The Tax bill is to be ready for reporting to-day. It will reduce taxation at least thirty five millions. Fifty thousand dollars are asked by the Superintendent of Coast Survey for the sur vey of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. General Butler was again met by Brooks, the objector, when he essayed last evening to introduce his San Domingo resolution in the House. In the House yesterday, after the close of our report, the Northern Pacifio Railroad bill was taken np, and on the question whether it should be read a third time, the yeas were 77 and the nays 92. The bill was finally referred to the Committee on the Pacific Railroad, with amendments offered by twenty-three of the members.

Foreign Alfulra. Queen Victoria opened the new building of the London University yesterday. Uy the French opposition press the plebkcitvm vote is regarded as without social, political or religions significance. The outbreaks in Paris would appear to have been more serious than at first reported. Many lives were lost in their suppression. Paris is in such a state of ferment that the presence of immense bodies of police and troops is necessary to maintain even a sem blance of order. A desperate revolt was made, on Tues day, by the convicts in the French prison La Koquette. One keeper was killed and two wounded before it was suppressed. TIIE LEAGUE. A Grand AUalr. Last evening the members of the Union League gave a full dress reception at their building on Broad street. For the oooasion the spacious garden in the rear of the hall was transformed into a ball room, giving an apartment 180 feet by 100, enclosed by can vas, and so thoroughly decorated witn nags and bunting that even the tent appearance was disguised, and nothing remained but a mag nificent room, brilliantly lighted by several hundred cas jets. A full orchestra stationed in the west end of this room discoursed the musio The building of the League was used as reception, dressing, and banqueting rooms, and here tha mnKt lavish outlay and crood tabte were exhibited.

Dietrich. TIte MoaMte Ntone. The following narrative of the original dis covery of the Moabite Stone we take from an English paper. The writer, Mr. Keim, is a Prussian clergyman, who has been for many years a missionary at Jerusalem: It was on the 19th of August, 18G8, that in the course of a journey I undertook to Jebl Ajloon and the Belka, I arrived at Diban (ancient Dibon), about one hour to the north of the Wadi Mojeb (Arnon). For the sake of my friend and protector Zattam, the son of the famous Fendi-l-Faiz, Scheich of the Beni Sachr, who accompanied me, I was re ceived in a most friendly way by a tribe of the Beni-Hamide, encamped near Diban. Carpets and cushions were spread in the tent of the Scheich, and coffee prepared with all the ceremonial of Bedouin etiquette. Before the operation of preparing and drinking coffee had been terminated, my friend Zattam, who was always most anxious to make my tour as pleasant and interesting as possible, had informed me that there was among the ruins of Diban, scarcely ten minutes from our encampment, a most in teresting 6tone with an ancient inscription on it which no one had ever been able to deci pher, which he would take me to see. As sunset was drawing near I was anxious to be off at once, but Zattam was not to be per suaded to get up from his soft coach and leave off smoking his narghilce; while I was burning with a desire to see the inscription, which the Scheich of the Beni-Hamide also described to me as one of the wonders of this region, which no Frank had yet seen, and which he now had offered to show me as a work of honor to his friend Zattam and to me who was travelling under his protection. I, of course, took this for what it was in general meant to be a Bedouin compliment calcu lated to bring out a nice bakshish. Still I afterwards ascertained that his assertion as to no European having before me seen the stone was perfectly true; none of the distinguished travellers in those parts had ever seen or heard of it, or they would not have shunned trouble and expense to secure this treasure. I am sorry to find 1 was also the last Euro pean who had the privilege of seeing this monument of Hebrew antiquity in its perfect state of preservation; and it is for this reason I think the few observations I am able to offer on the subject may be welcome to those who take an interest in this important discovery. When I came to the spot where this precious relic of antiquity was lying on the ground I M as delighted at the Bight, and at the same time greatly vexed that I did not come earlier, in order to have an opportunity of copying at least a good part of the inscription, which I might then, under the protection of Zattam, have done without the least molestation. I, however, bad time enough to examine the stone and its inscription at leisure, and to copy a few words from several lines at ran dom, chiefly with a view, on my return to JeruFalem, to ascertain the language of the inscription, and prevail on some friends of science to obtain either a complete copy of the nscription, or, better, the monument itself. The stone was lying among the ruins of Diban perfectly free and exposed to view, the inscription uppermost. I got four men to turn it around (it was a basaltic stone, ex ceedingly heavy) in order to ascertain whether there was no inscription on the other Bide, and found that it was perfectly smooth and without any inscription or other marks. What time was left me before sunset I now em ployed in examining, measuring, and making a correct sketch of the stone, besides endea voring to collect a perfect alphabet from the inscription. What I have I now enclose, and vouch for the perfect correctness of what I give, having taken it down on the spot. The i tone is rounded on ootti Bides, not only at the upper end, as mentioned by Monsieur Gan neau, who Bays: "La forme de la stele etait celle d'un cane long, termine en haut par une partie arrondie, l'angle inferieur de droite etait deja casse depuisfort longtemps." From his sketch also of the stone he admits it not to have been rounded, but square at the bottom; but the fact of this being so can not but be of importance to him, as it will give him the comfortable assurance that in the lower corner sides there are not as many words of the inscription missing as would be the case if it were square at the bottom, as be was wrongly informed by his authority; for, as in the upper part so also in the lower, in exactly the same way, the lines become smaller by degrees. Possibly in the length of the several lines there may be more letters to supply, as now supposed, as in this respect the information received by M. Ganneau is not quite correct. He says of the stone: "D'apres lesestampages elle aurait eu i metre de hauteur et WOO centimetres de largeur aveo une epasseur egaie. According to my correct measurement on the soot, the stone had 1 metre 13 centimetres in height, " 70 centimetres in breadth, and 35 centimetres in thickness, and. according to my calculation, had thirty four lines; for the two or three upper lines were verv mech obliterated. The stone itself was in a vwt perfect state of preservation not one sin el piece being broken on, and it was only from great age ana exposure to ine rain and sun that certain parts, especially the w . . upper and lower lines, had somewhat sua ered, On my return to Jerusalem l showed my tketrh and Darts of the inscription to Dr, Petermann, of Berlin, who I knew took great interest in archaeological researches, and he was delicbted at the information, and lmuie diately took the necessary steps to aoquire the Moabite monument lor the lierun mu team. A young cl iver Arab at Salt was en trusted with the business of transacting the matter with the Bedouins at Diban, but the difficulties he met and the greediness of the Arabs put an insuperable obstacle in his way. The services of another native were subse quently engaged, but also without success. The matter, being thus neoesnarily entrusted to the hands of natives, of course then ceased to be a secret, and other parties also heard of it and exerted themselves with laudable zeal and energy to obtain, if not the stone itself, at least a copy of it; and one cannot too highly praise the real, energy, and tact of M. Ganneau and Captain Warren, who have through their exertions preserved to the learned world parts at least of this most valuable monument of Hebrew anti quity, and who I sincerely trust will ulti mately succeed in obtaining and deciphering the whole inscription. Scheich Zattam has sinoe informed me that he had in his possession a small idol made of brass with similar characters upon it, which I have, however, lately been informal was sent to Nablous, and sold there. Whether this is true or not I know not. But most assuredly a scientific expedition to Moab is a great desideratum, and could not but greatly enrich our knowledge of. Hebrew archmology. I have to add that among the letters I I copied from the Moabite inscription I see several letters which are not found in the parts published by M. Ganneau and Captain Warren. Probably these letters are of rare occurrence, and found on pieces not secured. I have not thought it necessary to give yon my entire alphabet, but only those letters I missed in the inscription published by the gentlemen referred to. F. A. Klein. Jerusalem, March 23, 1870.
