NEW YORK, Feb. 25, Evening.

The Tariff Bill is regarded as virtually defeated
for the present session, in consequence of the refusal
of the House of Representatives to concur in the
Senate amendments, and refer the bill to a confer-
ence committee.

The House of Representatives have reconsidered,
and finally rejected, the amendment to the Revenue
Bill abolishing the tax on cotton.

Governor Brownlow has issued a proclamation,
announcing his determination to call out the militia
to protect the Union men in Tennessee.
The Senate has passed the bill authorising the
issue of $100,000,000 three per cent. loan certifi-
cates for the redemption of compound interest notes.

The House of Representatives have passed the
amendment to the army bill ordering the disband-
ment of the Southern militia. The Army Appro-
priation Bill as passed prohibits the President from
removing General Grant, or assigning him to do
duty elsewhere than in Washington without the ap-
proval of the Senate, and requires all the President's
military orders to be issued through a General in the
army. It is stated that General Grant favours the
Bill for the Military Government of the South.
