Governor Albeit, of New-Jersey, in hopes
that he might thereby read his title clear to
seat in the United States Senate, succeeded last
week in getting his cOrporatiOntax bill passed
by the Assembly. Neither he nor his friends,
however, have any idea that this radical measure
will be approved by the Senate ; in fact they
seem to desire it to fail there, that while the
corporations will not be provoked by an unfair
law, the anti-corporation people will be pleased
by Mr. Abbett's efforts to get one through.
This is a clever trick, bat ii is too old to work.
1t looks now as if the Senate would find fair
substitute for the measure, which can pass both
houses That would be a disappointment to the
Albeit men; but majority Of the people in
New jersey doubtless would approve such
action.

stronghold of the rebels. The insurgents made

1t has been assumed that Senator McPhersOn
whose Bank bill has passed the Senate would
support as a necessary complement OF that
measure removal of the tax on bank circula-
tiOn. No competent person. so far as we know,
has INDUCED the hope that this Or any similar
bill would attain the end desired UithOW such
removal of the tax. Alone. the Mcpherson bill
would do good, OF COURSE just as u dinner for one
would do some good if divided among dozen
starving men, but it would not an est the cOntrac-
tion of circulation. Thus far, Congress does
not seem to have taken any steps toward
removal of the tax. The House Committee of
WAYS and Means has been occupied with the
tariff question, it is true, but it would not take
many minutes to agree upon simple bill for
the repeal OF this altogether unnecessary and
pernicious tax. Will not some member give the
