Mr.. Clay stated that he was also an-
thorized to say that at proper time an
other amendment would be offered on the
subject of the valuation of goods, which
would be calculated to co,,ciliate the con-
Aicting opinions which had prevailed in
reference to that point. He was happy
to say that although there was SO short an
interval for tho action Of the two houses
on this bill, the Committee entertained
strong hopes that it would be found prac-
ticabie to effect some accommodation OF
this question before the close Of the pres
ent session. He was directed to move
that the amendments be printed, and iur-
ther to move that the bill and amendments
be made the special order for Tomorrow,
with the understanding that fthe measure
now pending before the Senate should
not be disposed of by that time, the bill
now reported would not be pressed TO IN
terfcre with that discussion.
The amendments were then ordered to
be printed, and the bill and amendments
were made the special order for te-mor-
row.
In the SENATE, on Saturday the 23d,
after attending the funeral Of Hon. Mr.
LENT ,and transacting some unimPortant
business, was taken up the
NEW TARIFF PROJECT.
On motion of Mr.. Clay, the Senate re-
sumed the consideration Of the "bill to
modify the Act passed July 18th, 1882,
entitled an act to aker and amend the
several acts imposing duties on imports"
the question being on MIR Smiths mo-
ton to strike out that part OF the "a sec
ton of the Bill which increases the duty
ON Kendall cottons and plains, sc. from
five per cent, to fifty. Mr.. Wright spoke
in favor Of the motion to amend. The
main object Of the bill WAS to concilIate
the South, and 10 reduce the revenue to
the wants Of the goveroment, but this Sec
ton was wholly Inconsistent with both o
those objects. The leading feature o
the tariff Of 1892 waa the reduction d
the duties on these articles Of Southern
consun ption. 1t was the most important
concession which we made to Southern
interests in that bill, and he did not see
the propriety of withdrawing it, in this
scheme Of Cancellation and compromise
lie also objected to the section that It in
creased, instead OF reducing the revenue
to the amount of five hundred thousane
dollars year. This question was dis
cussed at great length byNIessrs. Clay
Font, Forsyth, Buckner, Bell, Holmes
Sprague and Wright.
MIR. Chambers here stated new OBJ
lection to the Section, and indeed TO th'
whole Of the bill, viz that il is unconsti
