10 MODIFICATION OF THE TARIFF.

A bill for reducing, modifying, and equalizng the
tariff passed the House of Representatives The Sd
instant, by vote Of ia to 95 This is one Of the
most important bills which has been passed by that
body during it's present session. BY the passage Of
thIs BILL the House has, It's part, fully redeemed
all the pledges made by the democratic patty to the
people in the memorable contest Of 1874 The inc
Justly obnoxious to the great Of our laboring
people have been almost entirely obliterated by the
law that has Just received the approval OF the House
This tariff is exceedingly favorable to the great lead
ing interests Of Maine. Its benefits will reach all
classes Of our citizens while all the great staples Of
life under the provisions Of this act, will come TO the
hands of our people, relieved from the onerous bur
dens which the wing tariff Of 1912 imposed upon
them the Injuries Of the rich made to pay their
fair proportion of taxation for the support Of gov
erpusnt. Thus, the duties on IRON salt sugar, cot
ton and woolen cloths, &c, have been greatly re-
duced, and those deceptive schemes, minimum valu-
atoms and specific duties, abolished in nearly every
instance So, too on the other hand the great sta
pies Of produce Of this State are placed In the list of
the most favored articles--hre-wood, potatoes and
wool receiving protection Of thirty per cent ad va
loren. The fishing bounties are also retained, and
tea and coffee continued as free articles On the
whole, il is bill peculiarly favorable to the people
Of this State and te the great ofthe people
the farmers and aboring men of the whole country
The closest contest occurred in the House on the
subject Of the fishing bounties. In the Committee
Of the Whole these bounties were repealed, and in
lieu thereof salt made duty free. The House by a
very close vote, 100 to 100, refused TO acquiesce
with the Committee Of the Whole in striking ont
the fishing bountes thus saving enterprisDg apd
hardy fishermen from being driven from their honest
employment and preserving to the nation the just
advantages resulting from this best Of all schools for

Why Lieutenant (now Commsnder) Wilkes
should so entirely condemn the harbor, 10 a mys-

The Galveston News of July 7, says the steam
er Sam. M. Williams, captain Tichnor, returned
last evening from Robbins ferry on the Trinity,
where she took government stores to the amount of
1000 barrels in bulk and drawing five feet water.
The distance from the mouth Of the river to the
said ferry is 400 miles, and Captain Tichnor
just six days from the time he entered the river till
he left it, 1.-The water not being above its ordinary
stage. This fact proves more conclusively than
thousand speculatons, the practicability of navi-
eating the Trinity. Captain T. is well acquainted
with the river, and he says that for the last eight
years the Trinity, during six or eight months Of
each year, has had quite as much water as in his
late trip. For about hundred miles below Rob
binss Ferry the banks are walled with high and
perpendicular lodges Of rock, which makes the
navigation dangerous to an inexperienced pilot
but they can be removed at triAing expense.
Below the rocky region the boats are impeded by
|overhaDging trees, which may easily be removed.
The only important difficulty is the bar at the
mouth, which Capt. T. thinks may be deepened or
entirely removed by combining the channel Of the
river above TO force the water through one
outlet instead of passing, as at present, through
seven % The best Of the channels il that called
Turtle Pass, into which the whole water of the
river may be easily turned, as it is entirely above
all the other passes v@'ta :. '.- q.
This is a very important subject to the people of
Texas--and particularly to those of Galveston
the Trinity being the outlet to the sea from the
rich, well-timbered, and extensive region of north
ern Texas

to be becoming daily more Americanzed The

DEAR SIR: With joy and gadness undissembled we

The post Is both honorable and responsible; but,
knowing you do, we are assured that the du-
ties will be discharged with that hrmness and fidelity
which will do honor TO yourself your country, and
the community in which you have lived, who looked
with patriotic pride and solicitude on the gallant
band who left under your command. ,.f 49,. i
Our country was invaded, and an appeal was
made for aid. "The Young Guards" Immediately
answered the call. Your laudable anxietyto enter
the service OF your country, prompted to unprece-
denied activity in preparation. Not deferred by the
fact Of an unfnendly climate, you and your men
went forth to face danger and to undergo the trials
exposures, and vicissitudes Of war. You have left
your friends and your homes, with all their youth
ful associations; and these sacrifices you have ell
made cheerfully, and for your country.
When our difficulties shall have ended, and peace
restored-when your government and your country
shall no longer need your services and your aid
may each of you return to your homes and friends,
by whom you will be welcomed with Joy and re-
jocing. -.- =. .- .n.. ~. = ....... / o.

"The distance to which theibreakers extend from
the Shore and the strength of the tides the prn-
cipal difficulties which oppose the entrance TO the
Columbia river; and these difficulties increased at
present by the absence Of all artificial landmarks for
crossing the bar, and from the remoteness of the
natural ones To rely upon these latter, for discop-
ering and following the channel which has on either
side the somewhat uncertain boundary of breakers,
is rather perplexing to the stranger navigator TO en-
counter the rapd currents, the set and changing OF
which he is unacquainted with, will add to his per-
pexity, and his Judgment will be a little tried to
carry his vessel safely into the river e.. IF
"But with artificial landmarks, with lighthouses,
beacons, buoys, good pilots, and the aid of steam,
