WASHINGTON, Monday, 8 p. M.
Day OF Adtournmcnt Fixed - Tariff Bill
Passed-Treasury Notes-Another Veto I'm
Anticipation.
The agony is over-the tariff bill has passed both
Houses, and only requires the signature of the
President to become the supreme law of the land
No doubt is entertained about the sanction of the
Executive, and we shall have tariff to which
majority of both Houses are opposed-which is
against the better judgment of majority of the
people, and to which the President will assent with
great reluctance Butte the exigencies of the
try every thing and every body must yield some
thing of prejudice, and sentiment, and feeling.
motion in the House to lay the bill on the table,
was rejected by vote of l2l to g. The amend.
ments of the Senate were then concurred in by ac-
clamation.
Wednesday at O'Clock is fixed upon as the time
of adjournment and every thing is hustle and confu-
sion.
The Senate have passed the bill repeating the re-
strictive clause in the distribution law by vote of
% to 10, and the election law by nearly the same
vote. The first will be vetoed as matter of course;
the second, it is to be hoped, he will put in his
pocket
The Treasury note bill has just passed the House
by small majority.
The lntelligencer of this morning contains the law
in an official form, which changes the mode of fur
nshing stationery printing, Irvine, &c, for the de-
partments here, and the postoffices and custom
houses throughout the country. All these articles
are to be furnished by contract, and by the lowest
bidder The law Is distinct and explicit, and can
not be eyaded, for the accounts and vouchers being
sent to the Treasury and Postoffce departments
here, will be accessible and convenient to a Com
mttee of the House, and violation of it would GER
anly be followed by punishment The saving to
the Government will ultimately be considerable,
but for the present not much will be gained for of
many of the articles, postoffice blanks, mail bags,
NC, there are enough on hand now to supply the
dema.d during the Presidential term
