MOBRISON'S TARIFF BILL.
Sir. Morrison Introduced his tai Iff bill
In the House on the 16th lust. He says
that It will effect a reilnctlou of about
$20,000,000 In tho revenues from the
customs, based on tho revenues of last
year. The greatest reduction on any
one article Is In the case of sugar, where
the new duty will result In a decrease of
$10,000,000 In the receipts. The nd
dltlons to the free list will Involve a loss
of $5,500,000, and the reductions mado
bv the bill on other articles about $5,
000,000. AH wood and lumber not
dressed is put on the free list, with the
provision that tho abolition of the duty
is not to apply to any wood or lumber
Imported from a country which Im
poses an export duty on those articles,
as Canada now does. Other additions
to the freo list are hemp, Jute, jute
butts, sisal, and other fibre, grasses,
coal, salt, Iron, lead, copper and other
ores,unmanufacturedstone,chlccory.and
other substitutes for coffee, corn, oats,
hay, potatoes, extract of hemlock, and
other barks, crudo glycerine, Indigo ex
tracts, sulphate Df barytes, unmanufac
tured crude borax, saltpetre, logwood,
and other dye woods, ochrey eartln.and
unwrought clays.
On the various grades of sugars there
Is a general reduction of 'M per cent.,
but this reduction docs not apply to any
sugars on which an export duly Is lev
led, as now In Cuba.
On the finer grades of cotton goods,
the duties on which are ad valorem, no
changes are made, but tho duty on
coarse cottons Is reduced from 40 to 35
per cent.
The duty on pig Iron Is reduced from
$0.72 to $5.00 per ton, and on steel and
Iron rails from about $17 to S12.S0.
There is a slight reduction on bar iron,
and on some varieties of boiler and hook
iron; while others are just touched. The
rate oii structural Iron and steel Is re
duced 'from 1 1-2 cents to 1 cent per
pound.
The three highest classes of crockery
now pay dutleslif CO, .55 and -03 per
cent,Tha bill reduces them to CO, 45,
45;per cent. Theso grades cover all or
dinary table crockery.
The reduction on all kinds of cemmon
window glass amounts to about 20 per
cent. Some of the plate-glass duties are
left untouched, but in sonio classes,
where the duties arc now very high,
small reductions are made.
There Is a slight reduction on starch
anofa large reduction on rice, duties of
2 and 2 1-2 cents a pound being cut to
1 H-4 and 1 cent. About 20 per cent. Is
taken' off -linens, baggings, A-c.
Thorc is no reduction on wools.cxccpt
that one grade of carpet wools at 2 8-10
cents a pound Is substituted for two
grades as at present taxed at 2 1-2 and
0 cents.' The only change In woollen
goods Is a small reduction on the cheaper
qualities of woollen cloth, where tho
ad valorem equivalent of the duty Is
noiv very 'high.
AIiLEQED CAD MANAGEMENT
The Philadelphia Record Monday
published a six-column article on the
management of soldiers'orphans' schools
of this State, which alleges not only
official discrimination, neglect, and cor
ruption, but also that a syndicate Is
profittlnjf at the rate of $50,000 a year
In the management of four of tho
schools. The article says:
"In somo of the syndicate schools
children are packed together In bed
rooms and in school rooms like herrings.
Fifty-three children were removed last
fall from good schools, single beds, and
pleasant surroundings in the Northern
Home to sleep In foul rooms at Chester
Spring. At McAlllsterville the hoys'
balding was found to bo In a disgrace
ful --condition. At Mercer, In conse
quence of the penurious methods cm-
ployed by tho management, some of the
boys bathed in pickle barrels, two boys

some twenty-five or thirty pupils have
been deprived of schooling for three
rnontbs or moro upon somo pretext.
xweive cniiuren were crowded into a
hovel at Mount Joy to sleep while rooms
capable of comfortably accommodating
sixty children at Mansfield were vacant
But Mound Joy was run by the syndi
cate and Mansfield not.
'iAU regard for the children seems to
liavo been subordinated to a heartless
grab for profit, and this evil Influence
has been carried to such an extent that
trpremlum of ao a head has been paid
tp agents to recruit children for various
schools. It Is became of this competi
tion and because of the comparative
scarcity of orphans that the schools arc
now half filled ulthchlldren whoso fath
ers arellvlng.
"Of the, $.150,000 appropriated annu
ally by the State to pay for feeding,
clothing and educating these wards of
the State It Is calculated that nearly
$00,000 is absorbed in excessive pro
fits." -John b. oouorr dead.

Broadbrim's M York Letter.
Special to the Caiiuon Advocate.
It Is a sorrowful week through which
we have just passed, and one that will
not soon be forgotten. Hancock dead;
Horatio Seymour dead; the news flashed
over the wires that Henry Watterson is
In mortal danger, and that John Kelly
stands on the borders of tho valley of
the shadow of death. And even across
the river in our sister city Winchester
Ilrltton, a lawyer of great repute, who
had filled many important public slat
Ions, and whose urbanity and generosity
had endeared him to thousands, rises in
the morning apparently in good health,
and in less than an hour he stands In
the presence of his Maker. Of the case
of Mr. Kelly it Is Impossible to think
without a feeling of sadness. He has
tilled so large a space in the public eye,
and has so Ions been In a nosttlon to
have a commanding influence in our
public affairs' that it is difficult to be
lieve that the man whose word .was law
to thousands who ruled -with a roil of
Iron the most turbulent element In our
city, enforcing by his unbending will
the most Implicit and. servile obedience
will never be seen as an Important
factor again among the haunts of wen.
What, John Kelly dead? Oh, nol not
yet; but quietly waiting for the sum
mons, which has less terror for him,
than the life he has endured for the past
year.
There are few public men who have
been so completely and thoroughly rills-
understood as John Kelly. It was his
misfortune to come prominently Into
public life at the downfall of the Tweed
Ring; he assumed the vacant thronr and
sceptre of that malodorous politlcan
mm u u i-uuacquence snared in the
odium and Invective that followed that
gr.eai criminal downfall. Nothing
could be more undeserved than the
abuse and contumely which was heaped
upon .him for his administration of
Tammany Hall, and there Is no gain
saying this: that he took the leadership
of Tammany whpn It was rotten to tne
core; when its very name was an offense
against public decency, ho purl tied it as
tar as punncation was possible. Auto
crat as he was there was a fe'.rness to
the masses that they had never known
before since Tammany was founded.
Against the schisms of his own party
lie stood like an adamantine rock, and
opposed to the tremendous odds he held
the main body of his forces without any
considerable break, and when finally
overwhelmed with disaster and defeat
he made his bitterest foes repent of their

It Is a matter of profound regret with
all classes of our citizens to learn that
Ids health Is so impaired that tho chance
of Ids perfect recovery is remote. But
whatever may be the result of the mal
ady, which now weighs so heavily upon
him, New York will long regard him as
ono of the most distinguished and hon
ored citizens known to the present gen
eration. In addition to the terrihlo death roll,
comes the news of shipwreck all along
tho coast, and fearful disaster upon
land, and these calamities will mako the
first weeks of February, 1880, memor
able for somo years to come.-
The strange fluctuations In the lives
of public men just now finds a splendid
Illustration in the person of Itoscoe
Coukllng. A few years ago lie was the
acknowledged loader of tho united He
publican party, and up to six years ngo
that leadership was never successfully
questioned. About that time a body of
small politicians formed a combination
against him in tho Chicago convention,
where he held the memorable 300 for
General Grant till the final vote which
nominated Garfield. Though stung to
tho qulckj he forgot his private griefs,
and when I-Iiq. success of General Han
cock was almost certain, In company with
Genoral Grant the defeated caudldato,
took tho stump for Garfield, and by his
magnificent work elected' him. Then
came his bitter humiliation, and If ever
man had occasion to get heartsick of
fair weather friends it was lioscoe Conk
ling. In an ill advised moment of pique
he resigned from tho United States Sen
ate, and nppealed for hls vindication to
tho people of his own State, whom he
had served through the best years of his
life with such honor and distinction,
that the representation of New York
was regarded as among the greatest if
not the greatest in the Senate of the
United States. The appeal was In vain
the political combiuatlou, and executive
influence were too strong.and he retired
a defeated, a soured and disappointed
man. Yet that defeat was a blessing In
disguise, and Hoscoe Conkllnt; Is to-day
a greater man than when he was a lead
er In the United States Senate. Ho is
certainly a richer man, for lie Is one of
the Senators to w hose door no back pay,
no credit Mobilier bonds, and no 1'a'n
Electric stock can bo traced. lie went
Into Congress a lawyer in good practice,
on the high road to fortune; after his
years of service, and with opportunities
for gain second to no man of his gener
ation he left his post the poorest man
in thc United States Senate,-hut with a
character as Spotless.', as the'mountaln
snow. .As soon -as tho sting of defeat'
haJ,vy,ojj)"oII lie turned to his profession
to repair Ids shattered fortune. Four
years of constant pracllco have placed
him at the head of the New York Bar,
and brought In contact wltlrsuch men
as H'm. M. Evarts, Ellhu Boot, George
Bliss. Mr. Choate and dozens of others
equally "famous, he easily towers a head
and shoulders above them all. He Is
to-day the most famous lawyer In New;
York, with a clientage second to no,
lawyer In the United States. He has
wooed back tho fickle goddess, and Is
once moro on the high road to fortune.
It Is questionable If any inducement
could be offered him that could prevail
on him again to enter the political arena.
The disintegration of the Republican
party dates from his defeat but his
present position Is too pleasant, and too
well assured to jeopardize It for the un
certain lienors of politics. He cancnow
say with Corriolanus, "You banish he,
liomans, I turn my back on )pu."
The looseness in which the marriage
relation is held by our so-called fashion
able'soclcty Is well Illustrated. by several
cases now pending ln0tfic cqnrts. The
millionaire Winans'lssiicd.by a'woman
who clalms'to be hlj'wlfei'and who If
the evidence is to be believed, occupied
that position unquestioned In Mr.
Wlnans' household for many years. She
sits at the head of his table, entertains
Ids friends, is escorted by' him to the
opera and theatre, travels On steamers,
lodges in hotels, and to all tiUents and
purposes fulfills all the duties of a wife;
anil after several years' service Mr.
Winans casts her aside like a worn out
necktie or an old shoo.and the discarded
woman turns to tho law for her vindi
cation. A case before the coutts this
week Is more remarkable than
this. A few years ago a beautiful
woman appeared in New York who
astonished the old denizens of this
cosmopolitan city. Her toilettes were
simply Immense, and her orders in dry
goods stores and millinery establish
ments profuse and magnificent; and
what was more remarkable than all site
paid every hill on presentation, a virtue
not common oven ariiSng our so-called
millionaires. 'Though somewhat' cranky'

the Duchess was spot cash. The next
question was, whero the deuce did it
come from. There were hints of large
finds In the diamond minos of Klmbcrc
ly, while others suggested a big bonanza
In Colorado; the other was that she had
an uncle who was formerly president of
a hank In the West, who now for good
and sufficient reasons was residing In
Canada. No matter where the money
came fropi, she had it and spent it like
a princess; ami it now turns out that
she was a sort of second-band wife to
one of the wealthiest brokers on the
Street who became madly infatuated

from a quarter of a million; But after,

Wasliington lis and Gossip,
From our Special Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 22, '80.
Mn. Editou: It has been an Interest
ing week at the National Capital. Con
gress has settled down to hard worlc.and
has probably accomplished more during
tho week than during any preceding
week of the session. The Fltz-John
Porter bill occupied much of the time
of the House during tho early- part of
the week, and on Thursday the bill was
passed by a vote of 117 to 113. Not one
Democratle vote was cast In the nega
tive, and but sixteen Republican votes
werocastin the affirmative. The Houo
has thus declared that Gen. Tortcr was
free from blame when, at tho second
battle of Bull Bun, lu 1S02, ho disobeyed
the orders of a superior officer, and that i
the decision of the court-martial which
found him guilty was wrong. The at
tendance of members during the debate
was unusually large, and but few scats
were vacant. Although the speeches
were for the most part tiresome, the In
terest taken by the general public In the
proceedings, was manifested by" tho
crowded galleries. The chair placed
little restraint upon the occupants of
the galleries, who frequently gave vent
to applause In appreciation of the telling
points in tho arguments of the several
speakers.
Tho debate In the Senate upon the
Blair Educational BUI was continued
during tho week. Nearly every Senator
has taken part In the discussion of tho
bill, and so great a number of amend-
ments have been offered that it is pro-
liable that when a .vote lis finally taken

War has at last been openly declared! ,u ,,,
between he Republican Senators and
the Administration, .upon the question
of removals. Senator Edmunds on
Thursday last, having obtained the In
dorsement of his proposed report from
Judiciary Committee, on the refusal of
the Attorney General to transmit cer
tain papers relating to the Duskln case,
submitted the report to the Senate, but

In number. The first declares the ac
tion of the Attorney General In refusing
to furnish information when called for
by the Senate, was reprehensible. The
second declares that where the Senate
calls for information rccardlrtg' removals
from office, and the Information is not
furnished, the Senate .will not confirm
tho appointee. And the third condemns
the disregard of the law which requires
that in selections for office, preference
be given to honorably discharged Union
soldiers and sailors.
Among the bills Introduced In the
Senate on Thursday lasl,was one by
Air. ii oar providing ror lue erection or a
suitable monument at Washington to
General U. S. Grant: Tlie bill appro
priates $150,000 for the purpose, and
provides for a commission of three Sen
ators and three members of. the House
of Representatives to contract for the
monument. An amendment olTcrcd by
Mr. Logan, increasing the amount ap
propriated to 250,000, was afterwards
adopted.
iiie eighteenth annual convention of
the National SulTrano Association, was
held in this city during the week. In
the absence of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, the President of the Associa
tion, the meetings were presided oyer by
auss ausan n. Amuony. i lie meetings
were well attended, the audience beinc
composed principally of women, many
of whom were young and pretty.
Two hundred anJ ten of the employes
of the Washington Navy Yard were sus
pended on Wednesday, owing to a lack
of appropriation to longer continue
them at work. The susiienslons were
made pending action by Congress on
the uelicloncy Appropriatlcn Hill for
the Nay.
Among the Indians no In the city,
who have visited Washington to protest
against the policy of having lands In
severalty forced upon them, is a delega
tion of six Osage Indians. The wealth
of the members of this tribe Is said to
be higher, per capita, than the members
of any community In the world. They
.have in the U. S. Treasury about $7,
000,000. The Indians on Thursday last
had an Interview with Col Casey, the
superintendent of Indian schools. They
stated that thev wanted a female semin
ary established, and also 'said that they
wameu caiuoiic teacners.
Dr. Thomas Taylorof the Department
of Agriculture, recently announced at a
meeting of mlcroseopists, that he had
discovered a certain test by which but
ter could In all cases be distinguished
from oicomarcerine and other imita
tions. The .Dr. claimed that butter
placed boncath the microscope showed
round crystals, marked by a plain cross,
which could be found no where else.
Dr. Taylor's discovery was heralded far
and, wide, nnd has been Generally adopt
ed. It is now announced that Prof.
Weber, of the State University at Col
umbus, Ohio, has discovered that by
mixing a little water and salt with oloo
marcerlne, -causes the boaus1 bullet-' to
develop under the microscope exactly
such crystals as are found In the legiti
mate article, inis discovery destroys
the usefulness of Dr. Tavlor's discovery.
and strengthens the position of oleo-
margerine manufacturer.
Both houses of Congress adjourned on
Friday until after Washington's Birth
day. Senator Tburroan upon entering the
Senate chamber a day or so agq ex
claimed with surprise upon the changes
In the personnel that had occurred since
his retirement. Of the men 'who-sari
with Thurman In the Senate several
years ago,; 48 have gone .either to. the.
grare or nuo omcr inan congressional
walks of life. Messrs. Anthony, BUrh-Ide;!Ilandolph,--Matti:

and to none mu tne latter giye a more

favorite with Mr. Thurman since the
hot political contest of 1870. For an
hour or so Mr. Thurman held a regular
levee on the Democratic side of the
chamber, Republicans as well as Demo
crats pressing-forward tono.ium.nonor.
The action of the House coinage com-
mltteo Friday continued the impression
li-ft by their-votes' or the preceding day
that they do not favor any Immediate
chanse In the coinage laws. As be-
tween suspension and free coliuce thev:
can tell better as to tltat when Mr.
