Montgomery and Osawstauie Brown are coatIn-

Yankees were q long while IN rousing IN hansAs'

The lesson is rot lost upon our legislators Inero
are growing picions among them that II is easier
to kndle conhagra,ion than il s to eItinguish II
= reflection 81 profound that II escaped the stteh,
tion Of the great movers Of the measure re'eiIe1
~. Ii il believed that Commanders Brown and
Montgomery will have TO be treated win on the
basis of their military successes. No DOUBT = en-
tertained Of their genuine herosm, or OF the grca'
services they have rendered 10 the tree-cta'e
csute in Kansas.
Congress is likely 10 pass the French Spollation
bill il having gone through the Senate. The House
is deemed To be largely in its favor; ana as no
money is required. but only Government Stock
hearing per cent interest, payable at pleasure, 10
carry out ia stipulations, Mr.. Buchanan need not
veto il ON the ground of want of money. Inc
prospect Of this long standing claim az last TAXING
he form Of law was never better than now
JEFF. Davis vetoed the bill when Pierce was fresi-
dent. as lie did also the bill granting pubhc ands
70 the States for insane ssylums. 1t Is not known
that Mr. Buchanan has anybody IN his Caoinet 10
do his yetoing for him on this occasion.
IL is not believed that anything will be done with
the tariff this session. Mr.. Morrill, of Vermont Is
industriously engaged in celebrating oil Whlcn
the Opposition may support But whether II WIN
get Il e support of a majority of Congress IS much
more doubtful. Mr.. Buchanan is the only member
of the Administration who feels any great sohci-
tude for change of the present tariff, and his nam
idea is 70 have specific instead of al rdl0rem du-
ties: and Ia get up the rates on some kind OF iron
for the benefit of some of his Pennsylvania friends
With this scheme the body of his party do not SYM
pathize Mr.. Cobb and his hackers believe IN the
speedy revival of business, and that with thus, the
existing tariff will give revenue enough. They do
not .ay so in so many words but this Is their idea,
and their plan is 10 supply the temporary wants o
the Treasury by borrowing. We may look FOR
another loan but not for change IN the tarifi.
The only consideration that raises the least pre-
sumption of modification is to be found in the
political bearings of the question. But the party
m power is so broken and divided on this, ss on
every other political question, that II Is impossible
10 see bow they can agree.
II is by no means so certain, "a i sometimes al
legged that the bill pensoning the Soldiers ot the
War of 1872 will not pass the Senate. Senators
feel chacrined and dsgusted with the preciptate
action of the House. and are inclined to shun the
responsibility which the House shirked and threw
up6n their shoulders. The case is not an agreeable
one to dwell on.
The Pacific Railroad looms a little. There ls
even chance of bill passing the Senate. Mr..
Doolitte has scheme of simultaneously starting
three roads, northern. middle and southern one.
He is for having each sef-msking, and let IT go as
far ss il WILL on the basis of giving away alternate
sections of land to actual settlers, and have the re-
naming half given to the construction OF the road
An idea prevails that this plan would make the
northern road.
The design TO destroy the fishing bOuntes exists
in full vigor. Ii is believed that the bill which
passed the Senate last session will be forced through
the House az this, J. ;. p.
