the 18th inst. tho Senate Of the United

days ever witnessed in Washington. W Z.
Bets are freely offered on both sides, by
men who hope to make money at the ex.

DEATH WoN'r SAVE YoU.-It las beer
decided that dying won't save man oor wo
man from the payment Of taxes. Assessors
are instructed that "inconos Of personswhc
died after the 3lst of December, are taxable
and should be returned by executors, sht
also incomes which accrued In 1S67;toper
sons who died within that year. incomes
accruing after decease should bo7 returned
by hcirs. Thus it is seen that tire ihsatist,
tax-gatherer follows man in his coffin, sit
ut the portals of the tomb, plants himself
by the .sidc of the grayed digger, as he drop
the clvds upon the mortal remains, and a!tel
dogying the carriages ofthe mourners, stalk
home like aspectre, md enters upon hi
books the expected income, the, Treasury il
to derive tbercfrom. What a blessing is
public debt! ..,i n s,ss.,. .,
