He said the Sen- ator from ee Pomeroy) seemed to imagine that he had a monopoly in these peti- tions, but he (Mr. © ) was gratt! that he had got hold of one. If intelligence is to be the test of the privilege, this movement was entutled to consideration, for the women had certainly displayed intelligence in their advocacy of it. ‘The Senator from Kansas presented these me- morals with a great deal of coldness and for- mality. He (Mr. U.) hoped the flagging en-r- gies of the male ad vocates of this movement, of which he was not one, would be kept up to the mark. Mr. Drake, from{ the Cemmittee on the Pa- cific Railroad, reported a resolation declaring against the further granting of subsidies to railroads, other than those now existing, and asked for its present consideration, to which Mr. Edmunds objected. Mr. Stewart introduced a pill relative to the refining of gold and silver. Mr. Frelinghoysen, in reply to the remarks ot Mr. Morton on the New Jersey and Mary- jand capitation tax, said he did not speak in the interest of the Camden and Amboy railroad. He was under no obligations to that road, and it was under none to him. He did not doubt that the Camden and Amboy would be glad to © Congress relieve them of this tax. The ‘bill was really in the interest of that road, and against the interest of the Stateof New Jersey. The Senator trom Uhio (Mr. Sherman) had alsoanimadverted on New Jersey. Que would suppose that New Jersey stood at the gate of the great metropolitan city of the contine! structing the highway, and when she allow: the rusty gate to turn on its hinges, that she levied onerous toll on the way-worn travelers. He would show that the very opposite of this was the case. New Jersey ‘always been true to the Umion, trom the dark days of ue revolution down. In the rebellion she was the first to place ti on Pennsylvania ayenue for the defence of Washington. It requires no great burry to build railroads now, but at one tmeitdid. New Jersey was the first State of this Union to build railroads. The Camden and Amboy railroad was projected ten year before any other in New York. There was a railroad im every county in New Jersey, and the average value of each one of that State was greater than in any other State of the Union. be Senator from Indiana (Morton) was mistaken in saying that New Jersey got the greater part of her living from this tax on tue People of other States. Indiana was the tifth Siate in population snd New Jersey the six- teenth, yet New Jersey had in i-t6 paid four millions more of internal revenue than Indians. snd in 1-67 three millions more. And was ii true that there was only one railroad acrozs New Jersey to New York? No, there were seven railroads, stretcung across New Jersey in every direction, and connecting with New York there was the Delaware and Raritan Canal, one of the noblest works in the country. New Jersey was not exactly sur- rounded by # Chinese wall, as the Senator sought to convey. In regard toa tax ou sengrrs, no lawyer would contradict the propo sition of the Senator, (Mr. Morton.) that an such tax by a State would be uncoustitational. But is this tax, as levied by New Jersey, ax on travel. It will be conceded that a bas the right to tnx the property of 2 rail- within its limits. There are various road Modes of taxation, and the most just is that which taxes the business of the railroad. This is HOLA AX On passengers and freight, but 4 tax on the business of the railroad relative to passengers and freight; of course in the end the consumer has to pay it, aud does not the co sumer have to pay the tax ou everything. This tax the Senator says is added to the fa: he (Mr. F.) begged bis friends pardon, the rati- road bad no right to add this tax to the fare any more than it bad the right to add the tax on its stock. New Jersey bad by special enactment provided that the maximum rate of fare be- tween Philadelp! it New York should not exceed $3, aud it was known that passengers e carried in comfortable cars as low a= 81.50. From the last message of the Goverror of New Jersey, it appeared that the whole receipts into State treasury from this tax from the rail- road and from the Delaware and Rariton Canal, amounted to only $267,000, which w: the rate of 1 cent, while the rate jon in Indiana on railroads was 2 per cent, and he would ask his friend if the pas. ngers in Indiapa did not pay this tax. He did not imagine the Congress of the United States was in the habit of violating the Consti- tution, yet Congress had adopted the same theory of railroad taxation which prevailed in New Jersey. Congress had enacted that a cor- tain tax should be levied upon the gross receipts trom passengers and freight, and it New Jersey taxed travel so did the United States. It would be just as competent to say that an American citizen shall travel all over the country without paying any tax, as to say that be should not pay ‘Ls proportion of the tax. The Nevada case was notat all analo. gous, for there the attempt had been made to levy a tax directly upon the passenger. This ‘was all he (Mr. F.) had to say now. H+ might or might noi in the future make some remarks op that other bill, which is the companion of this. Mr. Morton insisted with all respect to his friend from New Jersey, that the yuestion of her right to impose this kind of tax bad been settled directly. The Supreme Court bas said repeatedly that a tax of this kind is a t4x upon passengers, aud the question is no longer an open one.

York Sun, who as Assistant Secretary of War under Mr. Stanton, expresses am entire disbelief in the story put forward by the New York Tim-: ie reference to an attempt to supersede Gen. Grant during the siege of Vicksburg by Gen. Banks. The Sun says: But there are reasons which lead us to con- clude that the whole story 1s a fabrication. In the first place, we know that Goverament at Wasbingion was constantly informed of the progress of the siege of Vicksburg, and kuew thai the downfall of the place was asure thing. Il was also fully aware of the operations and strergth of Joe Jobnson, and understood per- fectly well that nothing was to be apprehended from him. Besides, mstead of the surrender of Vicksburg having been a suddve and unex. pected event, as the Tim: writer represents, it ‘Was one for which the Government had been prepared for three weeks or more previous to its oecurrence. Moreover, all the communications from the Administration to Gen. Grant during the siege ‘Were of the most cordial nature, andexpressed & perfect confidence in his mode of action. The removal of McUlernard—one of the acts about whose effects at Washington Grant was most anxious—was thoroughly approved by the Sec- retary of War and the President. An the second place, it is most improbable that if it had been determined to remove Grant, Gen. Banks would have been selected as bis successor. That officer had not given proof of great military capacity at any time during bis career; and bis siege ot Port Hudson was not calculated toexcite the confidence of any one who was dissatisficd with Grant. He was to attack that place with forces relatively equal to Grant's, and und+r tircumstances which made ite as eas; had tried to cess gq’ iy. He carry it by @ coup d¢ main, just as Graut had tried to carry Vickeburg, and had been desired to place a uew officer in command of the Army of the Tennessee, cer- tainly Banks was not the man whom Mr. Lia- or Mr. Stanton would have chosen for the in Bal i. tate.
