CSS UNCLE PETER’S HORSE. _ EVENING STAR. FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS. Conclusion Saturday's Proceedings. DISCUSSION OF THE I@COME TAX. HOUSE.—After our report closed— Mr. Schenck, from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported the joint resolution of the House, declaratory of the and intent of the act relating to the income tax, with an amendment by the Senate, and recommended that se House non-concur in the Senate amend- ment. Mr. Wood, of New York, said he was willing to accept almost any means to do away with the income tax asa gross imposition. Several gentleman submitted suggestions look- ing to a reduction of the income tax, but Mr. Schenck declined to vield for the purpose of baving action upon them. He charged that blic opinion against the tax was attempted to Re eros while Se 4 may oma = ored it as a fair, proper tax laid upon were most able to pay for i. Mr. Schenck read from a table prepared at the Internal Revenue Bureau showing that there were but 272,s3 perrons who paid income taxes the past year. Mr. Sargent (Cal.) thought the newspapers a retlex of public opinion, and thought the public were hostile to the tax. Messrs. Voorhees and Coburn (Ind.,) sustained the law as just and proper. Mr. Judd (ML) thonght the law oppressive upon men of small salaries. ‘Mr. MeNeely (Ili) asked his colleague in what other way a tax upon the bonds could be collected. Mr. Cox (N. Y.) characterized the law as the meanest law ever male by any nation. Mr. Farnsworth (11!.) sustained the law as Imposing a tax upon persons. able to pay who would otherwise escape the taxation imposed upon others. Mr. Schenck said the income tax brought to the government €35,900,000, and it it was wiped out there was no opportunity left to reduce the tax on the little necessuries, as it was desired to. He favored putting the balk of the taxes upon the luxuries, the artificial appetites, and the cap- ital of the country. The House refused to concur in the Senate amendment. ‘The Speaker appointed as members of a com- mittee of conference on the census bill Messrs. Garfield, (Ohio,) Allison, (lowa,) and Cox, (N. ¥.

Let us drop a veil over the sor- Tow of that household. Unele Peter had several good white friends— gentlemen of position—who generously interest- ‘Ives in his cause; but it was long before they could even obtain a hearing for their hum- dle chent, and when his simple had been told and substantiated, they were informed that there was no redress—the horse clearly bore the brand of the United States, and even though it had been raised from the dead. to the Untted States it belonged, and could not be given up. Contiseation by the military police was the bourne whence no property returned; and the bay, now a valuable animal, was found to be so tethered with red tape that there was no getting him out of the government enclosure. So that was the end of the case of Uncle Peter vs. Uncle Sam, unless, indeed, # claim be yet brought be- fore Cony From the day of his bereavement our poor old friend has never beheld his horse.
