LITCHFIELD, JUNE 30, 1886.
TAe DeOsie and Smpl&s Revenue BM.-we have
copied in tOdays paper, very much ut large sundry
letters from Washington, giving account of the pro-
gess and passage Of this important bill through both
houses Of Congress, together with synopsis Of the bin
ITSELF twas stEenuously opposed in the first stages
of it by many members, who, from one cause or an
other, were at last brought in to s support the final
vote. Such was the case with the whole delegation
from this state in the lower house. When the blwas
first called up for consideration after its passage in the
Senate, they to man, following the Van Buren, cue,
voted against but in the course Of Its progress whe-
Their from the influence Of public sentiment not
unable to say, they were induced to give it their
support We have indeed heard it said and as COM
ing from who processes to know, that they had de-
clared their determination oppose it throughout as
unwise and impoltc measure-as a measure that
originated with Messrs Clay, Webster, Calhoun and
other members Of the oppositionwhich received their
strenuous and untiring support-and which must,
seqnently, as Van Buren, partizans, be opposed by
them So little regard have these men for their
try when brought into competition with their party
The force of reason and justice, however, glad
to learn did make an impression upon their minds and
they went together in support of the bill Inthe Sem
ate and House, it opposed far they dared to
oppose it at ALL by the leaders of the Van Buren, part
of the jackson party-Wrght, Benton Cambreling,
Mann, Ward &c.

81 The bill was retained in the hands Of the President
only couple Of days when 1t was returned with his
signature. It was supposed by many that he would
not sign it, but return ii with his veto This, says
correspondent Of the NJ Y. Courier, may be regarded
the most perfect and complete triumph Of patriot
ic minority, over naughty and sefsuicient MAORI
~, that can be found in the annals Of our country.
The following table is given by the National Intel
igencer as analysis Of the votes
upon the engrossment of the deposite bill in the house
of representatives which was considerable test VOTE
