The House in which the President

The House n which the President lives is un-
doubtedy matter of some interest to the mitured
citizens of this Democratic realm, just the
House that Jack Built is an edlfce which pecu-
liarly attracts the attention Of our more juvenile
population. Some years ago stump orator, dur.
ing an excited Presidential campaigl, described
the interior OF that Nhted edfce as gorgeous with
every conceivable splendor, and luxurious vi h
every conceivable comfort. The Washington cor.
respondent of Boston newspsper-beiug the
same paper which then gave large circulation to
the upholstery honors OF Mr. Charles Ogle-is now
writing letters TO show that there exists in the
"pslatial White House al utter destitutOn Of
chairs, sofas, carpets, fryogpans, pictures otto.
mans 'abourets bedstesds, candlesticks coal hods,
pokers, tin kitchens pepper casters, table cloths
salvers, kDises forks, spoons shoe brushes, hair
brushes, tooth h.brushes and the whole family Of
brushes, including corn brooms and rye brooms.
Until the year 1853, the White House, as We are
told, was not decently furnished" II was not
even comfortable to live in for want of stoves
CRATES and Goals. But although something was
done, in that memorable year, that something was
confined principally to the introduction Of hot
water pipes, which, as the House has almost al
ways been too hot to hold its nmstes, seems to US
to have been an expenditure in the wrong direc-
ton.

Can any thing be done at this session OF Con
gress in the way Of revising the Tariff in the inter-
est of our depressed ard languishing National In
dustry This question 10 very generally asked,
aud the answer is snxiously awaited by hundreds
Of thousands. We will endesvor to throw some
Light upon it.
It is unt oubtedly very serious fact that the ap-
propriate Committees-Wsys and Means OF the
House, and Finance Of the Senate-are completely
in the hands Of the enemies Of such revision. The
resignation of Clancy Jones gives the Chairman
ship of the Wsys and Means to Mr. Phelps of
Missouri, Prt-Slsyery Free Trader while Mr.
Hunter of Virginia blocks the way in the Senate,
each of them backed by reliable msjority. In
view of the strong probability that Congress would
take the MISTER out Of the hands of these gentle
men and their supporters, il any bill chsngns the
Tariff in any wsy were reported by either OF them
We presume il to be true that they have resolved 10
report no Tariff bill whatever, bu: let the Trea-
sury like the Country, get on as it best may.
Their position is undoubtedly one Of great power,
nd gives them command over the result.
In opposition to this We have three separate in
uences, each operating powerfully in favor of a
resent revision namely:
l. A Treasury completely out at the elbows,
with IFS current revenues clearly inadequate, its
uthoriiy TO borrow nearly exhausted, and Con.
ress I'VE trust) inhexibly averse to running in
debt any further;
H. The National Industry PROSTATE and paral-
lied in certain departments. consequently feeble

to bring up the bill which grants public lands to
the several States for the benefit of agriculture

the widow and fan lily Of Col Turnbull, gave rise
TO an animated debate. A memorial from the
grandson of Gen. Nat. Greene Of Rhode Island,
asking for aid in the pubcat IN Of his graadiathers

Numerous bills were introduced into the House.
