in tho matter of legislation during this wook Tho only business actually completed is tho Cotton Tax which should havo been finished tbe holidays The prospects for a long session are good and those individuals who prophesy an adjournment by the middle of May will find themselves deceived I if tho principal financial measures aro completed bj that timo and if tho da not find Con- gress in Session it be taxation is readjusted all finance questions settled and the everlasting tariff finished before that timo Aa for reconstruction that is settling Tho wheels of tho Congressional plan movd on wilh ths wheels of Time and if tho nnd Congress hands off tho States will bo into Iho Union by in- power and force of tho machinery now iu motion What it most of all now is to bo lot alone Tho cry for retrenchment lias been land and boon heard at tbo Capitol But I fear the result is not promising Tbo financial at the closo of the month Is not good Tho Treasury is behind and there is no cessation in Iho demands upon it Tbo efforts of Congress to cut down expenditures aro being stoutly con- tested by every special interest that ia touched Tho on Appropriations ia be- sieged by representatives of

Mr farce and and more loo tho suspending tho payment of tain of war claims Tins must become a law speedily or tho Treasury will bo swamped It was vigorously opposed by tho Bonier State men who contended in favor of paying the of loyal citizens inflicted cot only by but by onr own forces Thero arc enough such claims reudy for presentation to require a thousand millions of greenbacks lo pay thorn and thoy may ycl bo mode a powerful influence in favor of further inflation Mr and liis Committee aro cutting down tho departmental wherever they cm but find themselves r muted tne Marine Corps of the navy boing among ItOdo that hardest against tion though the Engineer Bureau of the Hamo deport equally opposed to the fact that the number or with only in com- mission w nearly equal to that of 350 of Trance Retrenchment and a general down of all the appropriations ia all the more necessary because of the very evident dis- position to cut down taxes to lowest sible limit This pressure is also very and wdl bo But if yielded to without a correspond ing reduction in the public the result will bo fatal to tbo credits of tho Government fact is that tho reduction of the public dobt that has taken place the post two and a half years Inu led people to that Iho Government was receiving more than ii needed and now when tho revenues are declining it is hard to convince them that must bo an equal in the expenditure The taxes will un- doubtedly be limited to as few articles as ble On manufactures thoy will bo very taken off except on a fow articles ed as Injuries such as ornamental furniture Ac Ac aro making slow progress Little or no headway has been tbU week and it Iocs not look now as though tbo Tax would ho reported before tbo first or middle of Commissioner WELLS suggestions on taxation are received very favorably by tho and his vant practical knowledge and research on tho sub- is of great advantage to not only tho Committee but to bolh Housoe of Congress There aro no subjects on which the ideas of our legislators aro more time thoso and taxation vary from a sal greenback kingdom down to a at any price and as an instance of how and broad some of notions are I will mention the fact that a member of one of tho Finance Committees tho other day expressed tho wish that our bonds might so depreciate in price that I hose held in Europe would bo re- turned and no more ever go abroad If the debt is allowed to increase by tho failure to re- duce expenditures to meet falling revenues the desire of tb ia member wil be reached sooner than he thinks As to the of any further inflation it can only bs said that the pressure is ing and it may soon take shape in some serious proposition Bnt of its ultimate success there is great doubt Tbe Anti-national

Special to tbi Tirana Sunday Feb 3 it TAXATION The Ways and Means had a very long and laborious yesterday Thoy sat over five hours and listened to tho ablest and strongest delegation of tobacco men that has over appeared before them Tbe discussion was very lively and the stamp method of tho tax on tobacco may be regarded as fixed Owing to the delay which must result if action in the is deferred until tho wholo la reported it is quite probable that it will be by sections as fast aa any one feature is completed and acted upon im- mediately The manufactures section which ia about complete will
