understand has been sometime IaboriDe

the night OF the 9Th awoke his wife, and
very deliberately told her, that it had
been revealed to him, that he must des.
troy his family, and as deliberately rose
for the purpose but the wife nor be-
lieviDg in the revelation, took her depar-

The house went into committee of the
whole. Much discussion took place on
the details of the bill. A motion was
made to strike out the entire section,
which provides for discoDtinulng roads.
Before any decision was had upon il, the
committee rose, reported progress, and
had leave to sit again.
A message was received from The Sc
nate, stating (among other particularly
that they had receded from the lst and
18th amendments of the senate 10 the
bill amending the several acis laying du-
ties on imports, viz: that which strikes
out Russia, Hollands, and Ravens duck,
and substitutes sail duck and that

duty on hemp by the evil and insisted
on their Sd amendment (Which strikes
out the minimum on woollens and inserts
Proviso y and also insisted on their
10th embodiment (Which strikes out the
duty on cotton bagging.)
MIR. Forsyth moved that the house re-
cede from its disagreement OF these two
amendments of the senate.
Mr.. Taylor objected to this motion, and
preferred that conference should be
requested between the committees of the
two houses, sc.
Mr.. Sloane moved for call Of the
house before taking the question on MIR.
Forsyth's motion.
1t was agreed to--ayes 81, noes rs.
The roll was called-when farther
proceedings in relation to the call were
dispensed with.
The motion TO recede from the two
amendments was divided and the Guess
ton being first put on receding from the
disagreement to the amendment with re.
lation to woolens- the effect of recedine
being to adopt the senste's amendment
to the first section of the bill, which
strikes out the words 'un,il the thirtieth
OF June, 1896, and after that time a duty
OF 373 per cen'um ad yalorem,' and in>
serts the following proviso: Provided,
That, on ali manufactures OF wool, or of
which wool, shall be component part,
the actual value Of which, at the place
whence imported, shall not exceed thir.
~ three and a third cents per square yard,
shall be charged with duty of twenty
i've per centum ad valorem.'1
The question on receding from the
amendment was taken by yease4, nays9s.
The speaker voting in the negative,
the motion was lost. So the house rem.
sed to recede from its disagreement to
the amendment of the senate Gas above
stately and insisted on striking out the
proviso, and on restoring the duty of s7S
per cent.
The question en- receding from the
second amendment Prospecting cotton
bagglng9 being taken il was decided by
yeas 81, nays l04.
Mr.. Taylor moved that committee
of conference be appointed on the part
OF the senate, should the same be ap.
pointed, to confer on the two points in
which the two houses disagree which
motion was agreed TO.

As the Opponents of Mr.. Adams have
charged him with Sinister aud selfish mo
tives in vnting liir the embargo In 1907, II
lis but right that those of our readers whose
TeColluctiOns of the events of thHt period
are not sufficiently strong to enable them
- decide upon that question, should be
made acquainted with tho reasons assigned
by Mr. adams himself az The time, for the
suppart he gave Ia that celebrated mea
SIRE Of Mr. aeRprson's administration, and
we have therefore republished his letter To
Mr. Otis, in which he has stated them AT
full length II these reasons are not sulf
cicntly patriotic aud honorable to acqut
him Of the charge nor brought forward by
ms opponents, il is very certain they were
deemed SO by the reputlicahs of 18O7,
there was scarcely republican paper Of
that period which Ed not publish the let
ter with comments iauding il to The skies.
For ourselves, we think now, as Nethulghi

'anced in that letter, are highly honorable

Aware that the form Of government,

Adams to tie Presidency, founded on his e
minent public services, during period of
