GENERAL WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, July misrepresentation
Morrison's report on the Randall bill says:
THE bill proposes to remove all internal
taxes on tobacco, snuff and cigars amount
ing on the basis of last years receipts to
$2s, ooo, 900 on apple, peach and grape
the arts ~yariously estimated at from
81, 900, 900 to SIS ,OOO,O 900 and believed
to be at least $40 900. 900, making in the
aggregate of Internal Revenue taxes to be
removed $39,4OO 900. In the appendix OF
estimates submitted with the bill as a part
OF it the reduction Of revenue from customs
on tariff taxes to be effected by it is esti.
mated at $S,57O,576, making an aggregate
OF the proposed reductions $4S 900 600.
The bill to so reduce excessive revenues
and a statement that there were no .exces-
sive revenues to be reduced we're submitted
to the House by some member in the same
half month. II the statement that the
revenues will not exceed the appropriations
and estimates with a bill including a loes
OF receipts from brandy and from spirits
for use in the arts may be created. IHe
enactment Of the bill into q law will leave
the Government $4S, 600, 900 short, a sum
necessary to the administration OF the
Government md the requirements OF the
public debt authorized by law, including the
debt incurred by the payment OF pensions
already allowed, the validity Of which we
may rot question and the payment OF
which is enjoined upon us in the path we
have taken to support the constitution.
Your committee ID unwilling to credit q
purpose SO lacking in patriotism, so lor.
oetful OF PUBLIC faith, and must believe
these and the other provisions OF the btt
to be the result OF a fiscal dtstemper nm
dering a just comprehension and intelir
gent treatment OF the suhjebt. In view OF
its effect and purpose, so far as it hasa
purpose OF affecting the revenue OF tne
Government the bill might we'll be lett to
that neglect which no doubt it was ex-
pevted to receive.
