Lot us have fafr play in all thiags and all the world over, Cougress Yesterday—Repeal of the Invome Tax-Auother Swoop on tho Public Downta, “TTrs . Tho bill for the abolition of the income tax was passed by the Senate yesterday, after a debate in which all the arguments for and against the tax were stated. Ameng the- reasons urged for the retention of the tax was that its abolition, in face of the opposition of the Secretary of the Treasury, would be equivalent to a vote of want of confidence in that officer, which would, under ke circum- stances, in England, cause the Ministry to retire at once. But the Senate evinced a willingness to submit even to the infliction of such a disaster as Secretary Boutwell’s resignation, and passed the bill by a majority of one. It applies to the Income tax of 1870, the repeal taking effect from the 81st of December, 1869. As the tax on sala- ries of government officials was deducted up to the 1st of July, 1870, it would appear to be but just and proper that the amount so exacted from them should be refunded. The bill will now go to the House, where its success is not sovery assured. There is a preponderance of members from the Western and Southern sec- tions, and from the raral districts generally, whose constituents, not being liable in any considerable number to the payment of this tax, are quite willing and desirous that it should be retained, on the principle that we oan usually bear our neighbor's sufferings with Christian fortitude, These Representatives have hitherto opposed the abolition of the in- come tax, and will probably continue to do so, We trust, however, that the all but unanimous expression of public opinion on this subject will have its effect on the Hense, and lessen the opposition to this measure of public justice and good policy. The only other business done by Congress yesterday was the passage of the Pension Ap- propriation bill in the Senate and the eon- sideration of the Indian Appropriation bill in the House, Among the miscellaneous matters that came up in the House during the morning hour was a bill reviving the old bounty land system, ostensibly for the benefit of the soldiers of the late war, but really for tho piofit of the land sharpers and the further | diminution of the national domain, Toe Worrr Mareracticg Casx.—A jury has finally been found which, through judicious bolstering up on the partof Judge Bedford, has felt bold enough to render a verdiot of guilty against one ef the almost invulnerable abortionists of this city. Such a verdict was rendered against Wolff yesterday, but it was coupled with a recommendation to mercy, which only the righieons indignation of an up- right judge prevented the jury from insisting upon. Manslaughter in the second degree is the name given to the crime, and for this Judge Bedford sentenced the prisoner Ao seven years in the State Prison, This is the first conviction and sentence of the kind, and will doubtless make the future look rather doleful to that other fiend, Dr, Evans, who is now out on straw bail, and his coadjutors in the outrageous business.

This work is a narrative of @ scientific expedili®a from Williams’ College to the tropical regions of ; South America, and It ts certainly one of the most } entertaiming books of travel we have had brought to our notice for along time.

Af last the head waters of the Amazon are reached, and the voyage down that notable river forms one of the most interesting portions of the narrative.
