11-c House of Representatives adjourned over from
fn lay to Monday. Passing the amendment to the
r..ristitution was such a grand work that they had to
•e.-i alter it. It is remarkable to what a low ebb in
...nit of ability this House, that in the olden time
to be a nursery of names that our own annals
it least would not willingly let die, has fallen. Medi-

reached the conclusion, while the industrial employ
mente must remain, to a considerable extent, heavily
burdened, that it can yet be dispensed with. By its
terms as originally passed, it was to expire in 1870,
and thus a temporary character was put upon its face.
In our great emergency it contributed—not to be re
turned again with interest—a larger amount^than the
richest banks in England would have loaned to us
even at sixty per cent, discount. Our loyal people
paid the income tax of 1863 in June, of $20,740,451 33
cents, and then estimated, upon the same list, they
were called upon in four months to pay another in
come tax, and they responded by contributing $28,-
929,312. Again in 1864 their income tax foots up $54,-
000,000. I point to these facts not only as a proud
evidence ol their patriotism and wealth, but as a proud

part of the permanent policy of the country, it is not
to bo denied that it would need various and per
haps fundamental amendments. Tho objections to
such laws are sufficiently obvious. First.

democratic institution, its still, steady ! tur - aud Americans, like people elsewhere, though not

‘ make statements and lend to these statements the
sanction of an oath, teuds to undermine public morals
until men begin to excuse themselves for their owu
wroug doing, because it beiug so common that to do
otherwise would be to fail in* average smartness.
Third, when we take into consideration the sources
from which income is derived, the habitudes of tho
different persons who paj r the tax, the difficulty of ap
portioning it so that each will have paid in just pro
port iou to every other person, leaving each relatively
m e of statesmanship was wont to be heard. It is
.elancholy to witness the dwarfing of the country's
itellect. Motenatism grows with startling rapidity,
but the great gift of governing well, what we call
niansbip, dwindles in this hall of the nation like
ly plant. What a sad commentary ou the work
q.t there by bayonets. And yet this man, uncon-
. iis nf the abhorence with which all good men must
r k upon him, walks about without a blush,
ih. fate of the amendment in the Senate is not per-
ictly dear. Sumner defeated the main feature of the

The Senate have had a long debate over the amend-
: .it-ut t<» tho Post Office Appropriation bill, to restrict
president's power of removal from office, which
iBiandmcnt was struck from the bill, but everything
Ue has been introduced into the debate besides the
abject of the amendment. Mr. Howard, in his speech
imteriniuablo length yesterday, insisted that tho
I atbern States were not iu the Union aud could not
„ until Congress admitted tin m. Only a few of the
iilualsavow this position, though they all act as if it
a* true. The fact is, there are only two positions
t »the Southern States—they are either States
, Futon, entitled to every right secured iu the
institution, or they are Territories with no rights as
tutes. The Congress, on tho amendment to the Con-
atution now pending, go upon the theory that they
\ valid States with lawful Legislatures, but not in
effect relation, politically, with the Federal Goveru-
ent. This position is simply ridiculous. If they
states, as the amendment concedes they are, for
xpurpose of amending the.Constitution, the high
er. manifestation possible of State rights, then, of
. urse, they are States for the purpose of having rep-
mutation in Congress.

The Captains Fry intend in a few days to com
mence putting up a steamer at the Navy Yard iu this
place. No name has yet been determined on. Tho hull
of a small steamer to be called, we understand, “Gene
ral Grant,” has beeu laid below the Navy Yard a short
distance, and near the river bank. It is intended for
the chilopa river, is ext remely small, is being built
by a Mr. Smith, a mechanic of this city, aud will carry,
we are informed, somewhere in the neighborhood of
one hundred and fifty bales of cotton.—Colunxbus
Sun, 11th.
The Cotton Chop.—We hoar of a number of plan
ters iu this neighborhood who have ploughed up con
siderable cotton fields and pl&nted them iu corn. Some
seed did. not come up at all; others sprouted and
quickly died. Heed is extremely difficult to procure,
aud that two, or even one year old, appers to be un
reliable. Some farmers have laid by ” large por
tions of good land that gave no promise of cotton..—

r ^ lated by recent rains, Is another impediment If the
in the same conditions, the perplexities become al- ! "’^ole country be like this, he must be au idle dream-
- - - 1 er who thinks of two millions of bales beiug raised
by next fall.—Ibid.
Scarcity of Labor.—We understand that labor is
so scarce along the river that large planters are offer
ing at the present Time one-fourth of the comiug crop
for field hands. Almost every one speaks gloomily of
the future. The unwillingness of negroes to have the
women to work in the field .redudes the number of
productive laborers fully oue-third. In tunes ‘of
emergency tasks cannot bo forced no w, as formerly.
most insurmountable. Enteitaiumg such views, and
the present exigencies having passed, we have
undertaken to lessen but not to entirely remove
the weight of the income tax. To this end we pro
pose to exempt the first thousand dollars of every per
son from any tax, and only to reach auy excess beyond
that amount. This will increase the sum exempt
from six hundred dollars to one thousand dollars. Ex
actly how much of a deduction it will make in our re
ceipts cannot be foretold, but probably uot over from
teu to fifteen per cent, while it is likely to diminish
tho number of persons taxed nearly one half. If it
should excuse fifty tbousaud persons, then the re
duction would amount to a million dollars for every
such fifty thousand persons./There is, perhaps, no
just reason for excusing any portion of the income
of any one from the tax except that of the hardship or
the inability of persons with a limited income to spare
auy part of it. But in a Repulican form of govern
ment the true theory is to make no distinctions as to
pers'ous in their rates of taxation, recognizing no
class for special favors ; we ought not to create a class
of Fpecial burdens. 3 , ursuiug this principle, the ma
jority of the Committe of Ways anil Means ha\e
agreed to that portion of the bill which makes the in
come tax after this year a uniform one of five per
centum upou the aunual gaius. The loss of the rev
enue will be large, about $17,900,000, audit will be
for the House to say whetherJho bill shall stand as
reported, or whether relief iu auy other direction is
more urgently demanded. In our list of exemp
tions we strove to reach earliest those articles upon
which a reduction of cost could briug belief to the
masses of our people; and those reduced are such as
have so small margins of profit as to bo oppressed
and iu danger of being annihilated by oven so small a
tax as five or even three per cent, whicli tax is uot
