THE TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 81. 1872.
Eror WaahinatoR.

Our advices from Washington this morning are
highly favorable TO the passage Of a Tariff. The
Senate, as will be seen, are busy with amendments
which will probably be sent to the House and
there eoncurred in to-day. It is therefore likely
tina. Congress win adjourn early next week, and
le.ye the bill with the President. 1t will be noted
that tho Committee on Public Lands have report
ed an amendment to the Law repeating the proUi-
so that distribution shall cease at 90 per cent du
ties. If this pass both Houses of Congress
it will eaectually separate the Tariff and Land Dis
,ibution and leave the President to veto the latter
per Sc.
The Intelligencer again mentions the design
believed by Member Of Congress to exist,
among certain members, to leave Congress without
a quorum on Monday. We scarcely think there
can be any such intention.

The Eato Power.

We believe we have already acknowledged the
receipt of pamphlet Of nearly eighty pages con
tanning Review Of John Tyler's strange Exercise
Of the Veto, together with plan for change OF
the Constitution relative to this Power We az
lude to it again for the purpose OF bringing INTO
more general notice the authors Elan which 1t
NAV be well for the public attentivaly to consider,
since the tone of public opinion clearly indicates
that, before any great length of time shall have
elapsed, even if it be not accomplished as soon as
many might desire, some limitation will be i'm
posed upon the exercise of this power. The plan
is briefly unfolded by the writer as follows
Whenever the President shall not approve bill passed
by both Houses Congress- he shall return win his OBJ
II II the ground Of objection be other than the uncons-
aionay Of The b ; na s~ by @
orty q two votes the Senate and by majority in the
House of Representatives equal to the average number OF
III If the ground Of objection be the unconstutionay
of the BILL the question Of its constusionay shall be re-
Of spch reference the President and the
Houses shall within son ne be- e prr
pared by persons whom hsy shah that purposs
in writing on such question OF CONSTITUTIONAL
Such reference SHALL soon presented with .hs ar
both dss and dsede all ooer 0as
WI In their decision of the question, the Supreme Court
by the principles OF
and of authority precedent If the question arose De-
tween individuals. .:.;
by the President be its shall at once be
come by the decision of the Supreme Court ~ asor
of constitutonay and without the signature OF the gre
sident
VIII The arguments presented to the Court with its de-
csion and the grounds thereof which shall be delivered in
writing, shall Be immediatey made public.
This would certainly seem to possess many adj
vantages over the mode proposed by Mr. ADAMS,
by which the constitutionalty as well as the exPe-
disncy of all vetoed bills should be established by
second passage by majority. There is an obvi-
oss propristy in referring questions Of sonstitu-
,ionality to tho Supreme Court-the tribunal ex-
pressly designated by that instrument to decide
upon It's intent; and it would seem quite as clear
that matters of mere expectancy should be left
tirely to tho decision Of Congress. The principle
Of this plan, while it duly respects and would pre-
serve the rights Of the People, is still sufficient,
conservative At all it is worthy of discus
sion and close examination. Our readers will find
in the Pamphlet, for sale at Wiley & Putnam's,
strong argument in its favor, and strong, ee-
susnt rebsks Of our accidental President with
clear exposure Of the fatal tendency of the princ
pies on which he has thus far administered the Cor

lars Of the disaster and the loss suffered, arc
sufficiently stated in the Patriot of last evening, to
render any full reference 10 them necessary by me-
The whole loss by the disaster is variously est
mated at from twenty to hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. [ think the loves, sum will cover
the amount.
About 6ftv-four feet Of the OhieRailroad, near

Correspondence of The Tribune.

ALBANY Thursday Aug. Is, ~
Dear SIR: The Legislature have at last aban-
doued their petty qubbling on points of ORDER and
both Houses begin to assume something OF their
general business appearance. The Speaker, you
arc aware, after maintaining his point as long
he could consistently, finally concluded that petit
tioas, etc., were in order, and they are received
accordingly. The least invasion on this sacred
right, am glad to see, arouses tho patriots of
both parties.
TODAY the HOUSE have SO for receded from their
strict construction of the special resolution Of adj
isurnment, us to suspend Its torce to permit the
introduction of concurrent resolution directing
the Comptroller to suspend the sale Of the New
York and Erie Railroad till the first Tuesday in
Nav next. This will probably be adopted by the
House, as it was to-day by the Senate
The Senate Apporrionment bl which the ma
iorisy passed so quietly in order that it might be
as oil ON the troubled waters Of the Assembly was
to-day reported by the Select Committee to which
it was referred in such shape, that it might ca
sily pass for twin brother of Mr.. Rogers's BILL al
though before this process the likeSess was any
thing bu. striking 1t does not give entire salts
faction to many Of the majority. Tomorrow 1t
will be usder consideration in the Committee of
the Whole. Mr.. SIMMONS to-day concluded his
unsnswerable argument upon the Protest resolu-
zion. with regard to the conssitusioaality of the
Congress Apportionment bill. Gen. Dix or the
Admiral will find it hard to meet the Gentleman
from Essex on this ground
A silly msaeuvre transpired in the House,
Some Member proposed an afternoon session, but
the proposition was rejected. Another proposed
10 o'clock A. NJ. as the hoar of rneeting-rejec,-
ed another, 9 A. N.-carried. And then another
proposition was made to lay the whole matter on
the table, and rejec,ed-and so to the end. On
all these movements the ayes and noes were called.
AT least one half Of the session was thus consumed
in frivolous and uadisni6ed wrangle on matter
which could easily have been decided in FIVE
minutes.
The deyotedness of the Wings in Congress in
passing the Revenue bill, is duly appreciated here.

IN their praises; and though the sacrifice was hard,
