OUR IARIFES.

For some years past, Congress has acted on the
principle Of tinkenng the Tariff from time to time,
but never radically recasting it, until eight distinct
Tariffs are now wholly or partially in operation and
none but an expert can tell how sdch a section or
provision of one Tariff has been qualified by such a
section or a clause Of subsequently enaciedi and
the whole business Of computing duties ingenious
puzzle whereby the adroit and INSCRIPTIONS profit at
the expense of the inexperienced and simple. And
now we hear with alarm that Congress is tempted to
tinker again, making the ninth time wherein duties
have been imposed altered until the confusion
shall have become so utter as to drive plain men to
despair.
We need a Tariff that shall be complete in Itself,
making no reference to former schedules OF duties,
but evying and fixing al the duties hencelorth to be
collected. This Tariff should be, 50 far as pos
sible, SPECIFIC; charging so much per pound
hundred, or tun, On every article imported
All civilized nations, however divergent on
other points, are agreed in regarding Al
Valorem duties as offering premiums on perjury and
fraud and thus to be avoided to the utmost Put all
the imports into the scales, and say how much per
pound shall be paid on each article and honest inn
porters will have tie fair play which is now denied
them-the constant tendency being to a concentration
Of the importing business in the hands OF merchants
the least scrupuous and least responsible.
1t is possible to make far simpler, shorter
clearer less equyocal Tariff than we have yet had;
and now is the time to enact il. 1t need not take
half the time that rccastng the Internal Revenue act
required of this Congress. That act will have been
considerably simplined and classified when enacted
why not the Tariff as well DO let us have an act
complete in ITSELF and imposing such duties as can
neither be misinterpreted nor cyadcd.

OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The fact that many destructive fires have recently
occurred in our City is insidousy used to dspaagc
our new Paid Fire Department. Why We have
had lately seven alarms Of fire in evening: whose
fault is that We have had destructive fires break
ing ont at points where no fire be accounted for
on any other hypothesis than that ofncendiarism, often
at such hours and under such circumstances, as
rendered the destruction Of vast amounts Of property
inevitable Is that the fault of the Fire Department
Il is true fires are now very NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
monty so-but, whatever may be attributable to the
new system certainly no one can honestly suppose that
the fires have increased in consequence Of the change.
The causes of connagratons and the method of ex-
tingaishing them two distinct matters Since the
Paid Fire Department first wentinto operation, the sys
TEN has had many friends and also many enemies but
lis enemies have been and are ardent in attempt
Ing its overthrow than its friends in It's defense We tell
lis enemies, and we speak adyisedly that they are
proceeding to criminal lengths in striving to break
down. We tell them that they road that, in
stead OF leading to the ree,tablishment of the old
system, leads but too surely to the State Prison.
Does any sane believe that the extraordinary co.
incidence OF 80 many large aud destructive fires that
have of late afflicted this City is the result Of mere
accident We know the bitter anger felt by the old
engne-boys, by the runners hangers-on and thieves,
toward the new Department; we know the wishes
daily expressed by them for its failure. We have
heard their threats aud their loud rejocings as the
flames have consumed one after another Of our mag
nifcent buildings and we tell them that arson is one
of the most seyerey.punished crimes known to
the law. We have taken care to notice their opera
tons at some of our late fires. While our fremen
lave been promptly upon the ground, aud have COM
menced operations so soon as possible; while they
have worked far more zealousy than in the halcyon
DAYS of the old system, these bad men of whom we
Lave spoken have heeu hrowing obstacles in the way
Of the officers Of the law. and have been carpng at
the new system and striving by ridicule and other
means, to prejudice the minds OF ookers-on.
Let any one who doubts our statement make il
business to visit the next fire. and he will see and hear
much more than We have charged Our iremcn can
rot prevent arson; but We hope they will keep a
sharp lookout suspicious persons; and, perhaps, if

We commend to the attention Of all friends of Re.
publican principles the address from Mauini to
American Republicans, which we give entire in another
column. We are glad TO see that the reply, which
pledges to the Republicans Of Europe the sympathy
Of the people OF the United States, has received the
signatures of men of all parties. Mazzini expects
from general expression of this sympathy powerful
influence upon public opinion in Europe and he may
certainly be supposed to be a competent judge in this
matter And if he is right, if the proclamation of our
faith in republican institutions can hasten the estab-
lishment of these institutions in the Old World, why
should American Republicans hesitate to give to their
friends in Europe the support they ask for The
sympathy Of monarchcal Europe with our late Re

With a display of vigor which strong Government
sometimes delights to make against weak enemy
our Federal authorities have arrested Mr. Roberts, the
Fenian President, and Gen. Sweeney its military
leader. The term "enemy" is scarcely to be
applied to these gentlemen in any other sense
than n technical one. They are certainly
enemies to the British rule over Ireland and are Tor
this reason challenged by the Administration as enc
mics of the United States We suppose the Washing
ton opinion must be accepted if Its quixouc
theories of our duties as neutrals are also to be
accepted. Undoubtedly, if America be the ap-
pointed guardian of British interests in Canada,
we must make war the Fenans ana their
leaders If the main object at Washington
is to concate the good will of that Britain when
during the Rebellion spurned every demand from us
for fair dealing our Foreign Office is pursuing policy
well calculated for such purpose. But VIC do not
suppose Messrs. Roberts and Sweeney are any more
enemies to-day than they were month ago, nor that
the Government in possession of any information
which had not, in substance, been communicated TO
il before blow was struck. If the Fenans are guilty
now they were guilty then, and we are at loss TO
know why the nerpOsition of our Government
should not have occurred before this enter
prise had eliminated, and before that outbreak OF
hostilities which a word from President johnson
to those who consulted him might have prevented.
There certainly was no Fenian leader so mad as to
suppose that he could conquer Canada plus the
United States nor any leader who would have put his
own reputation and the lives Of his followers at
risk, if he had not believed that this Gov
eminent would confne its opposition within
the rigorous limits of the law. That Messfs Roberts
and Sweeney are under arrest to-day is only an evil
dence that they placed too much reliance on what
they were led TO suppose would be the policy Of the
Gnrnrnnnnf.

eminent works to eight per day, we do not see
what il is designed to prove. the wages be not also
reduced, we quite comprehend that the workmen will
be gratfed by the change To give more pay for less
work was never yet objected to by the receivers Of the
nav. But the rush and scramble for public employ
nent-already fearful-would be greatly intensified
BY such a changes; and the tax-consumers would be
afforded an additional advantage over the taxpayers,
who feel that they have already the worse end OF the
bargain We do not understand that it is intended to
show that as much work will be done in eight hours
as now is in ten; nor to graduate the pay by the
amount produced or effected; so we lack interest III
the experiment.

We give this morning in another column an alb
stract Of an interesting report to the Chamber OF
Commerce on the present condition and feeling of the
people of the Southern States. The author of this
report, Thomas w. Conway was formerly Assistant
Commissioner Of the Freedmen's Bureau in Louisi-
ana and has since been South on special mission Of
inquiry In both positions he had rare opportunities
for thoroughly studying the subject he treats Of His
statements are a weighty confirmation Of what all
candid observers Of Southern society have found be
the state of affairs. After the close of the war,
Southern planters began to call for the aid of
Northern capital. Northern men were ready to fur
nish to the South all the capital that needed to
recover speedily from the effect of the late war; But
the obstinate hatred of the Southeners against every
thing that comes from or is peculiar to the North has
repealed capital, continually drains the labor of the
freedmen, frightens OFF the emgrants and thus most
successfully prevents the social progress Of the
Southern States which otherwise might soon be made
to keep pace with that of the North.
Future generations in the South will be astonshed
at the folly of the leaders of Southern society in driv
Ing of industry, skilled labor and capital The pres
en generation in the North, in the mean time, can
not pay too great attention to the state Of things in
the South. The testimony Of Mr.. Conway is very
distinct and emphatic:
Il know OF some instances wherein were threatened
with murder II they did quit tbe southern neshbobood
within certain length q time, and otncrs IN which parties
treated BY people with such contempt 10 fiji them
with disgust and cause them 10 make rapid return 10 re-
gons they coad feel that to be loyal American ciii
zen instead OF attracting Indignation was something to be
proud Of"
Leading Southern statesmen like Gov. Wells and
ex-Goy Sharkey declared to Mr.. Conway that the
freedmen would not be allowed to remain in the coun-
try Mr.. Conway justly remarks that from this opinion
to the forcible expulsion Of the negroes is but
short step, and the whole Union party will ask
with him. What will become under these circum-
stances, Of the freedmen if the Central Government
should withdraw It's protection

The House, to the surprise of its own members
and Of others, voted yesterday to 90 for League
Island blindold. The substitute for the Philadelphia
bill sought no more than the appointment of a
commission for the examination Of all proposed
sites for a naval station, with view to having a
report that should embody full information on this
vexed question. But the House, under official and
other influences, voted to dispense with investi-
CATION, and to take League Island for better or
worse. We presume the subject will receive full
discussion in the Senate
