4 BILL has been prepared for introduc-
ton in Congress to consolidate the Internal
Revenue Bureau with the Customs Bureau
of the Treasury, and place all the col.
lections Of revenue by the government I'M
der one head, with system of special
agents, who are TO assess as well as collect
the revenue from internal sources. It is
not proposed, of course, to change the
mode of collecting the revenue from GUS
toms. The bill, it is claimed, will do away
with large force of officials, including the
Internal Revenue Bureau and some of the
deputies, and save the government many
millions of dollars. With this and other
bills relating to the same general question
it is evident that the Committee on Ways
and Means will have the proper basis from
which to frame a bill for the early action
Of Congress.

the products Of tho fisheries of Canada and
Prince Edwards Island, as provided for in
the treaty, shall therefore be admitted into
tho ports Of the United States free of duty.
The bill also provides that the same privi-
leges shall be accorded to the people of
Newfoundland whenever that colony shall
give its consent to the application of the
stipuletions of the articles Of the treaty
before referred to. The third section regu-
lates the passage Of foreign goods destined
for Canadian ports through our territory
free of duty, and the fourth gives effect to
that portion of the treaty relating to the
navigation of the st Lawrence and the great
lakes.
In the morning hour, after to day, the
first special order is the Civil Rights bill, re-.
ported at the last session by Mr.. Frye.
This was read a second time, and pending
the question of its engrossment, Mr.. Nib
lack moved to lay it on the table. 1t came
up several times after, but the Democrats
filibustered the time away, and it never
advanced further. This bill is identical
with Mr.. Summers original bill, which
was amended and passed by the SEN
ate, and is now on the Speakers table.
The only other special order for the morn
ing hour Is "a bill to provide for the retire
ment of worn and mutilated national bank
notes." reported by Mr.. Monroe, from the
Committee on Banking and Currency.
1t is probable that the consideration o.
these measures, with the appropriation bills
prepared in advance by the several com.
mittees, will chiefly occupy the attention
of Congress during the three months of it,
continuance.

POSTMASTER GENERAL CREswELL,
in his report, recommends that the Govern
ment purchase existing lines for the postal
telegraph system, provided that they can
be obtained for s12 100000. If not, then
he recommends that the Government build
its own lines, with all its operators
made officers of the Postoffice Depart
ment. This is in brief the whole Of his
recommendations on the subject. Some of
the friends, of the system favor what is
known as the Hubbard bill, now before the
House Appropriations Committee, which
provides for the Government contracting
with existing ornew lines TO do its business,
the same as il contracts 10 transport the
mails. The plan submitted BY the Postmas-
ter-Gencral is said to be fully endorsed by
the President, and is the one which will be
likely TO meet the approval Of Congress.
The Committee having tho Hubbard bill
before it has come to no definite conclusion
ON the matter.

THE death of Horace Greeley seems to
have caused the most sincere and profound
sorrow throughout the entire country. No
one of oil the ten thousand journals in
America, has an unkind thought to ex-
press of him over his still open grave.
What he said Of himself, in moment Of
seeming mental alteration, that "he died
when be was born, and was born when
he died )" is no unmeaning truth. A bright
star has been quenched, but its light has
not gone out in darkness. The lustre it
impaired in life ''still lives" and will be
an inspiration for millions in all time to
come.

MEETING OF CONGRESS-.

Congress meets to-day in liz second or
short session, and will sit till the 9TH OF
March next. We expect to be able to
publish very full synopsis Of the Presi-
dents message on our first page to-day, If
the telegrnphic arrangements We have made
for that purpose aro fully carried cut.
Should the message be sent in at an early
hour, our readers will not be disappointed,
we trust, in this respect.
The first special order after the morning
hour is "a bill to secure the public lands to
actual settlers,n which was reported by
the Committee on Public Lands at the last
session, and which now stands on the jour-
nal to ''the exclusion of all other orders
from day to day till disposed Of" As this
bill is one of vital importance to the coun-
try, it is hoped that it will pass without
opposition into law. As it ia now the
highest privileged order in the House, we
hope it will be made q matter of para.
mount consideration by both branches Of
Congress. The next special order is the
bill reported by Mr.. Banks from the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, in February
last, Ito carry into effect the provisions OF
the treaty between the United States and
Great Britain, signed i'll the city of Wash.
ington the sth day of May, 1871, relating
to fisheries" and when once taken up it
will be Likely to hold its place until dis
posed Of.
AS the international misunderstanding in
regard TO the Interpretation of other parts
Of the treaty have now all been settled, the
House will be moro willing than it was last
spring to act upon this bill. II provides
that whenever the President shall receive
satisfactory evidence that the British and
Dominion Parliaments and the Legislature
Of Prince Edwards Island have passed
laws to give effect to the articles of the
Treaty of Washington touching the fisher.
les, be shall be authorized to issue o procla

PETERNRLhG.

We were delighted to find in recent visit
to our nearest ncishboring city. evidences
of increasing thrift and enterprise. On every
hand the crowded streets betoken stream
of trade rapidly increasing and destined to
build up the city to degree commensurate
with its fine position and commanding ad-
vantages. It's two dailies, the Inder and
appeal, are models of journalistic vigor and
enterprise. During the late session of the
Farmers Convention, two other important
associations were sitting in that city. Yet
the morning papers contained minute and
complete reports IN e:rtenso of the business.
The very full report Of the former by Mr..
Gregory, the accomplished editor of the
Appeal, was generally complimented by
| members of the Convention.
The Rural Messenger, new agricultu-
raj weekly, edited by DR.. G. w. Briggs
and associates, is receiving the substan-
tial support which it deserves. No city
can prosper which does not support its
newspapers, and we hope to see our Peters.
burg brethren receive the rich reward of
their energetic labors. We desire to see
Petersburg adopt large, liberal, progressive
policy in all things, and thus secure great
prosperity. 1t will thus help the country
around it, and be in turned helped. We
want just such u rival to wake up the
sleepy old fogyism of Richmond. There
is no conflict of interest between the two
cities, but We shall be glad if, for fear o.
being out-done by the other, both shall re-
double their efforts to put these cities in the
van of intellectual and material progress
of the country.
| Cities are the vitalizing centres OF ou
modern society, and they should intensity
rather than absorb and benumb the electri
life of the nation or the State. Our bes
wishes and ready word or hand of help
fitness always for our neighbor city ii
every good work for herself or for the peo
pie.
