The Republican members of Congress have caucussed upon the question of reducing the internal revenue taxes, and have decided that it Is not advisa ble at present to interfere with the tax on spirits, tobacco, cigars, &c, but re frained from expressing an opinion on the abolition or reduction of taxes on other articles now subject to tax. There are political reasons for this action. The repeal of the tax on these articles would of course wipe out the occupation of the vast number of men who constitute the internal revenue force, nearly every one of whom is a useful agent in carrying out the schemes of the leaders of the Republican party. They are, so to speak, the right arm of that party, and their los3 would be an irreparable one to it. The victories of the Republican party for years past were won mainly through the active services of, and the organization effect ed through the instrumentality of the revenue department, which had its ser- vantsin every locality, and required every one of them to be a worker for the party. In the South they have been and are to-day the main dependence of that party, and if they were legislated out of existence officially, the party would be practically without any or ganization in this section. As the sys tem stands now on the approach of an election for President or members of Congress, when it is thought important to influence results, the. number of revenue men may be indefinitely in creased and where they may be made useful, men are picked up and appoint ed temporarily drawing pay from the government for the political Services they render. This has been carried on to such a scandalous extent in the South that it has attracted the atten tion of the most indifferent observers. We have felt the power of the revenue gang in this State in every general elec tion that has .been held since the war, and whenever we have sustained a de feat we could trace it to the active work and powerful influence of that agency. It is a powerful political ma chine and the men that run it know its power. , The men who sat in the cau cus to which we alluded in the begin ning of this article, know, too, how use ful it i3, and hence were not disposed to favor legislation that would deprive their party of such efficient workers who had rendered such good service in the past and who could be counted on for much good service in the future. Kepublican politicians may favor the abolition of some taxes, but to expect them to disturb the pleasant relations that exist between whiskey, tobacco, cigars, &c, and the Republican party, at the present time or in the near fu ture is expecting too much. They won't do it. on a mirror caught fire, creating a little panic, among the audience. Rut Rossi pulled dowii the &cy extinguished the fire, and then stepping to the-front of the stage remarked in a side voice, ap parently confidentially to those on the front seatVeet ees all right; eet ees in ze play," which restored confidence and the play proceeded. Though only forty-five ye;us of age, Jacob R. Shipherd has served an ap prenticeship in m my schools that teach cunning and chicane. He began as a preach, served a few months in the army, was elected president of the Freedman's Union Aid Commission, in Chicago. After the war he founded a religious weekly newspaper called The Advance, which he soon gave up to establish a real estate office in Chicago, and was next heard of at Long Island as a railroad president and land specu lator. Failing in all these pursuits he studied law and was admitted to trie bar. His last venture was as president of that stupendous bubble, the Peru vian Company. inTjongress.

A ngro was arrested in Macon, Ga the other day while engaged in the peaceful avocation of making coun terfeit nickels. The courts of Ohio do not recognize the grave-yard insurance business which was so extensively carried on in Pennslvania. Hinton Rowan Helper, formerly of this State, now a resident of St Louis, keeps pegging away at his Three Americas Railway project. A misplaced figure in the special from Washington yesterday, about the vote on Cooper's confirmation in the Senate made it read 42 against in instead of 24, as it should have been. The act authorizing the punishment at the whipping post of wif e-Deaters has passed both branches of the Maryland legislature, and only waits the signature of the Governor to become a law. Augusta Chronicle: It will be news, to most of our readers at any rate, that the Pef uvian Company, which so nearly caused a war between the United States and Chili, was organized under a Georgia charter. Shipherd states that they obtained this charter because it offered such extraordinary advantage. A Boston company claims the owner ship of a patent which covers the use of glucose as an ingredient in the man ufacture of candy, and are notifying confectioners to this effect. The con fectioners, however, in some cities, are pot disposed to recognize the Boston monopoly and are going to contest it. The Boston Post grimly remarks that it is a gross violation of property to put the cost of champagne, brandy, cocktails and cigars into a bill for funeral expenses; that they belong un der the head of stationery. The diffi culty was that a stationery establish ment could not be conveniently con ducte'd on a Pullman palace train. A ranchjof 8,600 acres, located near Bexar county, Texas, is used for the breeding of saddle ponies. There are on the ranch forty-five Shetland mares and one hundred Zacatecas ponies, all for breeding" purposes. The Zacatecas spotted Mexican ponies are a small, hardy face, raised ki the mountains of Mexico, and universally good saddle ponies. The Shetland, Arab and Zaca tecas ponies are hardy as goats, cost no more to raise, -and are very gentle. The Senate Passes the Life-Saving Ser vice Bill and Resumes the Tariff Dis cussion. The House Talks Over the Mississippi Improvement and Takes np the Private Calendar. Washington, March 24. Senate. Vest, from the committee on territories, reported -favorably Maxey's bill to au thorize the President, in conjunction with the State of Texas, to lay out and mark the boundary lines between a part of the territory of the United States and the State of Texas, and to complete the survey authorized by the act or 1858. After a speech from Sherman in which he cited the recent decision of the Supreme Court in sugar coloring cases as a striKing evidence oi me necessity for a geneal revision of tariff legislation, an arrangement was effect ed by which the general debate on the bill is to close at 4 o'clock Tuesday, af ter which amendments may be offered under the 5 minute rule for debate. The bill was then laid aside informally. The Chinese bill was received from the House and signed by the President pro tern., the bill having previously re ceived the signature ot tne Speaker of the House, now to the President. After executive session, adjourned until Monday. House Robinson called attention to the rule which provides that a com mittee shall report back resolutions calling for departmental information within eight d;tys and to the fact that the resolution referred to the commit tee on foreign affairs relative to the imprisonment of American citizens in Great Britain had not as yet betn acted upon. How long, he queried, will,we neglect our citizens lying in jail ? Williams, of Wisconsin, chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, said he felt authorized to state that com munication was being constantly had with the government of Great Britain by the State department, and it was un derstood that in a few days the com mittee would be able to make an intel ligent report on the resolution. Robinson: If something is not done and our minister has not demanded his passport, I shall move impeachment. Wilson, of West. Virginia, a member of the committee, stated that the reso lution had not yet been reported back because the committee desired to ob tain all necessary information. There were no laches on the part of the com mittee. Robinson replied that that would make his question of impeachment un necessary. The House then proceeded to the con sideration of private business. The Senate spent a large portioa of t! ie morning hour upon the life-saving service bill. The Florida Senators insisted upon thermovisions for stations at points on tbfl Atlantic coast of Florida as fol lows: Key West, Jupiter Inlet, Cape Can avran and St. Augustine, and one on tb i Gulf coast near the mouth of Apa lach'icola river, five in all. Conger, in charge of the bill, argued that this was unnecessary and Jones replied that the record showed 104 wrecks on the '-oust line just indicated. The proposition was agreed to ayes 36; noes 17. An amendment was adopted limiting the pay of surfmen at $50 per month. The bill then passed yeas 36; nays 8. George asked and was granted an in definite leave of absence. Kellogg, La., from the committee on Mississippi River Improvements, to whom were referred the bill for im provement of the Mississippi and Mis souri rivers, ana tne Dili lor the con struction, completion repairing and preservation of the Mississippi levees reported that the committee had unani mously agreed upon a substitute for these bills. The substitute went to the calendar with notice by Kellogg that he' would ask their consideration at an early day. It is as follows: Be it enacted, &c, that the Secretary of War, with the advice and under the direction of the Mississippi river com mission, is hereby authorized and directed to expend the sum of six mil lion dollars, fivemilion thereof on the Mississippi river and one million there of upon the Missouri river in deepen ing the channels and improving the navigation of said rivers in accordance with plans recommended by the said commission, and said sum of six mil lion dollars is hereby appropriated out of any money in the treasury not other wise appropriated, for purposes afore said, and so much thereof as the Secre tary of War myf determine to beneces sary is hereby made immediately avail able, provided that no part of said sum herein appropriated shall be used in the construction or repair of levees for the purpose of preventing injury to lands by overflow, or for any other purposes whatever except as means of deepening the channels or improving the naviga tion of said rivers.

Garland asked that all three bills be placed upon the calendar in order that there might be a fair fight over them in the Senate. So ordered. At ?:10 the tariff commission discus sion was resumed, and Miller, N. Y., proceeded to give some of the reasons for his belief in protection; reasons, he said, which were held by a ereat ma- improvement of the navigation and commerce of the Mississippi river and the construction of works of improve ment, $4,613,000 to be applied below the mouth ot the Ohio, $1,000,000 between the mouth of the Ohio and "the Illinois river, $500,000 between" the Illinois and Des Moines rapids and $750,000 be tween Des Moines rapids and Saint Paul. Referred to the committee of the whole. : The House then at 1 :10 p. m. went into committee of the whole on the pri vate calendar. ' T wo hours were consumed in the dis cussion of the first bill on the calendar referring to the Court of Claims the claims of the captain of the Ram Albe marle, when, at last, the bill was laid aside favorably. Another debate arose upon the next bill for the relief of the heirs next of kin of James B. Armstrong, the oppo sition to the. measure being based upon the fact that tne heirs were disloyal. tending action, tne committee rose and reported to the House the Albe- masle bill, when it was passed. The House then at 4:30 took a recess until 7:30. the evening session being for the consideration or tne pension Dili on tne private calendar. Popular Education in the South. Washington, March 24. The Senate and House committees on education and labor held a joint meeting to-day to hear arguments presented by the mem bers or the national educational con vention now in session in this city in advocacy of their appeal for a congress ional grant of immediate aid to the Southern States to supplement their efforts to provide for the educating of all chridren within their respective bor ders.

March 24. Frank and Henry Rumbergo, were hanged at 10.40 a m. for the murder and robbery of Daniel Troutmen in November, 1880.

One of the men closed his eyes as he was led from his cell and never opened them or spoke a word afterwards. The other had his eyes open but said noth ing. Neither showed a sign of fear.
