From Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-It is understood here that
the President is preparing special Message to
Congress, pressing upon that body the absolute
necessity OF promptly passing bill for revenue
purposes, and estimating that the deficit in the
Treasury will be about twenty millions at the close
of the current fiscal year.
The Railroad Convention of the four great lines
from the sea-board to the West, which is now in
session here, does not get along very smoothly
The chief points in dispute are the advantages al
legged to have accrued to Baltimore from the course
pursued by the Baltimore and Ohio Railway, and
the violations of the st. Nicholas Hotel agreement
by the New York roads, The Erie Railway is
charged with violating the eleventh article of the
compact, by allowing drawbacks on freight re-
ceived through the Buffalo and Hornesville Road;
whilst the New York Central Railway is charged
with violating the fifth article of the agreement in
securing freight to itself by allowing the drayage
charges to and from the Hudson river road depot
in New York city. Mr.. Garrett, of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railway, offered resolution that all the
stipulations contained in the ST. Nicholas Hotel
agreement be rigidly adhered to, and declared that
if any of the conditions were infringed his road
would withdraw. The discussion on this resolution
became so animated and personal that the meeting
was adjourned until tonight. 1t is now in session
again. Hon. Erastus Corning, of the New York
Central, is backed by Dean Richmond Superinten-
dent Hbbard, and several of the ablest Directors
of the road. Some of the knowing ones declare,
that while the New York roads seem disposed to
maintain the agreement now, they will, in all pro-
liability, abandon it when their Lake connections
open in the spring.

of the Senate, pro tempore.
From the Reporter of the Associated Press
The tariff bill of Mr.. Phelps of Missouri, fully
meets the views of Secretary Cobb, who believes
that it will yield more revenue and be less protec-
tive than the tariff of 1857.
Statements have been made bv certain parties
on which newspaper paragraphs have been pre-
dcated that no increased duties is necessary but
is ascertaned that Secretary Cobb believes other
| wise, and so does the President 1t is estimated
that the rates in Mr. Phelps bill would have increas-
ed the revenues on the past years mportaons about
| S6,500,000.
The reply of the Secretary of the Treasury to an
inquiry made of him by the House will doubtless be
That the receipts from the customs and sale of pub
lie lands during the next fiscal year will not be suf
cient to meet the expenses of the government
1t appears from recently received official des-
patches that the Cooie trade to Havana is conduc-
ted principally at Macoa, and escapes the urisdic
| tion of that colony.
The emigration of respectable Chinese to the
gold fields of California and Australia appears to
! be about $4,000 per annum. Many of them return
| again, and American vessels receive good share
| of the passage money. But this trade so far as
California is concerned, will be cut off, for by law
the master of vessel is subject to a fine of $500
for every Chinese brought by him into that

meantime, have an opportunity to read them
