RKDtrcTIOSr OF TAXES'
Mr. Hale, of Maine, has introduced
l!Jt0 . House and referred to the
Committee of the Whole, a bill for the
rel1uciion.of taxal'n, which, whatever
r "" "'";' "aniiLciisLic, is

The followinc is a full text of the
bill;
"A.Bill for the reduction of Internal

Jtllm th ,lh Th
point of difference between this hill
nd the original one winch provides for
three per cent tax on incomes and in
exemption ot $1,500, is that while, by
the former, the tax is increased to five
per cent, the exemption is also extend
ed to 62,000. It is a noticeable fact
that the press throughout the country,
without distinction of "party, are gener
ally opposed to tho taxation of in
comes, 'and it is not deemed probable
thit Mr. Hall's bill will pass, while this
feature ot the original bill also rcrideis
its passage doubtful.

The habit of folio wing a circuit makes
a different, and, in many respect", a
better lawyer, than a city prictico.
tne circuit lawyer in anew country,
snoaiu do wen yersea in every orauch
of his profession. Tbero is no chance
for a division of labor. He must be
ready for the "occasion sudden ;" for
he will often learn for the first -time
the leading facts of his case, while it is
on triaL He will seldom liavo access
to any Jbut the most meagre libraries,
andhe mustpirry his books in his
brain. With a Supreme Court above
OlaV Of technical Ipsirinfe nnil ninnlil
"tolerate no noi'sensf," he must ba so
grounded in elementary law as to be
able to try his case closely without
his books, and adhere to the- tatscriptd
wiiue arguing 10 me jury as a min
rather than as a lawyer. In the early
days ot Indiana, lawyers in good prac
tice would ride hundreds of miles on
horseback. In the small country towns
the people would flock to the court
house as to a show, and in every impor
tant case the whole neighborhood
would lake sides. There was not of
ten any assumption of dignity injudi
cial manners and beiring. Sometimes
the court would adjourn to allow the
bar, jury, and witnesses to go to a
horse-race, where "his Honor'1 would
preside with the same imnartialitvthat
distinguished his rulings on Kent and
lilackstone. On one occasion, a Judge
whoso decisions usually stood fire, is
reported to have said to a lawver who
afterward acquired a national reputa
tion, ''Ned, you can go to the jury, but
those horses are to start in thirty min
utes, and I advise you4 to bo brief."
Ned was brief, and the Judre remnrn
bered it in his charge, In the evenings,
Judge and laVyers would meet at tlie
village tavern in a social game of old
sledge, and discuss with the same free
dom a fake play, and any mistake' that
had been" committed, absurdity that
had been, uttered, in the" cort-room.
It was a rough school, but thorough,
and those who passed through it fairly,
learned the'Ir degrees. From uRufus

You.hirc no doubt heard orSVilliams'

Humboldt Itoad, It w is m ide without
consultation with-any one" interested in
the matter. Fitch and Stewart are fu
rious over what they charge to-be biil
faith in Williams, Huntington writes
that no company will built the road
under the bill as it now stands. Til
ton was here to see abont it yesterday,
and he is angry and disappointed. All
parties here agree that the amendment
is in Holliday's interest, and that to
pass the bill in its present form will
defeat the building of any road tc the
untnnoint. I snail tivor restoruif tho
bill to its originan form in the Ilnusi.
and let Williams take the responsibility
ot defeating it in the Senate, if he can
defeat it Stewart thinks it can be
passed without his voth or influence.
I should have no objections to the mad
crossing by way of Rogue river if it
could be. built, but at the same time!
would much prefer to have it rnmn in
at Eugene City, as in that event, by

Otherwise Holladiy will havesnureme
