The whisky bill being under censldera tlen In the Heuso, Mr. Coxe, of New Yerk, mnde n speech en the tariff bill, which discovered htm te be in favor of the Morrison measure, but did net di velep his opinions en the preposition te extend the I line of payment of the tax en the whisky in bend ; which Mr. Blount, of Georgia, said amounted te sixty-six million dollars, and he was opposed te the extension bocause it prac tiealiy amounted te a lean by the govern ment te the distillers. Mr. Randall also opposed the extension " en principle ; probably the same principle. Mr. Car Car llsle is supposed te favor the bill, his state having a great Interest in It. Mr. Morrison is for it, nnd se is Wat torsen; and his interest in it Is said te be the true reasen for his presence in "Washington, his running the Democrat ic party being simply a little by-play te work off his superabundant steam. What connection the bill te extend the time of payment of the whisky tax has witli the tariff bill, is net readily te be seen; and yet there seems te be such connection from the marshalling of the prominent Democratic friends of tariff revision in its favor, and the opposition te it of theso who are content te let the tariff bona it is. It would seem that a natural collocation would be the reverse of thls.since these who favor a reduction of tariff duties would naturally desire, te show a plethoric treasury, needing de pletion. The postponement of tiie pay ment of the tax en bended whisky Is ex pectcd ultimately te result in its being wheliy remitted, along with the abeil tlen of the whisky tax ; a measure which is supposed te be favored by the high tariff advocates. When we find free trade people also for free whisky, nud tariff advocates demanding the prompt pay ment of the whisky tax, it seems etrange. It may be that our represen tatives nre acting " en principle" and entirely without regard te the influence which their position upon one question may have en another ; and If 30 they nre entitled te commendation for their in tegrity ; which isef a very unusual kind. It te n very excellent thlug te staud upon principle , but there needs te be a thorough assurance that it is a principle upon which the stand is taken. The principle upon which Mr. Illountepposes the whisky tax extension is that the government should net lend money ; and that may be a geed principle ; but It is net se clear that Mr. Blount is standing en it in this case, since foregoing the present collection of a debt Is net the same in principle or practice as making a lean ; us every one knetB te his sorrow. Ner is it entirely clear that the government may net prop erly postpone the coller.tieu of a debt under certain circumstances The whisky distillers say that they cannot raise the sixty-six millions due the gov ernment, without great sacrifice of their property. If this Is se, ami the govern ment is well secured for its debt by the whisky it holds, nnd does net stand in present need of the tax money, where is is the great harm of letting it remain for a time in the whisky owners hands if they are willing te pay a proper iuterest fortheaccemniodaiion ? It need net feel compelled te collect the tax new, lest it may in the future remit it, as that would be a confession of very great weakness Ner is there any conspicuous principle under the feet of these who demand ana theso who refuse a twenty per cent, re duction lu ihe tariff. That is simply a question of expediency ; and upon it differences of oplnieu may properly be reconciled ; and they muit be se recon ciled by all who expect te claim place aj Democratic leaders. If there is anything in the question that is available harmony of Democratic the tariff question, there whisky tax te secure notion en is nothing te prevent Its being made use of. Same of our Washington people seem te have worked themselves into a fever of eb3tl nacy iu dealing with these questions, mid staud in need of some lubrication of their mental joints. They had better get themselves rubbed down if they ex pect make a geed entry at C.iicage. A Clear Distinction. The Biipreme court of Colerado lias re cently rendered a decision disbarring a lawyer, which has been construed by Berne persons as being at variance with tbe opinion of the Pennsylvania supreme court in its leversai of the Lancaster county court in the Steinman and Ilensel case. Even If the case admitted of this construction, It is net likely that the opinion of a Colerado tri bunal would weigh against the unanimous conclusion of the elder and mero highly esteemed court of supiemu jurisdiction in Pennsylvania ; but un examination of thu Colerado case and a compailsen or It with the Penn sylvania precedent referred te, discovers a very essential distinction between them, and one that w;u kept clearly in View bV the COIIIlSBl fur Rtidmn.ui n,..l Ilensel in their arguments before the lower and higher courts. w -... .... .,..,,,,,.,,, IIIIU lower and lilgher courts. The petitien of the judge below te thu supreme court of Colerado where- the statute gives te the justices of the su preme court, In open court, " power at their discretion te utrlke the imme of any attorney or counseller at law from tbe roll for misconduct in Ida olllce" set forth that the respondent haltel the relater as he wai driving through the atreet with hU daughter, a young ladyi and addressed abualve, Insulting and threatening language te him concerning his judicial ncllen In a certain cause tlioreteforo and atill pending and' undo termlned In the district court of Arapa hee county, wherein the relater was counsel for the defendants ; that he accused said judge with tyranny and op pression in Bald causa ; that Bald relater bad procured its submission te a preju. diced Judge fur trial ; and further, that the respondent assailed the relater with vile epithet?, and threatened te expose him by publishing the said accusations in, the newspapers. Theaa facta ne5 beinjr traversed, nnd the offending attorney maintaining the right of his position nnd that Ids con duct and tiie intent it manifested did net warrant ids disbarment under the statute, the supreme court had le meet the point squarely nud very squarely decided that he was a proper subject for disbarment. Hut it will be remembered that in the Pennsylvania case the ies ies ies poiidents made their defense upon the ground that the publication made by them criticising the court was net mnde within the presence of the court, nor while either of them was acting as an attorney and elllcer of the court, or of, or concerning, any case pending and undo termincd in said court ; but solely as publishers of a newspaper, out of court, nnd while acting in geed faith without mallce ana for the public geed, of and concerning a case of great public lm pertauce which had been Anally ended and determined in raid court, and in which neither of the respondents had, at any time, been in any way employed or Interested as an attorney, and which did net In any way involvetheir professional fidelity te the court. This bread and clear distinction be tween the duties of lawyers and 1 e rights of newspapers, which Judges Pat terseu nnd Livingston failed te lecog leceg nize, led them Inte an error, for which no precedent existed except these set by Screggs and a carpet b.ig court of North Carolina. Se long, however, as this distinction is made by clear headed judges the dignity of courts and the rights of lawyers will be maintained without any clashing or conflict. The reports of the condition of the electric lights made lespeetively by the jwltce te the city authorities and by the instx'cters of the Maxim company te their employers, continue te show the same variance as heretofore ; the state ments printed te day differ as twenty five from seven. Such a variance can not, t f course, be accidental, seeing that it continues day after day, and tli.it the repeits of the Maxim company's agents nre Invariably most favorable te tl eir company. There is no reason why the police should overstate the deficiencies of the lamps ; there is a reason why the company should understate them ; and that it does, we are convinced, for ht night we happen te knew that the lights at Market and Grant streets, nud ClitMt nut and Duke worked very badly ; only one of Uiese is reported b the police aud neither by the company.

Uut when a big bully strikes a mail his physical inferior, as was the case yesterday, it is time for Jersey justice te turn iu and take a hand la the matter. LiKtT. Gov. 0. P.
