In the House of Representatives Mr.. Schenck,
from the Committee of Ways and Means, re-
ported a bill abolishing the tax on all cotton
grown in the United States after the year 1867.
AS most of the cotton grown during the pres
ent year had passed out of the hands OF the
producers into those ofbrokers and spectators,
the committee deem it inexpedient to make the
bill apply to the product of 1867. Mr.. Brooks
moved an amendment abolishine the tax from
the date OF the passage of the act. No action
was had. The report of the Committee on
Elections admitting Messrs. Beck, Jones, Gro.
yer and Knott, of the Kentucky delegation, to
their seats, was adopted. 1t isunderstood that
the investigation in the cases Of Messrs. Brown,
Trimble and Young has not been completed.
