COLLECTION OF ILLEGAL TAXES, Mr. KELLEY, (rep.) of Pa,, introduced a bill to pre- Vent the collection of illegal taxes on passengers under the color of State authority, which was re- ferred to the Committee on Commerce.

THE INTERNAL REVENUE BILI The House resumed its session at half-past seven, in Committee of the Whole, Mr. ScorreLD in the chair, and resumed the cousideration of the internal Revenue bill, taking it up at the sections relating to distilled spirits and tobacco. M cHENCK moved to amend the second section by King Out the last sentence relating wo grape brandy, and to insert in lieu of it the following:— ‘The Commissioner of Internal Revenue is hereby author- jee. to exempt distillers of brandy, made exclusively from apples, peaches or grapes, from such of the provisions of this Ling to the manufacture of spirits, aa in bis judgment may seem expedient, but not toabaie the tax thereon. The amendment was a: to. On motion of Mr. ScuENeK, the sixth and other sections were amended so as to place compounders of Liquors on the same footing as refiners, Mr. Woop, (dem.) of N, ¥., premising that Mr. has been connected with internal revenue its commencement, asked him whether he would say this bill was a finality or Bel lena it would be served up again after the 4th of arch. Mr. SCHENCK said that the gentleman was mistaken in his premises. He bad not been connected with revenue legislation all the time, his duties in that direction having only devolved on him at the last session. When the revenue system was first estab- lished, so far from legislating on it, he was supported in part by the proceeds of that revenue while trying - bs om best to hurt the friends of the gentleman in ¢ field. Mr. Woop remarked that the gentleman’s reflec- tions on his (Mr. Wood's) political friends and him- self was totally uncalled for by anything he had said or by the character of the debate. Mr. ScHENCK—At all events, they were no friends of mine. Mr. Woop—I think the gentleman should not voluntarily enter into the discussion of his military career, because at the proper time, when he wiil force that question on the attention of the House, I Tobably may be able to say thatneither my political tends nor his military enemies were very much in- jured by that attempt of bis. Mr. SCHENCK—That 18 very probable; but I did the best I could, which was all ‘that could be expecied, at any rate, when I had any service to perform. Various amendmends, formal in their character, ‘were offered by Mr. Schenck and to, On motion of Mr. SCHENCK, the forty-ninth section ‘Was amended by striking out the words ‘the Secre- tary of the Treasury, on the recommendation of.” so that it will read “the Commissioner of Internal Reve- hue may appoint not exceeding twenty-five officers, to be called Supervisors of Internal Revenue,” so as perl a the appointments directly to the Commis- rT. Mr. SPHENCKE moved a similar amendment to the fifty-second section, in relation to the appointment of internal revenue storekeepers. Mr. RANDALL, (dem.) of Pa., called for a division on the amendment, Mr. SCHENCR proceeded to advocate the amend- ment, insisting op the necessity of placing the re- sponsibility for the collection of the revenue on the Commissioner, aud giving to the Commissioner the bee Sy yet of his subordinates. Mr. RANDALL expressed himself as opposed to pee so much power in the nands of the Commis- sioner. Mr, ELDRIDGE inquired of Mr. Schenck whether he could inform the House as to any members of the next Cabinet. Mr. MULLins, (rep.) of Tenn.—I object; it is not germane to the bill. b oe gpa must refer the gentlemanyo Gene- ‘al Grant, Mr. ELDRIDGE—I want to get the gentleman's opinion, As Mr. RANDALL insisted on a division, and as no uorum Was present, the committee rose aud the House at nine o'clock adjourned. MASSACHUSETTS. The New Ocean Telegraph Company—Propo- sition to Land the American End of the Cable in Duxbury—Prospect of a Lively Contest in the Legislature Between the Ad- vocates and Opponents of the Enterprise. Boston, Feb. 8, 1869. It is a fact not generaily known that the Ocean Telegraph Company, now contemplating the laying Of a cable between the United States and France, is desirous of having the American terminus of the game on the shores of Massachusetts, and in the im- mediate vicinity of the old Plymouth rock of histori- cai renown. It is true that the company has pur- chased territory in the neighborhood of New York for the landing of this end of the cable, but it has been ascertained that tyre is a point along the coast, in the town of Duxbury, which pos: s ad- ditional advantages, and unless the Massachusetts Legisiature interferes 1t will undoubtedly be ianded there. The point of land where it is designed to have the American ena terminate is within the town limits of Duxbury and is popularly known as the “Hummock.” It is almost an island, being con- nected tothe mainiand by only @ narrow strip of indy beach aud there is a uniform sandy bottom all the Way out to sea, thus rendering any damage to the cable from the bed positively impossibié, The nearest point to any raliroad is the Old Colony and Newport, which is only about five miles distant. ‘The town of Duxbury is unanimousiy in favor of granting the wish of the company and has gener- Ourly determined to donate all the territory which may be required; but there has nevertheless appeared @ strong opposition since the matter has come Up in the Legisiature. A few weeks since a petition ‘Was presented in the Senate. headed by George M. Dexter and others, asking for an act of incorpora- tion as the “Ocean Telegraph Company,” with au- thority to land the cable at some point on the shore of the county of Plymouth. The matter was referred to the Committee on Mercantile Affaira, and ata subsequent hearing the Franklin Company appeared Jn opposition, claiming that, by their charter, they have the right to construct lines in all sections of the State in preference to any company not already char- tered. The Wesiern Union Company not appear, but ii is well Known that its offic! re inboring hard in Congress for a law to restrain the new com- pany from landing its cable upon the shores of us country. Among the objections urged is the absurd one that in the event of a possible war between America and any foreign country the cable would undoubtediy be controlled by Eng- lishmen, to the disadvantage of the United States, ‘The banker of the company is Baron Erlanger, a son. in-law _of Slidell of rebel fame, and upon this domes. tic and family alliance the opponents of the new en- terprise ii stress, arguing that it ts not im. probable whole scheme is only an enterin; wedge to astrife which will resuit tn the ered smashing up of the whole American universe, Thia Oimay o! ‘tion is we:l met in the argument that if fuch was the ¢ aim of the projectors of the enterprise in the other country their pian would not be earlier discovered or more promptiy nipped in the bud than if the Americam end of the cable was under the control of tie radicais of Massachusetts, The opposition of the Franklin T ‘ap Company amounts to notht its only probabie course is to force the Océan Company tovol with their itnes instead of with those of the Western Union Coim- pany. Thus far the \Oceau Company is unconcerned about distributing thelr messages t fh the coun- ty after receiving them over the cabie; but when lie latter t# successfully taid and in operation they ay they are willing to receive proposals from any rival land companies waich may then exist. itis Not impossible Tiat the anticipation of the govern- ment taking coptro! of the ‘and jnea may de one resort Why the Gcean Company deciines to hold out aay suancements tothe Froukiin or any other com- paoy.

Investigation of the Gas Companics—The Broadway Surface Railroad Again—Jay Gould in the Field—Bergh Has a Bill—The Fire Department Law—New Commissioners Suggested—More Patronage fer the City Comptroller=An Enst Side Boulevard Pro- posed by Genet. ALBANY, Feb, 9, 1869. Mr. P. Mitchell, of the New York delegation, one of the rising young members of the House, has pre- pared and fully arranged a combined attack upon the gas companies of the State, The cities of Butfalo and Brooklyn, I understand, will go with him reso- iutely im demanding an mvestigation into the whole aifairs of the gas companies of New York and the other cities above named. It is Alleged that an in- ferior quality of coal is used, which, of course, pro- duces a wretched article of gas, while at the same time the companies charge consumers an exorbitant price for the poor light furnished. As the gas companies are now managed consumers have no redress, no matter what their grievances may be. Indeed, not not only redress but even common civility is often de- nied to the complainants. It will be a matter of univer- sal gratification, then, should this investigacion be in- sstituted. There are no incorporated companies in the State, ifwe except the railroads, whose general management is as obnoxious and oppressive as these gas companies. ‘They want a goo overhauling, and it is to be hoped that the Legtis- lature will not shirk its duty in the matter. Affairs In reference to a Broadway surfave railroad are maturing. Jay Gould is expecied here in a day ortwo to labor with his accustomed mdustry in its behalf, It will be fiercely contested by the Broad- way property interests, led oi by A. T. Stewart. Should the bill pass in the face of this opposition, it is boasted that the scheme carries enough weight and tofuence of a certain character with 1t to pass it isexpected that the Governor wiil veto it; but it over the Veto, ‘The attempt will assarediy be mace and the balance between success and failure must ‘be turned by the usual method, which it is unneces- sary to explain. Henry Bergh is in the city, laden with the sympa- thies of dumb animals. He has a bill to present pro- viding for the comforts of cattle on their way from the pleasant country pastures to. the'sacrificial altars of the abattoirs of New York. He proposes an excel- lent idea—that the unfortunate animals shail be re- moved from the cattle cars at least once in twenty- four hours, and that the cars shall be furnished with tanks of good water for their use. Slaughtering is also to be done in private and out of view of chii- dren, and the animais must be knocked on the head until they are insensibe before their throats are cut, except when they are slain in accordance with some religious rites. There are many other provisions tending to make the slaughtering business more comfortable to the victims and more conducive to the public health, all of which Mr. Bergh is hopeful to see carried out. Mr. Bergh lectured in the assembly chamber this evening, to a very lat audience, on the subject of “Crueity to Animals.” A soctety, officered by some of our prominent citizens, has been organized on the New York = Senator Genet’s bill to amend the Fire Department law provides that the city of Brooklyn shall be in- corporated with the city of New York in tne opera- tions of @ id department, and that the present Fire Commlasioner# shall be removed and the names of Alexander McLeod, William H. Charlick, R. ©. Browne and Hugh McLaughlin, of Brooklyn, sub- stituted in their places’. A_delegatio! m the Shipowners’ Association of New York are expected to appear before the Com- mittee on Commerce and Navigation to-morrow and nest to be heard in favor of Mr. Jacobs’ Pilot bill. ir. Creamer’s bill in the Senate asks for four commissioners of taxes and assessments, to be ap- pointed by the City Comptroller for five years, to receive a of $5,000 a year, and to have the power to appoint ten deputies to aid in the assess- ment of real estate in the city of New York. The boulevard question obtained some notice in the Senate to-day by the introduction of Mr Genet’s till directing the Park Commissioners to open a boulevard on the east side of the city, bounded by Fifty-seventa street, west side, and Fifth avenue, east side, and to widen or discontinue all such S.reets as may be necessary for this improvement, The State Agricultural lety will meet here to- morrow for the purpose of electing new officers.

The Liederkranz BallAn Immense Rush— Prince Carnival Holding High Carsival— The Academy as Bright and Brilliant as Ever—Fastnacht in Full Glory. Shakspeare was right. The world’s bitterness must be varied by its drollery, or else it would be- come intolerable. Hence in every tragedy he has a fool, a court fool, to give zest by ais wit and timely interjections to the tragic history acted by the more serious characters. The sage from the Banks of the Avon knew human nature, There must be fun, or else the world will grow sour. It is, therefore, in the nature of a great panacea for the social disease generally known as tiresomeness that car- nivals are hailed with pleasure and delight in Europe and are being more and ,more do- mesticated in* America. The Fastnacht! The night before the season of fasting! The relig- ious customs of former times have made day the Shrove Tuesday, the day of fun and frolic, and the Liederkranz this year must be ascribed the honor of passing its guests from the season of festivity to the season of contrition ina blaze of glory and brilliancy. The invitations of the Liederkranz Were responded to so numerously that the large building of the Academy had hardly sufi- cient room to contain them ali, from the highest to the lowest tier of galleries, on the floor, m the corri- dors, in the rooms appropriated to the use of the several committees, on the stage—in fact, every. where the rush of joyfui and merry humanity was immense, And as the time passed still more came, and the Door Committee, under their chiefs, Messrs, S. ©. Kapif and Charles Schedler, in the costume of Otto Vou Wittelsbach, and the Floor Committee, with Messrs. John Deghnee and Otto Arens as leaders, in the costume of Fra Diavolo, were as polite as gentle- men could be, and did as much as they could to make every one feel at home in the vast crowd of happy souls. Shortly after ten o'clock the signal was given for the curtain to rise, and the interior of the realm of Prince Liederkranz, surrounded by his court, was developed to the view of admiring thousands. ‘The programme of this carnavalistic performance, as publisued in the HeRaLp yesterday, was strictly carried out, ‘The following were the acting per- Liederkranz, Mr. Kapff; Germania, Miss Kiesele; Columbia, Miss-Gross; Apollo, A. Lohmann; Herald, Mr. Cook; Flagbearer, Mr. Knirsch; Pages, Schrader and Michaelis; Arion, Mr. Loesch; Orpheus, Mr. Jost; Bacchus, Mr. Schoenfeld; Gany- mede, Nahrwold; Mercury, Lohmann; (eneral Grant, Mr. Schneider; King Fisk, Mr. Conner; Judge, Mr. Berg; Themis, Miss Niemaler, and many other characters. meThe masks were splendid, some few even excel- lent, and true representatives of the characters assumed. Midnight in the Academy, and the eye is dazed by the sheen and glitter of countless cos- tumes. Down from the huge chandetiers fali myriad shafts of light, which are shivered on burnished armor and sparkling bijouterie. Pierrots and _har- lequines caper about and serve as demonstrative critics on the various masks; knights in armor and in gorgeons surcoats bend in respectful obeisance to stately court ladies; Boulotte teases Don Quixote; ‘an Alaska bear bows to Queen Isbella; a glimmer of gold sttines through the many hued crowd us some richly dressed committee passes through the heaving surge of dancers; here is a Comanche introducing a Queen of the Night to a broth of a boy from ‘jpperary; yonder a page and a decrepit old witch waltzing together, and over all swell the tones of a hundred instruments evoked by the wands of Bernstein and Dietz. The hours fy past on lightning wings and still the floor is crowded with a cosmo- politan throng, which seems to be untiring in the pursuit of pleasure. There was one very significant Teature about this ball which distinguished it from many of the others which have been given at the Academy this season. It was the absence of objec- tionable people who often contrive to torce their unwelcome presence amo ladies and gentlemen at a public bail. parti- cular were the commitiee that one iask who appeared in a rather indecorous toilet was litely requested to withdraw. The utmost order prevailed and every one present pronounced the all the most elegant, distingue, enjoyable and harmonious of the season. The police arrangements under Captain Cameron were of the usual! efficiency, and the reception committee, consisting of William Steinway, Fred Stevens, George Nembach and A. Klamroth, were eminently satisfactory in carrying out their part of the programme—bidding each guest welcome and putting every one in good humor. The M. T. Brennan Coterie Bat!. The association of New York politicians known as the M. T. Brennan Coterie assembled in great force last night at the Apollo Rooms. All the city fathers and their sons and cousins were there to honor the police commissioner. Mayor Hall, Judge Dowling, the County Clerk, Aider- men, Councilmen, political policemen and roe hacks well known to fame passed in in guicl succession. It was some time aiter ten o'clock when the band announced that the ball was open. Even then a long line of carri: were at the door and the stairs were thronged with a curious bat much ex- pecting crowd of serene patriots. The ball ‘was gotten up by Mr. William J. A McGrath, presi- dent of the Coterie, out owing to a death in his fam- lly he was unable to be present. But for this it is certain that the arrangements would have been ir than they were. The committee were Walter Roche, Charles Hi. Hall, John Murphy aud James McGowan. The Col bia Boat Club Ball. The fourth annual ball of this prosperous club of jolly oarsmen was had last evening at Irving Hall. The annual reantons of this goodly clab have always been looked upon by young ladies, who know a thing |,or two about what is attractive in light fantastic fes- tivities, as events of no small importance. The re- union last evening was a very brilliant affair, and by no means second to that of last year in its attractiveness. The hall was richly hung with the flags and banners of the various boat clubs which have gained renown in boating circles of late years, while the champion three mile belt, awarded to a member of the Columbia this year, Waa conspicuously displayed on the stage at thefurther end of the hall. As for the ladies and gentlemen who participated in the festivities of the evening, they enjoyed themselves to their heart's content. The music was all that one of the very best orchestras in the city could give forth, as for the ladies, they were, as all ladies of course naturally are, as beautiful as beautiiul can be. In fact, the affair was one of unqualified suc- cess; and when the gay company dispersed, which they did not do until a very advanced hour in the Morning, every one left feeling that the fourth an- nual bail of the Columbia Boat Club was by far the Most brilliant of ita reaniona since it firat put its lively oar into the roubled waters of boating annuals. Masonic Ball in Brooklyn. ‘There was a large and brilliant assemblage of la- dies and gentlemen gathered at the City Assembly Rooms, Washington street, Brooklyn, last evening, the occasion being the first annual rece of Crystal Wave, No. 688 F. and A. M. This is one of the largest and most select lodges of the masonic fraternity in the City of Churches, and the success of the entertainment given last night ranks it among the miost social. The music waa excellent. ‘The dancing Was kept np until an early hour in the morning, aud the adair was in every way worthy of its ananagers. ARNG STAGE ROBBE: A Citizen Robbed in a Broadway StageThe Thieves Arrested, A dastardly and daring robbery was perpetrated in a Broadway stage jast evening, Mr. Nathaniel MeCreedy, of No. 10 West Twenty-second street, ac- companied by his wife, entered @ stage for the purpose of attending Watlack’s theatre. On arriving at the theatre he attempted to leave the vehicle, when John Roach, ailas oy Od Greek, who gave his residence as No. 125 Rliza- beth street, and James McConnell, of No. 20 Seventh avenue, who were riding in the stage, seized the door and prevented their exit.

This the family of the bridegroom heartily favor and the youth is sept to Paris forthe purpose ot fa- cilitating this severance of the ties. He is introduced at court and 1s deceived by his cousin Diane, who tals desperately in Jove with him afterwards, into supposing that she is his wife, who, he subsequently, jeurns does not agree willingly to the projected di- vorce, but has given her consent under the mpres- sion that he does not care for her. Of course they instantly become devoted to each other, the King (Charles LX.) and Queen espouse their cause, and they are secretly remarried, In the meantime it was the design,of her guardian that she should mari son, Mircisse, and thus retrieve the fortunes of his house.

Enault. New York: C. Lassalle. An excelient French novel. Free from all the ob- jectionabie features often indiscriminately attributed to modern French novels, it is spicy and interesting, without the slightest seasoning of immorality, and witty without being wicked. in presenting the exceptional experiences of a pupil of the Legion of Honor, it gives vivid pictures of a_ brief blissful married life in Brittany; of ten years of school-girl life at St. Denis; of a few weeks of intoxicating life of pleasure at Paris, at ‘Trouville and at a country chateau, and of a painful, but courageous and ultimately successful, stiruggie with poverty, hunger, heart sickness and other woes and perils which beset a poor, lonely young gir! in the great French metropolis. Jeanne Dervill’s story is cally and powerfully told. ‘The characiers Ware in it are so distinctly mdividualized that der almost imagines that he has personally known them ail, from the brave, beautiful and loveable heroine herself, “who accepts lavor as the law of life and triumphs by it,” to her devotea Jacqueline and the hittle grisettes who befriend her Par Louis in dire distress, as weil as the artstocratic adorers whom she maguetizes by her charms, including the amiable and sincere, but weak willed, Count de Bois Robert, the odious Baron de Blanchelaude and the maniy, mysterious and chivairous Marquis de Ver- teins, who becomes her happy husband. NaTURE’s NOBLEMAN, By the author of ‘Raciel’s Secret.” New York: Harper Brothers, ‘We have in this work a novel of unusual merit, so far as the plot and the delineation of the characters are concerned, The author is intense, graphic and interesting. Thus muck in favor of the book. Its fauits are twofold. In the first place there 18 not enough of dialogue; the characters are described by the author, instead of being made to describe them- selves. The most interesting form of fiction is that which makes each individual develop by actions or dialogues his or her character. The next fauit is a noticeable one. In the sixth chapter Miss Beatrice Rossitur retires to her room, unlocks a little drawer in the dressing tabie and takes from it a locket of chased gold set with tarquoises, Here we quote the author:— She pushed a litde spring, the locket opened, ‘there was a bit of folded paper juside, ‘this she unwrapped, shuddering agshe did so. It was stained with faded, red-brown marks. In it was a lock of gray hair, matted together as though it pped up while wet with b.ood. She moaned unfolded it, and the gray matted lock jay be- ‘Then hot, sealding tears fell upon It—her face seemed suddenly to grow old wilh misery. “It cannot be! it cannot be! she moaned, “I could not tell him all. Ob, God! my punishment 1» greater than Lenn “she thrast the paper from her, Great sobe shook her frame * * * Here is the germ of a splendid sensation, but after carefully examining the book we have failed to find the explanation. Whose gray, matted locks had she before her? Whatcaused them to become matted with blood ?) Such a glaring neglect is almost unpar- donable on the part of the writer.
