THE TAX BILL. ic C'hiuiKW ami AiiiuimIiiiciiIn MiiiIc by tlio Senate Ye*ter?lnj. Washington, July 20.?In the .Senate day, the tax bill was taken up, the pendg amendment being to strike out the ?visions repealing the tax on bank capil and deposits, bank checks, drafts, etc. j Mr. Voorheea denounced the bill asauj lious pieco of favoritism in behalf of ivileged classes. It had been concocted pon the hccis of jthe session by the Itetblican majority to serve a partizan pur)se. After a debate between Messrs. Voor;es and Uarison, MrJJoncs, of Louisiana, ibmitted figures showing the small olits realized from the culture and anufacturo of sugar. One of the best ops of late years amounted to 210,000,000 mnds of sugar, which at 7A cents realized 8,000,000. Molnsses from this sugar ould be worth SI,000,COO more, making o value of the product $22,000,000. The ist of making this crop was $20,000,000 im-H icu c-,uw,vaaj iirum ui -j pur CCUl \ the capital invested. Any serious reduction of price would enil such loss in the receipts as would wipe it entirely the profits. If the proponed it of 25 per cent was made, and when the riir is revised another reduction of 25 ;r cent, this would destroy the planting terest altogether. The question whether deposits are the operty of the hank or the depositor was :re discussed by Messrs. Camden, Bayd and Beck, in opposition to the peudiug nendment.and by Saunders in favor of it. pgntived 5 to 45. The allirmativo vote is George, Gorman, Saulsburv, Vance id Williams. The Senate committee amendment to the st section as amended by a reduction of x on tobacco, was then agreed to; yeas, ; nays, 9; and the question recurred on e remainder of the section. The portion adopted Axes the tax on anufaetured tobacco after January 1, S3, at 12 cents per pound, and provides at the repeal of taxes on capital and debits of banks and bankers shall not affect ch taxes as are now duo and payable, id that the repeal of tne stamp tax on ink checks, drafts, orders nnd vouchers, all not tako effect uutil October 1st next. 10 bill then went over uutil to-morrow. A NENN.1TIOX. n onvr to Trove llio Arrrplance of KnortnoiiN IlrlbcM by CoiitcrcMNiucn. Washington', July 20.?There is a sensajn browing in Congress. A letter has icn written by one J. J. Newell, formerly Adrian, Mich., in which ho declares that > has documents, books and papors to ove that no less than ?2,000,000, in oncy, stocks ana bonds, were furnished r ft pool in 1868 to 1870 to securo the pasgo of tho bill making tho land grant to o Texas Pacific railroad. 115h communition is very voluminous and makes speci; allegations, withholding only tho names persons involved. He says that $90,000 money and $200,000 in stock were placed tho hands of two Senators to disburse hero it would do tho most good in that >dy. It was properly placed, so that rentually the grant was made, lie alleges so that $1,000,000 in stock was used to iss tho bill in tho IIoubc. He asks the committee to name a day hen he can be heard and he will demon fltrate that an investigation should be ordered. lie plodgcs himself to furnish the names of the men who disbursed and accepted the bribes and to prove the transaction by documentary evidence. Some of tho committee are for stilling the inquiry, but it is understood that a majority aru in favor of hearing what Newell has to offer. Tho Question is pertinent, owing to tho fact tho Texas Pacific never did any work to earn the lands, but has since been consolidated in the Gould-Huutinirton I Southwestern system, and a bill is pending I to confirm the grant to tho consolidated roads. NT A It HOIITK TRIAL. The l>ny Taken U|? Willi Argument? ItrcWNter In Court. Washington, July 20.?In tlio Criminal Court this morning Mr. Ingersoll resumed tho argument for defendants in tho Star Itouto cases on tho admissibility of Walsh's evidence. Mr. Ingersbll atlirnied three propositions, first?that tho confession of a fellow conspirator cannot be accepted against an associate; second?that the confession canuot bo used against himself until the conspiracy has been otherwiso proved ; and third?that tho confession of acts not done in furtherance of tho objects of the conspiracy cannot bo received. He argued these noints briefly and was followed by Mr. Wilson on the same side. At the conclusion of Mr.Wilson's remarks General Henkle took up the argument, and while ho was speaking Attorney General Brewster entered ti e court room nnd took a seat at tho prosecution table. After licnkle's speech Mr. Merrick roso to make his argument Mr. Merrick was interrupted in his argument by tho Attorney General, who was nhnnt to Irnvo nnnrl u*l?n fnrnitin.

I Mr. Brewster said, "It is only by com* pulsion and other engagements that I have been prevented from taking an active part in the case at all." "We have gotten along very well," said tho Court. "I am sure you have done better than most people expected," replied tho Attorney General as he left the room. ilr. Merrick then continued argument until the recess and resumed it alter the recess. At tho close of some remarks by Mr. Chandler, which closed the argument upon the question for both sides, the court adjourned. The decision will probably be rendered to-morrow. limine Proceeding*. Washington, July 20.?Calkins called up a resolution offered yesterday reciting that it had been asserted by Blackburn that a mistake made by the tally clerk in footing the roll call was' a falsification of the record, and directing a special committee to inquire into the matter.

After some debate the resolution declaring the seat vacant was adopted?yeas, 145; nays, 1. Mr. Townsend immediately moved to adjourn, but the motion being opposed by the Republicans was voted down.

Rule 0110 of'thciinvigation laws, relativoto passing steamers signaling, was loudly denounced and a resolution was unanimously adopted asking Secretary Folger to have it repealed. "The Scioto disaster," said CapL Mich aeles, "was, in my opinion, due to the recent change in the signals, as much as to any other cause. The new law on this j point reversed the time honored order of I things, and it ought to be repealed. We shall pass resolutions to that elFect anyhow." j This feeling seemed unanimous, and Capt. Deviuney was quoted, in saying that j the man whoso vote decided the change in the old law, had never been aboard a j Western steamboat and seemed totally ignorant of the mischief he was doing. | I'crjiirnI IitHttrniico OfllrerK.

Paksons, Kan., July 20.?An incident occurcd hero Monday which has been tho means of vindicating the reputation of a former teller of tho First National Bank of this city. Five yeare ago, when Angell Matthewson chartered the First National Bank, he employed Kirby Smith as teller. Smith hold tho position for two years, when tho bank passed from the control of Mr. Matthewson to Robert Stevens. Owing to his elllciency Smith was retained. At tho end of six months, however, something occured to shako tho bank directors' confidence in their teller, resulting in his resignation. At that time Matt Thornton, a colored man, was employed about tho bank as janitor. It was Thornton's habit to go to tho bank early in tho morning to sweep out and dust Matt was of a curious turn of mind, that nrompted him to investigate matters in tho bank whenever ho was there by himself. Upon the morning of November 14, 1870, ho peeped into the cash drawer, and discovered theroa $1,000 nark. ago of (greenbacks. The package he took, and consequently when the books were balanced that day the cash was $1,000 short. No one connected with tho bank could account for tho disappearance of the money. Thornton was questioned, but no satisfaction-was gained from him. Detectives from St. Louis were nut to shadowing both Smith and the janitor, but failed to establish any clew. Smith was not suspected by tho bauk directors of being responsible for tho shortage, but was given to understand that he was expected to make up the deficiency, which he did and at the same time handed in his resignation both of which were accepted. Smith's friends always maintained his innocence, while another faction felt satisfied that he was responsible for the shortage. Thus the matter has stood for three years, and would probably be shrouded in mystery forever had not tho rule held gooil that people will give themselves away providing they are given time to to talk. The janitor kept his secret for awhile, but finally made a confident of John Boland, a porter at the Belmont House. Boland, in return for his friend's confidence, insisted on having half the spoils or he would give the tiling away. Thus Thornton was compelled to whack up. Poland has a farm near Kmporia, which ho rented to another colored man. To this man Boland confided tho secret. All went smoothly until Boland and his tenant had a falling out, when the tenant sought revenge and came to Parsons, went before au ofiicer, and made a statement of what Boland had told him concerning the taking of tho money. This led to the arrest of Thornton and Boland, who are in custody charged with robbinir the First Na tional Bank of $1,000. Tho money will be collected from Boland. Thus the vindication of Kirby Smith is complete. His friends are very much elated over the turn matters have taken, and declare that every effort shall be made to restore to him the money which he put uji to make good the $1,000 stolen by the janitor. CITKTIN' VAHK. A Decision or Iutcrnit to Civil Service RefbriucrN. Nkw Yokk, July 20.?The case of General Newton M. Curtis, au ex-Treasury Agent, convicted in the United States Circuit Court for collecting money from officeholders for political purposes, came up again to-day, when a decision wan rendered by the court in banc, composed ol Judges Wallace, Benedict and Brown, on a motion for a new trial and in arrest oi judgment. The decision is in effect thai an act of Congress, prohibiting Government officials from collecting money for political purposes, is constitutional, and therefore the motion in arrest oi judgment and for a new trial is denied. Curtis was sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000. Counsel for Curtis intends to carrv the case tc the Supreme Court General Curtis' counsel said that he would not defer making application for a writ of luibcan corpus later than to-morrow. Should Chief Justice Waito grant the writ ho will determine whether he will hear the argument himself or make it returnable before a full bench in Washington. The application for the writ will be made to further test the constitutionality of the act of Congress under which Gen. Curtis was convicted. Khoe 1-aNtprn* Ntrike.

THE PI.ATFOKM. i The following platform was adopted: Tho Democratic party in convention assembled reaffirms the great principles | which are the foundation of afreegoverni ment, among which are equal rights to all, ?pcciui privileges 10 none; protection of 1 the weak against the encroachments of the j strong, equal taxation, free speech, free press, free schools, ami first of all a free and incorruptible ballot, limited, That we favor honest reform in ' civil service, and denounce the extortion of money from officeholders to corrupt the ballot aiid control the elections as a most threatening, as it is the most insidious danger that besets a free government, and the shameless resort to such methods by the party in power to carry out ends is* evidence of the utter abandonment of principle .for place and spoils under "Boss" rule. We denounce the reckless extravagance and profligacy of the Republican party in the appropriation of the public treasure, which should be applied to the extinction of the National debt, and wo be* lieve the time has come when by an honest and-economical administration of the Government, the burden of war taxes, which the people have so long borne, and which, in the end, fall upon labor, may, and ought to be reduced: but we denounce the attempt of the Republican Congress to reduce the taxes , on those articles which uionu win inuru me uenciit 01 me ricb. Jtetohcd, That wo favor a tariir levied to meet the actual needs and so adjusted in its detail with a view to equality in public burdens, as to encourage productive industries and afford labor a just compensation without creating monopolies. JietoliYd, That stability in the value of money is a primary requisite to industrial and commercial prosperity. This can only be secured by maintaining both gold and silver as money, as provided by the Constitution, and subjecting the issue and regulation of paper money to established principles which will prevent fluctuation in the value of the currency. Hmhrd, That the growth of monopolies is such as to seriouBly threaten the rights of individuals and the public welfare, and ought to be provided agaiust by proper legislation. Jlmlvedi That the Democratic party has ever maintained and still steadfastly adheres to the doctrine of the largest liberty consistent with the public welfare, and is opposed to legislation merely sumptuary. Jimlved, That it is a duty incumbent on our Government to protect its citizens, na tive uorn ana naturalized, at homo and abroad, and wo demaud a searching inquiry into the alleged outrages committed against the citizens of the United States in foreign countries. A ratification meeting was held this eveninc, addressed by Senator Pendleton and others. TIIB STATE COMMITTEE 0 KUAN" 17. AT ION*.
