0-The Senate on Thursday last adopted q
resolution calling upon the Secretary of the
Treasury for information relative to Palpa-
BILE violation of the existing Sub-Treasury law
This violation of law was committed by depos-
iting the public monies in the Philadelphia
Bank for the payment of the interest upon the
public debt due in that city; and by paying
such interest in bank notes instead of specie.
. This however is but one out of hundreds Of
instances in which the ridiculous law has been
violated. If the Senate undertake to investi-
gale all the violations, that body will have q
big job on hand. But let the law, contempt
BILE and almost impracticable as it is, be eth
er enforced or repealed.

neFoRE AND AFTER THE ELECTION.

BEFORE AND AFTER THE ELECTION.
During the Presidential canvass, The Wings
shrank from every Thing like "pa'orms" CT de-
claraions OF principles. Then they protested to
be all no-parly men, and their sole object, they
said. was TO elect an honest, unpledged patriot,
who would not look 10 the principles OF any par
ty for his rule Of action, but would be guided by
the Constitution alone. Such declarations dupcd
sufficient number OF Democrats 10 ensure the
election OF General Taylor That end accom-
plished, how do the Wings carry out their woidsl
General Taylor has recently visited New Or.
leans, and his Wing organ. the Bulletin, ex-
presses hope that the Democratic majority in
The United States Senate will moi endeayor 10
embarrass General Taylor's administration by
a iaclious opposition 10 his measures" Before
the election, he had no measures; now, II seems,
he has measures, TO which the Senate, compo-
nenl part Of Congress, must yield implicit obedl'
encel But The same Bulletin, referring to The
present session, says:
"The question of modification OF The TarItt
of 1916, will also, no doubt, be brought forward,
and though some immateral changes may be ell
iecled, nothing hat will cure the radical detects
of mis- ruinous law can be hoped or expected,
whilst King Veto stands ready TO defeat the wish
es of The people Whatever may take place ON
the subject at the present session. can only oe al
affair of oalposts, preparatory TO The great baule
at the following session, when the voice oil The
people will be heard and obeyed."
The proceedings in the House on Monday
show that the Wings have actually commenced
the skirmish, and have for the present carried
an "outpost." On motion of MIR. Eckert oil
Pennsylvania, the following Test resolution was
adopted:
"Reso.yed. That the committee Of Ways ana
Means be instructed 10 inquire into the exPe-
diency of reporting Tariff bill, based on The
principles of the Tariff of 1922
Under the operation of the previous question:
the resolution was adop,ed-96 TO 49, Nearly
ali in the affirmative are Whigs-and among
Them Messrs. Pendleton and Preston u ''r
pinia. In the negative are Messrs Atkinson
Bayly, Beale, Bedinger, Bocock, Brown Meade
Thompson, and Messrs. Flournoy, Fulton anc
Goggiu, (Wbigs) from Virginia; we also SCI
the name of MIR. /. E Holmes, a Taylor Demo
crat from South Carolina, in the negative
mes.rs. Mcdowell and Bolts did not vote. I'M
vote furnishes an occasion for amusing sPecu'a
,;on which we will not now enter into. ON
hing is evident, that the large body OF tn
wings are ready and anxious for the most u'r'
measures and that the Taylor Democrats, and
small portion of the Wings, are opposed 10 rasl
measures, standing as they do on ticklish ground
Which division of the party will prevail, tim
