Congress early in January, passed two
important bills, one repeating the amnesty
powers of the President the other regulating
the elective franchise in the Territories. lcster-
day the Committee on Enrolled Bills reported
that the President had failed either To sign or
return the bills within the legal period allowed
him for consideration, and that they had, there
fore, by the provisions of the Constitution,
become laws. The Committee further reported
that they had not been published as laws, and
Offered a resolution that the Secretary of State
should Inform the House if the bills had been
filed in his Department. This resolution was
adopted.
In this case the President has plainly peck
ctod not only the bills but the law, and null
lifted. mt least for the time, the Constitution
itself. The Constitution declares that eff any
"bil shall not be returned by the President
within ten days Sundays excepted after it
" shall have been presented TO him, the
" same shall he a law in like manner ms
"if he had signed it," and the laws
of the United States require that in
such eases the bill shall be filed with the Secrc-
tary of State, TO be published by him rs laws.
The Chairman of the Committee on Enrolled
Bills stated. and we believe correctly, that this
was the nlNl lllSlalCt III inc history Ol lHc
Government in which the official duty
had not been performed, and the Speaker
quoted prcccdcnts showing that Mr.. buchanan,
having failed to sign or return bills within
the legal time, had officially notified Congress
that they had become laws Mr. Johnson,
therefore either from ignorance neglect, or
intention has thwartcd the intent of the Con-
stitution, and suppressed the laws of the United
States This Is not mere matter OF fOrm-and
if il were il might become II dangerous prcce-
dent il allowcd-it il very serious
violation of the spirit of the Consttu-
ton, land may possibly be present
evil Mr. Johnson in supprcssing the law re-
pcaing his amnesty powers may have taken
the further liberty of pardoning offenders in
the interim, and the suppression of the law
regulating the franchise might have had an evil
effect in the Territories. 1t is now the duty of
Congress, as soon rs il can find where these
important bills have been concealed, immc-
diatcly TO fix the date Mt which the
pocketcJ laws went into operation. There
can he no doubt of the date, but it should be
rcaffiImcd as a precedent, and for the guild
ance of future Presidents who may have, like
Mr.. johnson, such a fancy for leaving the
Constitution with the people that they forget to
keep a copy for themselves.

We print on another page letter from Mr..
D. J. MorIell, manager of the Cambria Iron
Works, and Member elect of Tho XLth Con-
grcss, showing the extent of the consumption
of Agricultural, and especially Of Western
products, by the irOn-makCrs of Pennsylvania,
with the amount which every tun Of American
made Iron contributes to the Federal Treasury,
through the consumption Of taxed products by
the iron-makers. That those who arc making
Iron would generally do something if we i'm
ported all our Iroa is true; but that they would
do anything that enabled them 10 consume one
fourth Of the Western produce, or contribute
one-fourth 80 much to the National revenue as
they now DO is most improbable, We beg our
farmers and al others to scan this exhibit
thOughtfplly. That the prosperity Of Home
Manufactures is essential TO that of Agriculture
was forcibly set forth by Gen. Jackson in 1924,
and is here most lucidly illustrated.

The Tariff bin passed the Senate last night ny
fine decisive vote Of o. to 10, all tho Democrats
present but two voting against 1t. These
voro Mcssrs. johnson aud McDougalL I'VE
congratulate the country on this result
achieved much earlier in the session
than was expected, especially us tue
Senate amendments to the bill
have been generally for the increased protec-
ton of American industry. Yesterday, III day and
evening session, it received important changes.
The duty on cast iron pipe was raised to II
cents per pound on chromate of potassia to
Al cents per pound; on files over ten
inches in length to cents per pound. After
considerable debate the duty on wooden cloths
was placed at 45 cents per pound. and 30
per cent ad valorcm. with prOportionate
increase on different grades. The draw
back on articles used in ships was
amended so as not to apply to steam vessels,
and an amendment excluding the drawback
from sailing vessels was rejected. Animals I'M
ported for breeding were placed on the free
list. A motion to reduce the duty on coffee to
cents per pound was disagreed to, and also
one to reduce the duty on printing paper to 10
per cent
The bill il not the best that might be
framed. but is, perhaps, as good as we could
hope to see passed Now let the House 90
promptly to work and do its share toward
Protection to American Industry.

The Special Commission appointed by our
State Senate to ascertain the best method OF
transporting passengers in this city, have re-
ported that immediate and large additions to
the means of travel are demanded. OF
the various plans presented to them,
they say that surface railways would
be inadequate; that elevated railways,
for various reasons, cannot be recommended,
and that q system of roads passing wholly
through blocks of houses, would involve long
delay and an expense which would require
fares too high for the public. They conclude
that new surface roads should be opened, but
that underground railways afford the only
right means of transportation. While we hope
that the Legislature will test this or some
other plan, we still prefer that of the
Metropolitan Transit Company which pro-
poses three tracks, one above the other;
the lower basement track being used for
freight, with the employment of steam {;
the second. surface track, for horse
railroad, and the third, elevated way, for swift
passenger trains drawn by stationary power
acting on an endless chain. The use of this
plan would make the employment of steam,
which the Commission believe should be re-
moved from the railways Of the island, perfect
ly safe. and we are not satisfied that the
objections to q elevated road are just.

The Freeman'S Journal (ROman Catlolc) de-
tends and applauds the expulsion of Protestant
worship from Rome, on the assumption that
she is exclusively and peculiarly Catholic city
"A great cathedral-close, as it were-and asks:
"What right have to go into the largest conyencte
of any OF the paltTy Protestant sects III thclf
disturb their w0rshpi As the Pope anu ule
Catholic rcli gon and nothing else, have kept Rome
being an unnhabited desert, the nearly trGe hnaIvu
millions Of Catholics In the world have Hght 10 cii
fnr that as hol c in ways, an exception nom
the rest Of the world "
All which may be very well or very live do
not care which-snce it adds to the demonstla-
ton that our Government has no business Tor
a Minister there and that Mr. King should be
called away. Ours is a secular government,
and has nothing to do with enthusiastically holy
cities. "Lct the dead bury their dead Rem
"der unto Caesar the things that are Caesars"
IL our Roman Catholics want representative
ut Rome, they are at perfect liberty to send
one.

INDIES.
Considering the importance Of the commercial
relations existing between the United States and
the West Indies, it is somewhat surprising that,
with the exception of Cuba we have hitherto
had no regular communication by steam with the
islands of the Caribbean Sea. All of them are
entirely dependent upon us for most OF the ne
ccssaIies of life. The flour, the meal, the pork,
the butter, the lard, consumed by their people are
all sent from the United States and we supply
the West Indians with large quantities of corn
and pulse. They are beginning, too, to appreci-
ate the value of our agricultural implements, and
our improved machinery generally, and to en-
plOy them very extensively. Household funi-
ture of American manufacture, and even "nO-
TONS Of every conceivable kind, are now III
great demand, and are to be met with alike in
the mansions Of the planters and the cottages OF
the blacks Our trade with the West Indies is
annually growing larger, and must, from the very
nature of things, continue to increase. Where
the blacks formerly cOntcnted themselves with
their native roots, they must now have wheaton
bread and the flour for this must be supplied
from our granaries Indeed, the taste OF the
people in this respect is improving rapidly, and
statistics show that since the abolition Of
Slavery in the British Antilles, the importation
of the single article Of flour has in some of
the colonies increased fully four fold. 1t is
the same with other articles demand for which
indicates progressive civilization. The time
we are persuaded, is not distant when the
United States will have IN immense trade with
the West Indies, provided the foresight and the
enterprise are not wanting to take advantage OF
the daily improving prospects which present
themselves in that quarter. And these, we are
sure, will not be wanting.
IL affords IT'S pleasure TO note the form
alton of a Mail Steam Packet Company
to run line OF steamers between New
York aud the West Indies From the
prospectus of the Company il appears that the
route Of the steamers will embrace Puerto Rico,
St. Thomas, Antigua, Martinique, st. troiN, IT.
Domingo, Jamaica, Havana, and Bermuda to
which places there is to be dispatch OF YES
sells from this port three times month The
steamers are intended to carry the mails,
freight, and passengers, and the vessels are to
be iirst-cflss iron screw steamers. We nope
the enterprise will meet encouragement, not only

They have been having a Free Trade gath
ering in Boston, as was their right Boston
used to be the headquarters Of Free Trade
principles, and may become so again. Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island, having perfected
and established their own manufactures, will
be ripe for Free Trade years before Georgia
and Missouri can afford to try that experiment.
AT the Boston gathering, says The EreHing
Post:
Professor Perrys paper Of the most mastery
expOsOns OF the limits of legislative action on ec0nOln
cal subjects that has been published IN our country
1t fully sustained the high reputation he had justly
achieved by his great work on Political Economy. The
object Of Government, according to the Professor - 10
preserve and perfect sOcieyits duty therefore, Is 10 Sc
cure The utmost limit Of iadirtid freedom compatible Ti
he preservation OF equd rights lie applied these princl-
pies to the usuTy laws TO legislative regulations OF the
hours of labor to the prObtOTy liquor laws and to the
protective tariff OF course with all the great masters OF
political science he declared these attempts to interfere
with the workings Of the social laws 70 be alike impfac
cable, mischieyOus, and unwauanted"
The EreRing Post flies into passion when
We urge that Free Trade logically involves
justification of Free Love; but scrutinize the
lines above we have placed in Italics and judge
between us. The proposition is Prof. Perry's;
the terms are The Posts. BY what right shall
the Police break up house of ill-fame If that
is sound proposition On what principle
repress gambling or sexual RIGHTEOUSNESS! II
these questions can be ciyilly answered, let us
have the answer!

The Express denounced the vote of the
Senate imposing (or retaining) a duty of ~ 80
per tun on Bituminous Coal imported, rs an
example of "the cncltics and follics of
monopoliStS," careless how much misery
/" they inilict on the multitude, if they can
feather their own nests" We thereupon
asked The Express to tell its readers just how
many and which of those Senators it terms
Democrats or Conservatives voted for and how
many against that exaction. The Express de-
clincs 70 do it. 1t withholds the material facts
from its readers, and denouncing the act of
lis own friends, makes those readers believe it
was the work Of Republicans. Such is the
habitual honesty of that unprnciplcd sheet.

The House yesterday passed the Consular and
Diplomatic Appropriation BILL without appro-
priltions for the missions TO Portugal and Rome
and with An amendment providing that after
the present fiscal year no money should
be- paid for the expenses OF the
latter mission. We are heartily rcjoiccd
that the House has thus protested against one
of the notorious and worst abuses OF our Di-
plomatic system, ana that the ministry at Rome
has been practically and permanently abolished.
