The Committee Of ways and means

reduce internal taxes. The bill re-
peaIs all taxes on legacies, on. the

modified to excepts 81, 800 but retains
the percentage over that amount

than $1,000 income are not required
to make returns,
There are three features which are
Objectionable in the bill. The one

of all, having expired by limitation

wouid it be necessary ifthe two re-

believe the bill will pass the House
in its present shape. Besides the !
above, the bill repeals tax on earria-
ges, watches, dc, the tax on qas

manufactures, which is right, and
imposes taxes on foreign brokers,

A Most Terrible Crime-The PerPetra-
tors Hung by the Citizens.

FoRT ScoTT, May I3th.-An account of the
most diabolical affair ever recorded, is publish
ed in to-day's Monitor On Tuesday six men,
either Texans or struggling outlaws, from the
Indian territory, came to the town OF Ladore,
few miles south Of this. After drinking all
dav, they went to the boarding house Of J. n.
Roach, asked to stay all night, and being re-
fuse on account Of their drunken condition,
one of the party knocked Roach insensible
with a revolver. The party then went to the
bed occupied by Roach's two daughters aged
twelve and fourteen years, ravished them dur
inc the entire night, using knife to accom-
plish their purpose. Roach reyiyed after a
time, but feared to stir, knowing that he would
be killed if he did so. He describes the cries
and entreaties of the girls as heart rending.
A quarrel arose among the demons, and one
was shot dead while in the act Of satisfying
his lust. At daybreak the party fed, one tax
ing with him to the woods the youngest gill.
The town was Immediately aroused and parties
started IN every direction to search for the
finds. The enc with the girl was seon over
taken and hung to q tres; two others were
found secreted in the town, and hung on the
same tree. The remaining three were also
captured and two of them hung. The other
one, at last account, was in the custody OF the
citizens, but will probably share the fate of
his companions. The universal verdict here
is that in this instance, at least, the summary
manner of the inhiction of the punishment
was entirely iustihable

The Forest Ciy Base Ball Club,
of Cleveland, with Pratt ofAlleghany
City, as pitcher, visited Cincinnati
last week and had a conflict with the
Red Stockings. Up to the 6 innings
the game was remarkable, the score
standing Reds 3, Forest Cities 2.
On the 9th innings, however, the
Reds made 9 runs, but made no more
during the game; neither did the
Forest Citys. The score stood Red
Stockings II, Forest Citys ,, with
five whitewashes credited to the
Forest city-boys and seven to the
Reds. On Friday last another game
was played between them, the score
standing Red Stockings "A; Forest
City's 10.
After detailed account of the
second game by innings, the Gasette
says:
The game was peculiar one,
there being some Of the most won
derful catches made that has ever
been seen in this city. But as an
Offset to these plays there were few
miserable muffs and instances of
loose play, especially in the last in
ming, that must have made the bet
ting men indulge in considerable
profane language. Messrs. Pratt
and White are certainly two of the
best players in their positions in
America. Kimbull played second
base in better style than it has been
played in this city for some time.
Smith, at right field, played brilliant
ly yesterday, making the finest one
hand catch ever seen on these
grounds, in the third inning. In fact
each and every member of the Cleve-
land nine have reason to be proud of |
the exhibition of their skill they have
given in the Queen City.
The Red Stockings played a fine
game yesterday, and, if we except
the last inning, did their best to win |
by a large majority. OF the individ- |
ual play Fred. Waterman most de |
cidely carried off the honors in the |
field, and we doubt very much if AL |
lison could have played behind the |
bat in better style than Freddie did |
yesterday. George Wright, as usual, !
did exceedingly well in the field and |
al the bat. Gould could not be sur
passed at first base, and Leonard at
tended to everything that came in his
way at the third base. The increas-
ed score on both sides, yesterday, |
may he attributed to the improved |
Of the grounds.

THE INDIAN WAR.

OMAHA, May l6--A report from Niobrar,
of the 10th says the Indians from the Whet
stone agency made raid into Running Wa
ter valley on the 7th, killing boy ten YEAR
old, capturing n girl eleven years old, and sho
their mother, who is now recovering, and cap
tured some horses from the Ponia Indians a
the same time. The previous report of the
extensive Indian raid along the line of tht
Kansas Pacific railroad, now in process o.
construction between Carson and Denver i:
confirmed. Probably between twenty and
thirty men were killed and as many more
wounded and over one hundred head OF stoeb
run Off Arrangements have been made tc
intercept and punish the Indians who are ex.
pected to cross the Union Pacific railroad on
the way north with their plunder.
ST. LOUIS, May l6.-General Pope has re.
ceived dispatches from General Woods at For;
Wallace stating he has sent two troops Of
cavalry in pursuit OF the Indians who attack
ed the working parties on the Kansas Pacific
railroad Saturday. It is not known where the
Indians came from or what tribe they belong
ed to. They went north after the attack
taking about three hundred head of stock
with them. They were abut two hundred
strong.
DENVER, COLORADO, May l6-The Indian
raid Of Saturday, the 14th extended from Kit
Na4aoA NeeL 4uI IOIIy uLeS. Inc INDIANS,
supposed to be Cheyennes, were in small par
ties Of five to ten, though at Lake Station they
are said to have been two hundred strong.
They went northwest and further trouble is ex-
pected. Two companies of cavalry from Fort
Wallace reached Carson to-day and will be
distributed at camps along the road, and work
on the road will not be interrupted The fol-
lowing reported is reliable: Two miles west of
Carson thirty head of mules were run off, and
one man found dead and naked three miles
west.
Mr.. Dudley, an engineer, was killed and his
train captured. At the same place another
party had fight; two men were killed and
one wounded. The team was captured twenty
miles west. In a running fight one man was
killed and one wounded. Twenty-Five miles
west one man was killed and one wounded,
and will probably die. At Willow Springs,
Romero, Mexican town, was attacked; seven
ty mules were lost and one killed and four
wounded. Reports from Lake Station say
there was "a fight between two hundred Indi-
and and five Mexican trains. One man was
killed and three wounded. Several Indians
were killed and many wounded. Other re-
ports too conflicting to be reliable are given
Total killed viii probably reach twenty, names
unknown

Fundinrtbe Debt

1t is now argued in Washington
that the act of April Il, 1866, conveys
without further legislation, all the
power necessary for funding the
national debt. 1t authorizes the
Secretary of the Treasury to make
any exchange Of bonds for treasury
notes, or for other bonds, that he
may elect, and to dispose Of them
when, and where, and how, he sees
fit, either in the United States OF
elsewhere; the only restriction placed
upon his discretionary powers being
that he shall not increase the amount
of the public Indebtedness by any
such exchanges, and that no bonds
he may issue shall bear a higher rate
Of interest than six per cent. in coin,
or Z $40 interest in currency. and
that he shall not retire and cancel
more than four millions of United
States bonds in one month. If the
proviso that he shall not increase the
public debt be construed so that
bonds in the Treasury shall not be
considered part Of that debt, the
secretary has already ali the power
needed for rapidly funding the bond
ed debt of the United States.
