| THE DlSTRlBU ZION CUES HON.
WAsuiNGToN, August 27.
The Wings Of the House OF Rrpresen-
tativcs yesterday succeeded in getting
through tn, committee of the Whule, and
sending To the Senat =, bill to repeal the
provision OF the Land Act Of last Session,
which ends tho operation OF that act
in the event of duties being laid upon i'm
ports at a higher rate than 90 per cen, ad
caRorem. L ey have thus made Il noble
reply 10 those OF thclr enemies who &C.
cuse them Of trucking to abused power,
and to such of their frifn S as sem 10 un.
derstand them as having yielded The prln-
ciple of The Distribution Act III their re.
cent vote for the pending Tariff Bill.
| Should the bill unhapplv not become n
law in consequence of a further interven-
ton Of the Presidential Veto, the People
have at least the security Of tho solemn
pledge, rendered by this bill, that when
ever the Executive and Legislative bran
chcs Of the Government shall be Of the
same Wing politics-,hat is 10 say, at the
| first Session Of Congress after the 81 day
Of March, lS45-the restrictive provision
in the Distribution Act will be repealed,
and the provisions Of that just and wise
act be allowed To take thar full fleet.
Ii is remarkable that the bill, which
passed yesterday, 10 repeal the rcstllc-
ton in the Distribution Act received q
majority OF votes larger by ten than that
! ny NitlCli lllt l'lSli lDuilpii lihoo-
ed the majority Tor the original bill be-
ing eight votes, and that for the bill pass
ed yesterday eighteen votes.
TIE REMEDIAL JUSTICE BILL
Another very important net yesterday
passed the House Of representatives,, be-
ing that for giving jurisdiction to the
courts of the United States and foreign
nations, so as TO prevent collisions between
the State Governments and the General
Government on matters which the Con-
sttution has placed exclusively within the
authority and scope of the latter Govern
mcnt. This bill passed, we were sorry
to see, by majority less than we could
have desired but happily it has passed
and may be the means Of preventing
hereafter any such difficulties Us similar
decisions to that of the S1preme Court of
the State Of New York in the Mcleod
case might in the course OF time involve
the country in. This bill, it will be re-
collected, has already passed the Senate,
and, having received no amendment in the
House of Representatives, requires only
! the SIGNATURE of the President INV whom
