The Tarih-TermlnatiOn OF the Session
The Views of the President.

The action of Congress on the subject of reve.
nue., and the termination of the session, are still in
vowed in the greatest doubt The prevailing OPT
mon Is, however, that we shall have no duties
above twenty per cent. The Tariff bill will, I'm.
quesuonably, be sent to the President in such shape
that he cannot sanction it. This is the purpose and
determination of the Clay majority. They have
framed II with view to secure "a veto, and they
cling to distribution with certain knowledge of
such consequence.
The Judiciary committee of the House have n
bill prepared for an explanatory or declaratory law.
carrying out the spirit of the compromise act and
levylng duty OF twenty per cent on most imported
articles, and leaving the mode OF valuation the same
as provided by the act of 1882. Mr. Barnard has
made several efforts to get the bill before the House
but he has uniformly failed. Such BILL embracing
lea and coffee, would give very large revenue
he law OF 1882, provides that the I'D raioren rates
OF duty on all imported goods wares and merchan
dlze shall be estimated by adding to the actual cost
IN the foreign market, all charges, except insu
rance. II this bill once be got before the
House, it would probably prevail In such an even,
u Is doubtful whether any serious effort would he
made to pass Tariff bill without the distribution
feature, and an early adjournment might be anticipa
ted In the present temper of Congress. il would b.
the best thing for the country that could possibly
happen.
The bill that has passed the House is highly oh
Jectonable IN many respects. The duties on alarg,
number OF articles amount to total prohibition
Lead, iron, glass, and coarse wool are taxed so bio
that no revenue whatever will be derived from
them, and this is the case with many others In
fact, odous would this bill be to the mass of the
people, and so inurlously would it operate upon the
commercial and agricultural interests, that it NAV
wen be doubted whether the President would no,
feel himself constrained 10 withhold his assent to it.
even II The distribution feature was removed. He

The boundary Qucstioa-The Negotiations
In relation thereto

II is understood that the negotiations be,ween III.
agents OF this government and those of Grea
Britain, are about drawing to a close The 6pa
proposition tor the settlement of the boundary ones
ton has been made, and SECESSION is anticinateo
IN the course of the present week. The term.
under consideration are of such character ne n
render the result extremely doubtful Homes are
stu entertained that the matter NAV be sat;sfac,o
rily arranged, but these hopes are dashed with very
serious apprehensions.
The prevailing opinen seems to be that no sertle
ment Will now take place, and that arbitration will
no dosbt be resorted 10 again. There can be No
danger OF rupture with Great Britain on this pon,
OF difference, although fruitless attempt to adjust
1t will exasperate the difficulties and produce some
irritation on both sides.
Injustice has been done to Mr. Preble one of the
Maine commissioners, by some of the papers. The
agency OF this gentleman in procuring the non
concurrence of this government in the award of the
King OF the Netherlands more desirable arrange
ment, by the way, than we shall be able to effect
led to the belief that he might resist an adjustment
but IT is said, and from good authority, that Mr.
Preble has been anxious to conclude a treaty. a.
any OF his associates and that he has abored with
as much earnesness as any of them in ACCOMPLISH
ing a result so much to be desired.
In the mean time we are informed. from officia,
sources, that nothing can be done, until the special
messenger, Major Cook, sent out by Lord Ashbur
ton, on the LIST of July, returns with further nstruc
tons for his lordshlp.
In connection with this matter the Augusta Age
is of opinion, in respect the North Eastern Boun
dary that mo agreement can be contaminated
upon the terms and conditions expressed by the Lee
gslature of Maine, during their late Extra Session.

Maine can honorably acc pit On the other hand

that had not commissioners been sent to represent
New Brunswick, :" sad blow might have been

From all these facts we come to the conclusion
lna' satisfactory settlement of this vexed question
is still very problematical.
