MONDAY NIGHT, JULY ct, 1876.
CONGRESSIONAL.
CITY OF AsHIN GTo N.

The Senate, to-day, was occupied in the eonside-
ration the tariff BILL and an exciting session il
was. Mr. Webster concluded his speech against
the bill, end, relinquishing his original purpose of
moving It's postponement to next session, moved to
amend ltby striking out the last clause Of the ninth
section. Pending this motion, Mr.. J. M. Clayton
made series Of motions--the first committing the
bill to the Finance Committee, and directing them
to restore the specific duties; this was lost by vote
26 to y, Then came another motion commit
ting the bill to the same committee, with insiruc-
tons to make all duties on raw materials which in
the bill are to the prejudice of mechanics and manu-
facturers, comfortable to the rates Of the act of
l642 and to raise on all other articles the duties so
as to produce adequate for the exgences of
the country. This was adopted by vote of %
to 81.
A great deal of animated and interesting discus
sion took place, of which we give as copious re-
port as circumstances admit.
In the House, the bill on the Speakers table es-
tabshing a warehousing system, which had been
made the special order for to-day, was referred to
the Committee of the Whole on the state of the

and that gave authority to the President to adopt
measures for the verfcation of the title 10 the Pea

The House then took up, in committee, the bill to
amend the present postage law. We give the items
in another column. Several amendments were in
dicated but no final decision was made. Mr.. Hop

(Nova scotia) Sun, of July 9Th:
FOURTH OF JULV.-The " star-spangled banner"
Of the neghboring republic was displayed from the
hagsta Of the American consul and from the mast
head of all the American vessels in port, on Satur-
day, the 4th. Our neighbors have reason to remem-
Der and be proud of the grand achievement of their
national independence, and we should not detract
from the merit of that achievement, because thereby
some Of the brightest jewels were pIucked from the
British crown. None but Englshmeu, Irishmen,
and Scotchmen, and their sons, could have achieved
it; and we should be proud to think that If old
mother country was worsted in the fight, it was by
the indomtable pluck and perseverance Of her own
sons.

Bygiying the following an insertion in your pa.
per OF TINS evening or il be at all possibe) you
wli obbge number of your friends The subject
Is Que Of the greatest importance, as far as The
justice OF II Is concerned
could say much in relation TO the iniauity Of the
oral protest which leaves 10 the power OF one mani
memory (for his friends) TO draw money from the
treasury as 1t were, at his will; but have RETAINED
Besides, the fact that protest is not required from
BRUSH importers for refunding to them the excess
OF duties levied prior to 1872 makes us hope that il
may be that government would be ashamed to exact
IN the sight OF the world what might be considered
us an sre,ss for not paying what is Justly due.
Out are WEI wrong our own people, relying on
hs secrecy OF the aetoni trust not; and hope that
Congress will take the first opportunity to inquire
l''to INC merits OF the case, and If there is law
prior 10 10th February, l645, making il necessary
TO protest, they will direct the Treasury Depart
ment not 10 give It a Retrospective action. To the
oest OF my recollection, there Is no such law and
yet the department acts if there was

For the Union.
We understand that according to the late conven-
ton with England, excess of duties il 10 be re-
funded, whether paid under protest or not; TO this
we can see no objection. But we would ask one
question, Wis Why should our own citizens he de-
barred OF the same privilege Many OF our inn
porters' and these, too, OF the richer class did pro-
test at the time of their first entries, be-
fore 1889, and have been accordingly re-
funded at the Treasury Department; but the
smaller class of importers, all devoted to their
business transactions, never thought that they
ought to study law, in order to guard against the
miSeonstructon OF the collector appointed by gov
eminent for that purpose. And are that Gloss Of in
dustrious citizens who have actually suffered from
the competition of those Who relying on their return
OF excess, could afford to undersel them-are those
importers TO be refused their portion of excess of
duties whilst even British subjects called upon
by their counsels TO forward their claims to the
British minister at Washington, to have them adj
lusted, without even mentioning protest of any kind
In fact, what does this Formally Of protest amount
To, (oral or wrttenO Docs it make the claim moro

does more than justice to the distinguished
tor to whom it refers, reached us too late for inser
ton in Saturdays paper. The delay which has oc-
Cured, and the consequent nen-ful6iment of the
wish expressed by our correspondent, would have
caused US some regret, had not the triumphant pas
sage of this great western been already
nounced in our columns. Ii affords US, however
much consolation to know that those who have
read in the "Union" the success of the bill, will,
through the same medium be enabled TO appreciate
the untiring industry and vigilance of its eloquent
champion to whose efforts, we believe, the success
Of the measure may be mainly attributed.
HON. SIDNEY BREEsE.
To the Editor ofhe Union:
To-day, You know, the western nseasurs--the
peculiarly and truly western mensnre--the river
and harbor bill-passed the Senate by most graft
flying majority.
/ wish the "Union" that carries the joyous news
the west bear thither also Just tribute to the
honorable senator from Illinois, who saved the bill
from the necessity of again running the gauntlet Of
the House.
Do not be alarmed, Mr.. Editor; am not about to
ask you to give place in your crowded columns for
euogy upon any friend however valued by you
or by myself Judge Breese needs eulogy-his
business talent speaks for ITSELF
What wish to say to our western friends, is
this: when it was discovered by the enemies of the
hill that it could not be defeated in the Senate they
desired to vote on TO 1t an amendment; thai would
carry it back to the House again, and thus secured
another chance to defeat the bill Amendments Of
secure for themselves the votes Of friends to the
measure proposed to be amended, and hence the
danger of them in times of peril.
On Tuesday the great danger was, that an amend
ment would be adopted striking out small sum al
lowed for the improvement of harbor near Chica-
go. The harbor ridiculed, deprecated, and be-
Titled until it seemed as though the item would have
to be stricken nut to enable any honest man to vote
for the bill. 1t was then that Judge Breese came
to its rescue. OF his speech at that trying moment
will only say that it saved the item, and, as be-
lieve, the bill II was opportune, energetic and eo
quent, and admirably exhibited the power, ability
and influence Of the senator ls friend blameable
for desiring the west to know ,oho has really rem
dered it an important service at an important
menI For we Of the west love those who defend
our bills to improve
