FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 9, 1897.
We are requested TO state, for the informal

Miss Gillinghams and Mr.. Paddon, intend IA

, The Manufacturers Bill, as it is generally
termed, which proposes heavy increase OF du-
~ on Woollen Goods, was yesterday evening
ordered, by the House Of Representatives, to be
enyrossed for third reading this day. Among
the opponents Of the measure, were the prinei-
nal leaders and managers Of the Calhoux party,
such as Mr.. Hamilton, Mr.. Kremer, Mr.. Ing
ham, Mr.. McDufie, Mr.. Weems, and id genus
omns. Finding tha, majority Of the House
was in favor of the Bill, these patriotic gentle
men. and their followers, determined on defeat
ing it, by delaying the question until it would
be too late for the Senate TO take up the subject;
hence speech after speech, aud amendment, after
amendment were pressed upon HE House:
Ill! human patience could bear no more, and
the majority was driven to an exercise Of the
"previous Question" in order to prevent fur
,her waste Of time, and thereby secure to the
people their rights. There were two hundred
and seven members in ;heir seats, Of which los
voted for the bill, and 80 against it. Five were
absent, VIZ Mr. Bradley Of Vermont, Messrs.
Cuthbert and Ta,nall of Georgia, Mr.. Martin
of MARYLAND, and Mr.. Van Rensselaer, Of New
York MIR. Bradley and Mr.. Van Rensselaer,
are said to be in favor Of the bill, is also the
Speaker. Mr.. Tatnall and Mr.. Cuthbert are
thought TO be opposed to it--and Mr. Mar
Tins opinion is unknown-so that had eve
~ member voted, the result would not have
been materially chauged;-,he majority would
still have been either nine or fen, which, though
small, is greater than that by which the tariff OF
1924 succeeded-the vote on that occasion be-
,np los 10 lo2 Much exertion was made by
Nessrs McDuffie and Co. TO elarm the Penn
sylvania Delegation, s. TO identify The question
with the Presidential Election; but after, all,
only seven gentlemen from tina, State, could be
induced to go against the true interests OF
,heir cons,ituent.,-riz. Mr.. Kremer, Mr. Ing
ham. MIR. Buchanan, Mr. Kittera, MIR. Adams,
Mr. Stevenson, and Mr.. Wur,z. The debate on
this question should be widely circulated IN
Pennsylvania, tina, the people may understand
The narrow policy Of the Calhoun party, and the
sacrifices which are demanded OF its memoers.
We do not mean to say that the bill was an ad-
minis,ration measure, for many Of the friends
the Administration. voted against it; but ex-
cen, in Pennsylvania, the Calhoun men, were
its opponents, and the debate shows that they
attempted TO MAKE il party question. The
ayes and noes on the engrossmenr will be seen
in the proceedings Of Congress.
The Jackson Converts in Virginia have just
made discovery which gives them vast unea-
siness. They have found on, that Governor
TYLER, the Senator elect, is not a true believer
in the Jackson creed II has come to light that
he approves the course which Mr.. Clay pursu-
ed in the Presidential election, and consequent
" dishelieves the factous charge Of" bargain,
intrigue and corruption" The "Chiettain's''
oapers are in mourning, and talk Of inviting
the Senator to resign We have heard it hint.
&c, too, ,ha, Mr.. Forsyth has unfortunately re-
corded his appreciation Of Mr.. Clay's vote in the
election, and Of his acceptance OF the ONCE
which he holds. Can this be so! And must
he. 100 resign' Or has his apos,aey sufficiently
atoned for the crime!
