It ia thought at Washington that the impropriation!) will be less by six millions this year than they were last year. In the Senate yesterday, after tho close of our report, the Tax bill was taken up, and Mr. Trumbull's amendment, authorizing the transport of goods in bond from the port of entry to the port of delivery, was rejected. The House bill covering similar grounds was then moved by Mr. Schurz and adopted. An amendment continuing the tax on gross re ceipts was rejected, and a motion to strike out the income tax was also rejected by a tie vote. Th" bill was then passod, and the Senate adjourned.

Ills Arcrptnnre of lOnoitiliintlon. On Saturday last Judge Kelley accepted the nomination tendered him by the Convention cf the Fourth Congressional District. Iu reply to tho committee who waited upon him, tho Judge, after referring to hij past acts, said: New issues have arisen, md they are as grave as were those wo have thus happily bettled. The great question with wuion wo have to deal is not a national but an inter national one. The parties are not to be sum moned by bugle-call, or marched to the music of the rolling drum or ear-piercing fife. Their movements will be determined by the average rates of wages for labor, and the measure of education and chances in life offered to the children of the laborers. The future histo rian of the current decade will dwell less upon armies, navies, and ministerial changes than npon tho Apportionment of taxes and impost duties, the obb and flow of emigra tion, and the relative development of the material resources of the countries of which he shall write. Tho contest is for commer cial independence or supremacy. Tho imminent question for tho statesman' is how to cheapen all that contributes to the Kupport of human lifo, while enhancing the value cf life by increasing the rewards of labor. This will, in my judgment, be the best accomplished by that nation which by tho well-paid labor of its people produces most of its supplies from raw materials found within us limits; or which, in the language of a quaint old English writer, "sjts at work all the poor of the country with the growth of ito own lands." Controlled by this theory, I havo labored to reduce the schedule of inter nal taxes with which our industry, enterprise, and capital areburthened; to reduce the duties on tea, coffee, and spices, which we all consume bnt none produce, and to put on the free list every species of raw material for manufac tures wuioh we do not produce. Much of this has been done. The Senate is still en gaged upon the bill, but it has gone far enough to juetify me in assuring you that you will, by the legislation of this session, be relieved of at least $70,000, t()0 of taxes. The recent experience of England is giving new and startling confirmation t j the theories I embrace. Till within a quarter of a century she was the most protective of nations, and had long justly enjoyed the proud titles of 'Mistress of the Sea" and 'T.-e Workshop of the World." Keeping her people employed on her raw material, she found a market for her coal, limestone, iron ore, wool, and the labor that had wrought thorn into articles of utility in every land. But, captivated by the glitterirg sophisms of free traders, she re pealed her protective duties, and subjected her industries to competition with those of France, Belg:um, Prussia, and Austria, whose workmen are paid little more than half the wages received oven by the undor-paii British artisan. The experiment has been fatal to many of her industries. Observe this pile of recent books and pamphlets, each of which bears the imprint of London or Manchester. They are eight distinct and intelligent protests against a system which in twenty-five year9 has re duced England from her commanding posi tion to that of a mora carrier and exporter of skilled uorkmen raw wool and coal and manu factures bnt little advanced, such as yarn and pig iron. There are men who would force free trade npon this country and compel our mechanics to compete with those whose in adequate wages have enabled their employers to undermine almost every branch of industry in England, low as her wages are in compari son wth those received by the American workman. So regardless of the rights of our laboring people are the free traders that they would prostrato several nourishing and leading in dr.f t ries by repealing tho duties on ooal, salt, lumber, pig iron, etc. Th6y would do this, they say, to give the workman cheap coal, salt, and other commodities. To the unem ployed workman whose reLt is due, and who bus not the means to buy a meal, it is of not much importance whether the price of a ton of coal or salt is a few cents more or less. What he wants is steady work and fair wages. Without these his life is a waste and his family a burden, though he loves them ever so tenderly. Let me, aa nn illustration, consider the coal question for a moment. We have more coal than all other civilized nations combined. It measures straight across the continent from Khode Island and North Carolina to Mount IMabolo, ntar the Bay of Kan Franciaoo, and the shores of Buget's Sound. It also abounds in the British provinces on to the coast. Its j-ioilucU-j ul triipirtiiicn are .oiiioa the great indut tries of our country, and give em ployment to many thousands of men and sup- Eort to their families and villages they in abit. They feed on American grain and meat, and are clad in American wool, spun and woven by American labor. Their product is carried over onr rail roads and canals, and when transported by sea gives employment to American-built vessels. There is a duty of $1'25 per ton on foreign coal imported into the country. It is not prohibitory. The wages paid in the British provinces do not equal ours by one half, nor are the provinces burdened by our war debt and taxes; and we derive every year at least $.100,000 duty in gold from the im portation of foreign coal. It is mined by men who feed on provincial grain, and wear English elothss, hats and shoes, and brought to onr porta in vessels bnilt by the cheap labor of the provinces. What benefit could Eossibly accrue to any of our laboring people y removing the duty on coal, stimulating its importation, and robbing the Treasury of half a million of dollars annually ? I freely con fess that I am too dull to see it. NEWTON CHAMPION. Drain of the Murdrrer of tfrbhI (Jnrney 1 1 In UooleNMlon. On the 10th of August, 18GG, a young woman, named Maggie Carney, was discovered with her throat cut in one of the chambers of a house at Eleventh street and Mark's lane, and a few hours after Newton Champion, who had been in the United States naval service, was arrested for the murder. He denied tho accusation, but on the Coroner's inquest he was fully identified as the person who had entered the premises with the deceased, and had gone away alone. He was committed for trial, and a few months after was convicted of murder in the first degree, the defense of insanity and of assumed want of identification not availing. On the 1st of December, 180(5, sentence of death was passed upon him, but the Governor (Cnrtin) hesitated to sign the death-warrant because of representations in respect to the mental condition of the condemned, and he finally appointed a medical commission to examine Champion and report the result. Owing to the report made by the commis sion, which was to the effect that the prisoner was not of sound mind, Executive action was withheld, and Champion np to Sunday last was confined in one of the cells in the C aunty Prison. On that day he' died of pulmonary consumption, of which he had been suffering for several months. An evening or two be fore he died he sent for Dr. Benjamin F. Butcher, who had been in attendance upon him, and told him that he came to the con clusion he was about to die, and wished to make a statement in reference to the killing of Maggie Carney. He had previously denied all participation in it. The doctor signified Lis readiness to near whatever Newton had to say on the subject, and Champion then de scribed the occurrence very minutely. He said that he was fond of the girl, and wanted her to marry him, which she steadily refused to do, and that when they were in the chamber togethor he put his arm around her neck and then made use of the razor, killing her instantly. At that time he had a loaded pistol with him, and took it out of his pocket, intending to shoot himself, but had not the courage to do it. He then left the house with a view to drown himself, but after going several squares he grew so faint that he could not proceed, and took refuge in the house of a relative, where the arrest was made. He further said that he had often prayed for Maggie, and hoped to meet her in heaven Champion was never thought to be insane by the officers of the prison. Several of them were called for the Commonwealth to rebut the defense of insanity, and their testimony went far to bring about a conviction. Up to the time of Champion's death, they saw nothing to induce a change of that opinion MARINE TELEGRAPH. For additional Marine New tee First Page. ALMANAC FOR PHILADELPHIA THIS DAT.
