A Washington special says the reduction of
the public debt this month is likely to be from
sixteen million to eighteen million dollars.
The Senate is still hammering away at the
franking system, with no possible chance that
the House bill abolishing it will be enacted.
Mr.. Sumner insists on its abolition, but that
people shall receive a substitute in the shape
of a universal one cent postage. His PROPOSE
ton is that the letter sent by mail shall pay
for itself, and not for the newspaper or the
Congressional documents or the departmental
free matter.
Among the many private bills passed by the
House on Saturday were two which had al
ready been passed by the Senate, authorizing
the issue of new U. S. bonds to Mary A.
Coolidge of Augusta, Me-, and to Reuben
Grindle of Castine, Me-, in place of others
destroyed by fire.
Gen. Appleton of Maine, who was recently

TAX AND thrift BILL.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser says this bill will be re-
ported in greatly modified form. The
tax section mostly gives way for the Sher-
man bill which does not attempt to codify
the internal revenue laws at all, but SIM
ply abolishes taxes on sales. gross receipts,
legacies, SUGGESTIONS, carriages, gold
watches and silver plate, passports, and all
special taxes, except those on bankers and
brokers, and leaves nothing but taxes on
spirits, tobacco, fomented liquors, gas, in
come, and banks and brokers; the com
mittee also abolishes the stamp tax on re-
ceipts and small notrs. The income ques-
ton remains TO be settled The tax on
whiskey is not changed in any respect. The
committee will probably go with the House
for the per cent rate and $4,000 exemp-
ton. The committee does not altogether
like the idea of tinkering with the tariff,
but accepts what the House has done with
several changes. The reduction in tea to
Is cents, coffee to 8 cents, pig iron to -
and scrap iron 10 Sc. is concurred in

House rates on spices of various kinds are
