HOW THE TAX IS TO BE COLLECTED I THE ADOPTION OF THE REPORT OF THE RECONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE. c ,irespondence of the Charleston Courier.) WisnisOTOD, Tuesday Night, May 8, 1806. Tne House of Representatives, at its evening sea- nen lo-night, went to work in earnest on the new Tax jBili The first eight sections of the bill, which oom- Hoar It W'aa Forced Ihreugh. THE AMENDMENT AS PASSED. and as far W est aa St. Louis. It is prepared now to carry freights of all kinds, from the smallest packages to the heaviest boxes, and it announces to its friends and the community generally that it is ready to work as efficiently, aa axpaditloualy, and as cheaply aa any other company. , The difficulties which au express company haa now to encounter in the commencement ot its career are simply enormous, aud can only be overcome by un tiring patience, determined perseverance, and the ex penditure of large capital. In the attempt to obtain express facilities it la met on all sides and at every turn by the antagonism and opposition of other lead ing rival companies By the expenditure of large means, by the granting of loans, by the payment of bonus, these companies have managed to obtain ex clusive privileges over many routes, and to^perfect ar rangements whioh are very difficnltto interfere with. Starting with what was deemed ample capital, with numerous friends and with every apparent prospect of success, the National Express commenced by open ing a number of offices in different cities, and put ting ou a largo staff for the business that was pro mised. Freight came in even more rapidly than was anticipated, aud, as it turned out, iu larger quantities than ciuld be attended to. Routes, to be surs, wore opened, and advantageous contracts were made.

Tha manner in whioh this result was'brought about deeervea especial notice. It is a striking illustration of the old athige that "extremes meet."

Mr. Stevens then rose to close the de bate, and made an acrimonious, bitter, vindictive speech, in which he appealed to the passion, and ha tred of his fellow-member, to oppose any effort to change tbie proposition, lie then moved the pre vious question, slid the disgraceful game of the Dem ocrats was at once apparent. As on the passage of tlio District Suffrage bill, so ou this occasion the Copper heads came to Mr. Stevens' rescue to prevent any amendments to the joint resolution. Thero was a clear majority on the Republican aide iu favor of amending by striking out or changing the third sec tion. Mr. Stevens knew this, and summoned his Copperhead allies to sustain his demand for the pro- ma t*t upon cotton shall be levied by the Assessor j vious question. This they did, aud the demand was .1; the producer, owner, or holder thereof. And said ux .hail Do paid to the Collector of Internal Revenue sliblu and tor the collection district in whioh said cotlcE shall hava been produced, and before the same iball have been removed therefrom, except \yhero oirw.ae provided In this Act; and every Collector to --turn any tax upon cotton shall be paid, shall mark tss balsa or other packages upon which the tax shall lave been paid, in such manner as may clearly iudi- .,w the payment thereof, aud shall give to the owner .r.ther person having charge of such cotton a pormit hr the removal of the same, stating therein the naount aud payment of the tax, the time and place of pijmeut, und thu weight and marks upon the bales !t,j packages, so that the same may be folly identified; xafl it shall be the duty of every such Collector to Xo.p clear and sufficient records of all such ootton in- ipseted or marked, and of all marks and ldontiflca- ljus thereof, and of all permits for tht removal of it. iauie, aud of all his transactions l-elaling thereto; iti he shall make lull returns thereof, monthly, to the . aitnissioner of Internal Revenue, stc. 3. A nd be it further enacted, That the Com- Biislonsr of Internal Revenue is hereby authorized designate one or more places in each collection latnct where sn Assessor, or an Assistant Assessor, •id a Collector or Deputy Collector shall be located,’ od where cotton may- be brought for the purposo of ,-ita weighed and appropriately marked: Prodded, it shall be the duty of the Assessor or Assistant u»isor, and the Collector or Deputy Collector to «•- Kil and cause to be properly marked the sustained, nearly all tbe Democrats voting with Mr. Stevens. Then on ordering tho main question to be put, the yeas and nayB were demanded in order to get these Copperheads on the record. This frightened most of them, end at the close of the roll oall there was one majority against ordering the main question, whereupon such worthies as Jack Rogers of New Jer sey, Kerr and Niblack of Indiana, Eldridge of Wis consin, and Chatiler of New York, the rebel wing of the Democratic party In the House, either changed their votes from negative to affirmative, or asked that their votes be recorded, when the main question wut ordered by five majority. The Repoolicans then wheeled into solid line, aud passed the resolution by the Immense majority of 91 votes, the Copperhead faotion, powerless for further mischief, sneaking sway into their seats, and recording an insignificant vote against the proposition. By this coalition between the extremes tbe majority of the Union party in the House was prevented from changing the resolution means gave additional confidence to the stockholders, i perfection of art. and increased strength to the company. At the same — — - — time all extra expenses were curtailed, mors than haif the employees of tho company were discharged, and affairs were placed upon a thorough businoas footing, so that,' until the company was prepared to trauBport goods In a most efficient way, thore should be as littlo unnecessary expenditure ss possible. Meanwhile arrangements were pushed forward as quietly, but as rapidly as possible, and after some de lay the Philadelphia and Wilmington Railroad was Induced to grant to the company equal faoilitiea with those allowed to Adams'Express. Other connections of importance were also completed, and finally on Saturday last, a through connection to New York by express train was established. In the antioipation of tbe perfecting of these ar rangements, and to'prepare far the amounts which have necessarily to bs paid in advance to the different railroad companies for these privileges and for the purpose of having a fund on hand sufficient to meet ali contingencies, until the company becomes well known and its reputation as a most prompt and effi cient corporation is thoroughly established, a call of five per cent, haa been made ou the stockholders, pay able on the 10th instant. In tho 8outh, a large amount has been subscribed for by weak holders, who knew nothing of the difficulties with which the company would have to contend, and who had no idea that they would ever be called upon to pay more than the first assessment of five dollars per share. Many of these found it Inconvenient or impossible to respond to the Becond call of five dollars. Permission was given to them to consolidate their stock, and under this ar rangement several thousand shares were retired. The stock of thqse parties who have either fsilod to avail themselves of this permission, or to pay up their quotas, has been advertised for sale, and is to be sold to-day iu Richmond. The result of this will be that either au additional amount of stook will bo retired or an additional number of stockholders of means will be brought Into the company. The National Express is now, doubtless, established on a firm footing and iu efficient working order. It asks business from its friends, not merely because they are friends, but because it undertakes to work aa thoroughly and as promptly as any other express company.

This does not surprise us, when it is known that such men were ou that jury as Wardwali, "cold, icy man;’’ "trustworthy" Dudley, and somebody calling himself “B. Davis," and two other creatures—Wm. N. Tinaley and W. Fay—all known here in Richmond as members of tbo notorious "Ferret Club," aworn to hang Jefferson Davit if possible. These creatures were ordered to Norfolk by Underwood for the occa sion and to accomplish tbe purpose. The infamous deed being accomplished tbe con clave dispersed, with the notice that they would con vene in this city on the 26th proximo, when doubt less, Mr. Davis’ trial will take plaoe. Since the days when Conrts and Juries were first instituted, no case on record will excite so much interest as the trial of this representative man of the South. The eves of all the civilized world will be turned to that Jurv box. The impfetchment and trial of Warren Hastinrw will fall into utter insignificance ln comparison to the interest it will excite in the mind of the world. Many yearning hearts in the Sooth and abroad will be drawn instinctively to him. with the confidence that, should he be brought to trial by his enemies and persecutors, 'ha will bear himself as becometh a great man and th* 1st* chieftain of the Confederate States. ’ We have no fear for the reanlt. As for Wardwali, who is a party to tha finding of the Indictment, ha was disqualified by his already ex pressed prejudice in the ease. We heard him de clare, not longer than ten days ago, that if ha sat upon the jury that was to try Jeffenoa Davis, he would "hang him to tbs first tree that would bear hia Ibrmt" It is very clear that these men, composing th* Grand Jury of this Court, assembled with malioe afore thought, and brought ln the indictment a»a matter of course. —Richmond Examiner.
