The House is engaged upon the Tariff and
Revenue bill. Several gentleman spoke very
! ably upon it, to-day-Mr. Randolph, ofNew Jer-
sey; Mr.. Hunt, of N. Y; Mr.. Van Buren, of New
York and others
WASHINGTON, JUNE 81.
supposed, last evening, as 1 informed you,
that the Whig Senators had determined that the
provisional tariff bill should not be passed until
near the end of the present month ButIlearn,
to-day, that most of the Whig Senators are op-
posed to taking it up at all, and that it will not
probably, be either passed or rejected, or, in
any way further noticed by that body. This
determination is wise, in every po'nt of view
1t will be much better for the wings to make an
issue on the main revenue bill, now under dis
cussion in the House, than on the "ittle bil''
as it is called. There is no necessity for pas
sing temporary tariff bill. 1t was thought,
heretofore, that there would be no means of
collecting any revenue after the 30th June, but
that has proved to lie erroneous. So, the very
idea on which the alittle bill" was based is aban-
doned as mistake. The President has direct
ed circulars to be issued under the law, to the
Collectors, instructing them as to the mode of
levying ard collecting duties after the 3Oth of
June.
The Senators are too wise to enter into con-
troversy with the Executive, when there is no
necessity for it, and no object to be gained by it
II is serviceable to them as party, to avoid
small issues, and to make great ones.
Mr.. Fillmore's Revenue Bill will pass the
House about the 4th of July, and towards the
end of that month, will 90 to the President. 1t
will conform with the recommendations as to an
adequate Revenue, but it will be adverse to his
Recommendation of a suspension of the Distr-
t. &c, 1u
Mr.. Tyler willYeto this bill, or any bill provd-
ing for distribution. Should he veto it, 1t is evI-
dent that it will make a terrible excitement in
the country-the consequences Of which cannot
we'll be estimated. No part of the loan can be
got until the revenue question can be settled
The Wings will not Gas Mr.. Cowan, of Ohio,
declared in the House, to-day, that he would
not) grant any further supplies to the Govern
ment without providing for the full execution OF
the distribution law INTACT, this veto will in
volve the country and endanger the govern
ment.
Among those who spoke on the Revenue Bill,
in the House to-day, were MIR. Cowau for pro.
lection and distribution, and MIR Kennedy, OF
Indiana, and Mr.. Steenrod, of Va, against
them.
The question was taken in Committee, on
Mr.. Habersham's motion to substitute his bill
for Mr. Saltonsta!l's proposed amendment, and
it was rejected, 81 to 65-but quorum voting.
No one was ready to take the floor. The de-
bate begins, already, to-day.
The House passed the Indian. Appropriation
Bill.
A message was received from the President,
in reply to a resolution of the House, calling on
him for copies of the Quintuple Treaty of Gen.
Cass; protest against it, or of any correspon-
dence between the Government Of France and
the United States, on the Right OF Search
The President states that the treaty has not
been officially communicated to him; and he
cannot at present, promuigate the correspon-
dence, without detrimentsto the public inter-
ests. ys.sg
Mr.. Preston, from the Military asAfaitsETe-
ported bill to re organize the Army. Hespro-
poses to retain $500 men-whch exceeds by
1900 the number fixed in the Army Appropra-
ton bill from the House. He supposed that the
number actually in service would never exceed
1000, under this bill-whch is less than we
had in 1903, when Mr. Jefferson was President.
This bill is intended to re-organise the Army on
proper principles, instead Of doing it in the crude
and ill.considered way proposed by the House.
Mr.. Walker occupied nearly the whole day in
an able speech against the Remedial Judicial
Bill.
