Mr! Sarwan spoke in opposition to the proposed amendment.

Mr. Summwan revretied that Mr. Brown should have made such a personal attack upom Mr. Dennison, whom he (fr, Sherman) knew to bave the public interests at heart, and to be as desrous as anybody of advancing them. Mr. Dennison did not bebeve that the pian fins, suggested by Mr. Brown was feasible at the prosent timo, bat he was favorable to anythieg that promised relief from the prosent telegraph monopoly.

The Senate bill further to prevent smuggling came up as the unfinished business of yesterday, was dis- cussed during the morning hour by Messrs.

Mr. Exprings, (dem.) of Wis., wished to offer an amendment to repeal section four of the act of March 1 1617, concerning navigation, which, ho operat severely against the transportation of wheat fem the West to the Kast by preventing the competition of Ca- nadian vessels in the carrying trade between ports of tho United Stat” Mr. E1sor dectined to yield for that purpose, and the House seconded the previous question. Some technical amendment offered by Mr, Hutnphrey and Bir. Ehot were agreed to, and the bill, a8 amended, was passed. On motion of Mr. Extor, leave was ited to Mr. Washburne, of Lilinois, to make a report from the Com- mittee on Commerce, he (Mr. Washburno) being confined to his bed by sickueas, but hoping to be out im the course of three or four days. LEAVE GRANTED TO SIGN THE RECONSTRUCTION REPORT, Leave was granted to Mr. Blow, a member of tt Re- construction Committee, to sign the majority report, he having been absent when it was made. THE TAX We Mr. Morvint, (rep. of Vt.) from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported back ainendments to the Tax bill, and proceeded to state the important features of the report. ‘The cominitteo recommend non-concurrence in the Seuate amendient reducing the tax om cotton froin {ve to two cents; on the amendinent allowing gas companies and stroet railroads to add in the tax to their charges; on the amendment mersasing the tax on ready mado clothing from one and two per cent; om the amends reducing the tax on smokin tobacco from twenty to teon cents; on the amendment as to taxing the oiren! tion of State bauk notes, and on the aweudwent as to the income tax parute votes were asked on all these and other ep.) of Iowa, who had askod a ton amendment, expressed a desire ty | ng that he learned from a mom- 1 Ways and Means that it was (ie estion in a liberal spirit in the vote on the withdraw the cull, ber of the Com: intention so tre: Committee of C , renewed the demand for a separate vol Mr. Monit, said that the general purpose of the Com- mittee of Ways and Means had been to follow the votes of the House on all questions debated aud acted on by the Hoase, ‘The must importaut amendment was that in regard to cotton. ‘The House by a vory large and decisive vote had put the tax at five cents per pound, and the Senate had reduced it to two cents,’ Thero was a variance of opiaiow between the “House 4 tho Senate on that subject, and he trusted House would not feel disposed to yield. He, for one, muci precorred to have the tax five conts, and at all events it should be nothing less three cents, He bel.eved thiat it would Inflict no imjary on the people of the South, but that they would be earvest!y in favor of it. The reduction of tho tax from five to tivo ceats would make a sad hole im the revenues of the goverume: Mr. Kacsox asked whether the addition of the five cents a poond to the cost of cotton would not make a sadder hole in the parses of the people, Mr. Mont. thought not, but that it wouldisdd largely to tho wealth of the United states if every pound of cot- ton raised in the United States could b@ mannfactured here. Mr. Rarmowp, {rop.) of N. ¥., inquired what would be the probable amount of diminution in the revenue if the tax on cotton were reduced to two cents. Mr, Mounitt. gave the estimates at twonty-seven mil- lions. Mr. Rarwony inquired farther what the diminution would be with the tax at three conts. Mr. MORRILL estimated it at eighteen millious He went on to speak about the tobacco amendment, and declared his opinion that a tax of twenty cents per pound was littla enough. He believed himeelf an im partial juror between the different section» of the coun- try on tbat subject, as his State did not produce or manu facture tobacco. In regard to the amendment allowing ges Companiés to add the tax to the price of gas whore ‘such price isdixed by law, he thonght a refusal to con- cur in it would bo a of hardship aud tyranny which the House would not like to be responsible for. In this connection he instanced the Manhattan Gax Com. pany of New York, which was restricted to two dollars and fifty cents per thourand cubic feet, and to the Piusburg Com; age nape 4 © seventy-five ceuts for gus cneeuacd ty efty and one dollar itty cents for Lied to other consumers, Mr. Grisworn, (rep) of N. Y., expressed his concur. rence with the Clairman of the Committee of Ways and ‘Means on the question of the tax on cotton. When the subject was under discursion before in the House he had stated that ai twenty-five cents « pound American cotton would be used in land in preference to the cotton j¢ gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Hooper) had demurred to that staement. He now gave as his authority fur it the member of Parliament from Cariisie, a large Manchester cotton spinner, aud the London Chroniele of April T, 1966. Mr. Hoover thought the sources of saformation rather snspicious, as that great colton spinner mighi be inter esied in the growth of cotton in Iudia, and would in that case prefer to bave Amencan eotton taxed five cents » pound of more Mr. Grorwoun directed attention to the fact that the quantity of American cotton imported January 1 to Aprii 19, 1868, was five #ix thousand bales, 9 in the corresponding time in 1465, an incroase of ov five hundred per cent; while the increase in Ube impor. tation of other cotton was only forty-two per cent Mr. Hoorgx thought that might be explained by the fact of our cotton having become accesmble. Mr. Grewotn expressed bin belie that kingland would gladly consume three tni'livns of bales of Auer ton at @price not lees than twenty. Wie mp No branch of industry could so weil contribute to the national revenue. He sincerely hoped that the House would not concur in the Senate amendment.

On t contrary he knew that efforts had been made in India, and he supposed wuge still continued, tw produce an ex: traordinary amount of cotton under the sthinaius of high os. He was informed that at the present cost of cotton could not be produced at lems than fifteen or sixteen cents & pound, and a tax of five cents on that would be equal to thirty three and one third per cent Mr, Stevens said thabany man who had studied the history of sotls, climates aud productions must know that America could produce cotton at less than Lalf the cost of iis production in other countries, If the cost of producing it in (h's country were thirty cents a pound it would be all bought.

Before the cotton crop of the country could largely increase it woald be for the government to extend | aid in re- pairing the levees on the Mississippi, in relieving the planters of the Sontherg States from their proportion of the taxes for « time at jeast, and io sustaining and ay ing the people engaged in agroullural purnulty.
