It was agreed TO meet on Monday at ten
O'clock, the tariff bill to be continued in COM
mittee Of the whole till one o'c'ock, when
such amendments as may have been acted upon
shall be reported to the House.
During the debate on the tariff, Mr.. Sickles
said the CD iirman of the COMMITTEES on ways
and means, in bringing this bill before the
House, in manuscript, and thus keeping the
House ignorant Of its contents, meant to pro-
duce a resemblance between the House and
Mr.. Lincoln, if possible, for he (LiHcoln) had
said at Pittsburg that be did not know much
about the tariff, and it appeared as if the gen.
teman from Ohio (Sherman) wished the House
to know less, and thus resemble the President
slect-at least in ignorance Of an important
subject 70 The country.
He congratulated the gentleman from Ohio
anon the enlarged craftsmanship which pre-
SIDED over the reception and elaboration Of
this measure, at this moment, when the Confed-
eTacy is mensced with ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and
will control the Europesn States, whether it
shall be a Foliey Of non-interference, or the
I policy Of recognition Of the Southern Confede-
tracy. The chairman Of the committee on
ways and means has offered the strongest
prOvocation TO England and France to hasten
an alliance with the Southern Confederscy.
The gentleman from Ohio was only TO persist
10 making war on the free trade policy, BY re-
inasgursting the protective tariff system to
accomplish this. Is ibis to be the controlling
policy and The controlling idea Of the northern,
eastern and western partitions Of this confed-
eracy2 The gentleman and his party have
for years, in all thsir anti-slavery crusades,
been the mere instruments Of English intriguss,
which looked to the -dismembeTment Of our
Union. This is another step in the same
downward course.
The chairman, (CoIfax, } said the gentleman
must eonfne himself to the subject before the
committee.
idr. Garnet. what, tn the psaeock,s
feather?
he then essayed to draw a. comparison be-
tween the Duke Of wellington and Gen. Scott,
pronouncing IN favor OF the former. Money is
wanted to establish a body guard to Scott to
resist JEFF Davis and Ex-G Governor Wise. This
remark was met with Kisses.
Mr.. Garnett said serpents were the proper
emblems OF the downfall OF this corrupt Gov
eminent.
Mr.. Sherman made a general reply to the
objections thai had been made on the Demo-
cratic side, showing bow that The public debt
was one hundred millions, and that the effect
OF it would be to increase the revenue. He in
cilentally mentioned that the omissions footprint
the bill was owing 10 the neglect Of the fore
man of the printing Office. He pressed the ne
cessity'of the passage Of the bill to-day, and
appealed to bis party friends to sustain him.
After an earnest running debate the eonsid-
Grafton Of the bill was postponed till Monday.
