Tariff. Revenues 30.
WAslIlSGroS. Nav ;

W ASiilNGTOS, May y.
There is no ground for hoping that
there will be amy modification Of the
Tariff by the present Congress. Iftllc
fact that the two Houses arc SO largely
democratic did not prevent the cxpcc-
tntion, there would be no such hope of
modification in the existence of that
other political fact, that this is the year
when candidates arc nominated for the
Presidency. Almost every body is
ready to admit that there ought t. be
certain changes in the Tariff. the
Iron interest, some kinds otCottcn and
wool manufactures are specified rs
meeting this change, and reasons are
given Us plcntitiilly as strawberries in
summer why all that is asked should
be done. Indeed, as Congress IS likely
to be constituted for some years yet,
should rather fear if the Tariff were
rc-opcncd, decrease Of duties than
their increase.
The estimates of the Secretary Of
ihc Treasury for this year will be fully
realized, notwithstanding the frequent
ly expressed expectation to the contra
ry. The duties from Customs will
reach forty nine millions of dollars be-
sides the receipts from the sale of Pub
lie ! ,,ands, which it is marvellous do
not decrease in the midst of SO many
Congressional Land bounty Acts and
special grants of the Public Domain,
the Revenues will amount to iifty-threc
millions this year, and the cxpcndi-
.tures cannot reach so large n sum-
Hence III a short time, therefore you
will hear Of demands TO reduce the
Tariff, and this ought to be borne in
mind by those seeking to reopen the
question for Congressional action. If
Congress should act wisely i. would
not make such a revision. rs .%oill IN
jurc the revenues Of the country and
at the same time benefit many kinds
of manufactures. Raw material cirtcr-.
ing into the Manufacture fhomc made
goods should be allowed to come into
the country free ofduty, and thus the
excesses OF revenue might be Topped
OIL, and hence labor protected.
The appropriations for this year will
probably not be as large as those in

REvoLur1os IN STEAM MAcu1aER,


REVOLUTION IN STEAM MAcuIsERY.
Tho Washington correspondent, of
the St. Louis Republican, thus speaks
OF Il new invention that has been be-
fore spoken Of in our columns '2ft'.
:" a new engine has been built at
New York, which threatens complete
revolution in this kind of machinery.
1t has been patented by Ericsson, the.
inventor of the Ericsson propellore-
The Engine has been built, and tried
and works wcll-and uses only ninety
pounds of coal per day. Boilers are
dispensed with altogelher---and you
can well imagine what a revolution it
will effect in the ocean steam marine
where the large vessels carry 9O0yto
1000 tons of coal for each voyage
There will be no danger Of explosions,
or anything Of that sort. The engine
now built is intended for, O large sea
steamer, in course of, construction at
New York, and the whole will cost
over a million dollars. Men of
capital would not be likely to invest
such sum Of money upon q doubtful
experiment, and you may receive this
information with reasonable assur-
ance OF its correctness. Tie engine
can be applied to our boats, and to
your printing machines, and to every
thing of the kind" r 3as7,

machine is already in existence, aud
that 1t has been patented with an in:
junction Of secrecy for certain time.
So cautious has he been to avoid in
fringement, that he had one part Of the
machinery, necessary to the compile

er in Philadelphia, and another in New
York. The separate parts thus con-
structed were, liz due time, collected in
Baltimore, and put together by the III

person has been permitted to enter.

interested i'll it. have had intro

with good common sense aud much
shrcwdness, though ofrnoacratc cduca-

Some three or four distinguished gen

ANOTHER CUBAN ExpEp1r1os.

with view of making the expedition
in every way successful. A letter to
