The bill proposed to Congress by Commits
sioner Douglass in reference to the collection
of the internal revenue seems to meet with
general appreciation. In brief, it divides the
present duties of the assessors into two parts,
the first to be transferred to the collectors
and only the assessments Of deficiency taxes
on distillers, the license taxes and tax on
banks are to be transferred to the commits
sioner and his assistants at Washington. 1t
discharges Immediately the whole force of as
SCISSORS and assistants which will result in a
large saving in salaries. In the place of this
large force the commissioner will require an
additional number OF clerks, not exceeding
ten. 1t is generally believed by those ac-
quainted with the matter that by the close Of
the year 1873 one half, at least, of the
collectors may be dispensed with and the
work of Immediately reducing the number
of districts is advocated.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4, 1872.
OPENING OF THE SESSION IN THE SENATE.
As early as nine o'clock in the morning peo-
pie began to flock to the capitol to witness
the start, each determined to be in at the
word ''go," aud further determined to Sc
cure good seat in the gallery. About ten a
few Senators made their appearance in the
Senate Chamber, among whom were Sena-
tors Morton, and Morrill, of Maine. "Where
around, showing that the Vice President
elect was considered the "star" of the COM
pany. Quite early in the day Senators Cam
eron and Carpenter appeared on the floor
where they took very lively part in the So
cial chats that were by this time going on all
over the chamber among Senators and visit
ors. Senator Chandler, ''Old Zach,'' as the
boys call him, was driving around among the
assembled greatness, and the bursts of mer-
riment that seemed to follow him indicated
that he, at least, was in cheerful frame of
mind. At quarter before twelve Schurz and
Sumner appeared, almost at the same mo-
ment. Fenton had come in earlier and Tip
ton came about the same time. fancied
that each of these men wore an anxious,
careworn look, more especially Fenten. Is it
to be wondered at that the labor and disap-
pointment OF the late campaign have indeed
'left their traces on heart and brai,l'? Mr..
Conkling appeared at ten minutes before
twelve, and the meeting between him and
Senator Chandler was particularly noticeable
or its extreme cordially. AT five minutes
before twelve Senator Hamlin came in his
own quiet way, and went directly to the cloak
room, shaking hands and saying few words
to those who happened to be in his immedi-
diate vicinity as he passed along. A few sec
onds before twelve Vice President Colfax APP
peared at the door on the left of the desk ac-
companied by the Chaplain, Rev. Dr. New
man. Another poment and Mr.. Colfax
stepped quickly to the desk and with glance
pack to see that the Chaplain was at hand,
Drought the Senate to almost instant silence
by single blow of the gavel. An eloquent
anu a., earnest prayer was then offered by the
ChaPlain, and at eight minutes past twelve
tne SENATE was apparently as busy at work as
though they had been in session for a month.
senator Irumbul was not present, although
ne mas been IN tie city for several DAYS.
Among the eminent men on the floor of the
Senate were Hon. B. f. Wade Secretaries

Should Taxation be Farther Reduced9

1t appears to be the opinion of Secretary
Boutwell, as well as OF the President that the
taxes, internal and customs, should net be
further reduced at present. The Democratic
papers express dissatisfaction with the posi-
ton. They affirm that it is no longer neces-
sary to impose taxes for the purpose OF pay
ing off a hundred millions annually OF debt
not vet due the evidences of which can be OBJ
tanned only by paying smart premium.
They hold that further reductions should be
made until the revenue is just sufficient to
pay current expenses and the interest on the
public debt. 1t seems to us that they labor
under a misrepresentation. 1t is true that the
payment of hundred millions of the debt
has been anticipated during tho past year,
and that the reduction is still going on, but
with somewhat diminished rapidity. But
who knows whether the process can be con-
tinued when the full effect of the reduction
in taxation, provided for by the acts Of May
and June last is felt? By the first of those
laws twenty millions are taken from the in
ternal revenue, and by the second the tariff is
reduced thirty millions. These reductions, in
addition to the two hundred and fifty millions
previously made since the war, are enormous,
and the estimates of the Secretary Of the
Treasury for the fiscal year ending June Both,
1874, show that he anticipates from existing
laws sum only trife larger than is neees-
sary to meet ordinary expenses, the interest
on the public debt and the requirements of
the sinking fund. This sinking fund is ex-
actly what the Democratic papers have over
looked. 1t requires, if we are not mistaken,
some thirty millions year. Established in
1859, it is one of the pillars on which the pub
lie credit rests. To ignore it would be to
give as severe blow to the financial credit Of
the government as similar act would to
railroad corporation. Capitalists who invest in
government securities and take the bonds of
the United States under the new funding act
look of course more or less closely at the pro-
vision made for the redemption of the ma
TONS promises to pay and to the fidelity of
the government in holding sacred all funds
accumulated for that purpose.
Experience may show very speedily that
an increase of imports and increased receipts
from such articles as are still subject to the
excise tax will afford large surplus revenue,
notwithstanding the fact that taxes are now
only about one-haJ what they were at the
close of the war. In that case the people
will promptly demand further tightening of
their burdens. Till then they will endure
with high degree of calmness and resigna-
ton the present unpIeasantly high rate of
taxation.
