Letter from sserstaEz MeeulIoeh.


Secretary MeCulloeh has written the fol
lowing letter to the Senate Finance Com
mittee in regard to the bill repeating the
taxes on manufactures:
TREASURY Dept. March IG, 1868
DEAR SIR-The abolition of the duty on
cotton will reduce the revenues some 500
OO0,000 The bill which has recentlv passed
the House, and is now before the Senate,
abolishing after the lst of Nav next the
taxes on manufactures and productions i'm
posed by sections 94 and 95. act of June 30
1864, and enumerated in Table II, in the re-
port OF the Commissioner Of Internal Reve-
nue., 1867, pages 335, 336 and 337, with GER
tain exceptions, will, 1t has been estimated,
effect reduction of some $50 600 COO on
the basis Of last years revenues. Itmust
also be borne IN mind that this large reduc-
ton of the revenues from the internal in
dustries OF the country will have the effect
of reducing the general level OF prices
throughout the country, and thus. tend to
interrupt and to lessen importations, and
therefore to diminish the customs revenues.
considerable portion Of the large reve-
nue. from customs received during the two
last fiscal years, and which are still ma n
tanned, are due IN no uncomfortable extent
to the fact that the high prices IN th IS coun-
try have made our market desirable one
for the sale of foreign productinns So great
a reduction Of prices as will be effected by
the contemplated legislation cannot. ] repeat,
bat have a tendency to reduce inportations,
and consequently to ialpair the revenue
from customs.
Should the bill referred to become law,
l think it may be fairly estimated that tie
total revenues for the next fiscal year Will
fall from a hundred to a hundred and twenty
millions below the estimates made in nv
last annual report. 1t exceedingly desi-
rable that taxes should be reduced, and |
should hail with pleasure the proposed re-
ductiOn- if ] felt assured thatit would be
accompanied with a corresponding reduction
of expenditures. / am free TO say that am
greatly apprehensive that such reduction
of expenditures viii not be made, and that
tue revenues of the country for the next
fiscal year, if the bill now before the Senate
or IN the bands OF your committee should
Become law, viii be insufficient to meet
the interest on the public debt and the ex-
penses of the Government
| earnestly ask that the Finance Commit
tee will give this subject careful considera-
ton in all Its bearings before reporting
favorably upon the bin referred to Nothing
eould be more disastreast to the credit of the
Government at the present time than such
reduction Of taxes as would create neces-
sity for an increase of the customs.
Very truly, yours,
a. McCULLooH,
Secretary of the Treasury.
P.zS-WiH not the effect of the bin under
consideration be to relieve cotton from taxa
ton?

The Latest Freak Of Female Fashion


Has not yet made j 8 appearances in our
streets, but we presume we shall not have
to wait for it very long 1t IS the revival of
the Old-fashiOned hoops, or, as tile French
call them, pannieTs or baskets which were
first in vogue in France a hundred and
thirty years ago, and were afterward a
favorite article of dress with the beautiful
Marie Antoinette and her ladies Just before
the revolution Of l779. They consist simply
Of a circular frame work Of wh6lebone, or
other suitable material, fastened around the
person beneath the waist and above the hips,
extending equally in every direction, and
prod an extraordinary enlargement and
rotundity Of the figure. When the fashion
was at its extreme, the rule was that the
diameter Of the paHnier should be equal to
the height Of the wearer; but this extrava-
gance was adopted only by the more ultra
an dashing among the ladies of the time.
The introduction Of this mode at the pres
ent day Is the work of the Empress Eugenia,
who seems to exercise more despotic sway
over the women of the civilized world than
her stern and unscrupulous husband has
ever been able to wieid over the French ma
ton As vet she has been followed in this
last innovation only by the ladies of Paris;
bnt the rest 0 woman kind are sure 10
initiate their example According to state
ment in the correspondence of that trust
worthy authority concerning fashion, the
Journal of Commerce, the whole fashionable
world Of that city has been quick to put on
panniers, although to many they are any
thing but becoming. Not only the young
aud sylph hike, says the writer, I" bat the
middleaged and stout sport panniers-the
latter rendering themselves absolutely ridic-
ulous in costume which requires to be worn
with all the grace and ease for which Her
! Majesty is so distinguished, to render it pre-
sentable This reminds us Of the intro
llauction of crinoline by the same imperial
jictatrix- At first that novelty made all
women appear very strange, and some su-
| premely ugly; but by degrees they became
used to it, and now there are those who think
| the fashion beautiful; and SD, we dare say,
! it will be with the panniers. We live and
| learn.-N T. Sun

TO ADMINISTRATIONS.


The law of Tennessee requires Admins
traitors to publish insolyeut notices in
newspaper A written notice carries out
neither the spirit OF letter Of law, but it does
no injustice to all interested parties an1 lays
the Administrator liable for damages TO all
who are losers by his non-conformity with
the law. We quote from the code of Ten
nessee, section 2, $50:
The Clerk (of the tOunty Court) x
shall make an order upon the executor or
administrator, TO give notice by ADVERTISE
ment in some newspaper published within
the State, and also at the court house door of
the county, for all persons having claims
against said estate to appear and file the
same, authenticated in the manner pre-
scribed By law, on or against day to be
fixed in such notice, which shall not be less
than three nor more than six months after
the date of notice and any claim not fled
on or before the day fixed, or before an ap-
propriation of the funds of the State is
made shall be forever barred both IN law
and equity.

Women Students in Russia.

The Pail Mall Gazette says:-"It has been
stated Of late that university for women Is
about to be founded in Russia. Such is not
exactly the case, but it is true that public
classes for female students will probably be
organized there before long. During several
years the lectures delivered by the professors
of the University of st. Petersburg were open
to the public; and this privilege was so appre-
ciated, that during the course Of 1859 and
1860 between two and three thousand persons
regularly attended them, and among these
were great number of women. But the year
1861 brought with 1t those student disturbances
which resulted in the closing of the University;
and when it was reopened new regulations
had been made, by which women were ex-
oluded from its classes. The only subject
which they could now study in public was that
of medicine, for the medical faculty in st.
Petersburg forms a separate academy, inde-
pendent OF the University. A number, how
ever, of the female medical students went
abroad, especially to Switzerland; as, for in
stance, Mad'lle Suslof, who recently obtained
dectors diploma from the University Of
Zurich, and who has subsequently received
permission to practise at st. Petersburg with
the privileges accorded there to foreign medi-
cal practitioners.
"Duripg the present year an important
agitation has taken place among the women of
st. Petersburg in favor of public instruction.
petition bearing four hundred female sigma
lures has been presented to the Minister of
Public Instruction. praying that classes might
be opened for women in the University, and
that the Minister has refused to grant their
prayer, considering their tendencies to be
'nihilistc. But in reality no such petition
has been laid before him, the Russian Govern
ment not iavoring such demonstrations. What
really has occurred is this: more than even
four hundred women have sent letters first to
the council of professors, and then to the rec
tor of the University of st. Petersburg, beg
ging for permission to attend the lectures on
Ihilology and natural science, and Offering to
pay for the privilege. The council replied
that 1t fully sympathzed with their wish,
but that the public classes were closed against
them by law AS regarded the opening of the
new classes, however, the professors would be
perfectly willing to give lectures to them, if
only the intending students could obtain the
necessary permission from the Minister of
Public Instruction, and fitting accommodation
could be provided for them. There the matter
rests at present, but it is understood that
measures are being taken to obtain the requi-
site permission, and it is expected that, if the
GLASSES are opened, they will be attended by a
very large number of female students"
