n@- The bill from the House of Represen
tatives of the late Congress, reducing the du-
ties on imported paper from twenty-three to
three per cent, we learn was ultimately lost
in the Senate, both our Senators contributing
thereto, Notwithstanding the instructions
from the Ohio Legislature to sustain
the House bill reducing the same. The effect
of the failure of the bill will be apparent to
all thinking persons outside of the Senate
chamber, for within it the majority, including
Our Senators, appear to have been insensible
or indifferent to the effect of their action,
which in our humble judgment will be to enrich
the manufacturer without any necessity, with
monies unnecessarily drawn from the Nation
al and State Treasures, the county treasures,
the people at large, and the million readers of
the public press, all of whom eventually, di-
rectly and indirectly, have to foot the bill i:
the bill as it stands is productive of no revenue
Since the commission of this insane act, near
ly month has elapsed, and we regret that a
pressure upon our time has prevented ourlay-
ing all this proceeding before our readers, but
which we still propose doing in due time and
when opportunity shall permit-which, though
slow in coming, shall not be less telling, be the
actors whom they may.

NEWS OF THE DAY.
MAMMALIAN AND THE POPE

New York, March '22.-The Herald pub-
fishes official documents which show that
there is a complete rupture between Maximil-
ian and the Catholic Church. Among them
is letter from the Pope to Maximiian, in
which he utters warnings and gives advice,
all Of which, however, are disregarded by the
latter.
The Archbishops and Bishops of Mexico
also protest against acts of the Emperor and
appeal for the suspension of the measures
against the Church. Their protest is also
nnheeded, and the final decress of religious
tolerance and confirmation of the reform
laws of Jaurez was pronounced.

~ Dec. the 18th. 1864 I
A yenomous Rebel woman,
The Boston Journal SAYS:


Col Allen G. Litchfeld of East Boston, q
the 7th Michigan Cavalry, who. has been so
unfortunate in the events of the war as to
spend the past year of his life inrebel prisons,
reached his home at East Boston yesterday.
The numerous and varied stories of rebel
atrocities inhumanities, cruelties and indigni.
ties of every stripe, which have been SO often
written, are more than corroborated by his
narratives of personal experience and obser-
vation. - ~
During the period of his confinement in the
hall Of the prison. the prisoners were visited
by thousands Of the citizens of Richmond
and vicinity, who poured out their wrath in
abun lance. Among some of the most dis
tinguished visitors was Mrs Seddon, the wife
of thu then rebel Secretary of War. Her
farm, some distance from the city, had been
visited by portion of Dahlgren's command
a. few days before, and she was extremely au-
xious to IDENTIFY some of the prisoners as
among the party She was extremely violent
with her tongue, applying in rapid succession
such eepithets as ''inhuman monsters" hell
hounds" &C., and expressing in language
more forcible than elegant, the hope that the
Confederate government was strong enough
to hang them all, and if this could not be
be done they ought to be cast into prison and
left there to rot At the fourth day of their
confinement in the prison hall this latter sug-
gestion of the wife of the Secretary of War
was carried into effect, the whole party being
thrust into dungeon cells
The one in which COL Litchfeld was placed,
together with two other officers, was about
seven by twelve feet, and was in every respect
a perfect dungeon, being without either Ii ght
or ventilation Three other officers belonging
to Dahlgren's command were subsequently
added to the party, making six in all who
were confined in this small apartment.

mouth (o9 Tribune:
| A New PAcKET---It is rumored that first
class side-wheel packet will shortly be out in
the trade between this city and Pomeroy. We
hope this may prove to be the case, as it will
be an advantage to- our city, and to persons
living between the two points What we want
| is packet that will make her time promptly
and be able to compete with such boats as the
Telegraph and villa Wagoner. This would
secure to Portsmouth a great deal Of trade
that now goes to Cincinnati simply because
the Cincinnati boats are reliable and always
on time. The merchants of the river towns
can do as we'll by purchasing, of Portsmouth
dealers, as if. they purchased in Cincinnati,
and save the extra expense in travel and
freight .:E n
We concur with the Tribune in the opin-
ion, that the establishment ofsthe proposed
communication between Portsmouth and Pom
eroy, will prove highly advantageous to their
business and that of the intermediates ports
between the two main cities; and, further
more, we do'not hesitate to express our con
victions, that u business intercourse, if opened
through first class vessel, combining speed
and safety to be under the charge of kind
and obliging officers, will be highly conducive
to the interests and business of this. city, and
will be literally sustained by all classes of our
community
Pomeroy being seated in the midst of
vastlyrich mineral district of country, abound
ing in predictions just what the business of
Porsmouthfrequires; and our people having
wants which enterprising commercial men of
the latter city are capable of filling, we can
not see but that a business once fairly estab-
lished between these growing and thriving
cities, will be naturally beneficial and des-
tined to assume great proportions. Not doubt
ing therefore, but that the benefits sought for
by carrying the foregoing enterprise into ex-
ecution, may readily be obtained, we heartily
commend the project inaugurated by our
neighbors, and in behalf of our own people,
invite them to hasten its consummation. which
we doubt not, will be well received and sus-
tained by the business community of Pomeroy
notwithstanding our facilities of communica-
tlon with Cincinnati, and the quality of the
boats through which it is had,
