TAX SILL AND TELE 'INICOMIE The Internalllevenue bill reported by Mr: Schenck yesterday froposea . t6red, nektataiOn— nearly to the'amonnt.of thirty-fOtir million of dollars; but it continues tliellicome tax at Oa? old rate of five per cent.; .raising the exem 1 . Many of the featuree of this bill are excellent, ,and Will, give satisfaction to those persons whose 'industry is, relieved but it is certain - - -that the general public regard the appointment and disgust because of its perpet uation, of the oppressive and offensive tax on incomea:.; It shotild be a sufficient reason for the abolition of this tax, that it is demanded with remarkable 'unanimity by ;he people and the press of all parties. But 'its retention •rnat - be justified even upon the. plea o • necessity.. The net amount derived from: this source last year was • about '.eighteen- million- During the 'sane year the public debt was reduced nearly ninety=eight - Million dollars:* - Without the - "iii= tome tax' tie reduction wouldhave been ottl. nighty: Million dollars, and with this sum the people of. the cbutkry would have been well ' satisfied, -and would have believed as faithfully, " d6riOW in the: hOneStY aiid of the '.;Administration Administration. 'During the first four months pf the. present year more than twenty seven millions - of the public debt have been —ted fxtment:st and it is assert IThat — Secretary Boutwell expects to pay about fifteen millions more during the- month of May. This is very honorable and praiseworthy, and it will exalt - our credit abroad, and, to some extent, the -fame of the Atituitistration. at, home.. But it is wholly wrong that these enormous pay _ mews' should be wrung from the people against their wish, and by..means of a-cruel and itdqui --tortssyEtem of` taxation. — air Schenck - adtnits this facts : when be effects a general reduction of taxes to the amount of thirty-four.millions. But Ineteiff of cutting down taxes in nearly every other direction, and .lening the lila hateful tax untouched, the very first detion' of the Committee...should - have .been _ to. abolish this source of 'revenue altogether. This done, fftic - tteßnewle - dges - b - This - ligrires - that -- --- he - ozwthl - stilHaave - reduced-the-general-taaes-- by sixteen million dollars, with perfect safety,' and still have had enough to apply to- the ex: - _senses of the government and the - = reasonable' reduction of the debt. It is not worth while to repeat the arguments, that have been used against the_income tax. Congressmen- knowthat_the_plople_ _object to it and desire its abolition, not because it is a heavy pecuniary burden, but because of its peculiarly offensive character,and of the odious methodi provided for its collection. How these men can come before the country with this revised tax bill, in open defiance of public ..ppinion,is incomprehensible. It is their manifest dirty to regard the plainly expressed shtiMente of their constituents in the ffiptter, even if they - have to make_this reffuctionirtfiddition_te that_ made.by the bill offered yesterday. Better that Mr. Boutwelfs princely schemes for payment of the debt should be defeated altogether than that we shotildhe compelled to bear this heavy burden. We venture to say that, if Congress adjourns Without removing the tax, not even the showy debt statement published every month will prevent the infliction of a serious' blow upon the Republican party by the people at the polls next Fall. THE UNION LEAGUE The Union League has astonished the ultra fashionable world with the most brilliant social entertainment given in Philadelphia since the Revolution, so that the 4 , blue blood" of some: of our extreme aristocratic circles is disturbed with an untimely regret that it did not exert itself to procure admission to the beautiful scene. The scene, with all its splendor, lets passed away, and the Union League Rouse has come back again to its normal condition of sober, steady quietness. Now that its festivities are over, and are re membered so pleasantly by all who enjoyed them, will not the Union League take up the work which presses as an immediate duty upon it ? It is not yet too late, but it is not a . day too soon, for this powerful Organization to .deelare itself upon the important subject of the reform in °the Legislature of this State, for which the people are fully ripe, but in which they need just such concentration and direction as the Union League can best supply. Strenuous efforts will undoubtedly be made by some of the men whom it is most desirable to leave at home to retain the seats which they have so abused and disgraced ; and, un less there is au open, organized, powerful re sistance, some (if them May succeed in getting nominations; -if they do the Democrats have nothing to do but to put up decent, respectable opponents to beat them. But none of these men will obtain a renomination if prompt and proper measures are taken to prevent it. It lies ,:easily within the power of the Union Leag,ue to make such a demonstration as will satisfy these unworthy aspirants to office that they must-stand aside, and that the Republican party will not sacrifice itself or its principles merely for the sake of, feathering the nests of a few huogry—andAntherupulous office-hunters. The Republican party can far better _ afford..a defeat than a victory which woultdOve7iii an . other such Legislaffireli . thelaiii. -. • • ..:But thcre, is no necessity for any . defeat. If the Union League will call its members to gether, andtiike the proper steps to concen trate and energize -the-feeling which the re= spectable press of this city hai properly aroused on-the subject of the imperative neceb , city of Legislative reforin, the whole tone of the l'ennsilvania Legislature can be revolutionized. This is :legitimate work fJi - • the Union Leagite. In its social aapect, its doings are o f -• tittle or no significance to the community. An ~-,~`~ orvasional demonqration pia., , , , gemit hos alitics may dazzle mid delight the: iltshiou atlit world, but t, it will Isom! .surrender of the gloriiius record ails past history when it divests itself of its moral and political pityer in the Collllllttnitk, and shilis lutO a mere pri- - vate, , sdciaVelub. 7he time is very,.l;ery short. What the .Union .League does,if it is to do anythitn. ilhould_he_donainimediately; hdfore_the_nomir_ conventions meet in June. • Bold words and boaactions,now,will restore the Pennsyl vania tegislaturti to a'position of respectability, honor aud usefulness,while it will clock man) of the corrupt 'schemes which are gathering tibout many, of the other ()dices in the gift at the people. Hesitation, timidity, procrastina __tioa_will_lose_a_golden_opmrturay, and there sponsibility of the loss will fairly rest ,at the doors of the Union, League. ' MO cub PRICES. The season for traveliug„or for making a loug sojourn away from home, simply as a matter of pleasure and health, and not of busi bessils close-at-hand. Aud - -yet tbe -business point of view is the y most important from w Licit it can be retarded by all except the extremely rich, to whom a few thousands, more or less, in the season; are of little consequence. But, to the mass of the people, those of moderate or very small means, a few hundreds in a sum intr, or a dollar a head per week, must often be of considerable consequence. It is in behalf of this great Mass,that we speak when we urge that there be a reduction in the very high cbarfzes that have ruled in all our hotels; and especially iu those of the summer 'resorts ? for a number of years. Ther.e wee.a. .!!'alft. when prices' Were.highfor eVa'yilaing; and when a vast class that made - money - by - the - war was-willing -to pay - extrava ,- gantly for the luxuries as well as for the neces saries of life. The eclat of making a show and a - gensation at tbe..springs or the seaside was not dear at any pireti, in their eyes. They rather • encouragetthotetzkeepers:and all others in put - rim. , up their charges to a figure which did not a flea them, while it •appalled many who had, in Letter times, been the steady patrons of an . — nrxurious ai.ul - fashiorrable - establishments; -- But ibis class, for which the name of " Shoddy " l‘ as invented, has either been reduced in ,cir cumstances or in numbers; perhaps it has ac gnired_,wistiom and been sobered down, so as to knowlhat expenditure in living and vulgar show of finery do not make the highest happi ness in life. '----- . . At any rate, and no matte.r what may be the cause, thereis neither the — same - ability - nor - the same disposition to indulge in extravagance that there was a few years ago. As a conse quence, there will not be as many visitors as there have been in previous years to those places of summer resort where -the prices are kept up to the figures of war times, when gold was 250 - and 280, - instead of 115, as it now is. -- Tile — pricts -- oftscaTly ---- all — the -articles - used to pupply_huteLtables ,-flour and groceries especially. -- The cost of furniture, table linen and bed linen is also much reduced. Except in the single article of — batcher's meat. Whit - is - kept — dear — in some - unaccountable way, there is scarcely anything needed in keeping a hotel that cannot 44, bought now at prices ranging from twenty to fifty. per cent, lo`werth — an those of five or six years ago. But notwithstanding this, the charge at most of the good hotels, in the cities and at th, summer resorts, has been kept up to $4, $4 50 or S 5 a day, according as, ttrey were fixed in Ow war times. People do not grumble as they ought to about this, because they have got used to the extortion, arid. think.the grumbling will be useless.. But we venture to [rumble fo. them, and we .alsoLme_ntion the fact - that there is much less of travel and of sojourning at hotels than there would be if the prices were lower. This state of things will continue, and even grow worse for the hotel-keepers, if they do not adapt their tariffs to the altered circum stances of the times,-and to the growing dispo sition to economize which we are . liar to ob serve among all sensible 'people. he hotels that shall advertise that they will take visitors, for the season or by the day, at prices say twen ty-five per cent. less than those. of last year, will be sure to be the most liberally supported, and to do the most profitable business in the end. What house will lead off in this reform? ONE HAT'S NEWS TlieAmericanFress Association is beginning to get into good working order. It requires some little time to start any machinery pro perly, but the new organization for supplyinu the American public with intelligence from ali parts of the world, has met with an unexpected degree of success. A glance at our telegraphic columns of yes terday will convince the most skeptical reader that it is to the direct interest of the newspapers and of their readers to avail themselves of the opportunity now allorded to escape from the tyranny of the New• York monopoly. Cur cable newslesterday included interest ing intelligence from London, comprising an important treaty with Great Britain, the late exciting yacht race, Fenian arrests, the visit of Ring Leopold, the development of New Zea land, and other interesting matters. Then from Italy,the latest report was received of the infallibility discussion in the (Ecumenical Council, and the political disturbances. in Florence. From France, came the reconstruction ,of the Frencli r ministry, and the last phase of the recent conspiracy to assassinate the Emperor. From Greece, we learn of the preparations making for a thorough investigation, by the ,Protectorate powers, into the dreadful mas sacre by brigands. From 'Prussia, we learn that the Emperor of Russia is seeking to build up his shattered health with the waters of Ems. From Spain, the latest movements of the Ministry toward securing a King tor their vacant throne are reported, together with the still more important declaration that Spain% on the eve of a total abolition of aavery in_an her colonieS. Frorn . RuSsia, the statetnent of 'tip insurrec tion in Turkistan and the movement 'of largo bodies of Russian troops, is contradicted. Here is a. single afternoon's report of yester-: days affairs, occurring in all parts of Europe. Beside this, our readers find important news from all sections of our own country, N ew England, New York, the West, Washington, Pennsylvania, all contrlbnie.,their quotas of iii terestine and valuable intelligence.

The old delusion that the Nevi York' Associated Press and its vassals, in this city owped an exclusive right over the'news of the woild has, been thoroughly exploded ; and very few . journals are now solbepighted as, to boast of the questionable privilege of wearing the livery of, the antiquated and stilted Asspelated _Press. • The greater part of the session of Congress has been' dev,oted to:the consideration of, : the Tariff bill reported by the Committee of Ways and Means, and all . this'• consumption of thno, and labor has ,been useless. Yesterday the bill; with all its amendments, was virtually ilefested4or-this,•seSsioni-fori , undenthe-motion ,uf . Mr. Dawes, which was adopted, postponing all special orders, until the :regular appropria- Lion bills are disposed -of, the Tariff bill is laid aside indefinitely.

He and the other protectionists iu the House yielded a good many points for the 'sake of getting a bill !lamed that could be adopted. There Was a tltir prospect of having an average reduction of du ties on many articles thatwould have given great relief \ to the people. But this prospect is destroyed by hlr. Dawes' motion. So the tariff aw now- existing will remain in force for at east another year. So tar as the special inter of Pennsylvania' 'are - concerned; this - result s not to be regretted, But the country at larpe demanded and expected a reduction of =duties ort.many articles, and it is not creditable that, with a majority of members , all asking for some kind of reduction, a measure should have been carried that makes it impossible.

Mr. John L. the Collector of Delin quent Taxes, publishes in another column a notice to those persons whO are indebted to the city for over-due - taxes, requesting them to pay the amounts due, and threatening them with the penalties of the new law. The pow ers of the Collector are very large, and the du ties imposed upon him are - peremptory and will be fulfilled impartially and mercilessly. Those who do not desire to suffer distraint and sale of their property, will do wisely if they answer this appeal by flaying up promptly. The Associated Press papers have just been favored, by mail, with a copy of the " Dog matic Decree of the Council of the Vatican.' The readers of the EVENING BULLETIN had the same document laid before them on the 20th of April last, nearly a month ago ! The Adirondack Mineral Spring. In all the changes of medical theories and . . practice, mineral springs have maintained _a reputation as health resorts and for the cure of many obstinate diseases. They certainly, furnish invaluable aid in both ways; and if properly studied, they would take the place of many of the drugs of the shop with the gain on their side of present kindlier opefation and future benefit for the sick • arkd infirm. But yet, notwithstanding the unequivocal record. of the curative powers of mineral waters, they have_failed to be the subject of careful and methodiCal inquiries by the , great body 'et medical men, eitliVrinlife - period of their no• viciate, or when subsequontly'engaged in full practice.. On this account the physician is, if wo mistake not, often greatly embarrassed in selecting a mineral spring, the water of which/ is adapted to the nature and stage of the dis ease of his patient. Under the belief which we entertain, that every mineral water, shown to possess medi cinal properties, is a positive and available addition to our existing means of cure, we would direct attention just now to one of re cent discovery; as we find it described in dlf ' ferent medical journals. It is called the Adirondack -Mineral Spring," and is situa tecYinrtheyiliugo Of Whitoliall; - iii - tlie :north trn part of the state of New YOrk, and at the'ltead of Lake Champlain. It flows from, thebase of a spur of the Adirondack 'Moun tains, and hence its name. This water, 'only discovered - in - the - latter part ofthe year 18118, has already been used to such an extent, and with hsuch results as to 'justify a belief in its decidedly remedial value. An analysis, by Professor Colyer, of the UniVersity of Bur:- rigt on, Vermont ; shows it to contain iron in, unusually large proportion, in - the — titate of a carbonate, together with, carbonates of soda, ..potash, lime, magnesia, and, in minute gnarl .

Excitement Among the Spaniards— Large quautities of Ammunition on Itottrd. Yoaa, May 17.—There was a tremeu- . .41onii sensation in the Spanish Con.sulate terday. Telegfarris were sent to Havana. The utmost excitement prevails. The'cause of this is that a Cuban privateer gat away under their very noses nmuspeeted, and will soon be playing havoc with Spanish commerce. It was fitted out, as far as the hull and ma chinery was concerned,iby Pennon, but the war,materials were 41.4. A-hied by% other per sons, so as not to violate the . neutrality laws . ; The -vessel was ready forsea last week. but it was deemed advisable to send, her to Eliza bethport to obtain coal. She returned to this city and cleared for Port-au-Prince with some cargo, but quite a teouSiderable prisseri ger list. • • • On Saturday she steamed downithe hay, no one suspecting the nature of her mission. The night waspassed . well off shore in neutral- • Waters; and-on Sunday a schooner- went along side and put on beard the remainder of her officers and crew and war materials. The vessel was at this time about ten miles north of Barnegat, and over three miles from shore.. Previous to the schoonerLgOing alongside, the steamer had been sold to the Cuban Gov ernment, and.the parties who had started with he to Port-an-Prince transferred her over to her new owners. fremense quantities of poWder, shell and fixed ammunition were soon transferred -to the steamer, and in a few hours she started ou her mission, with the Cuban flag at the peak and-pennant at-the main. -A-full-complement of Officers and over two hundred fighting men, a large proportion of whom were real Cubans, were on board the steamer. , The name of the steamer , is George B: 'Upton, and was built by Donald. McKay, at East Boston, iur 1866. She has recently been overhauled, coppered and strengthened so as to Ht her to carry a heavy battery. She is a screw, and steams fast for a vessel of her class. She was formerly brig-rigged, but has been altered, and is now bark-rigged and beavily Sparred so as to spread every inch of• canvass her hull will bear. • After she has performed one service she will cruise under sail, reserving her coal in the event of being chased on entering or leav ing port. The fitting-out, and sending to sea, ' and all the details of the equipments of the Upton, were managed vvithThkill and ,abtlity: — - Telegrams were sent to Havana, and Span ish war vessels will at once be sent out to cap ture the Upton, if possible.
