WASHINGTON, Saturday Evening
Navy Approprlation-Mr. Cushing-The Ta-
rlH-No Duel, &c.
There has been no action in Congress to-day
The Senate adjourned over yesterday, and the
House has been engaged in the discussion Of the
Navy Appropriation Bill Mr.. Gushing made very
able and udicious speech, replying at length to the
attacks upon the Navy from all quarters, and en-
forcing the necessity of liberal appropriations. Mr.
Cushing is one of the very few men in the House
who never undertake to discuss question without
understanding it in all its branches-hence his
speeches always instructive always to the point,
and never fail to produce an impression. Scarcely
a man in the country has been much abused and
misrepresented.
With the exception of Mr.. Adams, who is sui
eeneris, Mr.. Gushing has probably more varied and
extensive information than any man in Congress
He possesses admirably disciplined mind, powers
OF analysis and demonstration rarely exceled, and
habits of industry and patient investigation equal TO
the most elaborate researches. He not only has the
faculty of acquiring and expressing, but he has genius
to create. AS speaker he is awas accurate in his
facts precise and logical in his style, and impressive
in his manner-as a writer clear, forcble, and occa-
sionaly eloquent. A combination of so much cru
dition with vigorous an intellect, judgment so
sound and a head so clear, would ensure distinction
to any man. Mr.. Gushing is young TO have achieved
the eminence he now enjoys, and it can hardly be
doubted that he is destined TO career of much use
fitness and honor
The navy appropriation bill is to be taken out Of
committee Monday, and will probably pass the
House on Tuesday. The army bill is expected to
come up next. That may be disposed next week,
and then comes a long and ACRIMONIOUS discussion
on the tariff. The committee on finance will endea-
vor TO get up the exchequer, but there is hardly
possibility hat it will be touched in either house
the present session. The fate of the tariff is very
doubtful but the chances arc against its passage.
The high tariff men, with degree of folly hardly
conceivable, will mix up the question of distribution
with 1t, and probably swamp every thing. On this
subject most Of the wings are blndly fanacal. The
distribution law is abstraction-a dead letter,
by its own terms never could have been carried with
out the clause which every body knew would render
it imperative; yet the wings are ready 10 rlsk every
thing, the credit of The governments the prosperity Of
the country to preserve this monument of their
perlative wisdom A measure of questionable expe-
diency, even with an overflowing treasury, but OF
unutterable folly when the government is staggering
under load of debt, and unable TO borrow, the
wings intend to violate the compromise by which
they carried the law through, and make distribution
unconditional, absolute. A precious bargain the
country got in the wing victory of 1910. As was
said of the late revolution in England, we dis
posed to rejoice at the change as it delivered us
from government disgraceful in many respects,
and looked upon the defeat of Van Buren, as an evil
dence of convalescence and improving health in the
public mind. But the wings have disappointed
every body. All their bold pledges are shabbily
evaded, and all their big words shamefuly eaten.
They are incompetent TO carry on the govern
ment, and it will be happy thing for the country
when President Tyler finds majority in Congress
who have connexion with that most i,npracti-
cable and incapable party.
