewish economy, the observance
OF The seventh day OF the week Sabbath was
not only enioned in a general way in tho Mosaic
code. but specifically required By the fourth COM
mandment OF the dccalogue. The first Scripturai
notice Of a weekly SABBATH is in Gen. 3, where It
is stated And God blessed the seventh day and
sanctiicd IL because hat in il he had rested from
al bis works, which God creased aud made. r
Hence we have clear Scripturai aSsssSg for stat
ing that the institution Is as old as mausird. II
was enforced upon tho Israelites by the law OF
Moses, they being Gods chosen people
