The Tariff Revenue QuestiOn-A KILLING
Blow from the Senate.

Our readers will perceive, from our Washing
ton dispatches of yesterdays proceedings in the
Capitol, that in caucus of the democratic ma
ority of the Senate, a resolution offered by Mr..
Bigler of Pennsylvania, to wit:-"That the reve-
nues being insufficient to meet the expenses of
the government, it is expedient to increase the
import duties to meet the deficiency"-was voted
down, and totally different resolution offered
by Mr. .Hunter-that "it is inexpedient to change
the law at the present session"-was adopted by
a large majority.
According to this decision we must abandon
all hopes of any notifications of the tariff, so far
as this expiring Congress is concerned This
caucus resolution ends the controversy; and any
attempt on the part Of the House to change the
law oflS57 with view to the relief of the trea-
sury will be cloves labor LOST
The President, meantime, as we are informed,
has prepared a special message showing the ne
cessity of an increase of the revenues, and that
twenty millions of dollars will be needed to meet
the estimated deficiencies of the ensuing fiscal
year. We suppose, however, that the democratic
members of the Senate have been well advised,
all along, of the necessity in question, and that
this resolution of yesterday was adopted in anti
cipation of this message, and from deliberate
purpose to do nothing upon the subject.
Another loan or another issue of Treasury
notes of twenty millions will, therefore, be the
inevitable alternative, leaving the responsibility
of redemption to the chances of the future.
Thus the judicious recommendations Of the Pre-
sident upon the tariff are defeated in demo-
cratic caucus of democratic Senate, and thus
the party in Congress is hurrying along the
downward road to destruction in its factious hos
tility to the policy of the administration How
far Mr.. Secretary Cobb may be responsible for
this hostility of the Senate to the tariff revenue
policy of the President may, perhaps, be
secondary question; but the result before us,
though sort of triumph Of Mr.. Cobb, is but
another step towards the final overthrow of the
party.
An extra session of the new Congress may
now be regarded as the next necessity, and in
that expedient the opposition will be afforded
every advantage in reference to their plan Of
operations for 1860. The Cuba bill is the only
remaining chance for the demoralized democracy,
and this Senate caucus vote upon the tariff indi-
| Gates anything but harmony upon Cuba.

accompanying the engraving minute descrip-
ton of the sacred edifice. The whole is endors-
ed by the imprimat,r of the Bishop in the follow
ing letter.
DEAR Sui have read carefully your plan Of Catholic
paper and approve Of the in all its parts Its scope
IL and Comprehensive, and will I'LL up chasm with
ont necessarily Interfering with other papers already es
tabshed You have my sanction TO proceed with as little
delay possible and you shall have my appreciation and
support Yours, faithfully, in Christ,
I JOHN, Archbishop of New York.
JOHN MuILALy, Esq.
We congratulate his Grace on the great revo-
luton effected in Catholic literature by
the introduction of the Metropolitan Record,
as the new journal is called The vulgar,
scurrilous Catholic press of this city was q
stumbling stone in the way of Catholic progress,
instead of helping the church along. The Arch
bishop, long since disguised with it, repudiated
the whole batch of these papers, particularly the
Freeman's Journal, the worst Of the lot. "Who
can bring clean thing out of an unclean? Not
one" says an inspired writer. Does fountain
send forth at the same time sweet water and Bit
ter? Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles? And how could the Fyeeman's Journal
be otherwise than notorious for its bad pre-
eminence conducted, as it has been,
by one of those philosophers who every
two or three years change their religion, and
adopt new ism, but are equally blind bgots in
each, not knowing enough of the manners
of gentlemen to represent any sect, or
to show a decent respect for the opinions
of those with whom they may happen to differ
for the time being-Opinions which they
will probably embrace to morrow them
selves with all the zeal of martyrs and confessors
The Archbishop's Catholic heart was almost
broken with paper which professed to be his
organ and at the same time scandalized the Ca
tholic religion by its conduct The new paper
is of an entirely different stamp 1t is highly re-
spectacle. Its very dress indicates the gentle
man, as its tone does the Christian. 1t looks
well, promises fair, and there is no doubt it
will do. 1t has the sanction of the Archbishop,
the good will of the Pope, and our own approba-
baton. What more does it want for success?

evident to every one that the propitious time for
the peaceable acquisition Of Cuba is at hand, and
that we should be prepared for action. Europe is
on the eve of mighty changes. Complications
that no man can see the end of are already made
One harsh word from an upstart Emperor has
sufficed to make every one Of the thrones of a
thousand years" trembe for its safety. Capital,
the most sensitive ofall human creations, already
shrinks before the signs of the coming storm The
people are beginning to arouse and the armies to
move, while intriguers and diplomatic agents are
Fastening their couriers from one end of Europe
to the other. These circumstances alOne-with-
out the assurance of the well-informed and
watchful President should be sufficient to bring
the subject to the attention of Congress, and to
cause it to act Upon it rests now the grave
responsibility, and the entire country hopes it
will not be wanting in the performance Of its
duty

REVOLUTION IN CATHOLIC LITERATURE.
want of respectable Catholic paper for this
great metropolis has long been felt. The metro
politan Archbishop has particularly felt it, the
Pope has been concerned about it, and we, as a
good Catholic, have sympathsed with them, and
prayed that the desidratum might be supplied
Our prayer has been answered at last, and we
can now congratulate Archbishop Hughes on the
possession of an organ after his own heart. Well
may he exclajm, like Pytbagoras on discovering

LOUIS NAPOLEON's SCHEMES IN ITALY.-The ap-
preaching marriage of Prince Napoleon to the
daughter of Victor Emanuel is significant in
dication of the form which French Intervention
is likely to assume in Italy. That Louis Napo-
leon was likely to act in concert with the italian
republicans we never for one moment supposed.
In this new family alliance, and in the evidences
observed in Italy itself, we discover the fore
shadowings Of his intentions Through Victor
Emanuel he means at once to assist the cause of
constitutional government amongst the Italians,
to pave the way for relaxations in his own po-
litical system in France, and to strengthen the
dynastic supports of his family. He dare not
seize upon the Italian provinces of Austria him.
SELF but he can annex them to Sardinia, and thus
create as powerful an interest in Italy as if he
were himself the master Of them. His present
schemes are less those of conquest than Of coun-
ter diversion and consolidation. He breads, as
it is well known, the italian republicans, and he
means to annihilate them by this move.
Once Sardinia raises the flag of national indie
pendence there is an end to the schemes of the
red republicans. Therefore it is, that in the
in different parts of Italy, the name Of Victor
Emanuel is used as keynote to prevent the
movement being COMPOUNDED with Mazzin plot.
That Louis Napoleon has been induced in a
measure to give this shape to his projects of
Italian Intervention by desire to keep up his
present alliance with England, there is reason to
believe. So long as he furthers the cause of con-
stitutional monarchy, he can count on the latter
remaining quiet spectator of his operations.
England has in reality an interest in keeping his
ambitious energies in this track, if they can be
confined within such limits She has everything
to gain by the spread of liberal institutions on
the European continent, just as she has every
thing to gain in the New World by American ex-
pansion. But will Prussia and the other German
States quietly look on at the territorial changes
which these Italian projects will effect? Will
they consent to Austria's being despoiled of
her fairest provinces merely to advance
the personal views of a sovereign whom they
have traditional right to distrust and hate
They will say-and with reason-that there is
no reliance to be placed in the professions of
monarch who is habitually given to violating his
pledges, and that the pretences under which he
claims right to interfere in Italian affairs will
be thrown aside as soon as he finds it convenient
to openly declare himself The extension of his
power in any direction is for them source of
danger, and it is not therefore to be supposed
that they will permit without remonstrance and
resistance, these aggressions against German
State.
These are few of the considerations which
impart serious aspect to the present troubles in
Italy. To us it seems impossible that the direc-
ton given to them can be fully carried out with
out involving in its consequences all the other
Continental Powers.

desire to experience the sensation described in |


Byron's lines -
has a strange, quick jar upon the ear,
That cooking OF pistol, when you know
moment more will bring the sight to bear
Upon your person, twelve yards OF or so
gentemany dstance-not too near
II you have got former friend or foe.
But, after being fred at or twice,
The ear becomes more Irish, and less nice
No, the ear nowadays becomes more used to
the lie and the insulting expression, and there
fore less nice upon points of honor. A Senator
rises and deliberately insults his peer. The lion
states thathe has no apology to make. Friends
are called in; correspondence ensues; the
English language is numerically tortured, and
at last very little hole is found through which
both parties can crawl on their hands and knees
Bottom begins to roar like the monarch Of the
forest, but soon changes his note to the mild
cooling of the turtle dove. 1t is cheap way Of
obtaining notoriety, and we are not surprised
that it is generally initiated. The illbreeding
and ungentlemanly wrangling commenced in the
federal Senate extend to the popular branch of
Congress, and again the small fry politicians of
Albany catch the chivalrous fever, and must
needs have their puny Pickwickian wrangles
Before great while we may expect to see a
Pickwickian affair of honor between some of our
Aldermen, Councilmen, school officers, consta-
bles or tide walters.
Leaving out of the question the ridiculous
position in which these honorable gentlemen
place themselves by going through with all
the preliminaries of hostile meeting,
without the remotest idea of ever coming
to the scratch, we wOuld fain inquire
what earthly good all this correspondence
can effect Even if it results in duel, does
Brown believe Smith any the less liar and
scoundrel because they have exchanged shots !?
Does a withdrawal or an apology wipe out de-
lberate and cool blooded insult? And, again,
are the private affairs of these belicOse persons
of so much consequence that the public business
should be delayed for their settlement? 1t is
with nations as with individuals. Diplomacy
however prolonged, and war, however bloody,
never gains point for either side, so far as the
practical and equitable settlement Of dispute
is concerned. The best shot or the most expert
swordsman triumphs in a duel, whether on the
right side or the wrOng-that is, if there can be
any right in that which is all wrong-and in war
the eagles of victory hover over the strongest
battalions. Would it not be better for all par
ties if our Senators and Representatives could
infuse little more dignity and decorum into
their public debates, and follow the recommen-
dation Of Napoleon, and cleanse their foul linen
at home AT any rate, let us have no more hum
bug about duelling If high words are to be &C
counted for in the field, let Congress make an
appropriation for a government shooting ground,
where the lions may roar and bite at the same
time.

The news from Washington this morning is i'm
portant. A caucus of democratic Senator's held
yesterday to deliberate upon the tariff question,
adopted resolutions declaring it inexpedient to
change the law at the present session of Congress-
and also that it is the duty of Congress to reduce
the expenditures instead of increasing the revenue
in order to meet the requirements of the public
service. This action has created no little excite
ment, especially among the Pennsylvania delega-
ton, who, together with the republicans, will vote
for no loan bill unless a change in the tariff is
coupled with it.
In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Gwin moved to re-
consider the vote on the Pacific Railroad bill, his
object being TO make the estimates advertised for
building the roads more specific, in order to pre-
vent fraudulent bids; but no action was taken on
the subject. The remainder of the session was de-
voted to District of Columbia business The House
considered number of private bills The Presi-
dent sent in a communication recommending pay
ment to Gov. Stevens for the purchase of supplies
during the Indian war in Washington Territory.
Mr. Houston, of Alabama, asked leave to introduce
a bill providing for loan of SIS 100000; and Mr.
Palmer, of New York, desired to introduce reso
luton instructing the Committee of Ways and
Means to report bill altering the tariff as to
ment, discriminating in favor of American products
and substituting specific for ad valorem duties
The republicans objected to the first and the demo
Gratis to the last proposition, whereupon the House
adjourned.
