FROM WASHINGTON.

The correspondent OF the Phla. Ledger,
writing from Washington Of the 9Th inst,
says What | said in my last letter about the
Tariff amendments, proposed by the present
administration, is true. The idea of the Tar
i'll of 1912 is given up as obsolete; but II is
believed that even Tariff for revenue might
afford incidental protection 10 industry
There is no disposition on the part OF the
Secretary of the Treasury 10 introduce radi-
cal change, nor will he insist that the various
articles subject TO duty shall all be taken up
together. II Pennsylvania, for instance, wants
an Increased duty on iron, and nothing else,
Mr., Corwn is perfectly willing to accede to
it, provided it can be carried through both
houses. This is both patriotic aud shrewd
movement. If Pennsylvania obtains no bonus
on iron, the fault will be with the democratic
House and Senate, and Mir Corwin will have
washed his hands. His object may be to
put the iron-ea,ers of Pennsylvania against
the fre-eaters of the South wish them

KOssUTH AND THE MIssIssIPPT.

The letter of the American Attache, which

Kossuih's conduct, while on board the Mis-

as an unworthy SANDER of the noble hunga-
rian The story he told is said not 10 pos
sess particle Of truth. The New York Til
bune, from inquiry made of the officers
learns that in the whole OF Kossuth's inter-
course with the officers and men of the Mis-
sssippi, he was modest, cordial, gentlemanIy,
obligag, and is esteemed by them all in the
highes degree not one word of dispute,
not one conflict of views, not one disrespect-
fu or nncou7leous act occurred while they
were together. The Mississippi was put in
the best possible order for the comfort of the
exles, aud they and the officers in most in
stances united in single mess, proof OF
between them. When Kossuth found that
he would not be allowed 10 go through
France, he concluded 10 go 10 Gibraltar, and
thence TO England. When he left the Mis-
sssippi he was honored with the attendance
of the whole ships company; he made a
short address and shook them all by the
hand and so great was the esteem in which
he was held, that scarcely one Of the hardy
seamen could refrain from tears. AS he
went oil in the boat toward The British pack

THE MILTON INTELLIGENCER

Our neighbor Case is getting no better
fast. We thought a change Of air in get
ting to Milton would do him good, but the
symptoms exhibited in his last paper indi-
cate no improvement. The names Of Cen
eral Cameron and the Snnbury American
haunt him like phantom. He can see
nothing but his beloved Buchanan and his
shadow, Judge Campbell, and imagnes
them in danger Of attack from every quar-
ter, and like a true Don Quixottp, he is de-
termined TO interpose himself and his rosi-
nante between them and danger. One of
Johns worst symptoms is, that he imagines
himself landlord, and calls bis Office the
"Miton Hotel" There is often s'method
in Madness" and as the heads Of folks are
often turned in our hotels, John may have
supposed the name not inappropriate to
his own sanctum, after the many gyrations
performed by himself.

BERES COUNTY AND THE TARIFF.

A convention Of the democracy of Berks
county is 10 be held at Reading on the 17,h
inst, for the purpose of adopting measures
to secure from Congress further protection
on Iron. The committee state that 80 per
cent is now much below the revenue STAN
dard, and proceed TO state that
A modification Of the tariff can now be ef-
iecled, either by adding to the per cen,age
on iron, until it comes up TO the revenue
standard, OF by fixing unchangeabIy the ad
rdlorcm Oh which this per centaee shall be
assessed. If this price be fixed high enough,
80 per cent. dd rGlOrem will answer. This
latter mode has many advantages; it would
prevent sudden fluctuations, and stop efiec.
lually fraudulent invoicings and the duties
would never run too high or too low.
Now this is nothing more or less than
the principle of specific duties on iron, for
which we have always contended. If we
assume iron to be worth $20 per ton, 80
per cent duty on that sum would be So
This would be a fixed and permanent duty
and as substantially specific as it would be
to say that Sc per ton should be levied on
all iron imported. We are glad to see the
democracy of BerkS taking right view ol
this matter in defiance of party trammels
Let the democrats take the tariff subject
in their own hands, where it properly be-
longs.
