THE TARIFF IN CoNGEEss.-In the House of
Representatives on the 18th, Hon. Z. Joy
Morris asked leave to offer a resolution de-
claring that the existing tariff was found in
adequate TO supply the government with reve-
nue., and instructing the Committee on Ways
and Means to inquire into the expediency of
reporting a bill revising it, substituting home
for foreign valuation, specific for I'D CQloren
duties, and augmenting the duties on articles
which come in competition with American
manufactures and products as will afford in
creased protection to American industry and
labor. The House refused to suspend the rules,
in order that the resolution might be taken up,
by vote of 50 ayes to 1OI nays, decided
majority Of our masters in Congress being ut-
willing that the Tariff question should disturb
their equanimity. The industry of the coun-
try is not sufficiently prostrated to require at
tention in that quarter. After a while the
people will demand hearing, and they will
have it.

EVERY MAN HAS HIS PRIcE.-It is no Won
der many people believe the caption of this
article to be true when such developments are
brought to light as have just been diyuiged by
an investigating committee in Wisconsin.
This committee examined into the history of
the passage of the land grant bills of 1859,
through the Wisconsin Legislature. The re-
port, which makes a volume of 400 pages,
shows that thirteen members OF the Senate
had assigned to them in bonds and stocks of
the La Crosse and Milwaukee Railroad S175,-
600. The members of theAssembly who voted
for the bill each had from $4,000 to SO, GOO;
only three members who voted for the bill did
not receive bonds or stocks. Only four Sena-
tors who voted for the bill received none. OF
the State officers who received bonds, 4. D..
Smith, is set down $4,000. Governor Bash
ford had $4,000 in bonds. The Madison
Journal says the rascality, impudence, and
fraud which has marked the course of the man.
ayers of the company is astounding.

The WEATHER AND CRops.-The unusual
wet weather, which has prevailed all over the
Western States, during the last three weeks,
has made farming, to any extent, impossible,
and the consequence is very little Corn has
been planted as yet. Letters which came to
hand during the past week, says the Cincinnati
Price Current, speak very gloomily of the pros
poets as regard the Corn crop. In Illinois,
Kentucky, Indiana, and this State, not over
one-tifth of 4 crop has, as yet, been planted /;
and the ground is generally SO wet that, no at
tempt can be made to plant. Ordinarily, Corn
planting is finished at this date, though in
some years, planting has been done to some
extent, about the 1st Of June, but when plant
ed so late, q late and favorable season is re-
quired to mature it. Should the weather be-
come dry now, and remain so throughout the
remainder of the month, no fears need be en-
tertained that a sufficient quantity will not be
planted to make large crop; but the indica-
tions up to last evening, did not indicate this.
This weather is also unfavorable for Wheat
making it grow too luXurant, and therefore IL
able to ''lodge' and to injury by .'rust.'' Rye
is already in head, and looks promising. Grass
is very luxuriant, and the yield Of Hay must
| be enormous.
As general thing, with the exception of
Corn, the prospects Of most abundant har-
vest are, so far, highly favorable. The supply
OF all kinds of agricultural produce promises
to be abundant; and should the weather be-
come dry now, which, to say the least, it is
not unreasonable tosexpect, the Corn crop will
not be an exception.
The Fruit, chiefly Peaches and Cherries, has
been injured by frosts in some localities, bnt
on the whole, taking the country together, the
yield will be abundant. In the Southern
States, where the greatest alarm prevailed re-
garding the damage by frost, it has been
found, according to the advices by the last
mails, that the injury was but partial and con-
fined to certain localities. In the vicinity OF
Knoxville, Tennessee, where it was thought
the Fruit had been all killed, it has been as
certained there will be an average crop.

himself of the opportunity to review his blunders
and his attempts to destroy his party, and form bet
ter and more disnteFesed resolutions Tot the future
If Mr.. McRae was distribdtionist,i in 1859, when
the recommendations to office to which, be refers
were given him, it is quite certain that those who
gave them did not know it. Having given them,
they did not withdraw them during on account
Of his contest with Mr.. Ashe, though they might
have done SO with entire propriety and justice; and
it is fair to presume that they had weigh: with
the President in making the appointment. And yet
those who u this extent stood by Mr.. McRae while
he was disorganizing. and who raised no voice to
prevent his appointment, sought to be held re-
sponsible for his errors and Mr. McRae himself would
inure them politically for the charity and kindness
which they extended to him, and which aided in
some degree, at least, in preventing his destruc-
ton as public man! TGE
We have said that in our opinion Mr.. McRae is
not very deeply concerned on the subject of dstri.
button and the public lands and that he is the VIC
tim of disappointed ambition Do not the facts
which we have presented prove what we say? His
ambition has been mortified and he has been disap-
pointed in his hopes since he failed to obtain
the Chilian mission; and so far as distribution and
the PuOHC IanOS are concerned, lie gave lueu uP 40
soon as respectable and desirable Office was ten
dered him. For four long years the plundering and
the squandering, he alleges, went yet he was
far away, apparently oblivous of the issue which
had served him SO handsomely in 1853, while his
present Know Nothing supporters, oblivious of it
ALSO were engaged in the godlike work of persecu-
ting the stranger and the Catholic and burdenng
mems conscences with horrid oaths. We heard of
him at the Osend Conference, we heard of him trav.
cling upon the Rhine, and heard of him inter
esting himself to establish commercial intercourse
between the Southern United States and France;
but the winds bore to us across the Atlantic lam
entaons from the gentleman over the rapid loss to
the old States of the Concderacy of their share of the
public lands. Perhaps he nursing the issue
with view to another demonstration for office
Perhaps he regarded it as his "Cheshire cheese"
which would not spoil by keeping-asa hobby too
valuable to be mounted and put under whip and
spur except for a given purpose and with the Ger
tainty of an adequate return. But of this we will
speak in our next
