NAsiifNGT0H, January ! ), 1857.
One Of the most important and univcr
sally interesting bills Of the session in the
one regarding foreign coinage and the coin
age OF cents. 1t has been long source
Of great complaint that the timc-worn
smoo;hf;ncd coin OF other countries should
be permitted to circulate through our coun-
trv-cheating and swindl;ng all who touch
them. The day Of redemption is near at
hand-and | hesitate not TO predict tho
carly passage Of the bill alluded to.
The Tariff bill is now the subject Of dis
cuss>ion in the House, and much feeling
is manifested McSsrs. CambcIl, Of Ohio, and
Lctcher, Of Virginia, being the prinipal
speakers. Mr.. Boyce will take occasion
to urge his amendment, the purport ofwhich
gave yon III 4 previous letter. During
the discussion Yesterday severe attack was
made on the present Secretary Of the Trcau-
ury, Mr.. Guthrie, by Mr.. Lctchcr, who de-
nouncrd his financial policy aud said it was
the same as that urged BY Mr.. Campbell,
only christcncd 10y another name.
The Committee Of Investigation had a scs-
sion yesterday morning, dnrng which Mr..
Raymond, editor of the New York Times,
was examined as to his knowledge Of the cor
ruption, but understand it all amounted
to nothing lie suspected great deal, but
knew less than nothing. The only point
which is now looked to with interest here
is the question Of vcracity between Messrs.
Payne and Edwards. In such contest it is
easy 10 guess at the result.
MIR. Pierce, | understand, will leave
Washington soon after the inauguration OF
Mr.. buchanan and proceed Southwark.
After few days sojonrn at Charleston, he
will visit Havana, and return home by the
way Of New Orleans.
The Cabinet spcculaions have, in a meas
'lre, ceased, since the letter received here
from Mr.. Bachanan, in which he says "If
my mind has been fixed upon my in.livd-
aal for place in my Cabinet, neither that
individual nor any other living person knows
IT," He adds, "lct the newspapers contu-
tie making Cabinets, it can do no harm.
will be in Washington and will freely con-
verse with all who desire it-atlcr which I
will soon fix my Cabinct.'

literally sacks ono potion Of the Union to

Mr.. Eovsc;, bill has two aspects: 1tpro-
vldrs for reducing cx;rava-an, and orprcs-
.ivc duties toa moderate standard, and for
lev!ing reasonable tax upon ten and cof

coal, his sugar, anl his salt, all equally ne

We have no hope that Mr. Eovcc's bill
will pass at the present session. The whole
principle OF our Tariff taxation, for long
time, has been one ofinjusticc. l, llas bccn
founded and carried uut on the i,lca that
some people should make nl".lcv bv it. and
The rest pay the cost Of it. Hence it has
been asserted to be beneficial to the coun-
try that lis manufactures of wool, of cotton
iron, and Of leather, were necessary to its
prosperity. 1t has been equally maintain
ed, that the lmporta.ions, not only of these
articles, but Of salt, tea, coffee, and mul-
t'tudc ot others, should be made the nstru-
mcnts less Of taxation than Of protection.
This system. as is we'll known, has been
carried to the extreme for the fostering of
Northern manufactures. We have had il
rs the soul oflcSi>lation for the last forty
years. 1t Is time it was cot to the core.
and Mr.. Boyces bill tends in that direction.
Let linn, 1T least, vindiratc his measure. if
he can not carry it. CHus. INtycurv.
