WASHINGTON, Wednesday evening
COngrcss-The TariM.

Correspondence of the Hcruld)
WASHINGTON, Wednesday evening.
Congrcss-The Tariff
The apportionment bill still fingers in the Senate.
I'm amendment postponing the operation of the dis
cting provision, until after the election Of the 18th
Congress, was carried this afternoon by vote of
-3to p. This vote virtually destroys the distric,inc
proposition, for the next Congress will be democratic
beyond all peradventure, and will alter the law in
any event. 1t probable, however, that the vote
will be reconsidered tomorrow, and the provision
reinstated, as i, came from the House. In such
case, there will be but single election under the
law. But that may be enough to create vast deal
of mischief. The law cannot fail to be repugnant to
the people generally, and many of the States which
might voluntarily elect in the manner prescribed,
will be reluctant 10 conform to acquisitions imposed
by Congress They will regard it an improper
assumption, and very possibly disregard it altoge-
ther The object sought TO be attained by wings Is
party entirely, and if the apportionment bill is
PASSED in the form they desire, vast deal OF trouble
and confusion must necessarily arise.
The House finally laid the motion to print an ex-
ira number of the Custom House reports on the table,
and then took up the extraordinary Tariff Bill re-
ported by the Committee of Ways and Means.
There was no action upon it, and nothing to indicate
the sentiment of the house No sane man supposes
II can pass, however. 1t is bill Of abominations
in every sense ofthe Neutrality-suspicious., defective,
and unjust to the last degree AS revenue bill, it
is feeble and imperfect beyond all example. The
duty on many articles is so high as to amount to
total prohibition, and which no revenue could
be derived from. The people would be taxed
enormously for the beenft of few manu-
facturers The action Of the present Congress
upon this great question has been wrong headed and
erroneous from the beginning. Competent and in
telllgent men, with practical business knowledge
and experience, could not mature tariff system
without at least years inquiry and investigation
Rnth half otpv lnunr npt
only of political economy, but of the operation and
effect of high and low duties the revenue, and
imports, who have no information as to the con-
dition of our manufactures, except such as to
has been derived from interested sources who are
haunted by phantom called "high tariff" which
they have been taught to regard panacea for all
evils under the sum- undertaking to perfect revenue
system in three weeks. The thing is preposterous,
and it to be hoped that the present laws for laying
and collecting duties will be continued in force for
another year, and measures adopted for gathering,
in the INTERIOR the information requisite for ntel-
gent and judicous action in the premises
