Modification of the Tariff.

1t is said that the Committee of Ways
and Means in the House have, after much
difficulty, agreed to report bill for the
modification ofthe tariff upon the basis sug-
gested by secretary GUTHRIE. The bill
contains FIVE schedules of rates. We copy
an abstract thereof from the Washington
correspondence of the New York Herald
The first schedule, the old one hundred
per cent. duty on brandies, liquors. &c, re-
mains unchanged, We now receive three
millions duties annually from this source.
The second schedule rates the duty at
twenty per cent. This includes all the ar
ticles which, in the present tariff, vary from
twenty-five to one hundred per cent. 1t
also includes iron, sugar, manufactured silk
and hemp.
The third schedule is fifteen per cent. the
fourth ten per cent, and the fifth five per
cent, and embraces nearly all the articles
in the existing tariff, but reducing to fifteen
per cent. articles which now pay twenty ::
to ten per cent. articles which now pay ff
teen, &c.
The twenty per cent schedule includes
raw silk and some descriptions of medicines
and dyestuffs. We now receive over seven
millions dollars duties upon manufactured
and unmanufactured silk.
The lists are very full. and fifteen per
cent. is placed upon all unenumerated ar
,ticles.
Salt, which under the present tariff as an
enumerated article. pays twenty per cent,
is to be admitted free of duty.
The free list takes in all the articles now
admitted free as well as many articles now
in the lower list Of duties 1t also includes
certain dyestuffs and medicines 1t is not,
however as extra as Mr.. Guthrie's PROPOSE,
ton
With regard to bounties the committee
have determined to remain silent This
does not look very favorable to the Iecip-
rocity treaty, which looks to their abolish
ment
1t is estimated that this tariff viii. yield
revenue of about forty-fve millions.

We copied, yesterday, an article from
the New York Evening Post, showing the
desperation and iniquity to which DoueLAs,
RICHARDSON, OLDs, "et id omne dough.
faces" resored,to in the passage of their bill
Of abominalions BY that article II was
shown that, after the first election in those
territories, no man can vote unless he has
taken the oath Of allegiance. The oath, il
IS well known, can not be taken until the
person has resided in this country five
years, and had declared his intention Of be-
coming citizen at least two years previous
to taking such oath of allegiance. This
rule can not be varied even by the Terri
torial Legislatures. Now add to this the
fact that every voter must swear to support
the Nebraska bill, and we have a combina
ton of meanness and rasca'ity which enti.
ties the supporters of the bill to the high
est seat in a Penitcntiary. This is the
right to manage their own affairs, SO boast
fully given to the people of these terrific
ries But it seems that, added to all this,
foreigners are by this law actually excluded
from those territories under thousand dol
lars penalty, unless bearing a passport from
the War Department
The Washington Dispatch to the Times,
on Tuesday, says
Much excitement has been occasioned
by the discovery of an outrageous fraud in
the Nebraska and Kansas Act 1t seems
that Benton, Campbell, of Ohio, Mace, of
Indiana, and others have been engaged
in overhauing the Act which was rushed
through without having been submitted TO
examination, discussion and amendment in
detail, according 10 the positive rules Of the
House.
1t will be remembered that when the
trick of Stephen and the outrageous decis-
ion Of Olds brought the bill before the
House, Richardson moved a substitute, al
leging that it was the same as the Senate
bill without the Clayton amendment
With this understanding it was pushed
through under the Previous Question. 1t
now turns out that Richardson had inserted
clause more offensive than the Clayton
amendment, to wit: That no person other
than citizen of the United States should
hold Office or vote until they had sworn to
support the extension of slavery, by taking
an oath to support tie principles of the bill
Again, it is provided that all laws of
Congress locally applicable shall continue
in force. The Act of June so, 1884. (still
in force,) excludes from said territories all
foreigners who do not procure from the
War Department passport, under pen
atty of 81, 900, and the passport when OBJ,
tanned, is to limit the time that the foreign.
er shall be permitted to remain therein, ,and
the route he shall travel
So that the popular sovereignty of this
bill, after all, excludes all foreigners who
do not get passport, and requires all who
do, to submit to the outrage of being sworn
to support the principle Of introducing
slavery.
Read tue the history of the wrongs of the
freemen of the North, and tell us W hat dun
geon is dark enough for such man as
RICHARDSON. OLDs should seal his spec
tacles with leather, that his eyes may new.
er be shocked by looking at the dazzling
brightness of an honest man. Clere. Her.

A thing worth Looking at.

We clip the following item from the
money article Of the n. Y. Tribune for 3lst
May:
"About two millions Of dollars Of Bonds
and Mortgages held by the Ohio Life and
Trust Company upon property in Ohio, fall
due tomorrow, the required years notice
having been given last June. These Mort
cages have been running many years, and
are called in now in order to remove the
capital Of the Company from the State, the
presen. oppressive Tax Law rendering it
impossible to sustain Banking establish.
ment in that State without loss. The tax
upon this Company amounts in round nun
bers to Three Hundred Thousand Dollars
per snnum. If enforced We do not see that
any Bank can be carried On in Ohio under
the law"
There is in this little paragraph materi-
al for long sermon; but we iorbear. The
declared fact speaks plainly enough for the
dullest conception. He we have the an
nouncement that two millions Of dollars is
to be Withdrawn from the State. TO re-
place this money loaned to our farmers and
manufacturers and businss msn. at least
ten per cent Interest will have to be paid
10 the present condition of affairs. But the
demand must be met or the securities become
forfeit And lhisis the work fthe quacks
who, without understanding the FIRST prin-
ciple Of public economy, are entrusted By
the people with the dictalion of the reve-
nue. policy ofthe great State Of Ohio This
money was not wanted by the Life and
Trust Company; ii was considered per-
manen. investment, and might have re-
manned among Us stimulating industry and
adding wealth to the State. The financial
bodies who have managed our affairs for
the last five years have succeeded as their
measure Of glory, in raising interest from
six and seven per cent to ten per cent I;
bave burdened our citizens with unequal
and unjust taxation; have driven capital
from our State. and are fast subjecting the
productive industry of our people to the
tender mercies of the broker and money

The smnlINote Law.

On the first day of October next, The
law passed by the united wisdom of the
late so.called democratic Legislature will
60 into effect We do not think the provi-
sions of this law will be carried out to any
great extent, neither do we see how il can
be. There is but little of the paperin circu-
lation at this time, that is of our own State,
and that little the banks are trying to call
in, that they may take their capital TO some
state, where they will not be so burthened
with runous taxes. The democratic press
throughout the State are getting alarmed
because the popular mind is restive under
the financial rule of the Slave Democracy.
The State Journal says:
"The taxes are heavy beyond precedent;
and to add to the burden the small note
law Of last winter is soon to go into opera
ton. By this law, the people may not use
foreign bank notes of less denomination
than ten dollars in the payment of taxes
they are forbid paying even their honest
debts with them. or liqudatng any demand
that may come against them. But they
may sell them to the Brokers! and then
pay the broker premium for which to pay
their taxes"
