The Heuse has m'fmtlved tlie Morrison bill by a majority of four, forty-eno of tlie majority behig Democratic votes, mainly frcrn Pennsylvania, "New Yeik, New Jersey nnd Ohie. Tlie Democracy of the Seuth and West generally sus tained the bill. The Issue was mainly between the advocates and opponents of tariff reduction, ullheiigli It was decided by n smaller body of men who are favor able te tariff reduction but opposed te the scheme prepared for It In the Morri son bill. Prominent among these men was Mr. Eaten, of Connecticut, who endeavored te induce Mr. Morrison te surrender his plan of tariff reform for n scheme that could and would be sua talncd by the Democratic vote In the IIouse. Mr. Eaten's position was one of opposition te tariff tinkering at this session of Congress, nmid the excitement of a pending presidential canvass ; but he proposed te surrender this opinion for the sake of harmony and united party action, If an acceptable bill was offered te him and theso Democrats who were retily te act with him, among whom were Mr. Randall and roost if net all of the forty-eno who have new recorded themselves against the Morri son bill and killed it. Mr. Morrison declined Mr. Eaten's preposition, and has the result te-day In an Ignominious defeat. Upen what ground Mr. Morrison and these who voted with him can defend their under taking te force through a tariff bill which forty-one Democratic representatives re fused te vote for, especially when they represented the sentiment of the states of Connecticut, New Yerk, New Jersey, Pennsylvania aud Ohie, we cannot com prehend. Certainly, the Democratic party cannot afford te surrender all these stated ; and it would shem te have been the dictate of a most or dinarily prudent statesmanship te accept eagerly a proiiesition, made by the representative:" of sentiment in these states, te formulate a bill en the tariff whicti would secure their assent and be in the line of the tariff reform and re duction which the Democratic repre sentatives from ether state3 were soltc seltc soltc l;eus te establish. Mr. Morrison in refusing Mr. Eaten's preposition sur rendered all claim te consideration as a statesman ; who has It as the prime C33enllal of his craft te keep his party united, sacrificing what he needs te de of his own opinion te keep the foundation beneath him without which he can achieve nothing. "We are very glad, indeed, that the Morrison bill hasbeeu slain, though it is net because we de net ourselves be lieve in the coming need of tariff reduc tlen. The newspaper report of Mr. ltandall'a speech In opposition te the bill muke3 him urge against it that it is a step in tlie direction of frei trade. We de net believe that Mr. Randall present ed this ns an objection te the bill ; but If he did, we de net at all agree with him that the bill is objectionable ter that reason, since that is indeed its only recommendation. We thoroughly Le 1eve that the Democratic party should set its face in the direc tlea of free trade and should, at the proper time nnd in the proper way. un dertake a revision of the tariff. We de net regard this as the best time, because the political campaign will affect the calm consideration of questions which evidently require dispassionate treat ment for their true solution ; ami we are sure tint Mr. Morrison's nlan is net the best, nnd, in truth, but little better than the worst, method of treatment possible te be devised. It is a scheme, as Mr. Eaten bluntly said, unworthy of theso who proposed It ; and its defeat by their own party puts the finishing stroke upon their claim te statesmanship. With a proper regard fur die inter eits of the public schools there could net have been any ether conclusion te the contest for county superintendent than that which resulted yesterday. All ether thiugs haing equal, frequent changes in this olllce are te he avoided ; for, te a man who is capable of development, experience in the discharge of the duties of tlie Euperiutendency brings enlarged fitness for them. In this iew Mr. J Jreclit's comparative youth was u ver decided advantage Instead of an objection te him. It was net, however, by any means the sole point of his superiority ever his opponent, who was the weakest can didate among these who might have been entered for the contest. What is true of the canvass for the county suier intendency is equally true of the contest in the city beard. In both cases the di rectors pursued the same policy as lias been followed, we perceive, very gener ally ever the state, of retaining superln tendents who have been efficient, regard less of politics. Such Democratic strongholds as Cumberland, Clinten, Northampton and Schuylkill reelected Republicans, while Republican Snyder and Meadville chose Qt Democrats for this 1 mpertant non-partisan olllce. Tub mere that is heard of the (dope, tnent of the Detroit girl with her father'n ceaclimun the leys romantic aud inexpli. cableau affair it becomes. It appears thai lie lived with his children and wlfe or mistress, above her futher's stable, and had another wlfe or two scattered around the town. Tbesa women hud quarrelled with Miss Lilian about her intimacy with their hushand, nnd her ruottier had been warned of It, but Mrs. Whitney preferred net te discharge him "as she rather admlred her stylish coachman, but premised te keep a watch en her daughter te prevent horfrem frequentlng the stable" All In all, the circumstances of the case go fur no rob It of any great sentimental Interest and te doprlve the ' victim " or her fumlly of nny profound popular eyinpathy in their disgrace. Mn. Jay Gould says the smash of the Marine bank is only a May shower, nnd vows that we are about te have our usual spring rise in stocks. Mr. Gould is a jray deceiver. Mr. Gould wants stocks te go up, because he has them te sell. A ' 3, year age he had a jacht built nnd was te start out In the summer for a tour of I the world. Hut the spring rise in stocks te which he was trusting te lleat his stock possessions Inte ether pockets did net come, nnd Mr. Gould has net yet geno abroad. When he ordered that yacht a couple of j cars age he thought he would surely be unleaded before It wasfluished ; but he was a little tee slow slew slow en the tiigger.

The enacting olause Is sttieken out, aud the bid is rejected." S-ir'i wis the announcement made in the llnii-e liii'sday nfteruoeu by the speaker upon the completion of tlie vote en the tariff bill. It was net the announcement Speaker Carhsle expected te make, nor was it pleasant te the e.us of ndvoettes of a henz mtal reform of the tariff, but it wai st grateful communication te a majority el the Heuse, and was greeted with an up rear of applause en the ll or, which was communicated te and repeated by the crowded galteries. The sceue iu the IIouse during the en tire proceedings was mere interesting aud exciting than any that has occurred fei mtiuy )cars. Uofere the hour appointed for the meeting every available space iu the galienes was occupied, nnd before neon huudrO'ls of persons were turned away, unable t obtain even st-uiiting room. The seats en the ll ur were also tilled, many feuaters being interested spectators of the proceedings. The eager ner-s manifested te go into committee of the whole exhibited the anxiety of the members te begiu the ilual struggle. The llrst hour was occupied by Messrs ltrewu of lnnsylania ; Tewtwud, of Illinois, nud Gibsen, of West Virginia, the two latter adveca'mg aud Urenu opposing the bill. These gentlemen received c mi para tively little lU'entieu, but wheu Mr. K.iu dall aree the prevailing hum en the tloer and galleries ceied.

He thou went en te argue against the policy of unsettling business interests by constant tinkenug with the tariff. Should no law last longer thau the meetiug of tne next Congress'.' Should the meeting of Con gress cause fear and its adjournment cause enjoymeut ? Should nothing be t-ettled for a time, at least, but should doubt and mistrust alas haunt the wakiu ami sleeping hours of the peeple .' Fer one, he wa einph.itic.illy opposed te any such suicidal policy. It would bt madness fernnvmrtv te iinrmin it. Itms submitted toevery member's judgnimt te apply ice neroie remedy te this bill, 'i te let it linger out a sickly existence, b a.iLg in its wake buMncss confusion and ge e. il bankruptcy. It was ne: based en any sound principle. Tbcre had been apole gies for it, but no defence. It was guessed that it migh reduce the surplus revenue, but nobody pretended te speak with cer tainty. There was no attempt for the ad justment of the tat iff. It sliced, reckless et the mjiry it might de te certain inter ests and Industrie", as well as te the reve uue. It was like the famous I-1 .f th.i old robber if a man was tee e mall, he was stretched out te its inexorab'e length ; if teu long, he was cut down te fit it. After stating his belief tint a henzintal reduction afforded no remedy the speaker declared that i: was net se dangerous for what it did as for what it premised. In this respect there was no room for conjec ture. It was proclaimed te be a firm step towards free trade. Let gentlemen con sider what fr:e trade, se called, meant. It meuit a change of our whole scheme of cjllectmg revenue. The people had bi crne accustomed te import duty, and it had been proved te be the safest nnd best method et taxation. It caused no friction or comparatively little. All this would be abolished, ami the internal war taxes continued. Was that the wish of the people ? The old confederation relied en direct taxation, and it wa a failure ; the fathers of the goverumeut sought refuge iu a different system and the result was a mere terfect union iu order tn nrnrnln for the common defer.se and the i-pr-pi-il wi.i fare. The bill bore a captivating caption ar.d it was doubtless intended te be captiva ting. It did net abul sh war taxes, ler if it did it would repeal internal revenue taxes. If thoee taxes were abolished there would be no surplus revenue, and the administration of public affairs would be run prejerly aud well. The surplus revenue f.jr this current year would be about 'i),0nO,OW The Heuse was in vited here te choeso between a tlrm first step towards fire trade or te wait te reform the tariff until such time as the Democratic party ehuuld build en the principles expressed in the Ohie platform. He had no difficulty in cheesing between the two lines of public jhcy aud he chose ler his own people au 1 his own country. He did this in the full ai-.urr.nce that free trade would bring nothing but disaster and ruin, while the principles expressed in the Ohie declaration would bring prosper" ity, happiiitss and a higher order of c.v c.v ilizatien. Would it net be wiser te defer the con-M.lt-iatien of se important a question until the country had pasicd through the ex. eitcment of a presidential atru-rgle and until some information could be eec ired as te the workings uf the tariff bill of 1SS.J He would peak plainly, aud utter his fears eveu in the prefconce of political enemies. Take the four great states, Connecticut, Mew Yerk, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The centus showed that mere than 1,100,000 porsenH were engaged in manufactures in theso four great com men wealths. Did gentlemen bolievo that a reduction of wages was a potent factor in winuing the support of these poepln, and especially when Republican orators, hacked by powerful press, would thunder in tlmir ears the statement that the Democratic party had been thu rnaiucauie of this reduction ? Te him it seemed inovitable that the action of the committee en ways and nieaus would fall httle short of public condemnation.

Twe Hunks Uenn te Hmaiti la .Nev Verk The fni'ure of the Marine national bank and of Graut's banking firm, in New Yerk, is the ta'k of the street. The bank had always beeu considered sound nnd conservative, but of late years it has fallen into the coutrel of the Fish family, the head of whieh, Mr. James D. Fmli, was prcsident, and a perfect autocrat, although believed te be able, shrewd and honorable. He was se much interested iu thu bank that he had a suit of rooms fitted up iu the building and there kept "widower's hall," giving the closest attention te fiscal affairs and calling about him sueh rela tives as he could rely upeu Implicitly for integrity aud strict obedience. Thus he made Mr. Jehn D. Fish, a nephew, cashier, uud had half a, di .ju ether relations employed ns clerics, while the "street" and "street oxehaugo" work was done by thu brekerH firm of Ward it Grant, Ne. 90 Broadway, which Is com posed of Mr. Ferdinand Ward, Goneral L. S. Grant, Mr. James D. Fish, l. 3. Grant, jr., and W. U. Smith, the "beard raembcr and business man." Somehow, batween these men investments wero made of seme $700,000 in real estate, which ordinarily might be considered a prolltable transaction; but owing te a pinch, the brokers overdrow thoneoounts iu the bank about $000,000 and were unable te enver in tlme. Mr. Fish and Mr. Ward tried te realize en seme securities, but failed, aud, being very proud, would net bring thorn selves te ask for assistance. A very slight accommodation, as mat mat ters go new a days, would have saved the bauk from the humiliation of suspension, as only a fortnight sinoe it was 111 seuud condition, aud en Monday passed through the oieariug heuse without a hi tell. The immediate trouble was all brought about by the dealings of tlie bank with the llrm of Grant fc Ward. On Monday the cashloref the bank was authorized te 001 tl. fy checks of Graut & Ward te the amount of 8750,000, it being uudorsteod that the firm would deposit sutflolent soeurlty Tuesday morning te oevor the indobted ness. They failed te make the depesit, and in oenscquonoo when the cheeks wero presented at the 0 oaring heuse thore wns nothing te meet them with in the bank. The noeounts showed that the bank owed a balance of $555,000 te the oieariug heuse, but this was rcduoed te $339,000 by the disoevory that thore were among the checks presented ever $200,000 in uucortl uucertl uucortl lledSohecks of Grant & Ward. Tue bauk then made a payment te the clearlug heuse of $310,000 iu cash nnd the re. mainder in valuable securities, thus ills, charging Its entire Indobteducss. The surplus of the bank ever nnd above its real ostnte Is $250,000, and thore are no ether outstanding liabilities. Mr. Fish must have lest his head completely.

Mr. Klicher went te the side room, iu which his pintaloeiis wote found, nud In which the safe stands, and found the safe, a large old fashioned one, ecuiely locked. He sent for 11 locksmith te open it ; but after wetkmg nt it iu vain for soveial hours, the smith was obliged teeut itnpcii with a chisel. This was net accomplished until late iu the nfteruoeu. When thesafu was dually opened, it was I'eiiud that It had been rebbud of about $350, including a number of trade dollars, two tevelvets, nud some ether articles.
