The CALIFORNIA EXPEDITION Stevenson
California expedition is to be composed OF me-
chancs of all kinds, professional men, and all
others who feel disposed to enlist in the service OF
their country and 20 to California, with the inten-
ton of remaining.
Among other articles to go there will be one or
two printing presses, accompanied by men to ope-
rate them, and men of talent to conduct them.
we are happy to say that the idea Of establishing
government paper is not entertained by Colonel
Stevenson, but that the paper, when established,
will be perfectly independent. This is much bet
ter, as upon such plan it will exercise far
greater influence.
The press and type will, we understand, 20 ont
in the government transports, bu, to be entirely
independent when arrived there. Col. Stevenson
is still in the city, in fine spirit. for the expedition.

The New Tariff Bin - It's Final Passage
Doubtful.

The greatest anxiety exists in relation TO the
action OF the Senate upon this important measure.
II has been made the special order for Monday
next. and every day after until finally disposed Of.
No one ever doub ed It's passing the House OF
Representatives, but its passage through the
Senate is, and VIII be- up TO the last moment, very
doubtful. This whole question may turn upon
the vote of the Vice President, and, if so, its fate
is pretty well settled
The vote in the Senate will be so equally di-
vided upon this bin, and the complete absence Of
everything -avoring in any way of party feeling,
VII leave the question open 10 the latest moment,
leaving the closest political caculators com
Pletely in the dark, and beyond their reckoning.
Il Is impossible to count mp votes. Several of the
strongest democratic Senators have announced
their determination to vote dead against the bill
as It passed the lower house, and such is the
amslgamahon of the Two part es, that very ma
tenal alterations may be required 10 ensure its
success.
tbs possible, although not very probable, that the
ad valorem principle may he restricted in its ope-
ration, and that specific will, in some in
stances, be adopted II will be perceived, on RET
erenee 10 the proceedings of yesterday in the
Senate, that petitions have already been present
ed 10 hat effect We are fca full Of the result of
this thorough change in the method of levying
and collecting duties, and believe that much con-
fusion and difficulty will be experienced in enter
ing goods under the new system. II is very great
experiment. one that may lead to very serious
emoauassments in the finances OF the govern
ment, and require an immediate repeal or re-
sort TO some other way Of raising revenue. We
are opposed to such extensive experiments when
there are so many and such vital interests AT
stake. There is no probability Of any system be-
coming permanently established unes. it is grad
uslly brought into operation, and made erfect as
1t becomes more generally enforced.
No business of any particular importance was
transacted in the Senate yesterday and the House
used up nearly the whole in an unsuccess.
