The Direct Tax Bill, Which recently passed the House of Representatives by a large ma jority i. receives the following ex planation from the Philadelphia Recorl : . - "This direct tax was levied under an act of Congress passed ic 1861 for raising money to .carry on the civil war. The law imposed on the several btates yearly payments in proportion to their population : and alter one payment the law was res pealed. A'bout $15,000,000 was paid in, and this sum, with 15 per cent, commission, it is pioposad by the bill to return to the States. The. total amount is about $17,000,000, of which the National Treasury surplus would be relieved in order to create a needlees surplus in many otate ireaBuries. By passing this bill the House has recognized the policy of dis tributing the surplus in the Treasury aniiig the several States. Should it become a law some of the legi3la tiye jobbery that is attracted by needless accumulations of public money would be transferred from the National Capitol to the lobbies of the several State Legislatures, and the btates would also have their surplus, to attract, the cormorants that batten on public plunder.

Senator Vance has been annoyed at the criticisms which democrats in the House have made of the con duct of democratic Senators on the Senate Tariff bill, and in an inter view said: "To suppose the demo cratic members of the Finance Com mittee capable of analyzing the Senate bill and exposing its provis ions in four days is paying them a very high compliment indeed, es pecially when we remember the fact that the Ways and Means Commit tee took --iy about seven months to frame i .eir bill and pass it in the House.
