THE TAR1FF-A: the conference of opposi.
tion members from Pennsylvania Thursday, in
regard to the tariff, they agreed to recommend
to the Committee on Ways and Means to fix
specific duties on iron at the following rates :
On pig iron, 81 per tun railroad iron, $l2
common bar iron, SIS per tun fine bar iron,
l cent per pound boiler iron, IA cents per
pound Russia sheet iron, 1-2 cents per
pound. These are the principal descriptions,
though scrap and other minor classes of iron
are provided for. This proposition has not
yet been submitted to the Ways and Means
Committee, and may be modified before being
presented in the new bill TO the House 1t is
probable the tariff will be reported about the
middle of next week, before all the appropra-
tions are submitted, to give it proper posi-
tion in the order of business.

RoYALTY VISITING CANADA-It is now de-
fnitely understood that His Royal Hghness
Albert Edward SAKE Coburg G Goths, the Prince
of Wales and heir to the throne of Great
Britain, will visit the loyal subjects in the Pro
vinccs in the first week in June. Great pre-.
parations are making for his reception. The
precedents for this visit are found in the
advent of Prince William Hcnry-afterward
King William the Fourth-some seventy five
years ago in company with Captain, afterwards
Lord Nelson and of the Duke of Kent, father
of Queen Victoria. The ostensble object of
the visit of Englands future ruler is to officiate
in placing the last stone of the Victoria Bridge
over the St. Lawrence at Montreal He will
probably visit some portions of our territory,
and be lionized extensively.

MR.. GROWS SPEECH.

We publish on our outside the great speech
of Mr.. Grow, delivered in the House, on the
subject of Free Homes for Free men," This
speech will add greatly to Mr. G's reputation
as statesman and friend of Free Labor
We append the following fattering comment
from the Tribune -
ave publish this morning the Speech Of
the Hon. G.. A. GROW to the House on We'd
nesday last in exposition and advocacy Of the
policy of devoting the Public Lands in limited
tracts to the free occupancy and use of Actual
Settlers thereon. Mr.. GROW, though yet q
young man, has honorably commended him
self to the gratitude of his countrymen and the
blessings of posterity by his early, ardent, per-
sistent, efficient championship Of the Free
Homestead policy, and this speech will add to
his well.earned popularity with the philanthro
pic, the thoughtful, and the poor. We trust
it must be disseminated as widely as possible.
Fifty thousand copies of it were subscribed for
in the House, Immediately on its delivery,
though many Of the Members were then list
ening to Gov. Seward in the Senate, and we
presume Quarter of Million will in time be
sent out from Washington City. We shall
print Two hundred and Eighty-odd Thousand
copies of it this week in The TRIBUNE, and
have pamphlet copy for sale forthwith. We
do not believe more effective document can
be circulated by Republicans.
For the silly lie that ours is a" negro party"
that " it has no idea but nigger !nigger ?"
that it cares nothing or thinks nothing Of
the interests and welfare of White Men-and
all that poor, miserable trash--may thus be
refuted, when selfreSpect will not permit US to
plead to it directly. Men of sense know that
resistance to the Extension of Slavery is based
on desire to preserve the Territories to be
settled and cultivated by Free Whites, instead
Of having them mOnopolized, as Alabama and
Mississippi, Missouri and Arkansas, Florida
and Texas originally were, by the owners of
human chattels. That the Republican policy
is preferable for Black Men as we'll as White
we rejoicingIy believe but it was in the in
terest and for the benefit of Whites that
Thomas Jefferson first proposed, and Madison
sanctioned, and Washington officially approx
ed, the exclusion of Slavery from the Federal
Territories. As it was then, so it is now
and when Congress comes to act on the subject
of the Tariff, we shall again see which party
acts in the interest and for the benefit of the
Free Laboring Masses. Meantime, let US ask
the People everywhere to read Mr.. Grows ar
gumeut for the Free Homes and watch the
action of Congress on that vitaly important
subject"

The SHoEMAKERs' SrRIKE-The Massachu,
setts ShoemakerS' strike is gradually extending
over the State, and also into New Hampshire
The rotouq demonstrations at Lynn widened
the gulf between the manufacturers and their
workmen to degree that placed them in hos,
tile attitudes 1t is estimated that the num-
her at present on the strike, including the
women, is about 5000. OF the continuance
of the strike We have no means of determining
but it is supposed there will hardly be gene
raj resumption Of work until next fall.

A FLUTTkRING AMONG THE CoRRUPTIoNIsTs.
JOHN CovoDE's resolutions to appoint a
Committee to investigate matters in which Mr..
Buchanan is said to be concerned, (says the
Harrisburg Telegraph } causes a great deal of
tribulation among the corruptionists. Ash,
more, 0f South Carolina, permitted his anger
to take on a white heat When Mr. Grow
very politely reminded the irate Carolinian that
he was entirely out of order, the latter fairly
foamed with wrath, and declared in very loud
tones that Mr. Grow had done nothing during
the entire session but call him (Ashmore) to
order and further, that he Grow might call
him (Ashmore) to order one time too many
We are at loss to know just what Mr.. Ash
more intended to convey by this delicate hint
unless it was that Mr. Grow might take warn
ing by the fate of Messrs. Summer and Hick
man. Whatever he may have intended, we
hope Mr. Grow will continue to watch the slips
of Mr. Ashmore and to remind him of such
breaches of order as be may be guilty of. Mr.
G.. will thus be able to reach that zone time
too many" if it be reachable, and then the
public will know what it costs to preserve
order in Congress, Mr. Grew has only tc
avoid stabs in the dark, and rencounters with
cavaliers who hunt in droves

ANOTHER lNCENDIARY FIRE.-About hall
past nine o'clock on Tuesday evening last an
alarm of fire was sounded When wereached
the street we observed the flames bursting from
Mr.. StorrSS barn, which was situated near his
residence, right opposite the Ahwaga House
but on the opposite side of the SuSquehauna
river. The barn was built on the hill side
front three stories high and on the back two.
The fire must have been set on the back part
and from the inside of the barn, because when
first seen the flames were bursting out on all
sides of the main building. From the first it
was quite evident that the barn and all in it
must be destroyed but the fire companies turn
ed to with a will, and soon had steady stream
on tie fire. Engine Co. No. 8 placed their
machine at the Susquehanna, over $50 rods,
We believe, distant, and played iuto Engine No
|, placed on the road. 1t was the largest
stretch of hose we have yet seen, vet both ma
chimes worked BEAUTIFULLY. No. placed their
engine at reservoir near the lower corner of
the barn. and as long as the water lasted did
good work. No. 5 was on hand. and when it
became evident that the barn could not be
saved it was pulled down on short notice.
The barn, gran hay, oats, and carriages
and horses were, we are glad to hear insured
for $500, which makes Mr.. Storrs' loss perhaps
not over 5000, the whole being valued at about
$1,000. There we're two horses, large quau-
tity of hay, straw, and grain, destroyed besides
wagons carriages. sleighs, ETC.
Mr.. Storrs and his family generously proyid-
ed refreshments for the Firemen, but as usual
the mass Of folks who rush to fires to see plumber
and devour, got in aud almost totally exclud-
ed the firemen. We would not speak of this
were we not unwilling that Mr.. Storrs and his
family should mistake those who behaved so
rudely round his table for the Fremen of the
village. We looked in twice, and can safely
say that nine tenths of those who then sur
rounded the table were not Firemen The
Fire Department must take means to prevent
the generosity of our citizens for being outrag-
ed as it has been for some time past Diego
Times.
