have ail along been in favor of a reduc -
i j - ,
tiuo ot the duty or tariff on goods ana
articles manufactured1 and produced by
pauper labor in Europe. Who can ex-
plain tliis inconsistency f Free goods
and other articles produced iu European
conntiics and elsewhere by pauper labor
nod that is almost the only kind of !
labor they have in foreign cotiutiies-
and introduced into the United States
free of duty or tariff, would soon bring
Ameiican labor to a level with foreign
labor.
Leading Republicans favor free trade
or uo dnty or tariff on each articles as
tea, coffoe, &c, that arc rai'ed outside of
the limits of our country, and a protec
tive lann on all such articles as are not j
raisea or proaucea wittiin tne limits t ot !
our government.
Senator Cameron spoke to these points
as follows, in the United States Senate, j
on the 2Gth of March last : j
Mr. Cameron. I voted for the exon-1
eration of tea and coffee from duty, be- i
cause I believe that measure to be right.
There is no house in the whole Uuited !
States eo humble that its inmates do
not use either tea or coffee. No family
is so poor that it does not sometimes use
one or tbe other. I have always acted
on my votes on such questions upon the
ground that it was my duty as a repre
sentative of the people, the lowly as well
as the high, to take care of the humble
who cannot take care of themselves.
When Mr. Polk was President of the
United States, he sent in a special mes
sage asking Congress to put a duty on
tea and coffee, and it was made a party
question I belonged to his party then,
but I refused to vote for it ; and when
ever I have had an opportunity to vote
on thai subject, I have voted to make
these articies of prima necessity iu the
houser of the poor free.
My course through life has always
beeu, if I wanted to succeed, to do one
thin" at a time. It is an old maxim. I
believe, that if you do but oue thing at a
time, you will be likely to do it with
better execution. I trust, therefore, that
the gentlemen who want other articles
made free will let this tea and coffee bill j
be disposed of by itself.
The Seuators from Maryland, I think,
vote against protection to everything
except coal. Now, sir, the people of
Pennsylvania need no protection to their
coal. They have a special article of coal
that no other part of tlio world produces,
and it cau take care of itself. I vote for
a duty on coal, however, because it is
my desire to take care of West Virginia
and Maryland. They have coal and
they have salt, which are in great danger
of being nseless to them unless they
have some protection. Their represent
atives know that, but do not seem to
appreciate that tbeir States and other
portions of this country have interests
that they must help to protect if they ex
pect help from ns. The people of Illinois
have almost aa much interest in coal as
the people of W est Virginia. Presently
wneu coal troin JNova r-cotia comes up
the lakes and around to Chicago free of
duty, the coal owners of Illinois will be
gin to complain. They have more coal
in Illinois than there is in any other part
ot tbe world in tne same extent of terri
tory, and they have in Indiana not only
an immense quantity of coal, but a better
coal for certain specific purposes, except
that coal in Pennsylvania, than there is
in any other part of the world.
Mr. Trumbull. There is nothing
about coal iu this motion.
Mr. Cameron. 1 know there is noth
ing about coal in this motion, but you
cannot expect the coal to be taken care
of if those who are interested in coal do
not help other to take care of their in
teres!. 1 am not speaking of log rolling,
but I am talking to sensible men, aa 1
believe, in a sensible war. and I tell tbem
!
they cannot be protected - anient tbewl
help other people to, be taken care ot. ,
1 speak now in favor of the p6or
The poorest woman, in theworld want
her tea or her coffee. In onr poor boas
es, almost the only consolation of the old
women is their tea or coffee. And yet
gentlemen here who bare great interests
at stake, rote against taking the doty
off tea and coffee. Bat, sir, 1 rose only
to say that I trust this question will be
decided upon its own merits, I believe
1 w ith the Senator from Indiana, that we
can reduce this taxation very macs.
There are a great many other articles
apnn which we can take off the dnttec
wiihout a loss to the general revenue of
the country. I believe with him an
with other gentlemen who have expressed
the same sentiment, that the growth of
our trade of commerce, and of our wealth
! every year not only astonishes ourselves
but astonishes the world, and by its great
growth we are constantly able to pay
more taxation than anybody believvi
we could have done the year before
That is one of the strangest peculiarities
of our country, that every year as yo'
try to press ns down we rise more and
more. We are constantly growing and
constantly able to met the emergency of
the occasion,.
I tiust we shall settle this question
and then I will vote with gentlemen to
take off taxes as they call them.

Thb Mansfield Herald saye : On
Wednesday last, Mrs. Jabee Cook, one
of our pioneer ladies, died in this city,
aged 77 years and six months. She was
born in New Jersey, her maiden name
being Haunah Pierson ; she was married
to Mr. Jabez Cook in Washington comi
ty, Pa., March 2d, 1815, and came to
Richland connty, Ohio, on the 15th of
September of the same year, settling on
the farm two miles southwest of Mans
field, which was then an unbroken forest,
where she and Ler devoted Lusband re
sided for forty years, making it, by uu
tiring labors and fine tasie, the premium
farm of the county, and rearing an intel
lectual family of three sons and daugh
ters, all of whom are yet living.

This make (28.000 to start with. Then
comes the incidental -expenses of these
committees, which will Le at least as
much more. Then the House has had
several committees appointed, that will
help swell the bill. If you arc a mem

As we predicted last week, McClure
has been made a Senator from the Fourth
district. On Wednesday evening Mr.
Buckalew made Lia report. The Demo
crats bad dragged Mr. Anient trom a
sick bed, looking more like a corpse than
any thing else, to vote with them, and
carry the Congressional Apportionment
bill as amended by Wallace Mr. Mc
Clure was sworn in, walked back to his
seat, aud voted with the Republicans on
this bill. There were some wobegone
looking Democrats around after that
vote.
There have been some doubts express
ed here as to whether, under the existing
disagreement, it will bepossibhato pass
an apportionment bill. If none should
be passed, we would elect under the old
one, which is a very good one for the
Republicans The two extra Congress
men would be elected at large. The
Republicans are not auxious to pass a
bill unless tbey can get a fair one. as,
under tbe old bill, they have had as high
as 18 out of 24 Congressmen, and if the
present bill should fail, no one but Dem
ocrat will be hurt.
The terms of the following Senators
expire with the end of the present ses
sion : Robert P. Dechert, D. II. Jones

An act was passed last week to re
qnire the courts of Juniata connty to ap
point Auditor to re-audit and settle the
accounts of the township officials of
Delaware township .
A good deal ot excitement has been
created here during the last week or ten
days by a resolution offered by Deacon
White, of Allegheny, to remove the
capital. The Philadelphia papers cried
diarrhoea at Harrisburg. The papers of
the latter place yelled back at Philadel
phia small pox. The motion to appoint a
commissioner, however failed to carry,
by a large and decided vote.
The bill to increase the supreme court
was sent to the House amended so- as to
make the increase one, and elect two
(tbe one to fill the expired term) oue to
bejelected on the cumulative plan. This
would give the Democrats one of the
judges, for while two were to be elected
each voter could only vote for one. The
House has appointed a conference) com
mittee, and will insist on the original
House bill to increase tlie number of
Judges on tbe Benches two, and elect
them the same as other candidates are
elected.
The appropriation bill has passed
both Houses, aud now is in the bauds of
a conference eommiUees. The Constitu
tional Convention bill Langs in the Sen
ate and much doubt is expressed as to
whether it will be reached in view of the
immense amount of private legislation.

There are over sixteen hundred printed

A great many will pas during the last
few days of tbe session that are never
priuted, sent to a committee for revissiou,
or ever read by any but the few persons
interested. Thief is one of the main
evils arising from special legislation. I
propose to give your readers after ad
journment a fair history of what Las
beeu done at this session in the way of
passing public bills. t

will will also be for Hartranf. To-morrow

a majority of which will also be for him
His nominatiou is now conceded by all.
Bit three more days remain of the
present session. On Thursday nothing
will be done but hold the usual mutual
admiration society meetings and give
away the nsual presents. At twelve,
noon, tbe Speakers' gavels in both
branches will fall, and each Speaker will
say "The hour of twelve having now
arrived, this House or Senate, stands
adjourned," when each member and Sen
ator will wend bis way to his home, to
eive an account tt his constituentes for
the good or bad he did. If bis constitu

correspondent does, long ere the autumn
flowers bloom their hearts would be

: Effects of the Reeent Earthquake.
San Francisco, March 28. A de
spatch to the Bulletin, to day, from Ge
noa, Nevada, says a gentleman from Inyo
county, California, where the earthquake
of Tuesday" morning ' centered, reports
that Camp Independence is in complete
ruins ' . .
Tbe court house is destroyed, and not
a single abode or brick building is stand
mg from Bishop creek to Independence.
- Fears are entertained for cmps further
south in the Sierras - Mrs. West, res id
iug near Independence, was seriously in
jured, aud her child was killed.
Stage passengers report several fis
sures miles in length, and fifty to two
hundred feet wide, along the eastern base
of the Sierra Nevada, near Big Pine
Camp. At other places in the vicinity
the ground is heaved np in great ridges
Large springs have stopped running, and
other have broken out.
Heavy enow-slides occurred in the
Sierras and large rocks rolled down the
mountains, blocking np the stage road.
The 8'iocks lasted at intervals from twen
ty minutes past two to six A. M. At
Aurora, Nevada, no damage was done,
and at Belmont only a mill machine was
thrown down.
No such earthquake has before visited

Terrifle Torsade ia MsMari.
St. Loci?, March 30. A very severe
thunder and lightning storm passed over
this city about eight o'clock this evening
accompanied by heavy raiu. During
the storm, a terrific tornado from the
southwest, struck a large brick market
house on Seventh street, between Sprnce
and Poplar, and leveled the northern half
of it to the ground in the twinkling of an
eye. Most of tbe roof and several beavy
timbers were carried across Seventh
street, and striking the building opposite
knocked two great holes in it, exposing
the rooms. So far as known, only five
persons were . injured one, Henry
Wilde, a butcher, seriously, perhaps mor
tally. A woman, name unkuown, had
her leg badly crashed, and a man, un
known, had both arms broken. The
stalls in the market Louse were occupied,
and large number of persons were pres
ent, making purchases, and it is wonder
ful that scores of them were not killed.
Aside from slight drmages done to one
or two buildings, two or '.bree blocks
distant, no other destruction seems to
have occurred. It is likely that the tor
nado struck the ground only at this
point, rose ogain aud passed on in a
northeastern direction.
. A Barqe Burned at Sea Live Lest.
The barque Nimrod was burned off
Bermuda on the 19th inst. Of seventeen
persons on board only ten were saved.
The vessel was loaded with naptha and
kerosene, and an explosion from some
unknown canse took place in that por
tion of the hold behind the man hatch,
and running aft beneath the cabin a far
as the stern. It is believed the captain's
wife and daughter and a young girl were
in the cabin at the time of the explosion
When the fire was seen from the harbor
of Bermuda it was too late to render as
sistance. .
At an inquest upon the body of Mat
tie Morton, in Burlington, Vt the evi
dence proved conclusively that the girl
came to her death by eating arsenic to
beautify her complexion. She had been
in the habit of eating cloves, pickles,
chalk, ice, for the same purpose, and
having seen in a newspaper that some la
dies in the old country ate arsenic to
whiten their skin, she took some of the
poison for that purpose, and with fatal
result. . .
