rhe Tariff.

Some doubt has been experienced whether
any alteration Of the Tariff will be adopted at
the present session Of Congress. Mr.. George
s. Houston, of Alabama, who is Chairman of
the Committee of Ways and Means, and pos
sessed of more than ordinary abili les, has De
voted much time and labor to this subject, and
has prepared proposition, which wtl gees
far as any single measure can, to conciliate
the various sectional interests, and provide for
suitable revenue, without doing special in
Justice to any section of the country. The
'ssis of the change pr posed, is a reduction
of 20 per cent from the rates established by
the Tariff of 1916. This would change the
schedules to so, 32, 24, 20, IS, II, 8, and
per cent. instead Of 100, 40, 30 20, 20, 10, TO-
and as now established. A few important
transfers are made in the classification which
of course will prove exceptions to this uni
form reduction. Silks which now pay %,
will be ncuded in the "a per cent list; linens
and blankets will pay 20 as at present. Wool
manufactured, will be classed either in the
or per cent schedule, instead of 80 as at
present Raw silk, unmanufactured fax, un-
manufactured grasses, most manufacturers
dve stuff, &c, will be classed in the percent.
while the remaining dye stuffs, codilla, or tow
of hemp and fax, and some other raw ma
teriaIs. will be added to the free list
We should prefer to have Wool in the free
list, for the benefit of both the wool l-grower
aud the manufacturer, and think very likely
that such an amendment will be proposed
while the bill is under consideration. Such a
change would be Immediately popular
throughout the South and West, as it would
give increased demand for wool, while it
would enable our manufacturers to furnish
the low grades of wooden or semi wOolen
goods, used extensively in those sections, at
lower rates and of a much better quality than
at present There is but little time left of
this session Of Congress, but there need be no
windy speeches made upon this subject for
political effect. The details of the proposed
change are easily understood, and there Is far
more danger of the defeat of the Bill from
indifference. than from any earnest opposition.
We understand that Mr.. Houston will make
an effort to present his bill to-day, and trust
that he will be able to gain the attention OF
the House for It's consideration.-M T. Jour

Justice TO the Dead.

The Hon. Mr.. Bayard vindicated the char
acter of his father IRON the charge of having
offered General Smith, of Maryland, an office
the price of supporting Aaron Burr for the
Presidency. The untarnished reputation OF
both of these distinguished men, had long
since lived down, refuted, and disproved any
such imputation, and Mr.. Bayard has cited
evidence which will accompany the incredible
charge to posterity. Few eminent men of the
past escaped similar rbloquy. Washington,
Hamilton, Jefferson and Jackson, were all the
subjects of personal calumny, yet the defama-
ton which tamshed for moment, las long
since disappeared, and time has, too, merci-
fully handed over the slanderers TO oblivion.
Mr. Clay suffered greatly from a similar in
justice, nor was he acquitted by the whole
American people, uutl the malice of party
had been appeased, and the consistent parrot.
ism and the magnanimous self-denial of his
life had rendered all such imputations impos-
sibe of belief But against what charges arc
