Hon. Jas. F. WiLson was not a candidate for United States Senator from Iowa, and the tele- gtams published here, purporting to give the vote received by him, were erroneous, as shown by correct reports of the vote in detail since re- ceived, in which his name does not appear. TuE Svp-ComMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS have eu tdown the appropriations for the Indian Bureau from five to two millions, and have alse cut out entirely the estimates for the Land Of- fice, amounting to $490,000, on the ground that there was a surplus on hand, and the expenses must be curtailed to use up the surplus.

ImPoRTANT Decision oF CoMMISSIONER DELANO—A Portion oF THE Income Tax TO BE CONTINUED.—Commissioner Delano yester- day made the important decision that the in- come tax assessed upon Government employes, and Army and Navy officers, and upon the divi- dends of banks, railroads and other corpora- tions, the distributed protits made by them, as well as interest amounts used for the construc tion of buildings, cars, etc., does not expire with the year 1870, the law excepting these from the incomes on which the tax will cease to be collec- ted after the 30th of April next.

The bill in effect, he said, a thorized the of the Navy to sell as he pleases, to whom he pleases, when he pleases, and on such terms as he pleases, p1 rty of the United States valued at three millions dollars, subject only to the approval of the President, who, from the very of his position, can- not be supposed to have a personal knowledge of the circumstances. All the money realized from the sale of the Philadephia yard was to ai to the purchase of League Island. While he had every Sy mee in the President posed placing such power over money in the hands of anyone man. If ill was to pass he favored such ts as would require the proceeds of the sale ta be paid into the Treasury. Mr. Dawes then epnciyne) show how the bill would eventually cost the Government sev- eral million of dollars, and said 1t baled os prey to follow it up with an appropriation of 800,000 for the work at League Island. The chair- man of the Naval Committee (Mr. Scofield), the other day naively remarked that the committee did not ask for a dollar of ap- propriation, but he forgot to say that the bill was to be followed up by the application of the Philadelphia delegates for an additional a) propriation of $800,000. Mr. Dawes then charged the Government with u1 Pennine rane in submitting the estimates to Congress. He uoted from the estimates of this year and those submitted last year to show that they had been increased for every navy-yard in the coun- try, and that the appropriation for all thenavy- yards aggregated asked for this year was three million doilars, against four hundred and tirty- one thousand dollars last year. As a friend of the present Administration he would be par- doned for what he would say apon the subject; but hisduty to the country, and his position in the House of Representatives impelled him to speak plainly. He was compeiled to confess that the estimates of the heads of Departments did not inspire confidence in his mind. He found, by comparing the estimates of the present Seer: tary of the Navy with those of the last Secreta- ry, that the appropriations this year were larg. ly im excess, and yet we were promised retrene ment. The only prospect of retrenchment held out wag when the Secretary said by a new arrangement of naval vessels he would save two millions of dollars in the article of coal alone. ‘That was certainly a remarkable saving, when the fact was that coal last year enly cost $150,000. This was only equalled by the statement of a other Cabinet officer, who proposed to save $5,000,000 by the abolition of the franking priv- ilege,'when upon a fair calculation, ascertained that if all the could have their way, the national debt would no doubt be paid before the end of the year.
