IRESSIONAL.---In the House of Rep•
Ives, on Monday, Mr. 'Schenck re•
Ire new 'lnternal Revenue bill, It
to taxes off nearly everything except,
liquors, distilled spirits, tobacco,
id stamps and incomes. The tax on
:eept on liquor dealers, is abolished,
the tax on legacies and successions,
tceipts from 'railroads, corporation,
the tax on the receipts of theatres
ries is retained. The income tax is
five per cent., with an exemption of
but all the inquisitorial features of
aro abolished. The tax on gas,
carriages, watches, &u., is done away
A. tax of three per cent. per annum
led on all public moneys deposited in
honks. The amount reduced is about 533,-
0,00,0.00. The bill was recommitted, with
permiSsion to be brought at any time before
the Hollse For its consideration. The Tariff
bill was poittponed until the Appropriation
bills have been disposed of, which virtually
kills it for this session. , Mr. Bingham's WO
to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment was
passed by a party vote.
fir l a.Acpreseat there are thirty-two cir
cuses and menageries in the. United States.
Of this number, ten are oirousea and menag
eries combined, three menageries without the
circus and nineteen circuses withou.t menag
eries. The establishments give direct, em
ployment to over seven thousand men—and
horses, requiring nine hundred vehicles for
their transportation, and represe. ..g a capi
tal of two million dollars. Some idea may
be formed of the enormous expenses of these
concerns when it is known that over five
thousand dollars alone are spent annuaßy,
for pictorial, newspaper and-other--printing.-
The receipts of each company average about
eight hundred and fifty dollars per day,
while their expenditures amount to seven
hundred. From this it is readily seen that
for the amount of money invested the gains
are not large, proving the old adage "that
all is not gold that glitters."
RESULTS OF VEER LABOR.—It now ap
pears that the sugar and rice orops of Jiou
isiana were much larger last year than hith
erto reported. In the twenty-seven parish
es in the State 87,090 hogsheads of sugar
were raised, or nearly three thousand more
than in 1868. The rice ore. last •si: , -
the largest ever raised in the State, amount
ing to considerably over.one hundred thou.
sand, barrels. With such signal results, so
immediately following the overthrow of sla ,
vory, our Southern countrymen are able to
form some idea of the great benefits which
will accrue to them when the tree labor sys•
tern has been fully established. Never was
a truer remark than that made by Henry A.
Wise, not long eince, that slavery had been
the bane and curse of the Southern States.

THE MORMON CHILDREN.-AD exchange
says it is now believed by those engaged in
Congress upon the Utah bill that the sum
mary abolition of polygamy and the conse
quent breaking up of all the state of_society
founded upon that horrible institution would
cease much sufering to . "innoeent parties."
The innocent parties are the children rust,
and next, no doubt, the wives that will be
left .without support or social position when
every man is restricted to a single spouse.—
It would be strange if consideration for the
innocent victims of polygamy should prolong
its life. Congress must not be over nice hero
with the men it finds in a flagrant wrong.—
It must provide for the support of 'these wo
men and these children by devoting to., that
special purpose so much of the property of
the Saints as may bo necessary. The whole
Mormon society. and capital is before the
world responsible for the support of. these
widows and orphans.
MURDER, IN CIIAIILESTOWN.—From Char ,
lesion we have a partial account of an atro
cious murder committed in that place on
Monday atternoon last. It appears that a
young white man oanind Vanvaoter dropped
the sheath, of a bowie knife, which was
p!eked up and handed him by,a colored man,
whose name we could not learn. ,Vanvacter.
on receiving the sheath, indulged in some
very abusive language, and upon the negro
protesting that he bad done nothing, V.
plunged the blade of the knife into the
negroo's neck, causing his instant death. A
large crowd of (mimed people immediately
started in pursuit of the murderer, with
threats of lynching, but he took refuge in a
store on Main street, where he was arrested
by Sheriff Porterfield. An examination of
the accused was had before a magistrates
I court, and he was committed for a further
hearing. Our informant represents the ex
citement as very great, and the feeling
against Vativaoter strong. For the credit
of the community, we hope the majesty of
the law will be vindicated -- Twice a Week.

man he's got it. The unacquainted ask,
bow did be make it I there is the rub,
how to make money like the rich man. The
rich man has learned that it ill not what he
makes that enriches him, but that which he
saves. It is just so, when a man spends
more than he makes he is a candidate for
bankruptcy and his election is certain, but if
he spends less than he makes he is the rich
man of the future, he knows a penpy saved
is two pence earned, and with very few ex•
captions you find him buying his flats from

where to buy to'save the pennys while the

offices be had the eonSdence and , approval of
his fellow members. From some of which
he was bat released at his death.
The piety of Mr. B. was of that type, that
commended itself to all. No one could ques-

Mr. B was one of the founders of the M.

years its continued Superintendent. Latter—

relation of a Teacher. And it is said of him,
he never was absent from his post but two
or three times and then distant, and a,few
months during a severe apeli of sickness.
The School on last Sabbath held Memorial
services, at which a number of persona made
addresses, appreciative of the memory of the
deceased. The school room was and is yet
draped in deep mourning.
Mr. B. was at the timo of his death, au
acting Justice of the Peace, being re-eleoted
to the osition at the Ink election.— •.
