A Democratic appointment.

Pierce has recently made an appointment
which out-does any yet made even by his
weak and time serving administration. It APP
pears that J. Y. McDuffie, professional gam
bier, has been appointed to the Office Of Uni
ted States Marshal, for the Northern District
of California. This post was made vacant by
the murder of General Richardson by Charles
Cora, gambler and an habituai frequenter Of
MeDuffie's saloon. His sister Belle Cora, a
noted female gambler and courtezan, thrust
herself into the same box at the theatre with
Mrs. II chardson, and it was from this that the
quarrel arose. Another sister of COra's 10
the mistress of McDuffie, and be had done
everything in his power to effect Cora s release
Under all the circumstances his appointment
10 the office of the deceased Richardson is q
very remarkable coincidence, and wear a
strange, if not suspicious aspect.
Without taking into consideration his con-
nection with the murder the very occupation
aud standing of McDutiie should have been
sufficient to prevent his holding an important
office under any honorable government. Nor
can ignorance ofthis mans character be brought
forward as an excuse for Mr. Pierce; for it is
said that when many persons demonstrated
against this appointment, Mr.. Pierce replied
that he bad promised TO give him the office
and would do it.-NatiOnaL american

THE TARIFF-The new tariff bill, reported from
the Senate Committee by Gen. James, of Rhode
Island, is justly exciting very general attention on
the part of the commercial and manufacturing in
terests of the country. From the attention
have been able 20 give 1t, without the opportunity,
however, OF infinitely comparing it's schedules with
those of the present system, are disposed to
think the country will accept it as a timely and
wholesome modification Of the existing law Al
thought coniessedly drawn up in the interests Of
free trade, and thoroughly reaifrmng the ad Ualo-
rem principle the new bill wisely aud fully accords
the degree Of protection recommended 10y Secre-
tary ruhrie in his reports Ia degree that has cost
the stITdy Secretary the good will Of of
visionary free-tradsts and provides great variety
of safeguards for the prevention OF the frauds
which seems naturally to flow from the ad rGio-
rem principle Ii also greatly smplihcs the tariff
of 1916 by reducing the number of schedules of
duties, and otherwise improving the classification.
One of lie most conspicuous features is the exemp-
ton of wool from duty-a reform and loudly deman-
ded by all parties concerned. In fine, the great
practical advantage anticipated from the passage
of the bill by its author (himself extensive
manufacturers) % the relief "of manufacturers, me-
chanics and artisans from the taxes on the
materials necessary for their business, which, not
being produced in this country TO any considerable
extent, and some OF them not at all, they com
PEELED to import from abroad" Aud as this relief
will spring directly from protective features OF the
bill, no good reason why both the bill and
its motive should not prove satistactory.tO pro,ec
tionists if il s satisfactory the free tradsts As
the best shat be had, we have no doubt that
is will II the bill does not become law, it's fail.

/" Foreign Contingent" is afraid to meet the

delay the discussion of the great principles
which the mass Of the American people desire
to have discussed and enforced.
Another fact is proven by this policy to wit
That the ensuing canvass is to be conducted
in the usual manner which this administration
has adopted. The minority in the House Of
Representatives fully aware of their inability
to controYert the arguments on the American
question, are determined to resort to parlia-
mentary expedients to suppress the considera-
ton of any question involved in the American
Reformation. This course Of policy is not only
cowardly, but contrary to all the usages of par
ty, and disgraceful to the representatives of a
free people. The gentleman (Mr. jones' sat
