Inquiry info the question has brought to light the fact thnt the er.lary of the President of the Uni ted States and the salaries of Federal Judges cannot be assessed for luxa tion under a law taxing incomes. The reason is a constitutional provision which declares that the salaries of thew officials pniio, be reduced during their term of iifTe.

A Question Tfcat lias to Zc Set tledDemocratic Representa tives Inclined to an EarJy Dis cnssim of the Snftject. Washington, Feb: 14.- There ia a crowing disposition among the dem ocrats of lboHou'a of Representa tives m favor of cailing up as erly as posslbla the proposition to repeal the tax on State banks. Tho South ern members especially believe that the time of .the House cannot be oc cupied better than in discussing and deciding upon a plan which, they heliave, will give the country a eafe rind elastic currency, in accordance with the party platform. Others are in favor of the nationnl banking sys tem as it exists at present, but all are agreed that the matter has to be teltled one way or another. No one wil! interpose any serious objections to the consideration of the question in the House. As yet the banking and currency committee has been unable to decide upon the form of a bill which it can recommend to the House. It decid ed by an adverse vote upon the bill prepared by Mr. Cox, of Tennessee, repealing tne tax unconditionally. that such a measure would not meet the exigencies of the case, but upon a less radical measure they are yet unable tq agree. Several proposi tions have been advanced, including that of Mr Springer, the chairman of the committee, and the more recent one prepared by Mr. Warner, of New York. Both of these, it is thought by their authors, place ample re strictions upon the banks to prevent the issuance of any currency which could, except under extraordinary circumstances, depreciate in value. while at the same time by placing the State banks upon an equal foot ing with the national banks they af ford them all the privileges to which they can properly be entitled. Mr. Warner's bill is a completion or tne plan agreed upon eariy m me session by the sub-committee of the banking and currency committee. It is not improbable that with some few changes it will bo reported to the House, T'u members of the banking and currency committee have felt since the beginning of the session tbat no matter what action they agree upon in the committee room, the House will discuss fully every phaso of the ques tion and formulate a scheme in ac cordance with the views of the ma jority. Nevertheless, the committee purposes presenting to the House as complete a plan for permitting State banks to issue currency as they can prepare. There is little deposition on the part either of the Irieods or oppo nents of the plan to act upon it pre cipitately. In order tbat it may re ceive l"no careful consideration that should be given it, it ia not likely to bo urged upon the House until after the appropriation bills have been parsed. Then, however, it will be taken up and kept before the body until disposed up. At present it is difficult to predict the reception likely to be accorded this measure. There is very strong feeling against tho proposed repeal of the tax unconditionally, but with regard to a repeal which would also pi a co sufficient restraint upon the bauks to insure tiie security of their notes, there seems to be but slight opposition. The dght whicu the bill is likely to occasion will probably be ou8 over details, ine extent of the pposition v, ill depend upon how perfectly these details are arranged' AllJancemen CJioose Tlsclr TSa- - tlonat Officers.

Durham Bun, 13th. : About six o'ctock yesterday even ing the attention of our people was attracted to a very black funnel shaped cloud that arose in a clear sky, in tho west toward sunset. It increased in volume and those who were nearest to it say it formed about four miles north of Chapel Hill; that when it first etarted it twisted around on the ground like a whirl wind, spreading out in a skirt-shape at the bottom and top with a small middlo. It had tbe appearance of an hour glass. Then it left the earth and seemed to lose its lower part, assuming the shape of a funnel, with the larger part at the top. It start ed off in an eastward direction and every now and then would dip down to the earth. In these dips it twist' ed up trees and everything in the line of its travel, gathering them up and whirling them around like pieces of paper. It traveled in a space of about one hundred yards wide, and fortunately missed towns and tbick- sstlfed places so far as wo have been able to learn. There was a terrible roaring sound, almost like thunder in fact some of our people thought it was thundor. To all appearances here it looked like the black smoke from a tar kilo boiling up and seething in the air. It was a terrible sight and struck terror to tnose who saw it coming and knew they were in its pathway The Sun enumerates a dozen houses that were blown down. No lives were lost. . Notice.
