The TARIFF-Ih project of the Sc
cretary Of the E.easnry.EWe publish
the following letter to the editor from
an able member of the delegation from
this State, as the views of sound re-
publican upon an important subject
Ii the positions of the writer shall not
be assented to by the reader, the facts
are entitled to consideration.
We are induced to think that the pro-
position of the Secretary viii undergo
some notifications at least; especially
in the duties on wool, salt, &c. If the
duty on low priced woods may not be
reduced, that on the higher priced may
be advanced.
"Washington City, aprH 80.
ssDear Sir: The report aud bill OF
the Secretary of the Treasury, are now
printing by order of the House of Re
representatives.. have not examined it
in detail, and can therefore only speak
of its general features.
.sOur present population may be stat
ed in round numbers at l2,500,0O0:
Our present taxes paid on imports S25,
100000, or tzuo dollars for every man,
woman and child year. New York
has about 100000, and pays at least
S4,0O0,000 in taxes each year to the
United States, beside all State, county,
city, town, road and other taxes.
'sThe Secretary of the Treasury pro-
poses TO reduce the taxes on the part OF
the United States, one half, that is,
from S23,O00,000 to Sl2,5O0,0O0. To
New York alone this will be saving
in United States taxes of S2,000,000,
or $4,000 to the citizens of the forty
congressional districts into which it is
proposed to divide the State. The say
ing in the tax of each city, county
town or village may be easily ascer
tanned, as it will be one dollar for each
soul; that is, about $4,000 to each o.
the New York counties, and at $4,000
to the city of Albany. The saving

In regard to the comparison drawn
by the majority between the condition
OF the bank in 1919 and now, the coun-
ter report says that the minority sscan-
not but regard the comparison thus
presented by the report as unfair and
partial, and calculated to produce inn
pressions on the public mind as abso-

prosperity
The counter report concludes with
the following unequivocal expression:-
''upon review of the whole ground
occupied in the examinations they have
made, the minority are of the opinion
that the affairs OF tho bank have been
administered by the President and Di-
rectors with very great ability, and
with perfect fidelity to all the obliga-
tons to the stockholders, to the govern
ment, and to the country. They regard
the bank as an institution indispensa-

rency, and to the financial operations OF
the government; and should consider
the refusal of Congress to renew the
charter, as a great national calamity.
"They will add, in conclusion, that
they are decided in the opinion that
Congress is called upon by the most
weighty and urgent considerations to
decide this important question during
the present session.

The muititudes of wild pigeons IN
our woods, are astonishing. indeed,
after viewing them SO often, and under
SO many circumstances, even now feel
inclined TO pause, and assure myself
that what am going to relate is fact;
Yet have seen it all, and that too, il
the company of persons who, like my,
self, were struck with amazement.
In passing over the barrens, few
miles beyond iIardensburg, (Ky.) ! OBJ
served the pigeons flying from north
east to southwest, in greater numbers
than thought mad ever seen them
before, and feeling an inclination to
count the focls that might pass within
the reach Of my eye, in one hour, dis
mounted, seated myself OH an cmincnce,
and began to mark with my pencil, ma
king dot for every flock that passed.
In short time, finding the task which

birds poured in, in countless multitudes,

down, found that I63 had been made

The air was literally filled with pig
cons: the light ofnoon-day was obscur-
ed as by an eclipse; the dung fell in
spots not unlike melting flakes Of snow.
and the continued buz Of wings had a
tendency to lull my senses TO repose.
ii may not perhaps be out Of place
TO attempt an estimate Of the number
Of pigeons contained in one of these
mighty ffocks, and of the quantity Of
food daily consumed by its Members
The inquiry will tend to show the as

Nature in providing for the wants Of

of one mile in breadth, which is far be-
low the average size, and supposing it

tly examining the counter-report Of the

scented n the house OF representatives

who, with him, constitute the minority
of the committee.
We have never witnessed the onera-
ton Of that submarine instrument Of
war called the torpedo; but we can
imagine its effects upon any object
against which it is directed. We can
think of nothing more figuratiye of the
effect of the counter-report upon the
document upon which it is counter,
than the blowing of vessel out of her
element by that continuance.
We will endeavor, in few words, to
give the reader an idea of the tenor of
the report, as it may be some days be-
fore copy of it can be obtained for
publication.
The report begins by examining the
six cases presented, in the report of the
majority, as subjects of imputation
touching the violation ofits charter by
the bank. These imputations are une-
quivocally condemned as unsustainable;
! and in some of the cases great credit is
given to the bank for the very transae-
tons which are in the majority's report
subjected to censure.
The case OF the loan to the editors of
the New York Courier and Enquirer
is next taken up and duly examined,
and the report tested by the evidence
in this case. This branch of the coun-
ter-report is concluded in the following
terms:--sUndcr the circumstances of
this case the minority Of the commit

there is nothing in these transactions

MR. PEcKHAm, -
We have no wish to arraign the motives TO
condemn the proceedings Of our Board of
Healib, the contrary believe il was in accor-
dance with the general opinion entertained
by the plblict they enucted and enforced
their rcgua.ions prohibiting in measure our
intercourse with places where tho Cholera
existed to any great extent, particularly New
York. The question now presents i,selfin a
different shape from what il did amonth past,
the disorder has very much abaiod in New
York, and bnt few cases have appeared east
ward of that city the fears ofthe people bavc
in great measure subsidized. and the danger
10 be npprehcnded from a renewed inter-
course appears small indeed. Besides pas
sengers are allowed to come direct from N.
Y. to Providence and almost every other
town in this bay, Middletown not excepted,
and theirentrance into this town, is not, ana
cannot be prevented. Our own citizens whose
absence is known TO their neghbors, have

while strangers come and 60 without being

quarantine in It's present rigid character an
swers no good purpose to the inhabitants
Of Newport, and operates in thous and
ways to their disadvantage. We hope
the Board of Health will soon see this
business in what we deem its true
light, and at least relax the laws, so far
as TO permit persons in health and vsssels
having no sickness on. board to pursue
their journey, on their usua. avocations
