The House Of Representatives disposed Of.
Mr.. Richardson's report in the Ewing case by
substituting Mr.. Vinton's amendment by vote
of 81 to "a, and then rejecting the, amendment
by vote of 90 to 80. This was followed by
8 movement 10 favor Of the Protective policy,
which was concoctcd some time since in s
caucus of those interested, and it was generally
understood that the bantling was generally
passenger of the Compromise Omnibus, and
the only one in which Pennsylvania felt any in.
terest. Mr.. Toombs led off by stating that
some weeks ago he was directed by the Com.
mittee of Ways and Means, to which had been
referred number of petitions for a modi6ca-
ton of the tariff, to report that in their sopinion
such modification was inexpedient Since that
time, said Mr.. Toombs, events have occurred
whc render any action in reference to the
report a question of inferior moment, butin ac-
cordance with the duty deyolved upon him, he
submitted it for the .actionlof the House. Mr..
Vinton moved to amend the resolution, by sub.
stituting resolution instructing the Committee
of WAYS and Means to report bill on Tues
day next so modifying the present Tariff that
duties should be based on the average market
value of similar articles in the principal ports
of the United States for the year ending June
| 80, 1916. This would increase the duties ge.
nerally, about 40 per cent and on iron from 80
to 100 per cent A motion was made to lay
the whole subject on the table, butit was neg
atived-ayes SO noes 81. The question was
then taken on Mr.. Vinton's substitute for Mr..
Toom's report, and it was negatived--ayes SO,
noes 96, although Mr.. looms. Mr. Stephens,
Mr.. Hilliard, and nearly all the Southern wings
voted for it, while Mr.. Aston of Alabama, and
Mr. Outlaw of N. Carolina lodged the vote.
Mr.. Burt, of our State was absent Oh &C.
count of severe mdisposition. Messrs Vena.
BILE and Daniel of North Carolina and Kaufman
ofTexas and Owen of Georgia, stated that they
had paired off with friends Of the proposition.
The question was then taken On adopting the
report of Mr.. Toombs, and it was rejected
ayes 81, noes 90, Messrs. Toonibs and Ste
phens among them. The next movement was
one by Mr.. Brooks TO reconsider the last vote
with view, if successful, to offer an amend
ment to appoint Select Committee to sit du.
ring the recess, and collect information for the
purpose of framing new tariff bill MIR
Thompson of Missississppi, moved to lay the
motion to re- consider on the table, which was
carried--ayes SO, noes 81, and thus the sub
lect was disposed of for the present.
Great was the disappointmnnt at the result
as confident anticipations were entertained o.
the success of the movement As it was, its
defeat was occasioned BY the absence Of al
unusual number of Northern Wings, who an
4 censured without stint by their more attentive
brethren. The attempt will be repeated il
some other shape, in day or two, aud if ne
cessary, every day until :he close Of the ses
sion, and you must hot be surprised il it shoulc
prove successful, and the Tariff of 1912 bsre
enacted. The South has submitted to tht
kicking and cutting of her Northern brethreI
with so much resignation, that they are en-
couraged to try if she will not stand a iittl,
pluudering, and there are representative enough
from the Southern States who will aid them il
accomplishing their designs.
