Tho rvsolutions jsismhl by t'ongr.
in lfkfi, eensurinf Simon t'amoron, wa re
rowinndtsl on 2nd inst. These resolu
tions were {wsnl by a mdtcal t'ongres-s
whendameron was Lincoln's Sa retary

\Vinnoluigo was jn-rmitted to r. sign, hut
t > lot him down easy, old \be -n-nt him
as minister to Uussia. Tho rescinding
rosolntiotis passed unanimously.
The Hon. S. S. Cox, in his speech on
the tax and tariff bill, drew a striking
picture of the enormous taxation with
which the country is burdened :
It is well authenticated that in the
jxist ton yaars we'have paid in taxes
$7,000,000,000; three-fifths of this to the
federal and two-fifths to the state and
municipal governments. It Uascertain
ed that this sum is nearly one-halfot the
total assessed wealth of the country in
1870. The yearly average of this taxu
tkm for the jiast dectdc, is $7.000, i*.>0 —
five per cent, of the whole taxable valu
ation. When you remember the rate of
interest which the widow or the orphan
and the savings bank dcjKi-itor receive
for their investments this five jwr cent,
a year is crush ingly enormous. In eve
ry twenty years, as Governor Tilden has
said, there is assessed for taxation a sum
equal to all the assessed wealth of the
country; so that within twenty years,
under lud administration, we consume
the cost of governing it. I* this not the
true text of our adversity, and the sure
key to our panics ? It matters not that
some grow rich while people grow JHKT.
A nation is not made rich by the trans
fer of property—one class to another —
the one accumulating, the other paying
out; this is not general wealth. When
we reflect that this all-devouring taxa
tion eats out the whole substance of the
people every twenty years it hardly lie
comes gentlemen to talk about slavery
or incivility among races, or disabilities
among men. Do not such attempts to
tax beget pillage and speculation? He
sides, the largest amount of this tax goes
to feed a temporary cormorant like the
federal administration, and that oduiin-
istration thus swells its pride and power
And what is this federal government, as
it was first established—not as now ad
ministered —that it should übsorb more
tluui twice as much as all our state gov
ernments and municipalities ?
Rumors in regard to coming changes
in tlx- Cabinet continue to circulate free
ly, and there is the best authority for
saying that both Mr. Bristow and Mr.
Jewell have decided that in a certain
very possible contingency, they will re
sign their positions. There is nothing
in the atTairsoftheir&(iecialde|>artii>eut
tliat leads them to desire an early retire
ment, but it is said by the friends of lx>th
gentlemen that they will not consent to
identify themselves with the Adminis
tration for a single day if Grant ventures
upon any further flagitious measure* in
the south. Thus, should the President
undertake to overturn the present Gov
ernor in Arkansas, a* his message to the
Senate lately threatened, there will cer
tainly be two vacancies in the cabinet.
Mr. Jewell has given the President to
understand what his feelings are upon
the question, and if Grant ventures on
any high-minded measure* hereafter he
will do so with the full understanding
tiiatit involves a reconstruction of the
< 'abinet.
Grant's little tariff bill, which we pub
lished in last week's Reporter, has been
kicked from all sides like a worthless
cur. The World in a lengthy article up
on the bill alludes to the whiskey clause
as follows:
The obligation of the whiskey jieople
to these gentlemen is easy to be seen.
There are about 30,000,000 gallons of
whiskey and spirits in the hands of
manufacturers and wholesale liquor
dealers. Under the Tax bill, as it has
finally passed both Houses of Congress,
this liquor, as well as that now in bond,
pays no tax except the old tax of 70 cents
a gallon. But all liquor manufactured
on or after to-day must pay the new tax
of 90 cents a gallon—2o cents a gallon
more than that already in bond or in the
hands of manufacturers and dealers.
Thus the 30,000,000 gallons already on
hand have been increased in aggregate
price just $6,000,000, und every cent of
this money goes into the pocket* of
the whiskey people, not one cent ofit in
to the Treasury. A measure at once
more imbecile and corrupt lias never
passed through Congress. The only tol
erable thing about the proposed tax on
whiskey, as it first came from tlve Ways
and Merns Committee, was the addition
al tax of 15 cents a gallon on liquor in
bond or iu the hands of manufacturers
and dealers, whereby the Treasury
would have gained some immediate re
lief, and the price of whiskey on hand
and whiskey to lie produced after to-day
would have been in some degree fairly
equalized. It would have given the
Treasury two or three million of dollars
immediately. But this was exactly
What the whiskey ring fought to prevent
and succeeded in preventing. Both Mr.
Dawes and Kasson strenuously helped
the ring to fight its battle in the House,
and whatever may have been their mo
tives in so doing, there can be 110 deny
ing the fact that they have conferred a
much larger benefit upon the ring than
upon the Treasury. Leaving the whis
key ring's axe, now nicely ground, out
of the discussion, the tax of 90 cent* a
gollon on whiskey is much too high to 1
be easily collected. Tlie recent tax of
70 cents a gallon was too high for the <
purpose of revenue, and the more ex- J
tremfe the tax the bolder and more sue-1 <

A LARGE APPROPRIA TIOX
r Washington, February 24. —The extra
. ordinary appropriation of $3,000,00u in
i the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, to
be expended under the department of
of Justice, led to a long and exciting de
bate in the House to-day, during which
Messrs. Wood, Speer, Randall, Cox and
others on tlie Democratic side show ed
most conclusively that most f it wan
simply avast fund in the bauds of the
Administration to be used for partisan)
puqjoses in carrying elections under
color of the Enforcement act of 1671, and
all acts in existence supplemental there
to, and which may be passed hereafter.
Testimony from the Alabama Commit
tee's report was read, showing that Fed
eral supervisors of election, under the
guise of deputy marslials, were indis
criminately paid out of this fund, and
were armed in one instance with 300
warrants, issued by the Republican
State Committee, to arrest and imprison
whoever they saw tit. In North Caroli
na and western Arkansas, it was stated
that under the pretence of other judi
cial expenses the fund was literally
plundezed.
Incidentally to this debate the fact
came out that the Government bacon
and other rations Kent by act ofCongress
to the overflowed sufferers on the Ala- l
baina River were carted seventy-five
miles from the scene of suffering and '
dealt out from churches the day before ]
election to negroes who voted the Re- '
publican ticket for Congressmen. This t
fact excites the ire of the Alabama tar- ;
pet-baggers ami scalawags to a white '
heat, and the House in Committee of the '
Whole became the scene of one of the 1
most uproarious und disorderly tumults |
of the season. The attempt made to erv '
down Mr. Luttrell, of California, who '
made ami sustained this and kindred 1
charges, utterly failed About all the t

LAWS RELATING TO INSANE PER
SONS
At the pre-'-nt time there is unusual in
terest manifested in this Stalo in reference
to tlie safe-keeping, treatment nnd gener
al care of insane person*.—Three Statu in
stitution* have been provided for their
accommodation—one, the Western Penn
sylvania Hospital (or the insane ; another.
the Slate In.ano Hospital at Danville, and
a third, the State Insane Hospital nt War
ren. In addition to these there are nu
merous private hospitals for the treatment
of demented patients, where they are at
tended to by physicians skillful in man
aging this most deplorable menial disor
der. Besides these manifestations of ci.re
and attention to in ane men and women,
each county in the State takes cure of it
own insane poor in almshouses, and thus
this class of hopeless individuals are pro |
vided tor in the Slate of Pennsylvania.
From lime to time laws have been plac .
