Tk Senate Tariff BUI,
Trotn th TYibr
In ilie House oi Representatives ut tlic last
Session, the Tariff bill, as originally reported,
raised the rates of duty about 25 per centum.
Thia was a great gain for our industry, but the
eober calculations ol the Committee on Ways
and Means were swept away in the confusion of
debate, and the bill, as passed and sent to the
Senate, was materially chained. Still it was an
improvement upon the existing tariff, and we
should have been satisfied had the Senate
adopted it. But the history of protection In
the last session is ouc of dispute and and disap
BOiDinient. The Senate postpoued its conside
ration, and this year the finance Committee
iave ollcred a substitute' lor the House bill,
elaborate anl thorough, which still lurtlier
lowers th1 averace duty upon our Imports, of
the points ot dnirrence, the following ure the
more important:
The House bill imposed a duty of ,r0 cents
on woollen clotln, which the Senate bill would
reduce to 45, tlionih it pr6perly retuin? tue
luty upon the staple oi 10 cents per pound,
ud 10 cents ad valorem. Cloth importers will
demand a still further reduction, aud we tea r,
may pet It. On carpets the Senate bill strikes
out the ad valorem rate, and re-enacts the
specific duty ot the present tariff a decided
reduction from the House bill. On cigars,
Which the House would rate aU$2r0 per
pound, the Senate bill places a duty of but$2,
xetHHiinp, however, 60 per cent, nd valorem.
' Theidutyon flax in the House bill it $20 per
ton in the Sena'e bill it is but $15. A duty of
3 cents per square yard, and 30 per cent, ad
valorem is proposed on linens, while the House
bill fixed the rate at!6 cents. The duties on teas
and cotlue are doubled by the Senate bill, one
nf the tew instances of an increased rate. Tue
20 per cent, ad valorem upon books is reduced
to 15.
The Senate hill, however, is much better than
the present tanir, and than that proposed by
Commissioner Wells. Cotton manufactures are
well protected; the rates of the House billon
eteel, iron, dress-goods, and worsteds are" re
tained, and, we rcjrret to add, those on coal.
"We should not complain if the bill, as it stauds,
were adopted bv the Senate; lor it is not likely
t be improved by amendments. Yet the fart
that the present tariff does not prevent our peo
ple irom cxptrding about $00,000,000 per
annum for imports ought to convince Codctivss
that an increase of at leant 25 per cent, ou the
existing rates is demauded by our industrial
interests. .
We must prote"tournianufacturesthorouehlv
if we would elevate our standard of labor.
Unskilled labor, employed in the ruder toils,
does not obtain half the wages paid to manufac
turing workmen, and the real labor-power of
the country cannot be utilized without a tariff
that shall necessitate its development. To reap
the value of our strength, we must use it, ana
not depend upon the manufactures of other
nutions. If here is our granary, our market,
here must be our workshop. Ho long as foreign
nations, by the help ot free trade, are able to
Jceep down the pricejof American manufactures,
the wages ot the laborer are kept down, and it
is time that every workman in the land should
know that the enemies of protection are the
instruments of European monopolies, and that
it is they who would give England, France, and
Selslum unrestrained permission to undersell
us in our own markets.
Slanders In Congreat-The President De
nounced as an Aasaaain.
From the Timet.
When the Hon. Ben. Loan, a member of Con
gress fron1 Missouri, introduced his resolution
charging I resident Johuson with sundry high
crimes and misdemeanors, the Tribune re
marked that he was evidently a "weak-minded
person ambitious to figure iu the newspapers."
Stronger-minded men than Mr. Loan have not
been free from this ambition; but few men of
any mind at all would be eager to figure, either
la newspapers or in Congress, iu precisely the
character which Mr. Loan has selected for his
debut.
His resolution came up for consideration on
Monday, and Air. Loan read, according to the
fashion of the day, a written speech, repeating
and amplifying with due emphasis the charges
made iu his resolution. One of these charges,
as presented in his speech, was that of com
plicity in the assa-sination of Pi esident Lincoln,
upon which the lervid Loan dwelt with a zest
peculiar to the school of politicians to which he
celougs. It happened by some extraordinary
accident that one member of the House, Mr.
Hale, of this State, was listening to the speech;
and what is still more extraordinary, it struck
hjin that a charge of assassination, made in his
place, in ordinary debate, by a member of Con
gress, agaiiost tue President of the United States,
-was not in order. Mr. Hale accordingly called
the attention ot the Speaker to the subject; but
the Speaker ruled that it was in order, inas
muck as the resolution and the speech were both
in the nature of steps preliminary to impeach
ment, which was a proceeding expressly war
ranted by the Constitution. The Speaker
being clearly right, Mr. ..ale did not press that
point. But he did press another upon Mr. Loan
himself. He appealed to him whether he did
not deem it due to his own self-respect, as well
as to the dignity ot the Houe and the nation
not to make such a charge without submitting
at the i-ame time something in the nature of
evidence to support it. Mr. Loan did not. The
matter, he said, would be Investigated by the
proper Committee, and, he did not doubt, to the
entire satisfaction of the gentleman from New
York. Mr. Halo begaed permission to ask him,
further, whether Mr. Loan did not think he
ought at least to say that he dad knowledge of
facts which would susiain the cnarge he had
made. But the lambent Loan refused, not to
answer, but to allow the question to be puf and
as he had possession ot the floor, it could not be
put without his consent.
Mr. Loan is evidently unconscious of bavine
done anything discreditable to himself in
which he may be right or calculated to reflect
discredit upon the country, which is not so
clear. His personal opinion ou the point is a
matter of little consequence, but it is more
auudficant that the House of Representatives
mould seem equally indidcrent to the effect of
such infamous calumnies, uttered by its own
members, who at the same time refuse to be
responsible for them, upon the President of the
United States. Whether they believe them to
be true or not, the members of the House sym
pathize with and share the spirit which prompts
tuch assaults. The party end to be accom
plished and the personal resentments to be
gratified, blind the majority of Congress to
their effect upon the reputation of the country
&t home and abroad. If the charge is believed
to have the slightest foundation in fact, the
, United States stand before the world with an
accomplice in the assassination as their Exe
cutive nead as their only orpan of communi
cation aud intercourse with otaer nations. If
it is not believed, Congress must be deemed less
careful of ita own dignity than any company of
pot-house brawlers in the world.
9 Mr. Loan's resolution is still before the
llouse awaiting its action. But the Judiciary
Committee has been directed to inquire into
J the general charges against the Presideut, and
this among them. We trust it will make that
inquiry as prompt as possible. It cannot evade
it nor delay it without lending its influence to
calumnies which it permits to circulate without
investigation. It is impossible that such charges
as those made by Mr. Loan, in his place In Con
press, should be wholly without effect upon the
public mind, both ttt home and abroad. We

has, made, or ar least to bring to their know
ledge the evidence ou which he makes it. We
risk very little in sajiua that he has not the
slightest particle ot" such evidence. He ha
made the charge in the mere wantonness of
party lectins, to gtatif'y his personal and
political resentments, and to promote, by what
he deems the most eligible method, his own
political advancement. But the Committee

The ! Dec I a I one of the Supreme Court
'I'lielr I'ollltral AiilKtlou.
Irom the Herald.
The two decisions pronouncd in the Supreme
Court of the United States ou Monday last
the one upsettine the test oath of loyalty of
the State Constitution of Missouri in reference
to clergymen, teachers, and lawyers, aud the
other declaring unconstitutional the test oath
ol Congre-8, a applied to attorneys seeking ad
mission to practice before the Supreme Court-
are of the highest importaure in tlvir political
application. This court, os in the Milllgau de
cision, five to fodr, has thus decreed that the
Missouri State Constitution, in its test oath of
loyalty, Is an ex post facto law, and in effect a
bill ot attainder, and therefore null and void.
On the same general grounds, the test oath of
Conaress is declared invalid, with these addi
tional objections, that lawyers holding no
specific appointment arc not officers of the
I niied States, auo tin-more not subject to this
Congressional oath: and that hilc the Presi
dent's pantonins power t unlimited, his parion
restores the person concerned to hU full rights
ol citizens-bio. lVr Cinn pie, an Kxecutive
pardon to Jt-tt. Davis would render tiini at once
eligible for the next Presidest-v. reinstating him
in ihe political position iu which he stood as
a loyal citizen uufore he went over iuto the
treasou of the so-called Confederate S'.ates.
Thesp decisions result irom the concuirence
in opiniou t Justice- Field, of Caliiornia; Clif
ford, of Mam.-; Nelson, efJiev" York; Crier, of
Pennsylvania: and WaMie, ot fieorgia live.
The dissenting oninion delivered bv Ju.-tice
Miller, of Ioa, niis r,pported bv Chief Justice
Chase and Justices ?wane, ot Ohio r.ud Davis,
ot Illinois. They hold that the Corjuressioual
te.-t oath is not an ex prstf'tr!o law nor u bul ot
attainder, but "a quaiiiicadon whicn Couuress
bad a right to prescribe as necessary to an at
torney,"' aud that the patdon ol the Presideut
has no effect iu relieving him froru the require
ment to take it." In retard tc. the Missouri
oath these dsentiua .ludgos hold that iu the
Federal Constitution, upon this t-ubject, "no re
straint is placed on the action of the Elites. " but
that, "on the contrary, in the lur.guae of Story
(Commentaries on the Constitution), the whole
power over the subject of religion is left ex
clusively to tue State Governments, to be acted
upon according to thir own sense of justice
and the State constitution. " Who decides when
such doctors disagree? The majority and here
the irajorlty is only one in 'both cases
goo with the Milligau deci-donf; and all these
dectsior.s, while they remain unreversed, are the
supreme law ot the laud.
What, then, Is the bearing ot thete decisions
upon the all-important question of Southern
reconstruction? According to the Millfgan
di-cistou there can be no exigency in the Govern
ment lustily 'ma the overstepping ot the strict
landmarks of the Constitution. This pronounces
the conduct ot Iiesident Lincoln in assumiug
the powers of Congress, in the absence of Con-yre.-s,
"to raise and support armies" to save the
life of the nation, unjustifiable. As the old
Pharisees held that man was made for the Sab
bath and not the Sabbath for man, so this Milli
gau decision affirms that the country was made
lor the Constitution and not the Constitution for
the country. According to these two later'
decisions neither Congress nor nay State can
establish any qualifications of l:yalty bearing
upon the participants in the late Rebellion short
oi a regular tiiai and conviciion. This maybe
a strict interpretation of the Constitution; but
as u party accused of treason must be tried in
the district where the overt act was committed,
and as under this requirement no jury can be
found to convict, how is Congress to mate any
discrimination between loy al cWzens and Rebels
in tne work ol Southern reconstruction?
There is a remedy suggested in Mr. Justice
Miller's dissenting opiniou upon tnee two late
cases, and in the case which he recites, ot an
appeal to this Supreme Court from a fine im
posed upon a Catholic priest of New Orleans tor
violating a local ordinance relating to funeral
rites, restricting them under the penalty im
posed to the Obituary chapel. Upon this ap
peal the Supreme Court ot the United States re
plied that ' the Constitution makes no provision
for protecting the citizens of the respective
States in their religious liberties. This is left
to the State Constitution, and laws. Nor is
there any inhibition imposed by the Constitu
tion in this respect on the States." This lato
decision touching the test oath applied to a
Catholic priest iu Missouri reverses this former
decision; and here lies our remedy. The deci
sions of the Supremo Court are not biuding
upon the Court. It, therefore, the latest deci
sions of that bony are all tending to the conclu
sion that the late war tor the Union was not
only a failure, but a blunder, which has left us
constitutionally just where we stood the year
before the war, we have only to reconstruct
the Court in order to reverse these oecisions,
and to secure such interpretations ot the Con
stitution as will proclaim the great fixed fact
that the war tor the Union was ucithe a blunder
nor a failure, but a great revolution, the issues
ot which have become the Constitution to the
Supreme Coiut.
This is one remedy, and there is some reason
to suspect that it Is the remedy contemplated
in Concrees in the proceedings instituted for
the President'; impeachment and removal in
order to reach this court. But there is still an
other remedy. It lies in the pending Constitu
tional amendment. Upon this plattorm, in the
name of General Grant, as the candidate of the
Union war partv. we are content to leHvethe
existing deadlock between Coneiess on the one
hand, aud the President aud Supreme Court ou
tue other, to the verdict of the people in 1808.
uut i there not the damier iu the interval that
the Supreme Court mav proclaim some other
cieciBions interdicting all other proceedmss iu
atvi ot118u'bi rn reconstruction We can
J.r?i,rt aVPreheud, however, that this
sTL i Vft'J decision running in the chan
U.i n. t8. tb,ee'ls strentheniug the impeach
ment party in both Hous of Congress
Mexico and Juarez.
From the World.
It is claimed by Orteea that Juarez is not the
rightful President cf the Mexican republic; that
his term of office, as fixed by the Mexican Con
stitution, has expired; that he is consequently a
private citizen, possessing no more legal autho
rity than any other Mexican citizen; that the
same article of the Mexican Constitution which
terminates the official life 0f Juarez makes
Ortega his rightful successor, until a new Pre
sident shall bo chosea by the pe.0pio. There
seems sufficient evidence that this statement Is
in most parts correct; but does it thence follow
as Ortega claimu, that the United States are
bound to ignore Juarez ami lei-ogni.e Ortesra
as the head of the Mexican Government? This
question Is o! thr very iravest practical moment;
for if our Government .aids. Mexico tin the re
covery of her Independence, it must n-cognie
some authority in that country with which it
can treat, find it ought not to make a mistake.
Wi are clear that President J. Iiukoii is right
in conunuitii. to recoirinz1 and support Juarez.
not iilistnudiui! the expiration oi Irs tprm. It
if necessary that our Government Rhonld pro
ceed on soiiieMirc ground of si tiled principle;
and there is notlnnir octtcr established, as a
irhiciple of our diplomacy, than the policy ot
abstaining from the domestic dispntesof lorolgn
states, Hiid recognizing the facto Govern
ment. Wo have recocnized, lor example, all
the numerous Governments whk;t, have suc
ceed done another in France since the begin
ning ot our own, without ever concerning
oui-elves about the riahtltHnes ol their
origin. To take the instances which have
occiured in our own time, we rei ocnized th
French republic of 184S withe ut inquiring
whether it was legitimated by the constitution
of ISliO, which it overthrew; and, with pq'inl
leadinet-s, we recognized Napoleon the Third,
despite the fact that his term a President of
the ltcpublic had expired, and that he con
tinued to rule France by destroying the consti
tution ot 1H4, which the peopieol that countrv
bad established, ann he had sworn to suppoit.
W e are no more douikI to look behind the tact
that Juatez is at the hea l ol the Mexicm Gov
ernment and seeks hisauthoruv in the Mexican
Constitution, than we were, in 1852, to look
behind ihe laet that Louis Nao deon was the
actual ruler ot France, and explore thecoma
tution he Mibverifd. iu a vain search tor his
ncht. It is no business of ours to sectle ques
tions ot disputed authritvin toreien countries.
Y bethel Juarez or Ortega shall b recocuized
by our Government is riot pioperlv a question
of right, but a question ot fact. Which is th
actual ruler? Juarez is in the exercise of all
the actual authority which he oosessed before
Ortega contested h'S claim; Ortega is iu the
netualocrciscot no autuoritv whatever. Juarez
commands, as be has tor the'last fouryear-i, the
forces ot the Liberals in arms aeainst the inva
ders. Ortega has not a company of soldiers to
back bis pretensions. Our Government would
make itself ridiculous to recoenize, as the Gov
ernment of Mexico an unsupported adventurer
who can produce no othfr warrant than 1m
contested interpretation ot a scrao of the Mexi
can Constitution. The United States cannot
flfscme to expound the Mexican Constitution.
lfey are told bv the Government de facto that
Ortega misinterpret- it. an.i sets up an un
founded claim: and so lone as it is made by tue
defavio Government, thev are bound to accept
the statement. The Constitution ot Mexico pro
vides thai on the expiration of the term ot the
President, the Chief Justice for the time beinc,
in octuult of an elected successor, be
comes FiesicUnt ad interim, dui Juarez
assens thai, when his term expired,
there was :io Ch.et Ju.-tice Orteira Olivine- tied
the country, abi-ndoneii his dutus. and thereby ,1
abdicated I is off ce. So iouu as this reasoning
suuiri-o a- ii"! ween juarez ana tne Mexican
people, it mutt b r'eemert conclusive between !
nnu ana the Uniteo Mates; the oulv iest we
can appl; to his locic being b's actual posses
sion of ti e Government.
It may be plausibly objected to this argument
that the principle it assumes would have bound
us to recoruize the empire, the Goveroineut of
Maxizmnau having ben for a long period the
(tc facto Government oi tbe countrv. We have
two replies. First, it is too la'e to reopen the
controver.-y respecting the Monroe doctnue, as
our Government and people have so det-.ded it
as to preclude a reversal ot their judgment.
The Monroe dectnne is an icexpuusrable tact ot
the snuiition, and we must accept its logical
ccmeqi.rcce?: one of which is, that the em; ire
was, iu the purview ol orr Government, non
existent. It is all in vain to ay that we cannot
annihilate a tact by shutting our eves. The irre
versible acceptance of the iilonroe doctrine by
this coi.mry was a1- much a tart as the exist
ence of the empire: and the permanent tact
was destiued to destroy the temporary phan
tom. This briugp us to our second repl i. winch
follows mere easily from the ordinary principles
ol diplomatic reasoning. Whi n there are two
confiictiiifr Goveruments in a countrv, one of
which v.e have betore recoeuized, we do not
trunsier the recognition to the new claimant,
unless we are satisfied it has elements of per
manence. Tnis principle han always been acted
on in our foreian intercourse, and there was no
reason why it should have been departed from
in the case of Mexico. We were certain, from
the outset, that the Mexican empire could not
stand, the measure of our certainty being the
inflexibility of our determination to maintain the
Monroe doctrine. We could not, therefore, do
otherwise than continue our recognition of the
republic, and to recognize Juarez as its head so
long as the republic had no other visible repre
sentative. In the transition from the moribund and
neaily onunct empire hack to a reorganized
republic, we may properlv render such friendly
assistance as the actual Government sees tit to
accept. The chief peril of Mexico, during this
critical juncture, is the ravenous ambition of
her rival political chieis; aud as noueol the
compel, toi ot Juarez has any claims touuded
on the popular choice, none has any which the
United S;atcs can pect. Oil what ground
could our Government justify itself in paying
any moie deference to Santa Anna, or Miiaihon,
or Ortega, than to any other private citizen of
Mexico? Juarez has claims, in the present pos
session of actual authority, to which noue of
the others can make any pretensions; and we
may reu-onably assist him, not indeed in gov
erning the country permanently, but In main
taining order while the people are exerting
their prerogative through the electioD3. It a
fair election displaces Juarez, aud puts in one
of his livals, we are bound to give the same
friendly support to his successor that we now
accord to him. but uutil tbe popular will has
been leeaily pronounced, it would be absurd,
and destructive ol a:i order, lor us to counte
nance any of his competitors.
The abiding i-urse of Mexico has been the fre
quent overthrow of her Government by ambi
tious military cbie'talns. Unless she can be
secured nguinst this evil, t-he has no future. Iu
affording succor to her weakness, we must apply
our plaster to the diseased spot, and make It as
broad as tbe sore. We mut uphold Juarez
against (he violence o revolutionary leaders
until thvrehas been a fair election. We must,
then, uphold the Government so elected, uutil,
at the expiration of its legal term, the people,
by a nev. election, honestly conducted, either
giant it a new lease of power, or replace it by
new officers, who in turn must, in like manner,
be guaranteed until Ineir successors are cho?eu
according to law. Our nuaraotee will be sim
ply a guarantee of the right ot the people to
choose their own rulers, against tho violence
ol military chieftains. And unless we grant
this succor in this form, Mexico will be re
manded to irretrievable turbulence and anar
cbv. and our interference against the empire a
freak ol mischievous and disgraceful quixotism.
