TOTAL %oosVtd -
During the years 1865 and 1867 there was collected
by Treasury special agents an aggregate tax OF
$2,0lS3l9 in the late lnsurrectlOnary states, tho
most OF which was on cotton; so that the tax Is 10
now proposed 70 refund amounts, IN round num-
bers, to $40, 100000.
THE RATE OF THE TAXES.
Under the act OF Congress OF July l, 1852 the tax
on raw cotton was nxed at one hall Of one per cent
per pound aud renamed at that rate until June 70,
1854 when 1t was increased TO two cents per pound.
On the 18th OF july 1885, however 1t was increased
to three cents per pound, where 1t remained until
September l, 1857, when 1t was liked at two and
one one han cents per pound On ihe 81 OF Feoruary'
1t will be seen by the above that Oil
for the refund or the cotton tax Is al
together stupendous affair, but, unless there
worth talking ABOUT The gentlemen engaged in
the work have already secured about Six million
dollars OF claims for refund under the proposed
law and are, 1t Is understood, daily gatherlng III
more.
All these claims, bought for song, will be worth
their face In greenbacks the instant the bill IN ques-

about them. as eacn one accompanied Dy recelps

OMAHA, Feb Q, 1872.
Governor James, who has been acting Governor
since the impeachment Of Governor Butler, went
East yesterday. J. S. Hasca, President Of the Sem

proclamation as acting Governor, convening the
State Legislature. The call Is made, among other
things, Tor the purpose OF taking action to when
any OF the State ofces snail be vacant the
ner OF filling the same; aud the investigation OF the
ofhcal conduct OF any officer, and, II deemed expe-
dent, his impeachment. 1t Is Claimed that this Is
sharp practice and that the intention Is to impeach
the absent Governor, IN which case Hascail would
become acting Governor. The Legislature Is called

THE SENATORIAL COMMITTEE ON ooRRUP-
TON.

Hank Smith and jay Gould Examined.
The Senatorial Committee that is now engaged In
asking questions regarding Senator Woods problty
as representative Of the people met yesterday
morning. at ten O'Clock, In their private parlor at
the VI. Nicholas Hotel. or course the proceedings
were as on the previous day, entirely secret, and
the persons VINO were most interested in finding
OUT what was happening were. In consequence,
most righteousy vexed at the persons who were
most interested in keeping 1t o mystery.
Hank Smith and Jay Gould were examined, and
this closed the evidence against Wood. To-day the
accused Senator will bring forward witnesses on his
side AS far as could be learned the evidence thu
FAR has not been very damaging to his cause, and as
Greeley was not examined 1t Is probabe that the
prosecution has proved itself very weak.
The investigation will be adjourned to Albany
soon, IN which city 1t will probably be completed.

The last tale of mans unfaithfulness
to man comes, from Selma. Alabama.
On the 1st OF January. 1871, a syndicate
o. young men was formed, one Of whom,
the most trustworthy Of them, was ap-
pointed treasurer. They then signed q
temperance pledge, and agreed to depo-
st on the frat day of each month $40
each, to be divided at the end of the
year among those members who re-
NAMED faithful to their obligation. One
by one they tainted and fell, until, at
the, expiration of the specified time,
there was only one who had not yielded
to the liquid temptation. he repaired
at the hour of noon on New Years Day
to the appointed place Of rendezvous to
receive the 81, > 440 which he had 30 nobly
earned. But the other eleven were not
there; 30, ful! OF fiery thirst. he hastened
to neighboring saloon to take his first
nip for twelvemonth. He had partial
II swallowed it when ten of his COL
leagues entered, and revealed to him the
horrifying fact that his watch was twenty
minutes too fast. He, too. had fallen,
and the vision of well.filled pocket.
book vanished. The eleven then re-
paired to the Office of the treasurer, only
to learn that he had lost all the money
playing draw-poker with one of the
church trustees. An effort is now being
made to keep the sorrowfnl story out Of
the newspapers.

A FEW reasons why they should have the
n preference over all others:
I. Wheeler i Wilson's Sowing Machine is
much simpler than any OF the others; re-.
quiring less than half the amount OF ma
chinery.
2. As the reault Of this simplicity, this ma
chine is much lees liable than the others to
get out of repair.
8. Another reeult Of this simplicity is
greater durability.
i. Another result is less friction and, con-
sequently, greater ease and rapidity OF mo-
Lion, with less noise.
8. And greatest OF all. that it nses no Shut
tie. and makes the lock stitch.
It is the cheapest to buy the best. Buy the
machine that has justly, fairly and honora-
bly, won a reputation and independence
against strong and bitter competition. For
more than twenty years has the Wheeler i
Wilson not only stood fret and foremost. but
now stands the unlivalled Sewing Machine OF
the enlightened civilized world. Buy .he ma
chine that has been thus tested and proved,
and then you are sure to get the best. For
