Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.

Correspondence Of the Charleston Courier.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.
The French spoliation bill has
passed the Senate after an able de-
bate. A motion to exclude claims
which are held by assignees and In
surance companies and private un-
derwrlters was lost bWsa majority of
five votes. A large portion of the
claims are held by assignees and in
surers, and, if they were not provided
tlor,there would be no strenuous eff
fort to pass the bill. The Insurance
companies will be greatly benefited,
Tor they had originally very large
premiums ON THEN policies. The
passage of the bill through the House
will be rendered less difficult by the
fact, that the necessity for commit
ting il in that body, has been obvi-
ated by striking out the appropriation
OF fifty thousand dollars for CARRYING
the act into effect. That item can
be easily placed in some other bill.
There is no end to the land bills,
nor TO their success, Two OF them
together went through the Senate
Yesterday, and another, the other ciay
through the House, squandering the
acres and the miles square, IS if they
were forest leaves. Gone, forever,
from the national Government is the
pubic domain. All this was fore
seen and predicted by Mr.. Calhoun,
when he brought forward his land
project some years ago.
There is no scheme so extravagant,
none so profligate, that the Tariff
men will not support it; and these
together with the new State interest
command the votes in Congress.
There is much excitement here
now on the subject of the Tariff
GREAT efforts are made 10 get up
project, and il is found no easy mat
Ter, owing totbe jealousies and the
conflicts Of interest among those who
seek protection from high duties.-
The Pennsylvanians are likely to
carry the day. The iron interest
will be promoted, but the New Eng
land men complain thai The cotton
manufacture is to he sacrificed.
t,he oeraaraittee,of Ways and Means
have agreed upon the main features
of bill which will be very popular
in Pennsylvania, for ii will add at
least fifty per cent to the price of
iron. The billwill adhere to forcing
valuation and specific duties but il
will add ten per cent 10 the duties OF
IRON. wooIlen, hemp, copper, &c.
The cotton manufacturers ask for
the present rate of duty assessed on
the prices of 1876. and with Two an
praisers.at large. But they say they
cannot get even that, though it was,
as they contend, what the present
Tariff bill intended TO give them
My owntopinion is that every project
will fail at this session.
Mr. Benton's defeat is much talk
ed OF, and not generally deplored,-
Had he been reelected, he would, as
it is commonly said, have been more
arrogant than ever.
