HE LATE TRAG EDIEs.-1'hree men are now in
prson--one in Virginia and two in Missouri-to be
tried for homicide committed under peculiar and
most painful circumstances. They are all husbands
their honor assaiied-their domestic happ-
ness destroyed, and they sought and obtained sum
mary and violent redress. That such cases have
become very common Of late is lamentable fact,
and not the less because the evil lies beyond the
reach Of ordinary legislation Laws may to some
extent regulate the conduct of men, but they cannot
snbdue the passions infise correct sentiments in
to the mind. We must look to parental instructions
and early Trading, and when these are neglected,
every restraint fails and the slate of society becomes
truly deplorable. The newspapers are full of the
details of all Of these cases and while some good
may result from the warning afforded others to
avoid the first step from the path of virtue, much

THE TARIFF.

The Washington Republic copies an article from
the Boston Courier, in which the evils of the pres
ent ad Udlorem system of duties are strikiGGly ex-
hiblted Under this system the grossest frauds are
practsed on the government. The duty on goods
being according To their invoced value, direct in
ducement is held out TO importers, TO enter them at
less than their real worth and much less than they
actually sold for. Thus broadcluths it is said
are entered at sixty eight to seventy five per
yard, and pay duty accordingly The fraud is
palpable, and in this way the revenue has lost mil
lions of dollars. These frauds are perpotrated by
foreigners and not by our own merchants. The
rule now is FOR American importers to purchase
goods from the foreign manufacturers. deliverable
in the United States, instead of taking possession
Of them in Europe, by which they save flom ten
to fifteen per cent. hi 1914, under the operation
fspecJfc duties the proportion of importations at
New York by foreigners was forty four, now it is
serenty eight per cent.
A single instance will show the effect of the pres
ent tariff upon manufactures. In 1876, rail road
iron was in England $50 per ton, and the duty was
$lS per ton. AT present, it is $25 per ton, and
the duty is Of course, reduced in proportion. This
system Of Gd Galoreni duties, says the Courier
'gives; therefore, 10 the foreigner the double adj
vantage Of fall in the price and fall in the duty
and when the home producer wants the largest pro-
lection against low prices abroad, the tariff gives
him the smallest when under high prices abroad
he requires protection, then the tariff gives him
heavy one. BY the operation of this absurd and
ruinous system the manufacture Of railroad iron in
the United States is utterly Frustrated, and one
million of dollars; invested in tie mills E Pennsyl-
vania alone, is total loss. The furnaces manu-
featuring pig iron are in equally PROSTATE condi-
tiun, and thousands Of tons Of Scotch pig metal are
imported for the purpose Of being manufactured into
bar iron, whilst nnr town furnaces daily going
out Of blast All these losses encounter under
the fathery protection OF the Walker tariff, for the
benefit of English manufacturers and imporlers-
The mportations of railroad iron from England have
amounted Ia $50 OOU tons within the last years
The money which we lose in this manner is taken
out of the pockets of the farmers as well manu-
iacGrers, for il is easy 10 that the importation of
600 tons of railroad iron is the same as the i'm
poriaon of an equal amount Of wheat and rye or
beef and pork The laborers who produced that
iron CONSUMED foreign bread and meat instead of
American; as would have been the case had this
iron been manufactured in The United States
What is true of the iron trade is equally true of
The woolieH manufactures, they have been almost
totally ruined by the existing tariff Out OF 8, 1000
looms employed in Massachusetts alone in the man
ulac;ure of broad cloths before Is 6 there are now
less than 800 in operation. The same safe Of things
exist in other States"

HUNGARY.

THERE is great reason to believe that The fate of
this interesting country is sealed, at least for the
present. Austrian and Russian power combined
has proved too strong for her comparatively small
population and slender resources. The pubic mind
has been preparing for time for the sad intel
ligence which we publish today. The conduct Of
France towards the Romans gave the painful fore
bodinSs, that while Republican in name, the SYM
pahes of Republic were not TO be extended even
to a people ripe for liberty. Hungary was an en-
lshtened county-her school facilities ranke, next
to Prussia upon the continent-her people were in
dustrons and hardy, and the institutions of religion
carefully observed by them. 1t is a mysterious
providence, that such people animated by the free
den down and crushed by two powers, of all others
the most opposed TO the light of that Book because
afraid ofits civilizng influence upon their subjects
afraid that lis mighty agencies in regenera.ing
their hearts and pointing them to the allegiance of
Heaven, might regonerate aso,heir systems of gov
erment by creating doubts of the pretended vicege-
rency and Legitimacy of despotic rulers. Another

stitutional power, but can never hearafter
exercise it. The new dogma of no power
in Congress to legislate on the SUBJECT has
killed all compromise. Those who deny the
power cannot vote for it: it would be
breach of their oath. Those who want no
slavery in the new Territories, will not
vote for compromise; and thus extremes
rneet--conlbihe against the middle--and de-
feat all compromise. The resolutions of
Mr. Calhoun have done all this, and to talk
about compromise now, is oPropose to call
Methusalem from his tomb. Ihe effect,
if not the design ofhis new dogma, was to
kill compromise--a dead it is. The con-
stitut;on will not permit him and bis fol-
lowers to vote for any compromise line.-
Opposition to the extension OF slavery will
not permit northern men to do it; and thus
there is no chance for any line. Principle
cannot be compromised. The Missouri
Compromise was not of a principle, but OF
interests after the principle was establish
ed. The first question put by Mr.. Monroe
TO his Cabinet, was, as to the constitutional
power of Congress over the subject. Thai
being established in the affirmative. the ap'
plication of principle was matter OF detail
