THE HOMESTEAD.
The Senate has asked another Committee u
Conference on the Homestead from tho House, end
appointed one on their side without Western
man on il. Their three Committees have had ma
joIites OF Southern men, and each one Of then
has refused to extend the benefits Of the proposed
bill to lands already surveyed and open to pro-
empton. Their only proposition was one which
10 pioneer would accept s ts
THE TARIFF BILL KILLED.
The Democratic majority Of the Senate have
killed the Tariff bill, as was anticipated, though
Mr.. Bigler gave assurances that the postponemeat
would be defeated. His party friends deserted
him almost in solid column, leaving the Senator -
explain to his constituents why some Of the promi-
ses made, and expectations excited, have not bcea
fulfilled.
On Mr.. Hunters motion to postpone till Deccm-
Der, the vote stood Yeas Is, Nays %, excluding
cusively Democratic, and the negative Republican.
except Messrs. Bigler and Latham.
Mr.. Hunters speech on the postponement was
deliberate attack on the whole policy and principle
of Mr.. Morrilrs bill, and denial Of the necessity
for increased revenue.
Mr.. Biger controverted his positions with facts
and figures which were unanswersble.
L. al. =
Of the protective policy, showing its beneficial
effect upon our industry and the prosperity of the
country.
Mr.. Simmons demonstrated that the present
revenues were insufficient, and it was the duty of
Congress, if loan was created, to extinguish the
floating debt of $2l ,OOO, OO0 to provide the means
for its extinction.
These arguments produced no effect on the fore.
gone conclusion OF the Democratic side, which de-
liberately voted the postponement in disregard Of
consequences and with the knowledge tina! il would
be fatal to their party in Pennsylvania.
THE ADJOURNMENT.
Tie Committee on Ways and Means will meet IN
the morning to determine upon the time Of adjourn
ment. Since the action of the Senate on tho
tariff, they viii probably recommend Wednesday,
though the day will depend upon the progress Of
business in the Senate.
THE PUBLIC PRINTING.
If the joint resolution which the House passed,
reducing the cost of printing 40 per cent on exit
ing rates, can be reached in the Senate, there 10
every probability that it viii pass. This is tho
most efectual mode of stopping the. gross corrup-
tons which the present system has established.
THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
Both Houses are now engaged on she Appropri-
alton bills the Senate having up the Army bill,
with the inconvenience Of the House in its
amendments to the original bill, and the House
having before it the Senate amendments to tho
bill. Both will ultimately be settled in confer.
ence.
COOL PROPOSITION.
Mr.. Slidell had the complacency, after voting to
postpone the Tariff bill till December, to offer
resolution that committee be appointed to sit
during the recess, with view of inquiring If .
modification be necessary. This electioneering
sham will hardly answer the expected purpose.
THE HOUMAs GRANT.
Efforts are making, by the parties interested, to
prevent any action by the House on the Senate
bill repeating the Houmas grant. Ithis legislation
be hot completed now, patent viii issue, as tho
act of 1858 was only suspended. Every expedient
will be employed to postpone consummaton in
the House. Let it be looked after.
