J. Osborne and Rich- ard Schell, of New York, in reference to the recent geld panic. The evidence thus far is cumulative in its character, and bears only upon the point that there were large amounts of gold purchased by Gould, Fisk & Co. for the purpose of enhancing its premium, that they might reap the profits thereon. This seems to be the sum and substance of the evidence thus tar taken. Tur Taxon Farmers as Propvce Brorers. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has written a letter, in which he says that the ruling under which @ person who makes it his occupation to sell the products of his own farm from a stall or stand is required to pay a xpecial tax as produce broker should be construed with the utmost liberality, giving the producer the benefit of all doubts respecting his liability; that it cannot ordinarily be said to be the occupation of a farmer to sel! his products; that it is his business to raise them, and that the selling is an ineident to the production; that it is only when he makes such sciling his regular and constan‘ business that he should be required to pay this tax. seiprr Senators.—Senator Kel- ed adespatch from Mississippi stating that H. R. Revel, a colored man, has been elected United States Senator for the un- expired term, Governor Alcorn for the shor term, and Gen Ames for the long term.

DawEs’ Srevcu.— “Data” of the Baltimore American says: That ina conversation yesterday the President in- cidentally referred to the speech of Mr. Dawes as to Government expenses, and remarked that it should be borne in mind, that at the close of the war we had on hand an immense amount of stores, fuel provisions, etc.: that these had been from time to time disposed of, and the proceeds used to pay the expenses of the Government during the last four years, and now they are ex- hausted, and we are put upon the resources ‘rom revenue from taxes and customs to pay the expenses of the Government; that the expanses of the Government for the army and navy were less during last year than the previous year, and that Mr.“ Dawes’ statement, without many such explanations, was calculated to create an (Fconeous @7d false impression.

Fripay, January 21. SENATE.—Mr. Wilson presented a bulky me morial of 1,400 officers of the army, asking an inerease ef pay. Referred to Committee on Military Affairs. take os . memorial asking the passage of an a ment giving, women the right to vot. Reterred to Judiciary Committee. Mr. Pomeroy also presented petition in favor of timale suffrage. Mr. Davis said he desired to present a memo- ral. not in reference to the follies of the age, but in reference to something practical, a me al asking the abolition of the franking priv- ilege. Bir. Morrill of Vermont, Presented meinorials in tavor of the abolition of the franking priv:- lege. He stated that he should vote for this but he thought it was very unhandsome in the Postmaster General to cirenlate the impression through the country that Senators and Repre- tives were guilty of abuses of this privilege. He did not believe that it would save any five millions to the Government; it would not save one cent. Mr. Wilson did not believe anything would be saved either, but he hoped the fanking privilege would ‘be abolished. It was a great urden to members of Congress, and he hoped it would be abolished, and also that the bill of Mr. Trumbull would be passed prohibiting members of Congress from making applications for office for their constituents. Members of Congress would then be able to attend to their legitimate duties. r. Trumbull expressed the belief that there had been abuse of the privilege. Mr. Cole did not believe it would be any measure of economy. Mr. Bayard, in presenting memorials on the same subject from Delaware, stated that one ot the postmasters furnishing these memorials asserted that he did so under instructions. Mr. Fenton offered memorial of W. C. asking certain privileges to enable him and his associates to connect the United States and Belgium by direct submarine teregraphic cable. Reterred to Cemmittee on For Kelations, Mr. Thurman said in the whole history of the Government was there anything so fl tas this conduct of the Pestmaster General. To have these blanks printed at the expense of the Government and forwarded to his 1,800 subordi- nates who hold their pesition at his will, with instructions to procure Rignatures to manufac- tnre public sentiment. ‘There was a time when even the President would not have dared to do such athing, and there was atime when Con gress would not have submiited to such a pro- on the part of any officer of the Gov- ernment. Mr. Sherman, from the Committee on Fi- nance, reported’ House bill declaring that the income tax shall be collected for present year, with a verbal amendment. Mr. Sherman explained that th’s resolution was necessary im consequence of the conflicting opinions of the law officers of the different Departments. The Judge Advocate General had decided that the tax expired during the last year, aud the Pay- master General, in accordance with thisopinion, would not deduct it from the salaries of the officers of the army. Other Departments would deduct it. and this resolution was intended to declare the meaning of the law, so that all the officers of the Government should bs treated alike. Mr. Thurman was not in favor of legislative declarations of the construction of a law. Mr. Casserly said that the people of fornia were most unjustly oppressed by income ‘hey paid tive or six times thoi propor- r tax unconstitutional. Mr. Sherman would be in favor of extending the income tax asthe means of reaching th large incomes of the rich, as against the con sumption of the poor. In En, where taxa- tion had been reduced to a sc he incame tax was regularly levied. But this bill did not propose to exterid the tax. would go over until md he hoped that the Fina: would bring in a bill to ex rs from g this tax, xs he how they couid live on their present com- a Dill to abolish the and to provide for the De- partment of Education. Mr. Koss introduced a bill to prohibit the sele of the public iands of the United States ex- cpt to actual settlers. Keferred to Committee on Public Lands. Mr. Pomeroy introduced joint resolutions proposing as the sixteenth amendment to the The Dill for the admission of Virginia was then taken up. Mr. ‘Trumbull felt it his duty to refer to state- ments which had been made here again and again after they had been refuted. Mr. T. read from the Globe the comments of Mr. Sumner on his (Mr. T.’s) remarks, styling thei “prepos- terous,” “absurd,” &e. He (Mr. T.) had in his colloquy with Mr. Edmunds as to the agreement in regard to a vote on Monday last, never once referred to the Senator from setts. The Senator charged me with a monopoly, of olding to my view of the agreement. rs undemfood It asTdid. Sensor alter Senator rose and corroborated what I said, but the Sen- ator made no correction. jing)—Of course not. Mr. Sumner (interru; Mr. ged me with an impo- frumbull.—He cl jumner.—Will the Senator allow me? Mr. Trumbull—The Senator may hold his peace until I expose his misstatements. Mr. T. ‘hen went on to show that there was no substan- tial difference betweenthe Senate and the House bills, and an agreement to vote on one could not be mvalidated by the taking up of the other. He (Mr, T.) would now allude to other statements of that Senator. The Senator from Vermont had alluded to a gentleman of Virginia, stating to him that he had gone to the door of the Judi- ciary Committce on the day they were consid- ering this matter, and had een refused adinit- tance. ‘This gentleman was named Wardwell, and he was one of the signers to the memorial gees by Mr. Sumner. In this memorial ir. Wardwell states that he did not know that the case of Virginia was under con- sideration until it was reported; so that he contradicted himse! In addition to this every member of the Judiciary Committee but the Senator from Vermont, who was not present, had denied the assertion, and the mes- senger had informed him (Mr. T.) that no such person as this Mr. Wardwell had ever appeared at the door of the committee room. In the face of this, the Senator from Massachusetts had got- ten up and again and again repeated these as sertions, which had been proved to be false. Could assurance and impudence go furtherb {Laughter.) But, Mr. President, I am not done with the Senator from Massachusetts. 1 shall bility. uppressed applause jeri The Senat from Vermont had read an extract *from a specch of Governor Walker, °) that with a Legislature” oppoved to the eee county system.
