THE TARIFF.

The Union has contradcted the rmor noticed
by the National Intelgcncer, to the effect that
Congress will adjourn Mt an early day, without de.
c'dng the Tariff question. On the other hand the
inteligencer rejoins, that the rumor came from the
LoceIoco side of the House, and advises the Union
to 90 to that quarter for information. The Wash
ington correspondent of the U. S. Gazette says:
81 find much difference of opinion as to the pros
pect Of the Tariff being disturbed. There are
those who would be glad to avoid vote upon the
subject who desire things to remain as they are,
but who will feel compelled by party considerations
to vote for new bill, if obliged to vote at ALL
There seems to be more disposition in the different
clques or factions in the Senate to unite than there
was. The difference on the subject of Oregon,
which threatened to be permanent will probably
soon be forgotten, and those who were temporarily
estranged will seek opportunities to unite, with the
view OF restoring former good feeling. The Wings
should never calculate on the permanent division
of their opponents; for those divisions are healed
with wonderful facility, by sort Of first intention
principle. The cohesive power of public plum
der which Mr. Calhoun truthiully and iorci-
bly, remarked, bound that party together has lost

MANUFACTURES AND WOOL.

The Burlington Sentinel and North Star cannot
possibly see how it is that protection to manulac
lures benefits the wool-growers. None are so blind
as those who 'front.' see. Protect manufactures and
you thus create purchasers for the raw material
and the more purchasers there arc the greater will
be the competition to obtain the raw material, and
the higher the price. Hence it has always been
true, that when the wooden manufacture has been
most brisk and profitable, wool has commanded the
highest price. But we advise the Sentinel to look
at the wool market since 1871 During this peri
cd, according 10 The Sentinel HSeE wool has not
been protected at al, while wooens have had the
advantage Of u 40 per cent duty. AT the same
time, the importation of foreign wool and the home
production have been largely increased. Never
thelcss it is fact, that wool has aduanced in price
Why this advance in wool, Mr.. Sentinel? Shed
thy light STAR and account3or these extruord-
nary facts. ne say that the demand for wool, Gre
ated by the protection TO manufactures, has tended
to increase the price. And if it be true, as you
assert that the duty on wool has produced no effect
at all then we tell you that there is 10 reason which
can possibly be assigned for this increased value of
wool, except it be this-an increased demand for it
by the manufacturers. What would wool bring, if
every factory should be to-day bloted out of exist
ence? How many goods would the merchant sell,
If he had no customers? How would the mechan
&c thrive if there were nobody to require his skill
We have endeavored to simplify these questions,
so as to approximate as near may be to the mcn-
tai calibro Of the Sentinel man.
1t must not be inferred from this, that wool re-
quires no stimulus, beyond what is produced by
protection to manufactures. Far from this: the
manufactures must be sustained, in order to pro-
duce an active and steady home ma&et for the wool
growers; then that market ought to be secured to
the American wocl-grower at a fair rate, by adc-
quate duties upon foreign wool. These are the
true doctrines, which do equal justice to both the
woo-growers and manufacturers, and place these
interests tremendously side by side to sustain each
other

The statute establishing fee bill, entitled an
act regulating fees" passed Oct. 1898, after pre-
sCribng the compensation for every service defined
| in that statute concludes with these words, viz
And for any duty or SERVICE done or performed
such sum as shall be in proportion to the fees spe-
officially provided by this or any other statute" A
similar provision has been retained in all the acts
upon the subject since. And yet this provision Of
the law has been little better than dead letter.
The service, perhaps, has been performed, and a
charge ten times greater than the rule established
by law, has been made, and allowed by an author
lied officer, and Immediately settled by an order
on the treasury. Revision and correction had now
become impossible. This allowance becomes first
a precedent then law, not only for that officer,
but for all others performing the same services
The written law becomes dead letter, while prec-
edents, originating in abuse and fraud become the
law Of the land. These abuses are not confined to
any one branch Of the public service, or to one
kind of service in particular Office. They are
evils which accumulate from year to year, and are
not OF small magnitude, but will effect a serious
amount Of the public funds, if suffered to continue.
True, it may be urged that the populations of
which 70 complain, are, when singly considered,
Of small amount. With the same truth it may be
urged that the taxes, raised Of individuals, are OF
small amount, as only ten cents on the dollar of the
grand list of the State sutces to meet the actual
necessary expenses Of government
Six tenths Of these expenses 90 to sustain our
Judiciary. But it may be urged, that these pecula-
tons are inseparabe from all human government
If the Legislature will, for such reason, disregard
them, in this day Of progress, but few years will
eapse before instead Of ten cents on the dollar,
twenty cents viii not suffice to meet the expenses

Indulgence will cmboden corruption, till the cor.

efforts at the command of anabuscd and coniding
people,
We have aedged in these numbers, and are
prepared to prove, that allowances have been made

than the fees established by law. Other cases

rain water, warm as the hand will bear, and let
it soak from twelve to fifteen hours-the vessel be-

tar and ground plaster drain from the water about
three quarts of corn, and put it into pot Or iron
kettle. Take about one gill of the tar and put it
into a small kettle, with about pint of WATER
Heat this until near boiling; pour 1t into the corn
in the first kettle, and stir it smary until the corn
is uniformly mixed with the tar, coating each
grain with kind of varnsh. Now pour off the
water remaining in the tarred corn, draining 1t as
completely as possible. Throw into the corn a pint
or more Of plaster, and stir it until the grains are
separated, and each resembles ball of plaster

The NASHVILLE TRAGEDY.-S Some weeks since

killed, and of subsequent repeated attempts by a
mob TO kill Judson. Since that, it seems that Jud-

count of the affair, in which he declares that Por.
terield was made to believe by third persons that
his P.'s) wife had submitted to improper attentions
from Judson: consequently, porterfeld attacked
Judson on two repeated occasions, but the latter
protested that both himself and the lady were false.

Porterfed and brother, both armed, had fred at
him three times and were manifestly determined to
take his life Judson then fired once, with fatal
effect. Judson was fired at twcnty-three times in
all, byPorterfeld and by the mob, without wound

feet upon a rocky bed without breaking bone
and was at last saved from being hung by friend
who cut the rope at the critical moment. lie savs
