From Washington.

The bill to repeal the income tax, passed by
the senats last week. was sent to the hoase and
returned BY that body to the senate with an in.
timation that the house did not recognize the
right OF the senate to originate bill relating to
taxation. The constitution prohibits the senate
from originating bills to levy taxes, but says
nothing about bills renting taxes. The SON
ate, however, will probably not insist on the
matter, but attach its bill to the first appropria.
ton bill from the house, as an amendment.
For the first time in ten years Georgia il again
represented in the United States senate. Hon.
Joshua Hill, who was the last member of tho
old Georgia delegation to leave the house, was
the first to enter the senate on Monday as n sen.
ator. He was admitted by : largo vote, His
colleague, Mr.. Miller, who is demecrat WAS
not quite 80 fortunate, but will probably be adj
mitted within a week.

The following paragraph concerning Mrs
Lincoln is from the London correspondent of
Louisville paper: "Mrs. Lincoln, who is at
present in London, hasjust left our apartments
being an old acquaintance of the better one of
US. Her friends at home, am assured, would
hardly recognize her. Reduced in flesh and
impaired in health, she seems completely
rejavenated, if, indeed, rejuvenatisn can be
affirmed without offence Of one who has never
been old. She is in London for the purpose OF
placing hor son Tad at school. This pur-
pose accomplished, she proposes, believe, to
join her friend, Mrs. Bishop Simpson, at
Rome, and make with her the tour Of Italy.

SMALL POTATO LEGlsLATIoN--A bill has

A Section of Law.

For the benefit of our Santa Fe ex- changes, Colonel Pope, and those officers here who hold it legal to con- tlscate the property of every man in Arizona who trades with the Indians without permit from them to do so. we give section seven of Act of Con gress, approved February 2S, 1859, which Is law to-day:
 Sec. '. And be 1t further enacted, That the Commissioner of Indian Af- fairs, under the direction of the Secrc- tary of the Interior. Is hereby author ized and directed to prepare rules and regulations for the government of the Indian service, and for trade and in- tercourse with the Indian tribes and the regulations of their affairs; and when approved by the President shall be submitted to the Congress of the United States for its approval; pro- vided, that such laws, rules, and reg ulatlons proposed shall not be in force until enacted by Congress.
 Now let the people note these facts that neither the Indian Department nor the President of the United States can make laws, rules, or regulations for trade and intercourse with the h. dians, which can be enforced until they are enacted by Congress. 4a.ll men are by law forbidden to sell liquor to Indians, and incidentally we now direct the attention of the off cials having charge of Indians in Ari- zona to the Act of February, 13, 1862. Indians are made competent witnesses those who sell liquor to them, and the officials over them are required to look up the evidence and have of lenders punished. But don't let the people be gulled by an exhibition of rules and regulations of the Indian unless they can be shown to have been "enacted by Congress-

THE COAST LINE.

ROads-The Metropolis, etc. SAN FRANCISCO, August 6.-It may
 interest a portion of THE CITIZEN
 readers to give brief account of the
 coast route overland between San Ber-
 nardino and this city-arriving here
 Thursday evening last, just one week
 from the time I reached the former
 place. Stopped over at different points
 three days and four nights.
 San Bernardino, the last before the
 jumping-of place toward Arizona, is
 the most substantial settlement ac-
 cording to its extent, of any in south
 ern California. It is laid out Mormon
 fashion - north, south, etc.; no old
 adobes crumbling around like the re-
 mains of some crooked fertilization Any one investing in real estate there now, will realize handsomely in view of the railroads and current improve ments. To Los Angeles, 65 miles, the road Is hard and smooth with the ex- ception of mile or two. The cele- brated Cocomungo wine establishment is the chief attraction on the way. Ben. Holladay owns this bit of stage line, just to keep his hand in, I sup pose. It is all the stage property he does own now, and he has no business to be bothered with that. It is well conducted. His steamers having no opposition again, l found it about as cheap to take the coast line stage would get here several days sooner, besides 1 wanted to come the overland route
 Los Angeles is pushing itself up through the old Spanish walls quite effectivel y-some fine buildings on the way. Still, few barricades to con- meet those old mud lines of outer works remaining, and the city of An gels would be effectively fortified. The place appears in thriving condi- ton notwithstanding dry seasons, and it is little city in most every sense which a State so new should feel proud of. It has depended so far on irrigation as & rule in agri- culture. San Bernard1no has more water for this purpose than Los Angeles.
 The Coast Stage Line is the prop erty of Flint, Bixby $ Co.-the sheep men resident at San Juan. They have 1o use for this line, but were compelled 70 take it through transactions. It carries the daily mail between Gilroy md San Diego. It is entitled to the name of first-class in stage business. It runs the good old leather-line1 Con- ,ord coach, four to six fine horses on l5-mile stretches. I should think Ben: Holladay would possess himself 'f this property ere long, and have pretty good monopoly of passenger raffic south of the metropolis. The steamers cut up the through business for the stage company, but it ooks as though the way trade were Ilways important. Owing to the toppages of the steamers, the stage gets through on as good time, besides every day. The fares from San Bernardino to San Francisco, in luding railroad from Gilroy, amounts Q $25; the feed to about half as much nore. The cars now run 20 miles
