A Fair Prospect of Escaping the
Threatened Taxation.

1t is quite possible that the people
will still have an opportunity to drink
untaxed tea and coffee, and that the ex-
cuse for running up these articles willbe
taken away. 1t seems that the Ways and
Means Committee in Congress grows
daily more averse to granting Secretary
Richardson's request for the imposition
Of additional taxes, and also, according tc
q special in the Cincinnati Commercial
that the Commissioner Of Internal Rev
enue has expressed himself to the iollgw'
ing effect:
That the receipts in his branch Of the
service were rapidly coming up, that they
have now reached the point at which
they were before the panic, and that he
believed that they would not only come
up to his estimates, but exceed them by
three or four millions by tho time the
fiscal year has expired. Members of the
committee are also of the opinion that
while the falling of in the revenues from
import dulles still remain as great as ever,
those duties must and will increase within
the next month or two. The falling of
at the time oil the panic was about twenty.
five per cent on each of these two prin-
cipal sources OF revenue, and upon this
percentage Richardson argued that there
would be q deficit Of $42, 100000. Doug.
lass says that the internal revenue 70.
ceipts will be what he estimated them at
the beginning the fiscal year, or more.
II this iS 80, Il will take twenty-five to
twenty.eightm millions from the Secretary's
estimated deficit Of forty.two millions,
and tho remainder will be still further re.
duced by the increase in import duties,
which Is reasonably looked for. For
these reasons the committee are convinced
that at the outside fguses tho deficit will
not exceed fifteen or twenty millions, and
are not disposed 10 be hasty in legislatiug
newstaxes upon tho people.

Death Of a Philadelphia Miser.

L PASSMORE HANBEST, Phila-
- . delphian of eccentric and penurious
habit died in that city recently aged fifty
seven years. He commenced life as la
borer but soon abandoned that, and turned
huckster, selling oysters and farm produce.
Having early determined to become rich
he practiced the utmost self denial, and
being man Of much shrewdness he took
up the study of law, in his leisure hours,
and as soon as he could do so set up as
pettifogger. Repeatedly was he refused
admission to the bar however, on account
of his moral character, until at last it oc-
CURED to him that through the operation
of mandamus issued by the Judge of the
Common Pleas, the Law Examiner would
be compelled to give him an examination.
Ho made,it is said, through, John sergent,
whose gratitude he had won in some way,
an appeal for such mandamus, and the
Judge for the same reason that had actu-
ated the examiners, denied the motion. 1t
fortunately happened soon after, while
Chief Justice Gibson was on the Supreme
Bench, that Mr.. Hanbest obtained hear
ing before that distinguished justice, and
