After a fehort executive session, the Senate, at 5:10 o'clock adjourned until to-morrow. j ! i HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. As soon as the routine business of the House was disposed of the Urgent Defi ciency bill was taken up in Committee of the Whole upon motion of Mr. Breckin ridge. An I effort was made to agree upon a limitation of general debate. The opponents cf the item appropriating money to make the income tax law ef fective andj of the item increasing the appropriation for payment of special pension agf-nts and Mr. Breckinridge could not 4ome to terms, however, and the discussion was begun under the rules. Mr. Birtlett discussed at some length the legal features of the income tax, with a viewj to demonstrating its uncon stitutionality and invalidity. ! ( Mr. McMillin, the author of the income tax feature of the Tariff bill, replied to Mr. Bartlett discussing the latter's asser tion thit the income tax was unjust. ;'Why 'unjust?" asked Mr. McMillin. "Whence tide injustice? Whom doe3 it hurt? He ays it falls upon the poor man, because Ins rent will be-increased. The poor rnan is paving it now. He will not be in any worse condition if the taxation .. is put on some other things than clothes and other necessaries of life. Man should pay to the support of the Government "that blesses him, that protects him, ' in pro portion to the blessings he .receives through the protection of his property. If he has got a big estate, then he should pay a big ta?. If toe has got a little estate he should pay a little tax, and thej man wit'a $1,000 Income ought not to pay the same tax to the support of the govern ment that isipaid by the man who has $10,000,000 of income. To illustrate the point here, I shall depart from my usual course. In the whole of theee discus sions, Mr. Chairman, I have never i been in the habit of using on the floor of the House as an illustration or otherwise the names of individuals. But in order to show the flagrant wrong that is done by a system, or taxation under which we have been living. I will call your attention, to the name of one man which is iiot unfamiliar to j many of you and certainly not to every citizen of the State and city of New York. I pppak of Mr William Waldorf !Astor. This gentleman ran for Congress once against theHpresent Governor of j New York (Mr. Flower) and was defeated, and permitted that defeat to do for, bm what no man ought to permit to be done iff this country that is, it soured and embittered him against the Government of the United States, and out institutions generally. He rnoved. abroad, and, not t - ',1 !.! 1 3 i content with jwhat he could say against America himself and our American in-; stitutions, hejpurchased one of the able3t journals in the great Government of Great Britain, He lives there i now. and this owns and newspaper ! wmca ne controls is doing) its worst against our institutions. And yet Mr. Chairman, the income ef this man, I am eredibly informexl on j what I believe to be good authority, derived from property in New York is more than $5,000,00 J a year, and be noes not pay (he dots pay a State tax, ne does pay a county tax, and he does pay a municipal tax, it is true the Government of the United States; a dollar and has not paia ten dollars in ten years, although he has tbjs colossal fortune which is protected1! by our army and defended by our navy. Now, we say, Ithat notwithstanding his j Highesi of all In Lcs iveninc; Powen- foreign residence, he should be compelled to pay something to the support of the Government that blesses and protects his vast estate in this country. Further along Mr. McMillin became engaged in a colloquy with Mr. Cockran regarding the effect upon the Govern ment revenues of a reduction of tariff rates, which concluded with the admis sion by Mr. McMillin that he did not be lieve that the Wilson bill as framed would have the effect to raised the reve nues necessary to carry on the Govern ment without the income tax measure. Mr, Henderson, of Iowa, took the floor to defend the appropriation, but yielded most of his time to Mr. Cockran, of New York, who argued that the in come tax legislation, that is leveled against prosperity and success in life, is un-Democratic, is un-American, is revo lutionary, is Anarchistical, and ought to be condemned as it has been by the American people. Applause "The gentleman from Tennessee says he in sists that ajl men shall bear their pro portion of taxation. Why, then does he limit this tax to 85,000 persons? W hy is it that this system of taxation sets aside a small portion of the population and forces them to bear all this burden? Mfake this tax universal. When thebill was read under the five minute ruleMr. Bartlette moved to strike out the item appropriating $245, 05 for the collection of thexincome tax. A vote was taken by tellers and resulted yeas 51; nays 127. When the item for $250,000 for special pension agents was reached, Mr. Hender son, of Iowa, moved that the amount be reduced to $125,000. Pending acton on this amendment the committee rose and the House ad journed. s Deplorable 'Condition of Convicts. Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 12. A very startling Btory is told by an officer about the unavoidable condition of , things at the Ohio ' penitentiary. There are now 2,100 convicts confined there, only about 1,000 of them being at work, the balance remaining in the idle house. This con dition was brought about by the warfare waged against convict made goods by labor organizations. The Legislature last winter jossed a law requiring all prison made goods to ba labeled as such, thu almost completely shuttings them out of the market. This made it neces siry for the big contractors to give up convict labor, andx one result is that more thanlialf the prisoners are idle. While they were at work the big prison was more than self-sustaining, but now it is running away .behind, xBiSides this, while the convictswere xat work many of them earned considera ble moneyby overwork. Thisx was either sent to their relatives or held for them.
