cells from old Spain coming 10 the United
States for cargo.
This construction of the Law seriously injured
our commerce. II presssd, it might have forced
all Spanish vessels carrying cotton from the
Southern ports. TO bring outward cargoes for
our Northern ports, thence, in ballast, to come
South for their return cargo. We furnish them
cotton, etc. for their return cargo, but cur de-
mand for their products III not sufficient to war
rant all Spanish vessels coming for our produce,
to bring full cargoes to us. They must, there
fore, often come to us in ballast, all the way
from old Spain, or else they must load at home
for the North, or for the ports Of their own col
onies. If the latter subject them TO high duty,
then they must often load for the North, and
thus our trade 10 to be unnecessarily impeded.
This matter was brought to the notice Of u
former Secretary OF the Treasury, and he, con.
STRUNG tha law accordil to it's spirit rather
than its letter, issued an order directing that
vessels coming from old Spain via Cuba, Iesv-
ing the latter place 10 ballast should pay tonn-
age as vessels couing direct from old Spain.
Thus the great injury Of the act to Southern
commerce was averted But now this order
has been recalled, and the present secretary has
issued another, whereby he directs such vessels
to be charged the high tonnage duties. Mr.
Butler has brought the matter to the notice OF
the Senate, and it has been referred to the Com.
mittee on Commerce. This was done several
weeks ago, but no action has yet been reported
by the committee. 1t is probable that they may
allow it to sleep for session or two or they may
report against any repeal or modification Of the
law. We cannot tell what may be done, but
we may safely predict that there will be no un-
reasonable haste to remedy msttsr which in
jures only Southern commerce.

The Country In danger.

Yesterday we learned much to our alarm that
the House of Representatives, instead of ad.
journing at the usual time took recess, and re-
sumed and continued its session to late hour.
Whilst the House was addicted to short sittings
and political speeches We confess we had hopes
of the country, Notwithstanding the passage Of
the Compromise measures, and their hypocrti-
cal endorsement by both Conventions. But
since the House has become active and pro.
tracted in its sessions, we are alarmed. We can
see no safety for the treasury or the public
lands. We hope this fit of the House will not
last A do-nothing House is very tolerable
nuisance. 1t coats nothing but per diem, mile
age, stationary, stealings, &c. But a do every

too careful of themselves. 1t is very evident that
all men cannot carry umbrellas, and perhaps there
may be some value in suggestion which has

DEATH on HsNRY chA'

OF that BODY. COmlng~lntO the Senate OF this
United States for the first time in 1906 he en-
tered upon parliamentary career the most bril-
liant and successful in our annals. From that
time he remained habitua!ly in the public eye
as a Senator, as a member of this House and
its Speaker, as a representative of this country
abroad, and as high officer in the Executive
Department of the government, he was imme
diately connected for fifty years with every
great measure of American policy. OF the
mere party measures Of this period / do moi
propose to speak: Many Of them have passed
away, and are remembered only as the occasion
for the great intellectual efforts which marked
their discussion. Concerning others, opinions
are still divided. They will 60 into history
with the reasons on either side rendered by the
greatest in.ellects Of the time.
As leader in deberative body, Mr.. Clay
had no equal in America In him, intellect, per.
son, eloquence, and courage united to form a
character fit to command: He fred with his
own enthusiasm, and controlled by his amazing
will, individuals and masses. No reverse could
crush his spirit, nor defeat reduce him to despair
Equally erect and dauntless in prosperity and
adversely, when successful, he moved to the &C
compsbment Of his purposes with severe reso-
luton /; when defeated, he rallied bis broken
along their ranks the contagion of his own
courage. Destined for lender, he everywhere
asserted his destiny. In his long and eventful
life he came in contact with men of all rank.
and professions, but he never felt that he was in
the presence of man nperor to himself In
the assemblies of the people, at the bar, in the
Senate, everywhere within the circle of his per-
sonal presence, he assumed and maintained a
position of pre-. eminence ...
But the supremacy of Mr.. Clay as party
leader was not his only nor his highest title ia
renown. That title is to be found in the purely
patriotic spirit which, on great occasions, always
signalized his conduct We have had no states
man who in periods of real and imminent public
peril has exhibited more genuine and enlarged
patriotism than Henry Clay. Whenever a ques
ton presented itself, actually threatening the
existence of the Union, Mr.. Clay, rising above
the passions of the hour, always exerted his
powers to solve II peacefully and honoraby
Although more liable than most men, from his
impetuous and ardent nature 10 feel strongly

faculty to be able to snbdue them in great
crisis, and to hold towards all sections Of the
