The lock has never been found On examina-
ton it was discovered, that the shot were about
one third of the way up the barrel, and SO firm
ly bruised together and transfxed, that they
could not be dslodged by an iron ramrod and
hammer. We received no injury, except the
pain which arose from the insertion of one par.
ticle of powder in the left eye-d, and shock
similar to that which We once felt when within
fifty feet of tree struck by lightning. We
have come to the conclusion that il is danger
Gus to shoot shot out of rife And as for our
selves we have to say, that the next time we
shoot shot, particularly email shot, from rife.
it will be in the field Of battle, when our bullets
are exhausted.
MEEMoNIc. It cannot be concealed, that it
is to Mr. Calhoun, and a few other Southern
men, we are indebted for the establishment. in
1916, of the principle of the tariff, or, as christ
ened BY Henry Clay, the American System"
In the message to Congress Of December,
1916, Mr.. Madison distinctly announced the
principle, and recommended to Congress to act
upon 1t. He talked about the protection dus
to the persons whose interests were at stake.
He recommended the selection of the Jranchea~
more especially entitled to the public patronage.
This part Of the message was referred TO The
committee of Ways and Means, of which Mr.
Lowndes was chairman. The other members
of this committee were Messrs Burwell of Va.
Taylor of N. Y, Robertson of Lou. Ingham al
Penn, and CASTOR of N. C. This committee.
a majority of whom were Southern men, re.
ported the bill which became the first protect.
ing tariff established by tho Congress of the
United States.
OF that section of the tariff bill which provided
for duty of 30 per cent. ad valorem, on cotton
goods, for two years. 25 per cent. for the two
years following, and 20 per cent. afterwards, 80
as the duty should be only 90 per cent the
yeas were 65, tie nays SO. Three votes, chang
ed from the nays would have settled the cues
tion against protection. Mr.. Calhoun, Mr..
Chappell, and Mr.. Mayrant of s. c., voted for
the establishment Of the protection.
