The TntlfTitnd the Internal Revenue.
From the Time
A VVasliinuton despatch, purporting to cxpliiin
the position of the tiirilf question, remarks thut
'if a tariff hill fixing niirii tin lies becomes a law,
a material reduction of internal revenue tuxes
will ! assented to, the two ends beinii lnconi
patible with the requirements of tho Treasury
for revenue. Especially," it Is added, '-will this
be the case ns regards the tax on manufactures
and the income tax." The "Incompatibility,"
we submit, Is all the other way.
lhe most plausible argument lor higher cus
toms' duties jrrows out of the enormous burden
of internal taxation, ihc high prire of labor
is supplemented with a taxation thut reacnes
cverv article entering into manufactures;
reaches them, too, not once alone, but sepa
rately, and oiien also in the aggregate. Tlie
income tax aids to t lie load, always vxntlously
and harshly, and not seldom uuiuhtly. Irre
spective, to'en, of the abstract merits of protec
tion and iree trade, the manufacturing class
bave had a (.irons show of right in their plea
lor lefislntive lavor, a against the products of
other countries, bavtnir cheaper labor and less
onerous taxation. The national uee9cines
having subjected them t serious disadvantages
in reeard to tnc cost of production, it "has been
but fait that ih.v should have countervailing
advantaces in the shape dT protection, direct or
incidental.
The most rational method of relieving the
manufacturer still further, would seem to bo
found in the revision and amendment of the
internal revenue system. Of the lifty-bve ruiU
Jions whir'h Mr. Wells proposes to appropriate
to the reduction of taxation, thirty-tive millions
are assigned 10 the reduction of taxes prejudi
cial to manufacturing industry, the remaining
twenty millions being in the main devoted to
the removal f import duties upou certain raw
materials of manufacture. These changes
would be ejuivalent to an increase ol protec
tion, with turn dnlerence that while heavier
customs' dutKH would entail a more oppressive
load upon the multitude of consumers, to react
upon (lie manufacturers In the form of higher
wanes lor labor, this cheapening ot raw mate
rials cud lightening of internal taxation would
afford reliei to the manufacturer, and prob tbly
some, thouuh not corresponding, benefit to the
consumer. In eil'ect, the Ufty-tlve millions saved
would be saved for the prolit of manufacturers.
This does not satisfy them, however. It the
Washington writer is correctly informed, th"y
demand hoc only reliei to the extent of fifty
five tnillious, as proposed, but additional tarilf
protection to the tune of we know not how
many millions.
Instead of fifty-five millions to be thus em
ployed, Mr. Wells' data show that a margin of
a hundred millions might bo calculated unon
as the basis of taxation reform. Only let com
mon sen e prevail concerning the principal of
the public debt, and the humired-ujillion
margi'i will be attainable. Only let the reduc
tion of the debt be deferred until the country
shall have regained a normal and settled con
dition in respect of taxation and industry, and
the succor smreestcd by the Revenue Commis
sioner might be nearly doubled. By this pro
cess we should realize the means of sweeping
away the income tax, or at any date of reducius:
it to insignificance. Thus, it is in the power ot
Congress to afford a vast amount of relief, in
directly, to manufacturers and the community,
vithout the Injury and luiusfice which are in
volved in the demand lor prohibitory duties.
To reduce internal taxation and to'ster manu
factures bv the free importation of raw materials,
and at the same time to raise the tariff tor the
accommodation of the class thus helped, would
bo monstrous. It the prohibitionists are masters
of the situation, so far as the tarilf is concerned ,
all other available relief belongs of right to the
public. The true policy, however, is to discard
special cla.nis for exaggerated protection, and
bo to levise the system of taxation, customs and
internal, that any change resolved upon shall
inure to the profit of the community. By the
plan suggested, the manufacturer would enjoy
his lair proportion ot beuetit, and that is all to
which he is entitled. His case may justify a
certain degree of tariff protection, but nothing
can justify the double system of protection
which appears to be among the immediate
possibilities of the future.
The Seiiate Tail AT Bill.
From the Tribune.
In the Tariff bill reported to the Senate by
the Finance Committee on Friday last,
it will be seen that the committee while
accept Mr. Wells' bill as a basis, they muse
several important changes. The duties on
brandy and other alcoholic liquors are unal
tered, but in wools and woollens the rates of
the House bill, passed at the last session, are
generally adopted. On wools of the first class,
imported unwashed, and valued at 24 cents or
less per pound, for instance, the duty m now
six cents, a rate, Mr. Wells' bill would retain,
while the committee fix the duty at 10 cents,
and 10 per cent, ad valorem. So upon sheep
skins and Angoia goatskins, which in the pre
sent tariff and the bill of Mr. Wells are taxe I
but 20 per cent., the new bill imposes 30 per
cent. This dillerence rules in all me grades
of raw wool. In manu'actnred woollen
goods, broad cloths, casaimeres, etc., on
which Mr. Wells proposes a duty of 23
per cent, and 40 per cent, ad va
lorem, the new bill imposes 45 per cent, and
35 per cent, od valorem. A proportionate in
crease is made in blankets and yarn?, for which
Mr. Wells proposes a duty of 10 cents per pound,
and the committee 20, for qualities of less vulus
than 40 cents per pound. In other qualities the
tame rates are hxed, goods value I above 80
cents paying a duty ot CO cents, with 30 per
cent, ad valorem. Woollen hosiery is taxed at
40 cents instead of 20, and hats and caps at 60
instead ot 25. In webbings, frinues, etc., a
proportionate increase Is reported by the com
mittee. Thev also increase tue duty upon silk
poods generally. Our cotton manufacturers are
well protected by the new bill, and we should
be satisfied it the duties on all other articles
were up to the standarl In this respect.
The classifications of the House bill upon iron
are retained, with a slight increase ot the rates.
The committee make no chances in the duties
J imposed by Comiuisfioner Wells upon coal, and
eave the lree list with very little change. An
important addition to the Wtlls bill is the sec
tion of the House bill which allows a drawback
on the imported materials used in the manufac
ture ot farming machines and other tools, and a
new section provides for a drawback upon iron,
copper, and cordage used in the construction
Of sailing vessels. '
The Senate, which at the last session threw
the Tariff over, may redeem that mistake by
acting promptly upon the present bill, of
which the increased rates cannot fail to benefit,
home iudustry. We are glad that the Finance
Committee have not accepted all the reduc
tions ot duties proposed by Commissioner
Wells, and trust tliat the more stringent pro
visions of the new bill will not be frittered
away in useless and unmeaning amendments.
The country needs now, as never before, a
taiiff which shd'l be indeed protection, to
American manufactures, and we- refer to the
statistics of revenue as proot thut the present
tarin uas women well in every case where
the duty on foretell eoods is hisrh. and that a
further increase is justitied by the results of
Xlie year.
The Impiaiher Impeached.
From the World.
Aslllev. who has nnilm-tuVon in imnenrh
President Johnson, is the same scamp whose
rascally doings were brought to Mglit in a report
suorauteu to mc xiouse ot nopresentatlves ny
.J? 1 -
one of Its c mmittees on tho 2th of February,
lRf.3. The report shows, as set forth in the
Washington Iirtmhhcan, that Mr. Abhley was
charged with "corrupt official conduct," aud
only escaped by a "llaw in the indictment."
He was accused of obtaining an office tor a
'consideration previously made," and escaped
because it was not exactly proven that the con
sideration had been "previously agreed noon."
Ashley procured the appointment of F. M.
Case as Surveyor-General ot Colorado. Among
the letters of Ashley to Case, pending his exer
tions for the appointment, is one dated February
2, lMtil, tn which he dwells on the importance
ol the ofliee, saying that it would enable a good
business man (meaning "roaue," probably)
to make a lortune of S50.000 or $100,010; and in
the siime letter he mays: "I want my brother
ns chiel clerk 1" On March 12, 1801. Ashley by
letter informs Case that he had made some pro
gress and that, "in order to secure the Indiana
dclceraMon and Senntor Lane to operate on
innth, lie had promised that tho sub appoint
ments should be made jointly, he elving them
their first choice." He asks for a letter autho
rizing him to make such a pledge. He also
sajs to Case, in his letter, that he want to
unite with him as a full partner in all land
peculations and town sites.
This is the precious rascal who has under
taken to impeach President Johnson for "cor
ruption in office I"

Irom the Herald.
As the terms of one-third of the members of
the United States Senate expire on the 4th of
March, the question who shall fill those vucan.
cies yet open .has awakened an unusual num
ber of candidates. The New York vacancy has
been settled in favor of Roscoe Conkling as the
Republican nominee. Greeley's universal Rebel
amnesty manifesto laid him out so cold that his
name was not seriously mentioned in the cnttcus
and as for Thuilow Weed, bis particular enmity
asainst Roscoe was the making of Conkling
ho that if both Crceley and Weed have benu
snubbed. Creiley is still "a lectio ahead." In
New Jersey the contest among the Republicans
who have the Legislature, Is between Mr. Kre
linghuyscD, a lawyer, the Governor's innlnf,.i
aud a Air. Cobb, a popular dry goods niau. The
lawyer seems io nave tue inside track.
Iu Pennsylvania old Ttind. Stevens and For.
ney have been completely distanced by that old
campaigner, Simon Cameron. In Illinois Sena
tor Trumbull ha "several active competitors tor
h:s place, but the chances seem to lie in lavor
ot his re-e'.cction. In Missouri a stiff contest
between Governor Fletcher ami fmir
others has been settled in favor of a prominent
laoical named Prake. who, we hope, will not
turn out a lame duck. In Kansas they have
two Senators to elect, and of course the border
men ot that f ussy radical Common jvealth are in
ahiuh state ot effervescence; aud whether this
or that radical succeeds, it is all the same.
There still remain some other Senatorial nl-.ces '
i. .,...1 ..i . . -.a . . . . .
iu uc aeiuL-.i an. online U'PUDiicaii ; DuT as it is
Pletty evident that the ' extremes radical in '
each is most likely to be the favorite, nothing i
moi e need be said of them lor tho present.
The Democrats and conservatives of Mary
laud, in securiue the Legislature, through
Forney's tolly, have a Senatorial nlum. and a
little dispute over it as to whether it should be
given to Governor Swarm or the Eastern Shore;
but Swann will probably tret it, and with all his
trouble in the lute lisruts with the old radical
lialtimore Police Commissioners and Forney he
has lairly earned it. The net result of all these
elect om will doibtloss be a radical Senate, with
a larger radical majority than at present, and
sufliciently radical to push through the imppach-
uieui ui jrresioeui jounson.
AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.
SPECIAL TARIS OORREHPOKPENCE OP TUE EVEN
ING! TELEGRAPH j
Paris, December 31.
The French journals this week have been
principally occupied in reviewing M. Fould's
report on the budget, which has been received
with extreme lavor by tho public, as it shows
an unexpected excess of receipts. The state
of affairs is so flourishing that the national
debt, at present amounting to eight hundred
and eighty-eight millions, Is to be reduced to
seven hundred millions.
The proposed plan lor the reorganization of
the army has, however, failed to meet with so
successful a reception, for public opinion is
decidedly against it. Everywhere, in all classes
of society, in the cafes, the clubs, aud the wine
shops, whenever it is spoken of, it is spoken of
in terms of the greatest dissatisfaction.
Reception of the New Amcrlcau Mlnli-
ter at the rencn Court.
On the 23d mst. Major-General Dix presented
to the Emperor his credentials as Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of tho
United States, accompanying the presentation
with an eloquent address, to which the Em
peror replied: "I thank you, General, for the
sentiments you have expressed towards me In
the name of the Government of the United
States. The historical reminiscences you call
up are a sure guarantee that no misunderstand
ing will arir.e to disturb the friendly relations
so long existing between France and the Ame
rican Union.- A loyal and sincere agreement vill,
i doubt not, prolit the industry and commerce,
iif both which daily astunisn the world by their
marvels, and will secure the progress of civili
zation. Your presence among us cannot but
contribute to this happy result by upholding
the relations to whicii I attach the utmost
value."
The Kin ire' Viait to Koine
has been at last finally abandoned, in conse
quence, it is said, not only of the great opposi
tion it n:et with from the Fren3h Government,
but iil-o of the Pope's having desired that the
visit ot her Majesty should not take place for
the ) resent.
I fear there is little to be expected from M.
Tone ilo's mission to Horn. La France quotes,
with', it contradiction, the statement of the
Opimone of Turin, that the Papal Court seems
little disposed to come to any arrangement.
Pius IX has, however, stated that he does not
intend to leave Rome.
Prize Poultry aud Cheese Show lu Paris.
A grand Christmas show of fat poultry, cheese,
and butter took place in the "Palais de l'lndus
trle,"intho Champs Klysees. The exhibitois
were from all parts ot France, and amongst
them were several noblemen. There was also
a very interesting show of utensils for the fabri
cation ot butter aud cheese; and Mr. David's
hygienic apparatus for milking cows drew much
attention. England made a very poor figure in the
show, being represents by two firms only, Mr.
Gibbons, of Bath, and Messrs. Clark & Low, of
Bristol. The exhibition was well attended, and
the Parisians are beginning to take great inte
rest in these annual displays. It is said that
the plan will be further extended next year,
so as to include every edible form of farm
produce.
A Still Tongue Makes a Wise Head.
The tribunal of Correctional Police of Bourg
(Ain) has just tried the Abbe Pernana for
having, while travelling in a public carriage,
indulged in gross and insulting language, not
only to wardH the inhabitants of the districts', but
1! A prc pitil
towards the Emperor. The couit having found
him guilty, considered that the sacred character
of his calling aggravated the offense, and sen
tenced him to pay a fine of five hundred francs
and six months' unprisoument, and, iu addition,
to pay the costs.
Fatal Accident ou the Lyons Railway
A frightful accident took place on this line
last Sunday evening. A passenger (rain from
Bclfort to Dijon came Into collision withagoods
train near the station of Franois, on the Dijon
and Besancon line. Fourteen people were
killed aud twenty injured. This terrible catas
trophe Mas caused by the forgetfulncss of the
slation-niaster, whoalIoed the i ssenger train
to leave the station before the ai rival ot the
goods train. The station-master has been takeu
into custody.
The I.nle Secret Society.
The trial of the young men complicated iu the
affair of the late secret society, and who were
arrested last month In a cafe on the Boulevard
St. Michael, will take place ou the 4th of
January. Some of the most eminent Paris bar
risters arc retained for the defense; among
others, M. Lachaud, who has lately been en
gaged in the Rbk Allah Bey, Martin Rcau, and
other exciting cases.
New Year's Day at the Tullcrleg.

Hotels Liming the Inhibition.
The Hotel du Louvre, Grand Hotel, and seve
ral other large hotels in Paris, have determined
to raise their prices during the Kxhibition fifty
per cent., and insist on people dining or paying
for their dinner.

A Fish Story. A certain Mr. Harrison, by
profession a lawyer and by taste an angler, a
short time ago went out in his boat on a fishing
excursion. Having arrived at the portion of
the lake where he kue fish were the most
abundant, the woithy gentleman baited lm
hook and cast his line. In order to while away
the time, he took out of his pocket a magniticent
gold repeater watch which he lately bought in
London, and began to examine it. While thus
occupied a fish nibbled at the bhit, and Mr.
Harrison, iu his anxiety to entrap the fish, let
fail bis watch into the lake, and lit the same tune
his line, and the ti.-h escaped. The grief of the
worthy lawyer is easily imagi.ied. However,
after bcwailinir tliolossof his watch, Mr. Har
rison rowed ashore, and was about to re-enter
his house when he met a fisherman, who offered
him for sale a splendid tish, which he hud just
caught in his net on the ake. Having bought
the fish, Mr. Harrison saw to his surprise his
fish-hook in the mon.-trr's mouth, and wh-u the
lish was opened, lo, and behold the gold
repeater was foiind in its stomach.
A Historical Souvenir The Constitutional
relates, that a certain Madame Gravis, aeeJ !i9
jears, residing at Calais, has in her possession
a mo.-t interesting relio of the uufortuuate
Queen Marie Antoinette. It consists in a
wooden spoon winch that unhappy princess
made use ol w hilst confined at the Conciergerie,
and with which sho ate her last meal before
being executed. The spoon came into the pos
session of Madame Gravis in the following
manner: This. lady was herself imprisoned at
the Conciergerie, alterwards ut the College du
Plessis, during the Reign ot Tenor. Whilst at
the latter prison, a young Savoyardess, who
was condemned to imprisonment for life, aud
who had waited on Marie Antoinette whilst at
the Cobciergerie, offered her eervices to Madame
Gravis, and whilst m her service sold her,
amongst other things, the woodeu spoon made
use of by the Queen after the authorities
bad taken dwny from her bilver forks aud
spoons. This spoon, which is of boxwood, was
bought by Madame Gravis for the small smu of
25 francs in assignats, the 22d Frumalre, an II.
The Floods Accounts from the centre and
south of France lead to appreheusions of fresh
inundations, in consequence of the continued
rains. The Loire at Orleans has risen to eleven
leet above the summer level, and nearly as much
at Moulins. The Garonne has overflowed its
banks at Lyons for the second time this year.
This disaster Is due to an extraordinary flood of
the Faru, the Lo, and other affluents. Accord
ing' to the latest accounts, the river was sti'l
rising at a rate of two inches per hour. As the
breaches made in September iu the dykes along
its banks, opposite Senessis and La Keale, have
not yet been repaired, there is no barrier to the
overflow of the waters, and the houses, which
were scarcely dry, have again been rendered
uninhabitable.
Another Sea Serpent A Toulon journal
afliims that a marine monster, ot the tribe of
berpt ins, was caught a few days ao on the
coast of Morillon, and was kept alive for twenty
four hours. This monster, says the
Journal, measured nine metres long, Jand
was in no way to be confounded with a cougar.
Its bead was like that of a viper, and its
jaws armed with crooked teeth. The color of
the serpent was of a dirty white, uud round its
eyes, which were very brilliant, were two red
colored rings. Its tail was pointed like that of
a serpent, and its whole body of a cylindrical
form, devoid of tins and scales.
