that three per cent shall be collected on in
comes between s., 900 and $4,000, and FIVE

tanned. He subsequently withdrew the

in the action Of the Committee of the
Whole, striking out the enacting clause.

with the Committee of the Whole in
striking out the enactng clause, ayes 106,
nays $50, and the bin stands recommitted

effort to get up what is known as the caucus

THE GALLOWS.TREE.
Wholesale Murderer Executed

a "hOLeaAAE EzACGuhCAs
PITrsBURG, Feb. 23.-Ernest Ouwein
was hanged to-day for the murder of the
Hammett family on the night of the 29th Of
last April, near Homestead, aYillage six
miles above this city. His victims were John
Hammett, a well-to-dO former, his wife
Agnes, two daughters named Ida and En-
ma, aud bound boy named Rob't Smith.
The murderer was discovered early
next morning, the burning Of their
house attracting the attention Of
the neighbors, and during the day the re-
mains of the unfortunate family were
taken from the ruins. At the time of the
murder, Ortwein was engaged as a farm
hand by Mr.. Hammett andi treated as one
of the family. He is native Of Germany
and has been in this country about two
years. After his arrest he made cOnfes-
sion and had since expressed himself as
willing and ready to pay the penalty of his
crime.
Ortwein died easy. He said on the scaf-
fold:
q suffer for what 1 have deserved. 1
committed the murder. l am willing and
ready to die. l most heartily thank all
for the kindness shown to me. May God
have mercy upon my soul. L hope to meet
you all in Heaven, for Christ's sake

Mr. Young moved TO amend the income
tax section by recurring all collectors n;
| the States and Territories, to, De citizens OF
such States or Territories. Adopted.
A section was adopted imposing tax OF
One-tenth Of one per cent. on all sales Of
stocks, bonds, gold and silver and other
securities.
Mr.. Dawes moved, amid much, excite
nient. sud cries OF "Where is tne hen
now ?" to strike out the enacting clause
Of the bill. Carried, 10 to "a.
The committee rose and reported that ac-
tion to the House.
The House then proceeded 70 vote on
striking out the enactihg clause, and it was
not agreed to, yeas LOG, nays 15O.
The bill was again referred to the Com
mittee Of The Whole, by which it was
amended in several particulars and thsn
reported to the House.
Mr.. Dawes thereupon proceeded to ad-
dress the House on the necessity Of prOYid-
ing for the deficit in the Treasury, and
spoke Of the iInpossibility of framing any
revenue bill that would satisfy all sections
and all interests. BE referred to the in
come tax as a tax which was most just and
proper in theory, but as one which had
proved Objectionable in all countries where
il was tried, because it was promOtiye Of
perjury and Generalization. Believing
that the necessities Of the government cali
ed on Congress 10 pass some revenue
measure before Adjournment, he proposed
to make one more effort in that direction.
He, therefore, offered as a substitute for the
bill, one fixing the tax on whisky to be
hereafter made ninety cents a gallon, to-
baccO and sugar as in the amended bill,
and restoring ten per cent. on manufac-
tured goods, and on that he moved the pre-
viOus question.
The previous question was seconded, and
the main question ordered, yeas 133, nays
ia. The substitute was then agreed to,
yeas 131, nays Ill. The bill was then
read a third time and passed, yeas 12S,
nays 11J.
The House then adjourned.

Stand.
Close of the Testimony for the
Prosecution.

NEW YORE, Feb. 25.-In the Beecher
case, to-day, Mrs. MoultOn said, during her
redirect examination:
"When kissed Beecher, was sorry at
the anguish ne exhibited. He was crying,
and was crying, and l felt as if l was in
the presence Of death. / thought that
should never see him again, as
was afraid he was about to
commit suicide. l remember, also, one
Friday evening Beecher came into the
room very much depressed, and l put my
hands on his shoulder and said: Frank,
take care Of this good man. At the time
l kissed Beecher on the forehead, told
Frank, when he returned, Of the interview
and of what had DONE"
Mrs. Katie Carey was recalled, and ad-
mitted to Mr.. Evarts that she had been dis
charged from one place for intOxication.
This closed the case for the prosecution.

WASHINGTON.
The Cabinet Consultation.

on Grant.
The Cabinet consultation.


] WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The Cabinet
was in session two hours and a half to-day.
| The condition Of business before Congress
was a subject Of some conversation. The
| proposals from the Pacific railroads were
also discussed, and the general impression
| prevailed that at the present time nothing
should be done with reference thereto, 50
that no communication will be made by
Secretary BristOw to Congress on the sub
ject. 1t is thought that should the matter
be presented at this time, its consideration
in Congress might ieOpardize some of the
appropriation bills, owing to the pTObabil-
ity Of q contamination OF valuable time in
its discussion.
The Mexican War Veterans Call ON
Grant.
The Mexican war veterans were received
/ by the President today in the east room.
The delegates, numbering nearly 200, were
introduced by ex-GOv. Herbert, Of LOuisi-
ana. There was no speech making. After
the ceremony, the veterans marched 70 their
hall and listened % IN oration. President
Grant was presented with badge Of the
association.
Quietus OF the Texas Pacific Bill.
The friends Of Tom SeOtt's Texas Pacific
bill were greatly surprised and chagrined
at the revelation of their weakness in the
House. 1t had been estimated that a test
vote would give them twenty majority in
the House aud the result yesterday was
overwhelming. This seems finally to settle
the measure for this Congress, unless fnan-
cial arguments are at once adduced to infiu
ence action. Many votes were given in
favor Of setting time to consider the bill,
by gentlemen who were opposed to and
would not vote for it on any account,
Louisiana Affairs.
The proposed compromise between the
Conservatives and Republicans of Louis
lana, is not vet settled. The President to-
day, had an interview with Representative
Wheeler, and aftcrward sent for Marshal
Packard, requesting him to confer with
Mr.. Wheeler. As the Legislature will ad-
iourn on the 4th of March, Mr.. Wheeler
telegraphed to Governor kellogg asking
him as preliminary, whether he would
call an extra session Of the Legislature.
A private telegram to a Representative
from Louisiana, received tonight, says
kellogg is reluctant to call an extra ses-
sion. The Conservative committee now
here are still anxious that an accOmmOda-
ton may be effected, Though the prospect
is not promising.

In eighty-five years, from 1879 to
1874, the Federal Government has col
Iected in taxes S6,O0O,OOOOOO. The
extraordinary part Of the figures is that
considerably more than one-half of the
sum, namely, S3,4OO,OOO,OOO, has been
collected since the late war closed. The
Philadelphia Inquirer Rep cannot
exactly understand how such things
can be, and "not overcome US like a
summers cloud" especially since the
National debt is about the same as It
was in 1866, and that debt is seven
hundred million of dollars less than
the sum collected IN taxes.
