Correspondence of the Express.
WASHINGTON, Nov. II.
In less than two weeks, the members of Con-
gress reasonable in this cty,-n what mood,
and with what temper to discuss public affairs,
we soon shall see. The Wing party is wiser
| than when it met vetoes with a manifesto, and
perhaps its heads have learned something with
in the last ninety days. Ifso, and if profit comes
by experience, what we have lost can be very
easily rcgained. If, however, we go to making
Presidents or to prevent Presidents being made
there is very large class of voters called the
People who will "head' us all as well as soap
tain Tyler" for long while to come. They
will be very likely to look on, and see "the
great men, knock their own brains out.
Through the extra session Of congress was
one OF uncommon interest to the country, the
long session promises to be not less so This
long session, beginning in December, will prob
ably extend to July. 1t is to open, as usual,
with abolition and abolition petitions, (which
subject is now the prosccnium of the play
The famous DIST Rule it will be reccolected
was settled for only one session, which is over;
and therefore the whole matter comes up anew,
in about as difficult a way to settle as one can
, imagine, for the Northern Wings have moi
strength to receive the petitions without the
Southern Wbigs, and the Loco Focos vote any
and every way upon this matter, just to throw
in 4 fire brand now and then, and to hold the
balance Of power.
t Another matter of great Importance to the
country, apart from the currency, is that Of rails
r ing, Revenue. There is not revenue enough
to meet the expenses of the Government. We
must have more loans or levy more taxes. One
D ofthree things must be,-ether the repeal o
the bill distributing the proceeds of Public
r Lands, an additional Loan, or a higher Tariff
The loco Focos unquestonably will strike for
If repeal of the land bill the Wings have t.

y The great export of specie we are now hay
: ing the large import of foreign goods, the stat
:. of the iron trade particularly, and other matter
give renewed interes. to the discussion of tn
II Tariff: 1t is not probable that the People wi
ever again enter upon this discussion with tn
to fire and fury of 1921 ls25 and 1S32,-for tn
'n Tarnntcrcsts have much changed their loca
re tiles since then,--but the Politicians will storl
= as loudly as ever particularly that class Of Pc
iticians that grow old and never learn. Th
New Eng land capitalists, as | understand
are willing enough now that they are estal
ID lishcd, to take the Tariff as it is rather than ru
the risk Of great changes and an unsettled al
r. ton. They are built up many Of them
another part of the country again. Tariff il
~ terests have grown up since 1882 Virgin
II and North Carolina, for example, now have
II considerable manufacturing interests. III
St Cotton factories near Richmond and in Peter
be burg are large. Negro goods they are the be
lat makers of, perhaps, for they best understai
he the wants Of their own market. All this chan!
ofintercst and feeling will take away the pow
Of exciting the public on this matter, and
by many cases give new views to public men.
'st, is not be Disguised however, that some class
,ey Of manufacturers Will be quite broken down
the the compromise Bill goes into full effect, a
md that such classes viii be very clamorous for
lar higher Tariff. Pennsylvania is the great su
oS, ercr OF the day. As she is State upon who
sed among the first, the opposition must rely for CO
Nla, ing into power, her voice will unquesionai

Tor men.
In what point of view, the administration "
lcy, regard this Tarfiquestion, cannot say. Il
ade President is anti-Tarf. His Secretary Of I
ex- Treasury is dccdedly Tariff The cast of t

RE- the question will be looked at as as it was
