Vurlintoiui jOispaklt, sp\V MAY 29, I86r?. HEAVY TAXATION Of our Merhcants and other Business men- A Ruined People paying more Taxes than Before the War. Little more than twelve months ago more than three millions of dollars of real estate and seven millions of dollars of personal property belonging to our citizens were destroyed by fire, to say nothing of the hundreds of thousands of dollars of bank, insurance, and other stocks rendered worthless by the events of the war. Our worthiest capitalists were brought to the very verge of bankruptcy, our most enterprising men of large means were ruined, and all, down to the poorest man in the community, felt the stunning blow. Before this impoverished people have had time to recover from the whirl and which swept their all away- nay, even before they have had time to realize the depth of poverty into which they have plunged by fire, and sword, and robbery and while they are struggling to rise above their great misfortunes, and to make a fresh start in life- they are pressed down a burthen of taxation greater than was ever imposed on them in the most prosperous period in the history of our nation.

The present class or business tax of the city Is open to nil the objections urged to the State legislation on this subject, and nearly to the same extent. The merchants, manufacturers, ami mechanics are required to pav $8o,i).r>f> to carry on their business at all, and have besides to pay the larger jxtrtion of the other $30.1.797 of taxes on real and ]M>rsonal estate. Then, too, no regular sxstcm seems to have been observed lu fixing the amount^ o( the class lax to be paid by individuals. It is said t<> be based on the amount of capital employed in a particular business, or on capital and the amount of business done. We have looked in vain fur an v signs of uniformity in the assessment on this ha sis, or on an\ other. The rates imposed in the same avocation var\ from three-quarters of one per cent, to !.*? per ecnt. We notice that one merchant is charged 1 per cent., and another merchant in the same branch of trade is charged S per cent, on the same amount of capital, and 1 ?? >t h are doing about the same annum ?>t business. And this is hut one instance ? .1 many. Hut if all these errors were corrected, and i uniform principle of assrsMiiont adopted, the chief objection still remains? four per centum tax on the amount of capital employed is more than an> commercial people can stand for the privilege of simply doing business; and this i? about the tax imposed by the City Council on our business men. It is not too late to have these taxes reduced. We cannot do anything to lessen the lrnited States and State taxes. These we are compelled to pay or have our property ? sold. Hut we can protest to tho Council our inability to bear tin- burthen they ha\o prepared t"< >r us, and it is yet within their power to lighten it. We believe they will do it, and we call upon the Council and the people at once to see that it i> d"iic. Kill \r|? Itelorc llic llccoiislnicf ion

The llanies threatened the Cumberland Valley Railroad bridge, a few hundred yards below, which was only saved after much exertion. The cost of the portion of the bridge ju-t burned was j t?.'M,000.

WHAT OLD TRAD. HATt) OM PATHWAY. Hr. Stevens moved to amend tho ?ixtvflllh section bv striking out tho word*, u The Secretary of the Treasury is here, hv authorised to appoint an officer in his department who shall bo styled s|?erial commissioner, &c?, and inserting in lieu of them "Congress, by a concurrent art ion, shall eleet a special commissioner." He said : I am done with giving patronage to the Secretary of the Treasury where it can i?e avoided. He has already said that he will appoint nobody to office who doos not sustain the President's policy. He haw this morning distinctly so informed a mcmi>er of the House who called upon him for an appointment. He asked hint whether the applicant's " antecedents were in favor of the President's policy," and when he declined to answer him, he said : " I can appoint, and will appoint, no man who does not support tho President's police." He referred them to an apostate Senator from that region, and said : " 1 will 'consult him when 1 make the appointment, and 1 will apt?ohit nobody not recommended by him." It is time for this House to let the people of the country know whether officers are to he sacrificed to this determination of the subordinates of the President. If we do not stand by them, they will not stand by ns, and they ought not. It is time that we build up a wall. This is a malfeasance in office. I have already ascertained that four of the subordinates of the President have made tho same declaration. It I were a little younger ? and 1 shall be in a week, I think,? I would let those ; officers know that this is a grand inquest of the nation, before which men who are I guilty of malpractice in office shall be brought, and their cases presented to another tribunal which is to try them. [Kx- ' citement.J A voice. ? " Good ! " Sir, we are recreant to our own interests ; we are recreant to our own dignity; we are recreant to the interests of the country, if we do not stand by those who stand bv u<. We must take care that no more ' patronage shall be put into the hands <>f any man to be abused ? avowedly abused. It is time that we speak aloud and let our friends abroad know that they are in no danger *, that they shall not be sacrified because they stand by Congress; because they are not* the tools of a recreant President. [Excitement. 1 I have authentic information that this very day that course has been taken by the Secretary of the Treasury, and that he has declared distinctly that in that State he will consult nobody but a recreant apostate Senator who has betrayed his party and his country. (Mr. Stevens was understood as referring t<> Senator Cowan, of Pennsylvania.) Mr. Spalding, ot Ohio, inquired whether the gentleman from Pennsylvania was going to urge bis amendment seriously. I Mr. Stevens declared that he was. Mr. Spaitlding replied that he would seI rioiisly oppose it. Several other members stated their oh. ' jeetions. Finally Mr. Stevens ascertaining that there was no quorum present, and 'that there was a majority against hint, withdrew his amendment. RofTK AOhXT APPOINTED. On tho line from Washington to Lynch- ' burg, Va., John F. Langley is appointed ' route agent, vice F. II. Bruce, resigned; salary, eight hundred dollars per annum. THK TAX Ull. I.. Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported, on Saturday, a new paragraph for that amending section 1":j of the existing law, and which luid been reserved some days since. It imposes a tax of two and a halt per cent, mi gross receipts from passengers and mails on railroad, canal, steamboat, and stage companies; all vessels carrying passengers between the United States and foreign ports being exempted from this tax. A tax of three per cent, is levied on tho gross receipts of all ferries, bridges, | and toll-roads, excepting in cases where | the gross annual receipts do not exceed one thousand dollars, or where the receipts [ arc not more than sufficient to keep the i road in repair, T11K OA I < ITS IlKCONSTKl'CTIOX St IIKMK. The new scheme will base representation on voters, oiuit the third section, which deprives citizens of the right of voting for four years, and provides that ex-rebels shall ' not be eligible to State or Federal office.

Mr. Williams submitted a preamble and resolutions requesting information from I the President whether any employees of the Government in the southern States , have offered public honors to dead or living Confederates. I Mr. Nicholson objected, and the rcsolu. tion was laid over. Thad.

Court-Hurt ial to Try Lieutenant-Colo-iirl Paulding. "Washington, May2S. ? A general conrtmartial, General Augur president, convened to-day to try Lieutenant-Colonel Paulding 1'nr depositing Government funds in the Merchants National Hunk. \c?s from Mc.iiro, j San Francisco, May 2s. ? The Mexican Consul has received an official dispatch, dated Kith instant, from Ma/atlan, announcing that the Liberals attacked the garrison at llerm?>nvillo <>n the -1th, and after a bloody struggle, captured and pillaged the town. Imperial reinforcements subsequently arrived, killed two hundred Liberals, drove away the balance, and recaptured all the booty. Mr. Arnsa, an American citizen, and Don Gonzales (who refused to give the Liberals $10,000), together with thirteen Americans, were cruelly murdered. The Imperialists defeated Covona and Singaiva, killing one hundred and eighty. Several wealthy families have arrived here, Hying from Liberal rule. The published accounts declare that in the attack on Heriuonvillo the Liberals murdered thirty-five foreigners and five hundred citizens, who assisted to defend the town. Letters corroborate t he statement of forced contributions by the Liberals. The town was pillaged and women violated. The population of Sonora was rising to avenge the wrongs perpetrated by the Liberals. Terrible Tornado. Philadelphia, May 28. ? A terrific tornado at Honesdale, Pa., swept over the borough last evening. The great bridge spanning the Lackawanna at Sixth street was lifted bodily from its foundations, and fell into the river amass of ruins. A number of barns, out -houses, etc., were demolished. Trees and sticks of timber tilled the air, Hying like shingles. The course of the tornado was wot to east, thence south, and fiually towards the northeast. No lives were lost. \ew York Bank Statement? A lew Additional Foreign Items. New York, May 28. ? The bank statement shows a decrease in deposits of $8,500,000.

We quote gold to-day at $1.36G8l.37i; and * 1 .38 ? tho first named the buying rate of the brokers. We quote stocks as follows : Virginia Registered six per cents, 812: Richmond and Danville Railroad, *62.50 ; Virginia Central Railroad, *62.50 ; Southside Railroad, gua. ranteed by city of Petersburg, *63; Richmond, Fredericksburg nnd Potomac Railroad dividend 667 per cent, bonds, held at *7067.>; Orange and Alexandria Railroad, ; North Carolina State bonds, *83. There is not much to lie said about the money market of Richmond in these times. Money is very scarce, and interest varies from 6 to 8<810 per cent. ? the rates above fi per cent, being worked ' j such evasive expedients as make the lender secure. There are such rates as from 3 to 5 per rent, a month by a sale of notes for a round sum by a second to a third party. But these often ore, in the long run, reduced to the legal rate by a failure of the drawer of the note to pay it at maturity, and it goes on by renewal at sir per end. NEW YORK. The gold market opened this morning in New York at a decline to 137 '4, and, with some fractional changes, closed at 137 %. The news by the Saxonia and America had a reassuring inlluence, and there seemed to be almost a complete restoration of confidence among commercial men. The Stock Kxehange was buoyant, and prices jumped up, and were very firm. Money was abundant even beyond the demand ; but not much was discounted under 7 cent. Six ^ cent, was the exceptional rate, in the process of paving tho Government for the gold bought from it, t h*- temporary loan was reduced about .six millions and a quarter. In the same time the Government redeemed about one million of compound interest notes at par and interest. It was reported in New York that a small amount of five-twenties brought over for sale there were returned, the rise in gold defeating the object of the foreign shippers. The New York financiers were calculating largely upon the influence of the 620, 000, not) of gold shipped from American ports for England in the last two weeks. They believe its arrival in England will ati'ord great relief, and elevate the value of. United States securities. Virginia coupon bond* sold in New York on Saturday at ?67' ^ ? an improvement.

The "Vegetable Kutrophlc," which figures as the most prominent feature In the pamphlet constitutes, in the judgment of discriminating physicians and others distinguished for intelllgenee and a high appreciation of truth and merit, ?'an important addition" to the remedies now known as the most efficient In the treatment of thes* diseases. My success iti managing these diseases, now conceded to excel any attending th* general plans of treatment, is due to my adaptation of the Eutrophic upon the theory whii ft I devised upon early pathological views taken of these maladies. The potency i f it> .-flKiicy makes it eminently deseivniE a tdace among the most reputed standard re media* of medical record: and I would most conscientiously claim at the hand- of honorable and intelligent physicians a fair and impartial trial of ite therapeutical value as applied by me In the control of the** diseases. 1 can, on short notice, furnish physicians located in towns ami cities fi ?m fifty to one hundred bottls* of tint Eutrophic at a cost of three dollars per bottle. containing thirty ounces.
