TARZVP I,XGISLATfOrt.
The great question -- Of interest before the
American people, and which - is daily the
topic of conve rsation is that of the Tariff.
All eyes are turned toward4tho National
Capitol; and the proceedings V Congress,
in both branches , upon the,. subject are'
Watched with• the greatest anxiety, and
from:the fact that upon the legislation now
hzarilePeridsin the highest degree the ad
variOment or downfall of the different in
dristne* s of the country, the - prosperity-of its
manufacturing interests or 'their ultimate
decay; and the general welfare of the people
ortheir ruin. In `other woris, financial
prosperity or wide-Spread bankruptcy and
distress. .
As you readers are aware , jthere are two
separate Bills upon the subj ect now under
discussion, and debate upon these have
beedgiven the preference, because of a 'de
sire to meet the demands of the people and
arive at a conclusion acceptable to them
before the time fixed by law for.: the ad
journment of Congress. The Senate Bill
relates both to the Tariff and the matter of
Internal Revenue, adopting as it does the
principal sections of the Internal , Revenue
Bill 'passed by the House at Ale last session;
with a few amendments, And including Mr.
Morrill's Bill (introduced-at the last session)
and Mr. Sherman's Bill of (December last
"to regulate the collection of customs dit
ties." The House bill is the one reported
by the Committee on Ways / and Means, and .
which is based principally on the informa
tion given by the evidence taken before the
Tariff Com mission; and the recommenda
tions found in Its report.. 4 The- report of
this commission was gone Aver thorotighly
and carefully by the Commtnee referred to,
and as a consequence; the popular mind is
as a general thing more drawn to the latter
Bill.
The debate in both Houses has at times
been very spirited," and on more than one
occasion it has brought 1 forth eloquence
from members Who were npt supplied to
possess it, and well() were merely looked upon,.
as plain mere matter,of-fact Personages'
who had not the gift of kingttage4- or the
flow of Words to Stir up enthusiasm' for 00
cause they advoceted and supported - The
line of divergence between the Free4rade
forces and those who hold proudly; above
them the banner-of "Protection-to Amen.
can Industry and Labor," has been plainly
drawn. The American people can make
no mistake in distinguishing each, and they
thus will have an opportunity given of re-*
membering these Congressman hereafter: :1
Section by section each Bill is being act-;v,
ed,upon, the policy of the Free-traders or
the .so-called Democracy ; being to delay
i n
action by the
ma co • ual offering of Amend
ments and of points of order. The
debate in each ouse will in all
.likelihood
occupy two weeks of the four that now re
main of the existence of: this Congress.
When each
.House has its Bill, of necessity
there will be a disagreement, and a Commit
tee of `,conference will have to be appointed.
'Font' correspondent believes that a bill will ,
be reported by such a Committee which!
will pass at the present session, be signed
by the President and become a law. -..' , 1
The time which will be occupied in dis
cussing these Ttuiff measures, will doubt
less cause many important bills to go over
to the next Congress. Indeed there is fear
that such bills as "The Presidential Succes:
lion bill, the Bankrupt Bill, the Bill to es
tablish the Postal Savings Service, the na
tional Telegraph and Postal Telegraph Bill,
the Bill to provide for a new Congressional' •
Library Building, the bill proyiding for the
•forfeiting of all public lands' held by the
Land grant monopoly Rail Roads, the Ship
Canal bill, and the bill nuking a new treaty
with Mexico," may not be reached. . They
'may be passed however, but at present' all
is uncertainty. The infamous treaty with
Canada, and that with the . Sandwich Is
lands, should by, all means be abrogated;
but the presure of business • and the brief
time between now and the day of adjourn
ment, will in all likelihood -prevent action
being taken, and these matters will go over
to the next:Cone:es, but your correspon
dent much fearsthes, e treaties will not be
set aside until lafro when the Republicans
will have a majority i n Houses. This
latter statement is upon the opinion
that the American people will become so
disgusted with the action of Democratic
Congressmen at this session—action which
foreshadows what may be expected from
the next Democratic house—that they will
return to their first love and elect to • Con
gress a large majority of Representatiies
who have been true to the Republican • faith
and the best interests of the country.
Here too, let'it be noted, that the Demo
cratic Members will make no appropria
tions to build up r t the American . Navy. so
long as the Repuhlicans have charge of the
Government.
._.
The Revenue marine service will not be
transferred to the Navy Department, but
will remain where it is, in connection _with
the Treasury Department.. - z ,
The whiskey bill will pass the Hotise, and
eventually become a law. '
Great reductions will be made in the
internal revenue taxes, thus paving the
way for 4 final abolition of the whole Inter
nal &venue•system;
_Judging from its past record and tile in
di4tiotts of legWatidn yet to be had, the
Forty-seventh Congress will close with
credit to itself and to the Republican party.
Had it not been for the filibustering policy
pursued by the . Democratic members, many
measures of true Reform would - ye been
adopted, but for all this, the nsibility
will rest upon the latter, and e people
viiill Berko it that it be placed on their
shoulders. The day of reckoning will be
in the future • - :"

The House of Representative s, on Tues
day the 29th nit., after the . transaction of
routine business, passed several bills finally,
among which were the•follogring:
An act to tatablish a more certain process

in which boarders are entertained, may
collect their:bills. . .

reading, entitled an act regulating thulia- -

cussed, without final action, until' the hour
of adjournment.
z.When the Senate convened 'on .Wednes
day morning the 31st ult., at 11' o'clock,
the first business in order was the considera
tion of the appointments of the Governor,
.for sealers of . weights and measures, and it
was resumed. Mr. Greer said he was sorry
that the debate on - the day previous had
been so personal• and he moved that the
nominations be referred to the Cominittee
On Retrenchment' and Reform. To this Mr.
Gordon, of Philadelphia, who is the especial
champion and keeper of the new Governor,-
objected, and raised the point of• order that
the nominations, under the rules, must be
considered until finally disposed of; This
point being *submitted to the Sepate,, was
for the tithe, sustained, by a vote •of 24 to .
20, and young Gordon was happy , but his
' v ictory was for a very brief period. The
vote being thus forced on the confirmation,
was not what the youthful Senator wanted,
but he was coinpelled to accept the. situa
tion. • Twenty-one Senators, instead of
thirty-four, the-woes:try two-thirds,: voted' .
in the affirmative, while twenty-three vot
