THE TAX BILL.-Impeachment having been
disposed of, the work of legislation is now 60
ing on with considerable briskness at Wash
ington. The most important measure before
the House is the tax bill reported from the
Ways and Means Committee by its chairman
Gen. Schenck. Thursday the hrst sectloh
which is very important was the SUBJECT Oh an
animated discussion. That section makes the
Revenue Commissioner entirely independent
of any other branch of the government and
he is authorized to appoint or remove his sub
ordinates at pleasure. Mr.. Blaine opposes
this feature of the bill on the ground that The
President will remove OR suspend Mr.. Rollins,
the present Commissioner, as soon as Con-
gress adiourns and puts a tool of his own IN
the place. His motion to strike out this sec
ton was approved by Mr.. Garfield and other
Republicans, but was finally defeated by
vote of 80 to 49,

If they had been wise, the dire necessity of
opening the grave for one so lovely might have
been averted. Plantation Bitters, if timely
used, are sure to rescue the young and lovely,
the middle-aged, and the ailing, from con-
firmed sickness.
Almost all diseases have their beginning in
some slight difficulty of the stomach, which
would eventuate in dyspepsia, headache liver
complaints, night sweats, consumption, death.
Plantation Bitters will prevent these premon-
tory symptoms, and keep the blood pure and
the health good.
While they invigorate the system they en-
liven the mind.

WHERE is BINcKLEY?-The Senate having
rejected the nomination of Mr.. Stanbery and
that gentleman having incontinently returned
to "his home in thu setting sum-" why does
the President allow the Attorney Generalship
to remain in the hands of the servile Brown
ing? Is Buckley SO soon forgotten, them
Never did meteor flash from the midnight sky
more brightly than, in the absence OF his
Chief, Binckley flashed upon the legal mind
of his countrymen. Acts of Congress, framed
by flippant Representatives and the old hum
drum lawyers of the Senate, were driven
through and through by this adolescent attor-
ney. His experience as claim agent, news
paper writer and literary bohemian had well
fitted him for such grave duties. IT'S said, too
that he once unbended his giant intellect for
the space of two or three months in the study
OF Blackstone, Coke and Kent, but this may
be a myth. At any rate Buckley is eligible
to the position and if contumacious Senate
refuses to confirm his nomination for perma-
nent position as the legal adviser of the gov
eminent, let him at least supply Stanberys
place temporarily, and be young dd interim

valley Railroad Mee,,uy.

On Wednesday night last meeting was
held in the Court House to discuss the ques-
ton of the subscription by the town of Stau.-
ton of 800 900 to the stock of the Valley
Railroad.
AS we were unable to be present we take
the following proceedings of the meeting from
sour neighbor of the Spectator:
On motion of Col B. Christian, Mayor N.
K Trout was called to the chair, and Jno.
B. Evans, ESQ.,, appointed Secretary.
The meeting was then addressed by Col.
NJ. G. Hartman. the President of the Valley.
R. R. Company. He earnestly urged the
1propriety of the subscription. and gave the
assurance that the road would be put under
contract within few months after the sum
of 81 5000 should be subscribed by the
counties and towns along the line of the pro-
posed road, and expressed the belief that that
amount would be subscribed.
Judge Fl. W. Shelley followed Col. Har-
man with speech characterized by sound,
practical views. he said that there would
be, in short time, tendency to inamigra-
sien into the South, and particularly into this
fertile Valley.
There are times, said he. when people
were called upon to decide, and that promptly
whether they would be great and successful,
Or stand back and be beggars. The present
is such a time with the people of Staunton.
This is not the time to be alarmed at taxes.
Years ago, the old fogies of Staunten were
startled when it was proposed to establish
the water works They feared the taxes
could not be paid, and that the town would
be rendered bankrupt. Now Stauato9 has
eight miles of water pipe, and it has increas-

Mn. EDITOR Several of your correspondents,
very old and respectable no doubt, seem to be
wonderfully exercised as to the origin of our
Plantation Btters. So long as these bitters are
all that we represent the to be, we do not know
that it m likes any differ ence from whom they
come, or from whence they originated: but for
the information of the public generally, and old
Capt. Wentz in particular, we will say that he
told the TRUTH and that these Bitters originated in
the West India Islands-that many of the ingre-
dients have been favorably used for over centu-
ry, but our combination of Casaya is entirely
new, and our own The rum and other materi-
ais are the same, and as your correspondent says,
q better Bitters and Tonic is not made. We rec
o'mmend them partcularly for dyspeptics, fever
AM, ~ lie, debility loss of appetite and in all ca
ses w !. ere tonic and stimulant is required.
