Foreign Affairs.

The condition Of our relations with for

new as revealed in the official dispatches
received at the State Department. Consul
General Biddle reports from Havana the
details of the release of the Lloyd Aspin-
wall, but does not mention any of the ru-
mors current here that the Spanish volun-
teers made any threats Of physical resist
ance to the same. So far as he can learn
the insurgent cause has not gained step
since his advices submitted in March, but
on the contrary is growing weaker.
Dispatches from Minister Sickles state
that affairs in Spain are more quiet than
they have been, and that there is less dis
satisfaction with the authorities at Madrid.

The offenses are charged in 1867 and
1865, and involved from fifty to seventy
thousand gallons, upon which there was a
tax, at that time, of $500 per gallon.
The Government seems to have been work

Taxation.

Taxation.
Members of the Ways and Means Com
1nittee are not well pleased with the bill
reported in the Senate to reduce taxa
ton forty millions of dollars, and declare
that it attempts to take from that commit
tee all the credit of weeks of hard labor
devoted TO patient investigation to see
what particular class of articles can be best
relieved from taxation without injury to
other interests that remain heavily taxed
under the Senate bill and without
detriment to the revenue of the
Government. They also state that if
taxes are to be removed without increasing
the administrative features of the law that
apply to articles that remain taxed the
Government will find itself in an unpleas-
ant situation when the new fiscal year
commences. More legislation is required,
they say, than merely to name list of ar
ticIes that shall be no longer taxed. While
there is some force in this argument, the
slow progress which the Ways and Means
Committee make, the pressure TO shorten
the session, and the desire to tighten taxa
ton all contribute to the belief that the
Senate bill will in the end be adopted.
Incomes.
The prospect of abolishing the income
tax is not as good as it was. Members
from the country districts very generally
declare that they will not vote to repeal
this tax 1t may be added here that the
returns made of the annual list OF taxes on
dividends, incomes, ETC., show far great
er amount as compared with last spring.
1t appears that more persons have made
returns of incomes for 1869. In a compa-
rative statement of the internal revenue
returns of nine months of this fiscal year,
compared with the same period Of the
last fiscal year, it appears that there has
been gain of 2O,OO0,000. OF this
amount there has been an increase Of Al
per cent. on tobacco, 90 per cent on spir-
its, 81 per cent. on bankers and brokers,
80 per cent. on legacics, Is per cent. on
incomes and 10 per cent. on gas. On fer
mented liquors there has been a loss Of 81
per cent. and on unenumerated sources 50
per cent. On all other classes there has
been an increase.

STRANGE AND TERRIBLE
OCCURRENCE,
A Man slides from the Top of Wheat
stack Uponthc Handle OF "a P,tchfork
and ~ KILLED. ..


We receive this moining the details of a
strange and terrible accident that occurred
on Thursday last, in harvest field, about
two miles back of the town of Brooklyn,
in Massac county. % '.a.
a number of hands were engaged at the
work of collecting and stacking the
shcaves of wheat. The stack had been
built ur to aheightof lftecnor sixteen feet
when the men stopped torest, one Of them
leaning his pitchfork against the side of
stack, the prongs resting upon the ground.
The man on top the stack had occasion to
come down, and, as he had often done
before, attempted 10 slide. down
the side Of tho stack. las While
descending, the handle of tho
fork passed between his legs and entered
his body 10 the deph Of eIercn inches
Thus impaled he fell forward to the
ground, the handle OF the fork breaking
off within about five inches of his body
His companions came to his assistance, and
as no medical aid was within convenien,
distance, IL was deemed bost to re move the
broken handle from the suffering man,
body. II required all the strength of {
strong man to do this, and when il can,
out, clinging TO and following 1t were las
eeroted portions of the poor fellows en-
trails. OF course, the result of such horri
bio injuries could only DO death In grea
agony the poor man fingered, until afto
dark, when death put an end to his suffer
F., ings. His name We were unable to learn
