nsg-Fhe Ways and Means Committee are
holding daily sessions, aud hope to complete
the tariff bill by Saturday. They are said
to have agreed on recommending an increase
of fifty per cent, on the duty ON imported
segars, wines and liquors, and will probably
add eleven and half cents per pound to
the present tax on imported wool. An
equal increase onall imported woolen fabrics
would in this case be also necessary.
The question ofgiving sixtyor ninety days
notice for the proposed tariff bill is provo
king discussion The general tariff of IS4S
went into execution from and after the day
of its passage. All special tariff bills except
that Of July, 1862, also went into immediate
operation, though some of them we're quite
general in their character, and that of April
1864, was entirely so. Since the commence
ment Of the war all provisions affecting our
importations have taken effect from the day
of their passage of July, 1862, of
which very short notice was given.

THE MARYLAND Coal TRADE. The
Cumberland Cirilian says that the coal trade
over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
since the resumption of trade in April, has
been greatly increased From all the mines
west Of Cumberland so, 600 tons Of focal were
transported by this road in four weeks, end
ing on last Friday For the first week in
last month II, $40 tons were carried. this be-
ing the largest week work but one in the
history of the company. In the fourth
week of last month the quantity shipped
was q 800 tons, being ?, $50 car loads, an
increase of 2, $50 tons over any previous
week. The trade gradually increases with
the increase of the capacity of the road.
New locomotives, new cars, and the double
track, which is almost complete between
Cumberland and Baltimore, contribute to
this work, and the amount Of coal shipped
this year by the road will be much greater
than any previous year. The company is
now able to transport l,000,00 tons per
year, and expect next year to swell their ca
pacity to double that amount

SPEAKING Of the Reconstruction Amend

The third section is not awhittoo severe

ted their oaths to support the Constitution
of the United States, from holding off in

removed by act Of Congress. And we doubt
not that on the slightest exhibition of peni-
tence for the late wrong doing of the REBEL.
ion, a full forgiveness will be freely accorded.
Nor can it be doubted that the utter absence
Of this spirit and per contra, a justification
on the part of the South of their reasonable
actions, has strengthened the feeling that
treason must thus be made odious. We be-
Ieve that the peace and security Of the
Union require the partial disfranchisement
proposedi in the Amendment. Oaths having
been violated and no acknowledgements of
1t or repentance therefor having been made
or manifested there is no security for their
sanctity remaining inyiolate in the future.
And the nation must punish the periured
among her servants.

COLD COMFORT FOR COPPER.
HEADS.

All the hopes the Copperheads may have
had of carrying the elections in the loyal
States this Fall were based upon the as
sumption that the President would carry
with him into the Copperhead ranks enough
followers from the Union party to throw
the balance in their favor. Since the pas
sage of the reconstruction amendment,
which is conceded as the main plank in the
Union platform, they have not only begun
to doubt the President, but have been terror
stricken by the fact that the amendment
was passed by full Union vote, with the
exception of two Senators both of whom
have been repeatedly requested by their res
peetiEe State Legislatures to resign as they
no longer represent the views of their con
stituents. The party they had fondly hoped
was broken in fragments now looms up be-
fore their astonished vision compact in a
united faith and buoyaut With the yigor and
strength of exuberant life.

HARRISBURG, June q.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, sit
ting ut Wilkesbarre yesterday, rendered a
decision in the case of Huber VS.. Ranken,
error to the Court of Common Pleas of
Franklin county (the deserter voting easel.
The decision does not argue the constitu-
tionality of the law of Congress, but is
chiefly confined to the point at issue, to wit,
the right of Judge of election to reject a
man vote, when the word deserter' is
written opposite his name on the list of vo-
ters. Chief Justice Woodward and justices
Strong aud Thompson decided that the
judge Of election could not refuse 4 man s

Of desertion; while Justices Reed and Ag-

it IS of remarkable purity. As taken crude

the best English refined borax. Clear Lake
