Of the tariff Even members Of the Cabinet that
favora protective policy longer conceal their belief
that its enactment mpoluic at th present juncure

Of domestic and In ernatonal complications The Presi
has doubtessy wished this his Pttsburg speech
that contributed indirectly much to the passage Of
the tariff bill unsad. 1t looks that, with the present
peaceabe prospect the impracticabiy Of the enforce
ment Of its provisions Is apt to induce the admin
straton to call extra session of Congress thar the
Southern imbrogo. Secretary Chase is said TO have
openly confessed within the last few days. to promi

APPOINTMENTS.
Frank r. Blair should be voted the thanks Of the Prc
