Abstract Of Con gressional Proceedings.
SATURDAY, Jan. 2l.

The SENATE did not sit to-day.
House or REpRKsENTATIvEs-Mr: JOHN CAMP.
BELL presented the report and resolutions OF the Lee
gislature of South Carolina on the subject of the
tariff.
MIR. GRANGER called for the reading of the resolu-
tons. and they were read.
They declate that the power over the tariff given
tn Congress by the Constitution ofthe United States,
was bestowed for the purpose of raising revenue and
for defraying the expenses of the General Govern
ment; that the late law OF Congress was passed to
afford protection to manufacturers, by discrimina-
ting duties was gross usurpation of power not
granted by the Constitution, and ought to be resist
ed that the Compromise act provides a revenue
standard; that no more revenue should be raised than
the Government that the Legislature of South Ca
rolna trust TO the avowed doctrines of the Democra
cy for relief and that, should they be disappointed
they must ADOPT such measures as may be expedient
to redress their wrongs and protect their property
The resolutions were referred TO the Committee of
Ways and Means, and ordered TO be printed

DRY DECISIVE have heretofore given eur opinion
in favor oil stone dock at Brooklyn but if floating
dock is TO be adopted satisfied that the Sec
ona one at the foot ofRutgers street the only one
entitled to any regard This is fully successful, on
a very large SCALE and no reason to doubt but
that il will answer every purpose full WELL and in
some respects better, than excavated dock 1t
evidently holds the vessel more equally and secure
against strain, and brings her more fully into the
light and air and il is inferior only in permanently
This disadvantage is made up by Its comparative
cheapness. This is the day of humbugs and New
York is the rich field where they flourish best but
the soil, productive is, is not quite the spot in
which 1t will do to attempt the growth of crude ard
untried projects TO the OF two or three hundred
thousand dollars from the public purse. 1t may do
to go on with a dock on the sectional plan, but no.
thing else will command the public appreciation
and the project of any other floating dock would be
considered perfectly futile by every ship builder or
shipwright in the city.

A Court Martial ordered-The somers Case.

court martial Ordered-The SOmers Case.
In our Washington correspondence 1t was stated
yesterday, that the government had ordered Court
MARTA TO be convened at an early day, to try Com
mander Mckenzie on the charge Of murder-that
this Court of Post Captains of the
Navy, and three Leutenants of the same grade as
Lieut. Mckenzie, and that Commodore Bddle
would probably be the President of the Court.
This important intelligence we find corroborated
by the annexed article in a. Washington paper of
Saturday.
From the Washington SPECTATOR
The SoNgRs.-We understand that a Court Mar.
tal has been ordered for the trial of Commander
Mckenzie, and that it will convene as promptly as
is practicable after the termination of the Court of
Enquiry, whose labors will probably close with this
week Article 81 of the I" Act for the better 60
vernment OF the Navy of the United States" ap-
proved April %, 1900, and which, we believe, has
not been abrogated by subsequent legislation pro-
, vides that g the crime of murder when committed
by any officer, seaman, or marine, belonging to any
rablic ship vessel of the United States, without
the territorial jurisdiction of the same may be pun
lshed with death, by the sentence,of Court Mar
tial.''
Notwithstanding these announcements we hardly
suppose that the government has actually ordered
Court Martial or will do so, till they receive the re-
port and decision of the Court of Enquiry which was
probably transmitted to Washington on Saturday
last. From the evidence already furnished through
the newspapers, it is probable that the charges are
drawn up and the preparations made, but no formal
Court Martial will be ordered till some time during
this week. But we have not the least doubt of its
coming. 1t is due to law and justce-it is due to
the governmental is due to the Maryland it is
also due to the rights of Commander Mckenzie, that
a Court Martial should be held-and that the whole
Of this melancholy affair should be calmly examined
and calmly adudlcated
While, therefore, this matter is still pending,
we shall abstain from any further remark, or
any further examination OF the evidence given
before the Court of Enquiry, that may look like
partiality or interference with the stream of JUS
lice. The organization and decision of this
Court Martial, supercedes any civil power what
ever. 1t will be final and conclusive. Every op-
portunity should be furnished to Commander McKen-
zle to establish before this court, the necessy-the
memorable necessity Of these atid e1ections-for on
this point the exculpation of his whole conduct
turns.
We trust, therefore, that every fairness may be
shown TO him and his fellow officers by the news.

Conclusion Of The iphole mntter.

The conclusions are that the locoloco party in
Congress was utterly opposed ia any Protective
Tariff at all; that it opposed the wool growers in
particular; that it opposed the present Tariff be-
cause it was too high /; aud that ii is pledged to
REPEAL IT. These conclusions flow from the
facts which are plain as noon-day, and known as
well to The locofoco editors ms TO ourselves. We
ask, then, do The Iocofoco leaders in Vermont
condemn their leaders in Congress? No !! they ap.
prove and sustain them !! /! Do they even OBJ
ect to those men who most distinctly expressed
their utter hostility to any protection ut all ? No !!
two Of these are candidates for President md
Vice President and the locofoco leaders Of Ver-
mont are already pledged to sustain these very
men ifnominated! They are wretchedy deceived
or wickedly dishonest; and whether you judge
the one or the Other The most just we submit
it as perfectly clear, that no confidence at all is
due TO the professions. Beware OF them!
