PuBois Rep., Id ' was laid be
fore the senate and discussed until
the close of the cioriiintc hour, when it
went over till Monday. While under
discnssiou it was modified, on Mr
Stewart's motion, by adding these
words, "and that there is BO present
newssitv f r the sale of bonds for the
purpose" specified in the resumption
act.'' Some very plain words wer
spoken by Mr. Teller vRP . OoL.) in
condemnation of the dominant party
for not bavin brnunt forward some
definite system of finance to meet the
growing deficiency in tne treasury.
Everybody knew, be said, that no more
6 percent bonds on a i per cent, basis
BBVM be sold, and that an attempt to
issue 180.000.000 of soon bond would
be a failure.

The greater pirtof tne day in the

After spending nearly four honrs in
fruitless endeavor, a quorum was se
cured at 3.4. with the speakers vote,
and the house went into committee of

n view of tbeea constltntlonal pro
visions an inquiry has arisen us to the
power of congress to make an Income
tax applioabla to these high offloera of
the governmnt,
Feb. 16 IStlJ. Chief Justice Taney of
the supreme court wrote a eareiullv
prepared lettor to Secretary Chase
relative to the inc une war tax. This
letter is on ttle among the records of
the clerk's off! OS of the supreme court
The chief justice called attention to
the clause of the constitution referred
to and said of the income tux:
"The act In qnsatlon, as you inter
pret it, dlminisusa the compeoaatloq of
every judge 3 per cent au i H it eau
be diminished to that extent by the
name of a tax, it may in tne aame wikV
be reduced from time to time at tne
pleasure of the legislature The judic
iary is one of the three great depart
luente of the government created aud es
tablished by the constitution Its du
ties and powers are specifically set
forth, and are a character that re
quires it to be perfectly independent of
the two other departmeuts. In ordur
to place it beyond the reach and above
eveu the suspicion of anv such inrlu
euce, the power to reduco their com
pensation is expre-islv withheld from
congress and excepted from their
Dowers of legislation Bee Upon these
grounds 1 regard an act of con
gress retaining iu the treasury a nor
lion of the compensation of the judges
as unconstitutional and void; and I
should not have troubled you with this
letter if there wan any mode by which
the question could bo decided in a ju
dicial proceeding. But all of the
judges of the courts of the United
S:ates have an interest in the question
and conld not, therefore, uudertuke to
decide it."
Chief Justice Taney's letter seems to
have had its eff-et. for after the war.
when Hon William A. Richardson!
now chief justiceof the court of claim.,
was the secretary of the treasury, there
was refunded the money Wutoh had
been withheld from the salarinsof the
judieiary uuder the income tax act.
