The Bonded Whisky Bill Boomed.

The friends of the Bonded Whisky bill, says a Washington correspondent, fear that it has fallen into unfriendly hands by its reference to the Committee of Ways and Means, but, under the rules, no other committee has jurisdiction of bills relating to taxation. They have only faint hope, fj*>in the reputed temper of the committee toward it, that It will be reported to the House. But if It should come baok with the indorsement of the Ways and Means Committee it would be met with fierce opposition by some of the strongest men in the House.
