,ou,all articles now free Of duty. saving a
fres-iis, in favor ofmanulacluters-pas
Two readings in the House, aud was ORDER
ed 10 be eusrossed for third reading. II
will, undoubledly, pass the House TO- NOR
row. This is the bill by which the tax on
Iururics was 10 be laid, to supply Tie va
cuum in tho Treasury, occasioned by the
Distribution Bill. Amongs, these luxurles
are. Tea and Coffee, from which, at least,
half Of the duties will DO raised. The
equal adyalorcm principle on which the
Bills placed isright enough-and lis ad-
vocates prolesscd TO keep strictly within
the Compromi9o Act. Tho economical
administration" stipulated for in that act,
is shewu ia the Distribution Bill. and the
other projects Of profuse expeudi'ure--apd
the drain on the Treasury being just as
that act requires to raise the duties TO sup
ply il, is Of course, also as it ough, to be.
The 90 per cent which the Bill lays. on
iewelry. silks and fac !ineus, is all n hum
bug. Such duty cannot be collected {;
but then they bad talked so much about
taxes on luxuries, il must be put on paper
al least. This Bill will share the fate Of the
Distribution Bill in the Senate. I( the
country stands such legislation as this. and
its other kindred measures, il is ready for
q Cesar.
WASHINGTON, July 81.
10 the Scuate this morning the bill TO
incorporate the Banks Of the District Of
Columbia was taken up, the question be-
ing on allowing them TO use the paper OF
non specie paying banks. which after a
warm debate was carried, every whis pre-
sen, voting for it. An amendment was
then offered proposing to allow them TO is
sue one and two dollar notes. This was
strongly opposed BY tho Democratic Sem
ators, who allnded to the fact that the char
ter ofrThe Regulator" gave il the power
. oil issuing i've dollar notes, which would
have the effec, Of driving The gold curren-
cy out Of the country; now an attempt Is
!, made To drive the silver out oi circulalion;
and if the s'paper party" remained IN
power, the next effort would be to drive
copper coin out OF circulation by the sub
s,iiution Of .shin- -plas,ers." The amend
nent was defeated by majority OF oho--
three Wings voting against it. The bill
was then ordered 10 be engrossed Tor
third reading. A bill making apProprIa
lion for the suppor, Of the lunntics OF The
District was then taken up, and after de-
termined opposition by four or hvo of the
Democratic Scuasors, il was ordered 10 be
engrosscd for third reading. The Bill
making an appropriation fora Home squad
ron was then taken up and after few
words of explanation, was ordered TO be
eugrcsed and subsequently ii was read
third time aud passed, and now wants but
the signature of the President TO become
law. A motion was then made 10 adjourn
until Monday next. Mr.. Clay Of ofAlabama
objected. Mr.. King said if the gentleman
on the opposite side o: the House would
promise not 10 reproach the Democratic
Senators with delaying the public business;
aud if they though, the business could be
delayed withou, Inconvenience TO the sul-
fering and asouizcd pcople, whose cries
ior "action," action" We had heard so
much about, he would withdraw his oppo-
siion. This sally excited much mcrri-
men,, and the pledge being given, the mo-
tion was pu, and carried amid roars Of
laughter from all sides Of the chamber.
In the House, the Tariff Bill was taken
out Of Committee and au almost nfuty Of
amendments were offered 10 il, which were
generally voted down. The bill was then
