A MopiricatTion OF THE INTERNAL Rev- Tux OxprAvos COMMITTEE was reinforced to-day by the presence of Senator Drake. The members of the committee now here are Sen- Stors Drake and Representatives Schenck and Logan. Gen. Dyer, Onief of Ordnance in th> War Department, was before the committee, ERUB System NE®EDED—The special Com. | 4nd was examined concerning the «Dyer pro- missioner of Internal Rev David | jectile,” about the invention of which there i, D. Welle, will present to Congress at the De- | Some dispute. A man named Thomas Taylor cember session auother of his interesting and valuable reports on the Inter: Revenue sys- tem of the United States as compared with those of Europe. 1t will yw, doubtless, that he is ot the opinion that immediate and radical Tetorm is needed in the country before the Government can successfally ccliect the Tevenue. The temptation to frand in portions of our eyetem is so great that nearly all of the Fevenue from certain sources is lost, while the effect of this wholesale swindling on public morals and the principles of free governmen cannct be too seriously considered. Kevenue officersin Great Britain ha nothing todo ‘with politics, but are appointed for their abili- ‘ty and integrity, and continue in office during g00d behavior. The result is that t Tevenue is fully collected, and the tra apy, are fastened on the tax-payer. The sim- Plification ot our system in the namber of articles taxed, will probably be urged, and the radical innovation of placing the tax on the product in its raw instead of manufactured state, hke cotton for tnstance, beexposed to the country, @nd its injarious effect on the indus- trial interests clearly established. Mz. asp Mrs. Senator SumNER.—The goseipers have had it all their own way for some weeks past relative to these distinguished Personages, and whatever truth there may bave been in their stories, 1t is dne te all to y that Mrs. Sumner ie about to return from Evrope, and, if her health permits, to join the Senator in Washington in presiding over his new and magnificent mansion on Lafayette Square—which, contrary to common report, has not been disposed of. Mr. Suamner is at present in the West delivering his lecture, “Are we a Nation;” but will arrive in Wash- ington week after next, SeNaTOR WabE aD MRs. LINcoLN.—It seems that Senator Wade, of Ohio, was on a committee of the two Houses appointed to in- vestigate the pecuniary condition in which President Lincoln’s tamily was left, and re. porta bill, if necessary, for their relief. In conversation during the present week, Mr. Wade emphatically contradicted the state- ment of Mrs. Lincoln that Mr. Lincoln bad left little or no property behind him. «We looked into the matter,” eays Senator Wade, “very carefully. The! Ninois men wanted us to give her one hundred thousand dollars, and we agreed to doso, if it appeared that she really needed it. We sent for the administra- tor of the estate, and he testified that Mr. Lin. coin left seventy-five thousand dollars in Government bonds, or something Jie that, b»- sides some litcie productive proper'y in Spring- field, 111..—'p all, about one hundred thousand dollars. We thought, then, that twenty-five thousand dollars would be enough—the same as was paid tothe widow of Gen. Harrison. Mrs. Lincoin was very well off, and didn't need, eyen, What $Be got She took a hun. red boxes of something or other—I don't know what—away with her, and the Commissioner ot Public Bulidings swore there were fiftaen cther boxes that ste wanted to carry off, ana he bed to interfere to prevent her.

I don't know but she was going to run a big hole with all eRe carried oif.” THE WAsHINGTON SEASON.—Afier an au- tomnal season of varied heat and cold, November G8ys open with a crispy, frosty air that meilows the leaves in the =treetsand pno- Ke grounds, and gives an inspiriting hue to tue fashionable colors of the avenue promenad» heraiding even, wiih resplendent effect, the coming Washington season.

THE DispaNDMERT QuESTION.—It is un. derstood that a new phase of the question concerning the order disbanding and sup- pressing unauthorized armed organizations in the District, hascome up. Under the word- ing of the erder it would seem to embrace all societies or organizations in possession of arms, and it is said that Gen. Emory, if finally rected to carry it ont, will disband aii com- panies in the District bearing arms, such as the Schuetzen fest, Fenian circles, &c., &c. A pisrarch from Lancaster states that Hoo.
