In relation to the Oregon question, the news from
England is of highly interesting and important
character The remarks of Sir Robert Peel and
Lord John Russell, confirm the accounts we receiv-

Aberdeen that Mr. Pakenham refused the offer Of

faith in negotiation than in arbitration, although he

ERRORS EXCEPTED.

We gave place to communication in last even

who communicated it to US; but it contains some
rors which deserve to be corrected. "A Democrat
makes the following statement regards Mr.. Walk
ers tariff bill, prepared at the request of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means in February last:
"For the benefit Of the sa-mskers and iron mas
tiers, Mr. Walker taxes the only two articles Of abb
solute necessity high"
This is a mistake. In Mr.. Walkers bill SALT
was proposed to be made duty Free and in his annu-
al report of December last, Mr.. Walker says:
ain one Of his annual messages, Mr.. Jefferson
recommended to Congress the suppression of the
duties upon salt A large portion of this duty is
exhausted in heavy expenses Of measuring salt, and
in large sums paid for fishing bountes and allow
ances in lieu Of the drawback Of the duty, both
which expenditures would fall with repeal Of the
duty--whch repeal therefore, can cause no consid-
cradle reduction Of the revenue. Salt is necessa-

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, JUNE "a, 1876.
CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate, this morning, letter was read
from Gen. Gaines, communicated by the War De,
partment, which will be found in our columns this
evening. A debate arose on bill reported from
the Military Committee, by Mr.. Benton, of which
a report, condensed to suit our'columns, will be
found under the appropriate head. After some
other unimportant business the Senate went
into executive session, where they remained for
some time; after which they adjourned.
The House, by strong vote, adopted resolu-
Iion to terminate the debate on the revenue bill on
Thursday of next week, July the second. The day
was spent in debate on that bill.
