The Tariff.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 1867.

AeuiNGIoN, reo. 90, 1901.
M. Morrill, to. day made an earnest effort
to get .he House to send the Tariff bill to a
conference committee but the moment he
announced his purpose twenty members rose
to ask questions and defeat any such sum
mary process of settling the question. All
members who have had any experience in
conference committees known what lotteries
they are, and SO this motion was looked upon
with suspicion ard distrust by every one
who had some special interest to guard.
Governor Thomas and Mr.. Glenni Scofield,
always on the alert for any raids upon the
bituminous coal interests, in which their
districts are so largely interested, promptly
announced their intention to oppose such
reference unless it was agreed that the duty
on coal which both bodies had agreed to,
at one dollar and half per ton, should
remain at that figure.
Mr.. Morrill, would not agree to that, and
several New England men at once interpos-
ed and threatened 10 vote against IL If il was
agreed TO by Mr.. Morrill,, SO he was compell-
ed to ask for q committee of conference
without any restrictions, and according to
the ruling OF Speaker Colfax such commit

self heard over the House in his announce.
mcnt that If this motion failed the bill was
lost for this session, as there would not be
time to consider the difference in the House.
The noise and confusion was so great that
the Speaker kept continually rapping for
order, and finally the roll was called, show
ing SO nays and 81 yeas. Lost by major.
ity vote, although it would have required
a two.third vote to suspend the rules and
make such reference.
Considerable caucusing was going on oil
the afternoon to try and conciliate some Of
the conflicting interests, especially the coal
salt, leather and stone, with an intention oi
making an effort tomorrow, after, one
amendment is'made in Committee of the
Whole, to ask to report the bill to the House
and then ask for conference committee
A majority cun do this, but the prospect il
very faint for securing that majority. Should
however, it get to the committee, 1t is no,
at all certain that they can agree to such Q
report as would be acceptable to both houses

THE ELECTION IN GEORGE.
TOWN, ID. e..
A Radical Mayor Chosen.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-An election took
place to-day in Georgetown for Mayor and
Common Council, 1t being the first election
colored vote is counted. The registry show
ed 97l negroes and 1850 white. A detail
OF las men for duty was made, including
the police force of the town and the mount
ed force, in order to preserve the peace.
At nine o'clock the polls of voters, with
out the distinction of color, commenced
The votes of several coloIed men were re-
jected because they could not be identified,
and few on the ground of minority. This
action of the judge of election delayed the
colored voters somewhat, rec, uiring them to
make an oath to their identity and age
Great exertions were made by each party
to bring voters to the polls. ...
During the entire day there was less
drunkenness and disorderly conduct than
usual upon the streets, though from an early
hour the streets and corners in the vicinity
of the polls were occupied by groups OF
citizens without distinction of color, who
were evidently deeply interested in the re-
suit of the election. The restaurants and
tippling houses were closed all day, and the
metropolitan police continually pstrolling
the town. H.I

FROM MARYLAND.

GOV. SWAMI REFUSES TO REsIGN-DIsAP-
PolNTMENT OF LIEUT.. GOV. cox-ExCITE.
MENT IN ANNAPOLIS AND BALTIMORE.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 26.-There was great
disappointment at Annapolis to-day in con-
sequence of Gov. Swann's refusal to resign
the Gubernatorial chair, obedient to his
previous announcement. An immense throng
OF persons from Baltimore and elsewhere
were present to participate in Gov. Cox's
Inauguration, many of them his personal and
political friends. The time for the inaugura-
ton ceremonies had nearly arrived Gov.
Cox bad his inaugural address all prepared,
and the people were gathering to hear him
pronounce it.
He expected, in brief hour more, to be
Governor, and in possession of the States
great seal, gracefully handed over 10y his pre-
decessor; but how annoying his disappoint-
ment, when informed by special note from
Governor Swami, that he had concluded to
hold on, and give the important step matu-
rer deliberation, and communicate said fact
to the Legislature. The intelligence came
like thunder'clap, and spread like wildfire,
causing intense excitement and wondermcnt.
Rumor was soon busy, however, regarding
the cause. Some asserted there was q mis-
understanding between the outgoing and in
coming func,ionarics that Cox had design
ed Withdrawing all Swann's nominations
who are still unconfirmed, and appointing
Others of his own choice; also, that Cox
was giving signs of going over to the Rail-
Gals, and that the Democratic members and
Conservatives, who are Swann's friends,
demand of him not to resign until their
friends nominated to office were confirmed
and made secure beyond all contingency.
The dissatisfied members also threaten to
defeat certain important measures if Swami
resigned before their wishes were granted.
The most ostensible reason, however, is the
fact that Governor Swami, when in Wash
ington last Saturday, was very clearly in
formed that great doubt still existed of his
being able to retain his seat as United States
Senator. In this event, Governor Cox might
! appoint Mr.. Cresswel, or some speciel friend
OF his own, to fill the vacancy, or that the
Legislature might elect some straight out
Democrat
1t is surmised certain pledges are to be
exacted and contingencies averted, so as to
| render Mr.. Swann's seat secure in the United
States Senate otherwise he will hold on to
the Goyernorship and let Governor Cox's in,
augural address, now in type, remain fol
some far distant OCCASION The chances are
three to one that Mr.. Swami will not resign
at all, or if so, not until the last hour, when
| he will make his communication promised
| in his note to-day, to the General Assembly
or Senate. The affair causes great excite.
ment here.

Business prospects in Philadelphia are
not iattering, and business men do not col.
culate making much, if any, money. This
opinion is prevalent and universal among
all classes. Ye. the spirit of improvement
is not dead. Houses are in great demand,
and rents necessarily very high. 1t would
be, perhaps, difficult to assign proper OF
sufficient cause for this apparent discrepan-
cy. After one of the most tremendous and
expensive struggles in warfare the world
ever knew, it should not be surprising that
depression should naturally follow, and
the wonder is that it is not greater, and
did not come sooner
IL you ask business men the cause of the
present stagnation they merely attribute it to
the uncertainty in regard to the action of
Congress on some bills, now before that boGy,
which are of vital Importance to the com
mercial community, and business men gene
rally. .a.
The hotels in this city, though not crowd
ed at present, are, nevertheless, doing well.
This is the case at least among the leading
hotels, and the Bingham House is among
that class. For excellent accommodations,
quiet and comfort, it stands second to no
hotel in this city. Being well kept and en-
tirely new, with all the modern improve
ments, it ranks as first class hotel
The Tariff bill before Congress is of the
greatest Importance to our industrial in
terests, but our interests are so diversified
und sometimes conflicting, that it is difficult
to reconcile these differences. The Currency
bill, which hangs in Congress like an in
cuhus, is perhaps the greatest disturbing
element that now cripples the industrial
interests of the country. The Secretary OF
the Treasury is determined on contracting
the volume of currency, in order to bring
about a resumption of specie payments
while Congress, on the other hand, though
not in favor of expanding the currency, is
nevertheless, opposed to its contraction.
Most of these bills WILL no doubt, 5e dc
cided upon before the expiration of the 30tf

and as the 40th Congress assemblies on the

business will he taken up and determined
One of the exciting questions of the city

tB LOTTERIES AND GIFT ENTERPRISES
A bill was introduced in the Legislature,
last week, to correct the evil of dealing in
lottery policies and to put an end to gift en-
terprise schemes. The people have suffered
from these frauds, and desire protection
therefrom. The schemes known as gift en-
terprises afford dishonest parties many op-
portunities to rob the people. 1t is fact
that more money has been wasted in year
by the people of Pennsylvania in gambling
in this manner, than would have supported
the pnblic schools in many districts. The
swindle has become so popular as to 6e
resorted to by parties engaged in seemingly
proper projects. This, of course, adds to
the influence OF the evil. When lotteries
are openly encouraged in fairs for church
purposes, outside bGrbarians consider that
they have moral right to resort to the
same schemes to fill their pockets. ..
II the Legislature can pass a stringent
law to reform this evil great good will be
accomplished. The class of men who are
robbed by these gift enterprises and lottery
policies are generally in condition render
ing them lily able to stand their losses
Some stern action on the part Of the Legis.
lature should be taken to put stop to .hese
lotteries.
