grees, and at once eugagad the seriotis attention of the
people of tbs oountry wuerever it cou d reach, in the
f.ee as weld an in the border s.avo States. In Congress
the whole subject was referred to select committees of
either Ho :se. Tho comu'..ito? of tha Hc,s,e was com
poee't of uliio racaibaro, 14 of whom were repiesenta
tives of slave States, who *?:? lnstrtieted to inijulre
whether.any plan caa be propo-sd and leetmmocded for

Maryland, Tlrginia: Kentucky, Tonnesdoe anl Miusouri,
by the people or local acthorit.es thereof. These 00m.
rait'ecs reported, and recommended s joint resolution in
the exact words of that submitted by tho President, with
the Hiuenamrut "(hat the United Statea," Ka., not
"thatCougresa,'' &c. In lue House tho resolution was
proDOuucsd au uncon&titnlional abeurdity. A. motion to

The Joint resolution vraa subsequently passed by both
houses, and received tbs signs.ere of the President on

Tho most Important sdranee in the general move

by a vote of 29 to Id, and tha Huudo by a vote
of 92.to 38. and received the signature of tho Presi

one million of dollars?or so much thereof as maybe
necessary?for the compensation of loyal masters, and'
In addition, one hundred thousand dollars for tho coloni
sation beyond tbs limits of tbs United States of those
persons set free by the bill who desire to emigrate. A
motion to submit tho question fo the slaveowners of the
District was rejectod tn tho Senate
This bill of emancipation at the seat of government
was followed by several other measures of ameliors: Ion
for the colbred population of the Dlstriet. Some of these
emanated in the Senate, others from the well known
friesde of tha colored race In tha House. One
act of lagislation parsed either house w ith little or no
opposition, though It was anathematized by a nunrerona
body tn Washington and Georgetown; Including the mu*
nlcipel fa.hers uf the same. Th.s la tho bill for the
ed -cation of colored children The bill makee it
the duty of the municipal authorities of. Wash

of schools and colleges tu which their children wore de

ir It were jMreslble to present it h?re. It too iguiatce a
etu[>endii'iB system of taxation, rln- ilar it itascope to
that prevailing in fiigland, but imposing a much lower
eerie of duties. Thus It impoaea exoiae dulivs on all tmilt
an l spirituous Uqu1 rs. and on ell nisnulacturea; reou.ree

po.es &n incomo tax at the rate of 3 par cent on all la
eoni s from $600 to $10,000, and of 5 per cent on all in
corces above $10 on0. As some mUunuorsUndiug pre
vails on this subject, we think It proper to give our con
struction of it?which is, that a person with an income
of $3,000 is liable to an mcoino tax of $72 (3 per cent
on $2,400), and a persun with ui ir.c me of
$12,000 U liable to an income tax of $382 (3
par cunt on $9,400, and 6 per cent on $2,000)
The oplcl o prevails that in the latter case the income
tax would be $070 (5 per cent on $11,4u0), but w? think
that that is not tho intention of mo bill, as such a con
struction or It wouid bo manifestly unjust, t'bder It, for
tnstance, while the tax on $10,000 a year would be only
$232, the tax on $10,210 would bo j.lcO. In other words,
it would take the whole dlffsrenue between the two in
comes to pay the dillerence between the two taxes. The
