Especial Correspondence Of the Baltimore Gazetsl
WASHINGTON, February 27.-The House this
morning Was opened by characteristic prayer
from the Rev. Mr.. BoYNToE. This presumptuous
old man is in the constant habit Of appealing to
the Deity specially to interfere in e1tricating the
House from the muddles they get into. On this
occasion he invoked Divine aid in 'thrusting
through the Tariff. On other occasions he has had
the temerity, in a roundabout way, to assure the
Divinity that he might always be sure to be right
when following the lead Of THAD STEVENS and by
sustaining the previous question if moved by that
immaculate christian and patriot.
It is stated here, with confidence, that o scheme
with extensive ramiAcations has been concocted
in the Senate by which the State Of Maryland is to
be cheated out OF any choice Of Senator for the
present. The plan seems TO be this: Governor
Swanns credentials (should he not resign) are to
be referred to the Committee on Elections, there
to sleep until the adjournment Of your Legislature,
when the acting Governor is to commission Cres-
we'll. The course Governor Swami has indicated
will checkmate this nefarious project, and it was
the only one that promised success.
Senator johnson, understand, is himself not
satisfied Of the suficiency Of the reasons assign
ed for his recent extraordinary vote. He will avail
himself Of the earliest opportunity (probably that
to be furnished BY the expected Veto to announce.
course he has adopted. His expose is .aited with
much curiosity.
I observe that the New York World and other
Northern papers are ''hesitating" as to what ad-
although they declare that the Infamous Sherman
eShellabarger- Wilson Bill should rghtfuly
be resisted BY force. Did it never enter into the
noddles Of these advisers Of the recent slavehod-
ing States that the people OF the South have toll
erably clear idea Of their duties and obligations to
themselves and Of their altered relations to the
General Government ?, They have nevertheless, in
some instances surrendered their convictions in
Difference to those Of the North whom they regarded
as friends, and tn every such case they have been
left in the !urch when the time OF trial arrived.
This has been keenly felt and the incertitude
and anxiety of the World, and such prints, as to
what advice to give, when to give it, or whether to
give any at all may very we'll be suffered to simmer
down into quiescent conclusion that advice from
such quarters, at least for the present. can be dis
pensed with, and especially If unaccompanied by
reliable assurances Of corresponding practical sup
port
The Senate to-day passed bill authorizing the
Secretary Of the Treasury TO issue Temporary
loan certificates" in the manner prescribed by act
Of February 25 1862, bearing interest at rate not
exceeding per cent, principal and interest paya
bic in slawfu money" on demand, said certificates
to constitute and be held by any national bank as
part Of tbs reserve provided for by act of June s.
1854 The bill further provides that the amount OF
these C6rClQC2GeS SQRu uCG GXceeQ Ou6
lion Of dollars and that not less than twofths Of
the entire reserve Of such bank shall consist Of laW
full money" Of the United States This bill was sub
stituted for that passed by The House few'dsys
ago, providing for the redemption Of one hundred
millions Of compound interest notes by the issue
of the like SUM in "greenbacks" bearing no inter-
est, and is the measure heretofore stated as be-
ing favored by the Secretary Of the Treasurer.
The House was engaged to-day upon the Tariff
Bill. majority are evidently in favor Of its pas
sage this session, but, think, with no probability
of success, Notwithstanding the perinacity with
which it is pressed by the Committee Of Ways end
Means The Northwestern Radicals may yet,
however, be made to acquieses in it by the appli-
cation Of the party lash, in which event this sBM
Of denominations" will be rushed through at the
heel Of the session-to the loss Of other vitality i'm
portant measures. During the discussions the
galleries we're edited by alearned running debate
upon the composition and use Of the famed sshod-
dy," by which it appearfd That it was an arrant
piece Of cheatery out-and-but. It was also shown
that there was bnt one manuiactory of Cunning"
in America-that located in Lowell, Massachusetts.
The duty proposed upon this article was acknowl-
edged by the Chairman Of the Ways and Means
Committee to be p,'ohabHiue, but, Notwithstanding
it enured exclusively to The benefit Of q single
firm, it was justified upon the ground that it was
beneath the dignity Of the nation that the stuff Of
which the national flag is made should be manu-
fant5,red anywhere but on American soil.
