agreed upon the income tax. In the tax
bill thm_tax will \be reduced to three per
cent., and the etcruntion to two thousand

till 18:1. In the House - there will be a
severe contest ort , the point, as there is a
firm determination on the part of a very
large number, perhaps a majority, that
the reduction shall commence immedi

that the tax will be abolished.

Tax PLEZISCITUM, which is to ask from
France an approval by popular vote of
Napoleon's new scheme of reforni, is ex
peeled to take place in May. The points
presented by the Senatus Conan Hum
which the people will be invited to ap.
prove are--fizet, that the Senate shall
Ware legislative power with the Corps and
the Emperor, but cannot initiate taxation;
second, that the constitution-making
power given to the Senate Is taken from
It; third, the Constitution can only be
modified by the people on propositions of
the Emperor. We fail to see In these
provisions, or in any part of the Seriatim
Consultuto, of which they constitute the
vital portions, an express provision for
trusting the Corps Lrgislatiff with any
additional legislative and constituent
Dower. It Is to be supposed that-the
Emperor will offer reforms to the Consti
tution on motion of his legislature elected
by the people, but this is not certain. - let
the present moment, the question in
France Is whether the new reforms shall
be debated by both the French Chambers

People.- Napoleon has not yet answered
this, though the Plebiscitum seems to be
quite resolved upon.

bringing little Poroy with her, husband
and wife were very affectionate towards
each other, calling each other "my deer"

chair, then start up and walk about,
crying and saying aloud "I loved my
wife, and Oh God, they have taken her
away!" Witness tried to calm him, but
was unable; told McFarland he would
get sick if he continued In this way. I
i thought he was hardly rational. I had
two or three such conversations with him;
on 01:111 occasion McFarland said of would
rather be in my grave than not have
my children:" Heretic! when he thought
of his children having some other father
beside him, he could not endure It, and
it made him wild. In Ju1y,1867, be was

he said it was that way for three or four

deal of his head; there was water In my
office, and he always washed his head
with it when he came to see use. He
said he did not want to sleep and could
not sleep. When be got Percy back

He (witness) coneldered the prisoner

He considered Richardson the cause of I

that ho could not sleep, that his brain

said to him Mrs. McFarland would never

McFarland had a wild look In his eye ;
his hands were working.and he appeared
very much excited. The prisoner was

removed for his inability to discharge
his duties. While to the office the
prisoner bad • habit of talking to his

himself muttering indistinffily. Often
I met McFarland in the street after the

at Snit performed' his duties well, but
afterwards he did so badly that it was
said he would have to vacate.
Witnees was asked whether he had not
been a witness for McFarland on the
habeas corpus commis:Soo, and whether
he had not testified the prisoner was an
induetrions man, well qualified to take
care of his children. The question was
objected to unless the deposition made
by witness on the occasion in question
was first produced. After a long argu
ment between Mutual, His Honor re
served his decision as to the admissibil

Mr. Charles S. Spencer at this point
stated be bad that learned the trial of

morning of the day of the occurrence
between twelve and one o'clock; prisoner
accosted him, and throwing up his arms
said, "O'Brien, did you hear the news;
that ruffian Richardson ha. married my
wife and taken her and my children
away; he has even changed the name of
my dear boy Danny."' He appeared
quite distracted; prisoner was in. the
habit of walking on. his beat; he never
talked on any subject but his wrongs and
his family. Witness tried to get him
off that subject, as he felt for him, but
his efforte.were ineffectual. McFarland
often threatened to kill himself. Wit
ness said to him, "Mac, if I was you I
would - not bother with that woman,"
and he replied, "Oh, O'Brien, you don't
know how I have suffered." On one
oceaalon McFarland told him he had
been offered ten thousand dollars and a
consulate to give up his wife, and he
(witnefs) said, "Mac, you are a fool ; I'd
give up such • woman for ten thousand
cents;' nut the prisoner replied, "I
would not give up my children for a
consulship to the Court of Heaven."
Witness was crosa-examined by the
District Attorney, but no new facts were
elicited. At the - conclusion of his testi

his views as to the propriety of fitting
out an expedition to the Arctic regions at
