the tariff of 1912, our trade in foreign
imports re-exported abroad afforded large
and profitable employment to our mer-
chants, and freight to eur commercial ma
rine, both for the inward and outward
voyage; but, since the last tariff, this trade
is being lost to the country. The total
amount OF foreign imports re-exported
during the three years since the last tar
iff, both free and dutiable goods, is $33,-
3s4, 394-being far less than in any three
years Except during the war; since
1893, and less than was re-exported in
any one of eight several years. This
result is attributed to the combined result
of the cash duties and the tariff. If the
cash duties are retained, as it is believed
they should be, the adoption of the ware
housing system is recommended, by
which the foreign imports may be kept IN
store by the government. until they are
required for transportation abroad, or con-
consumption at bome-in wdich latter
contingency, and at the time when for
that purpose they are taken out of these
stores for consumption, the duties are paid,
and, if re-exported, they pay no duty, but
only the expense Of storage.
The favorable effect of the bill allow
ing drawback of our duties on foreign
exports carried through our ports 10 Ca
NADIA is shown, and an extension of the
system recommended, so as to permit the
expectation of Canada goods in transit
through our own ports to foreign coun-
tries
A reduction and graduation of the price
of public lands unsaleable at prerent rates,
in favor of settlers and cultivators, is re-
commended, as one of the means of in
creasing The revenue. 1t is alleged that
such reduction of the price ia favor of the
settlers would increase the wages Of la
Dor.
The constitutional treasury is earn
estly recommended, having no power to
make loans or discounts, or issue any pa-
per, ard confined to the use exclusively
of gold and silver.
In connection with the "treasury of the
constitution" the location Of branch
of the mint at New York is recon-
mended as place for keeping safely
the vast amout of revenue collected at n.
York, and also means of increasing the
coinage, and the circulation of gold and
silver.
The coast survey is rapidly progressing
having been extended eastward to the
eastern coast of Massachusetts, and south
ward nearly to the dividing line between
Maryland and Virginia, on the Chesa-
peake. Two new centres of operation
have been opened in North Carolina and
on the Gulf OF Mexico. The importance
of the light house system is referred to,
and the attention of Congress called to
the fact that from the Chesapeake to the
Capcs of Florida, our coast is badly ligh-
ted.
The report concludes by refarring to
the importance of charts of the exploring
expedition, and announcing that report

TEE TARIFF.

House OF REPRESENTATIVES, Dec. II, ,isf;
To the Hon. ROBERT ]. WALLER.
Secretary of the Treasury:
SIR: | am assailed in the official O
this morning, on account of the remarks
| made day before yesterday in debate on
the Message and your Report on the FL
nances.
The article purports TO be editorial
but, from the manner in which it speaks
of your motives and intentions, infer
that it has emanated from you, and there
fore feel called upon to notice it.
This article afirms that sit never en-
tered into the conception either of the
President or Secretary to recommend ex-
cisis." Now | know not, nor can the
official know, what entered into your
conception; but know it is your report,
and no language can make it palmer thanit
is. Here are your own words, as quo
ted al the time:
"En accordance with these principles, it
is believed that the largest practicable por-
ton of the aggregate revenue should be
raised by maximum revenue duties upon
luxuries whether grown, produced, or
manufactured at home or abroad"
Thus the same duty is proposed to be
levied on the articles indicated, "whether
grown, produced, or manufactured at
home or abroad"
In reply, it is said that ga duty is not
an excise" and, therefore, the Secretary
did not recommend an excise. This is
disputing about words: but | take it that
a duty levied on manufactures made "a-
broad" is an impost, and that a duty
levied on manufactures made at "home"
is an ercise. So that duty may be an
excise. But the nomc-the word er.
ciSc-lt seems is Objectionable. You
may change the name, but this will not
change the thing. The recommendation
is to levy duty on "luxuries, whether
grown. produced, or manufactured at
home or abroad" No ingenuity can ex-
plain this away, and the only escape is to
withdraw or modify il. Yet N.Y. cal
ling this "an excise is pronounced 10 be
an "egregieus misrepresentation. -
Now, if there be misrepresentation in
the case, submit who is guilty of it,
As in the case Of the l24 per cent. rev.
enue standard recommended in your cir
cular, which, when exposed, the official
said the Secretary had copied s'verbatim"
from an cid circulnr of 1892, SO, in this,
case, the Secretary may have copied this
suggestion from Mr. McDUFFIE's letter,
SO highly eulogizcd in the official, in
which he recommends the adoption of
this very rule TO levy the same duties on
domestic and fereign goods. This Mr..
McDUFFIE, however, says, els great
concession to the manufactures; for, in
strict justice, he thinks the whole of the
duties should be taken of the foreign and
put On the American manufacturer. -

On the evening of the 18th uit., Gel. Houston deliver
ed an address in New Orleans. He gave a succinct his
tory Of the connection OF Texas with Mexico, showing
tae causes which led 10 their separation, and also gave a
brief history Of Texas since the acquisition Of her inde-
~pendence. The account Of the remainder OF bis address
we give from the Commerc,ai Bulletin
ain conclusion, Gen Houston spoke Of the subject OF
annexation, stating that be had shown his partialiiy for
the measure by voting for Il in 1896, and despatching, im-
mediately on his accession te The Presidency, in that year,
a special envoy TO bring the subject before the cabinet nj
Washington The subject remained before the Cabinet,
he continued, until 1888, when il was thought 10 be con-
trary to true policy and TO the dignity Of Texas to further
.imp0riune, and the proposition was Withdrawn. The
subject then slUmbered until he was again chosen 10 The
Presidency, m 1871, WREN he instructed MIR. Riley, who
was minister at Washington, to bring the subject again
before our Government. Again, he said, Texas was
treated cayalierly, and the proposition was not pressed
until MIR. Van Zandt BECAME the Texan resident m the
u. s., when he solicited Instructions on the subject Of
annexation, and he was referred to the former letter to
Mr.. Riley with directions to open negotiations should a
favorable opportunity occur.
With this statement of facts, Gen. III. said he would
leave the public to infer whether he was opposed TO, or
in favor of, annexation. II was true, he said, that he had
coquetted a little with Great Britain, and made the Unit
ed States as Jealous of that power as he possibly could
and had il not been, he said, for the eagerness Of the
Texan Congress in passing and sending to this country
declaration, that nine-tenths Of the people were IN favor
Of the measure, he would have so operated on the fears
&C the American Senate that The prize would slip through
their grasp, as to have procured the, ratification Of lhs
treaty last spring. With that assurance in their hands
however, he said, the Senate could attend to other mat
ters al that time, and deal with Texas a. their leisure.
lie then stated that there exists but one sentiment IL
Texas, and that is in favor of annexation that he Is per
fec;ly sure that the Texan Executive, 50 far as he can d.
il. will carry out the measure in good faith that wheI
Congress meets they will give their assent to the mea
sure, as the President has already given his and tina
when the special deputies of the people meet in Conven
ton, in pursuance Of the Presidents proclamation, tina
will ratlfy the act with every solemnity, and then tn
country will present an united front. He said there wa
no opposition among the people he was sure the Pres
dent would moi, nor would he himself, ~interpose on
breath in its way.
Gen. H.. then alluded, in very graceful terms, to tb
object Of his present tour, which il once more TO have a
interview with General jackson before the death of tia

Gin my encampment, every thing was ready for action,
when, early on the morning OF the sh the enemy, after
throwing a heavy shower of bombs and Congreve rockets,
advanced their columns on. my right and left, TO storm my
from Gen. Jackson's despatch Of
the 9h Of January, 1918, TO James Monroe, Secretary of
War.
Would that we had the voice of a silver trumpet,
so that we could send its sharp notes of watchfulness
and warning to the Democracy Of Indiana, and CON-
mend to them, in the political contest near at hand,
the example of vigilance and readiness for action,
evinced in the extract above.
The eyes of the whole country are upon us, bright
with the anticipation of a glorious victory, which
shall place us in the Democratic constellation second
only to Virginia, whose republican triumph we have
recently recorded.
The veteran, Richie, of the Washington Union,
sayS''We expect to carry Indiana by a triumphant
majority" Let us see to it that the expectation be
realized.
The indomitable Medary, of the Ohio Statesman.
says-''Indiana is seeking a political Importance that
she should not lose-let her noble democracy follow
up her victories of last year, and Ohio in October
next will again wheel into line in a style that will be
interesting and permanent" Here is a double mo-
tive for a-ctivity-success and its good fruits for our
selves the honor Of becoming %exemplars to others.
Let us not forfeit our title to these, by our want Of
energy and spirit.
The ''skies are bright" As the Jefersonian says
1.-The news from the different parts of this State in
regard to the prospects of the Democrats at the next
August Election is of the most cheering character.
We are much mistaken in the signs of the times if
the Democrats Do not elect a handsome majority to
The next legislature, and eight or nine of the ten
members of Congress. The Democrats in the differ
ent counties and Districts are bringing out their
strongest men and preparing for the contest
Yes we shall maintain the position won by the
generous valor of all our friends, and shall wipe
away the reproach once uttered, that "Iaaiana has no
politics -
Though long the tempest daIkened DER US,
Aud Freedom sank beneath the wave,
Hoist, hoist our flag, for bright Before us,
Hopes beacon shines to cheer the brave"

In the case of this individual, who was lately con-
victed N the Union circuit court of the murder of
John Champ, perpetrated some five or six years agu
in Franklin county, the Executive has, under a law
of the State, committed the punishment of death into
confinement at hard labor in the State Prison for life.
The change was applied for in behalf Of the prisoner,
and recommended by the Court, nearly all the jury,
and numerously signed petitions, especially from I'm
ion, Franklin and Decatur counties, where the trans
action happened, the parties lived, and the trial took
place. The prisoner viii be taken to the State Prison
forthwith. A chole life,-embittersd by confinement
at hard labor, is In the opinion of many, worse
than tie loss of life itself, and affords an awful warn
ing.

Sunday evening, June Sth, at six o'clock.
On Sunday morning the reportreached Nash

him from his chair to his bed. He however
recovered for a few hours. A short time be-
fore his death, he took an affectionate leave
of his friends and domestics, retaining to the
last, his senses and intellect unclouded. He
expired with the utmost calmness, expressing
the highest confidence in a happy immortal
ty through a Redeemer.

We received this intelligence from Col. ].

ton from Texas, and who is now on his way

The simple announcement of this melan-
choly, though long expected event, will cx-
cite the deepest emotions in the hearts of the
American people. The memory Of Jackson
belongs to his country. Her history will
contain the record of his valuable services
his sterling patriotism, and a nations graft
