Possibly, some of them may be; but nothing

Every one admits that our Imports are too
large in proportion to our EXports-that as
people, we overspend our income. All say that
we should export more or import less, or both.
Mr. Wells has no doubt on this point.
Now, if we reduce the duties on Tea, Cot-
fee, &C., &C., one of these two consequences are
inevitable: Either we shall import more OF
these articles. and thus increase the already
heavy balance of trade against US, or we shall
collect less revenue from Imports. Reduce the
present rates Of duty one half, and we must
double our Imports or diminish our Revenue.

nothing to do with Protection. 1t is purelya ques-

Protective, and are to be raised or reduced as
we shall consider Protection right or wrong.
But Duties Of the other class rest on different
grounds, and arc to be upheld or diminished
with almost exclusive reference to the needs
of the Treasury. We counsel those who in

wishing the end, to deprive the Government Of

House, where the Congressional Committee
hold their sitting, and arrested, as it is
believed, without warrant, several OF the
witnesses summoned before the Committee.
The persons thus arrested were soon afterward
released, as no charges had been preferred
against them. 1t is said that these arrests were
made at the instgaton of prominent Demo
Gratis and it is even intimated-although this
we are reluctant to bclieve-that one Of the
Democratic members of the Committee indi-
Gated the persons who were to be arrested.
That the Democratic Ring of this city should
be desperately anxious to intimidate the wit
nesses called before the Committee, is more
than probable for it is understood that the
investigation is intended to be thorough one
and to expose and trace to their source the
frauds by which the vote of this State was trans
ferred from Grant Colfax and Griswold, to Sey-
mour, Blair and Hoffman. But that they should
thus insult the authority of Congress by arrest
ing, imprisoning, and outraging persons sum-
m0ned by its mandate, and attending under Its
protection, is an act of insOlent temerlty which
could hardly have been anticipated, and which
strikingly exhibits their terror at the forth
coming developments.
If Sheriff 0'Brien were allowed with impu-
nifty to arrest, insult, and imprison the wit
nesses that may be summoned, and who may
testify the truth, and no protection were al
fortled them by Congress, of course the lnves-
tigation would prove n farce and II failure.

TARIFF REVISION.

Since it is conceded on all hands that re-
vision of the present Tariff is desirable, we
think the House decided unwisely that the
bill should be kept in Committee of the
Whole, instead of going back to the Ways and
Means. The latter Committee might make In
one day notifications that would command
general assent, yet which would consume many
days in Committee of the Whole:
Let us endeavor to make palmer an impor-
tant distinction too generally ignored:
The Duties on Imports are levied for Rev
enue, though some of them incidentally pro-
tect important branches of our Home Industry
from overthrow by foreign competitor. (The
first Tariff ever framed under the Federal
Constitution expressly declared that it was in
tended 10 provide for the support of the Gov
eminent, the payment of the Public Debt, and
the Protection of Domestic Manufactures
But two-thiids of the $l60,OO0,0O0 per annum
now levied upon Imports have no relation
whatever TO Protection. Such are the amounts
received from Duties on Sugar, Tea, Coffee,
Spices Silks, Tropical Fruits, &C., sc. True,
it may be said that the Sugar duty does protect
tho Sugar industry Of the lower parishes Of
Louisiana, while it may somewhat stimulate
the production of Maple Sugar and of Sorghum
Strip; but the duty on Sugar was imposed
mainly, If not wholly, because of the money it
would bring into the Treasury.
The inIposts levied on the articles above
named are high, because the Treasury must be
filled. The receipts at our Custom-Houses are
very nearly absorbed by payments of interest
on the National Debt, and whatever portion of
those receipts are not needed to pay interest
ought to be devoted to the reduction of the
principal We can collect from Liquors, To-
bacco, Incomes, and kother Internal sources,
enough to defray the current cost of the Gov
ernment and should appropriate every dollar
of the Custom-House receipts to the National
Debt.
Let it DO distinctly comprehendcd that more
than Ono Hundred Millions Give ighths) of
our duties upon Imports arc levied upon arti-

QUE q. S. TOR.

Congress has done admirably in prescribing
that elections for United States Senators shall
take place on the second Tuesday after the
meeting of the Legislatures respectively which
are required to choose them; but it would
have done still better had it directed that
such elections be held just one week after the
day of meeting aforesaid. Formerly, our Legis-
lature wasted n month on the choice of a
Senator; since the act of Congress, but two
weeks are lost; under such modification as
we have suggested, the loss would be re-
duced to single week.
We had hoped that a Senator might this
time be chosen from our State without an I'M
seemly and Improbable wrangle IN the news
papers But this is not permitted. The Com
mcrcial AdrertiSer opened the ball with most
scurrilOus diatribo against Gov. FentOn, which,
though its source is of no account, was blown
into consequence by being eagerly copied into
the Copperhead and Conservative journals.
Thenceforth, it was impossible to prevent an
animated and somewhat acrimonious public dis
cusson. If this be deemed unfortunate, the
blame justly rests on those who provoked and
commenced it.
1t was our earnest desire 10 prevent, or at
Ill events 10 Keep out Vi, tnis uir'us'loH' NV
only have we hitherto said nothing publicly,
but we forbore until the Legislature had met,
to express privately any preference in the pre-
misses. And now, we shall not be tempted,
even in retaliation to say word in disparage-
ment of any good Republican, whether n can
didato or not. We want peace and harmony,
and shall do nothing to mar their enjoyment
by others. Let each freely express his prefer
ence; let tho majority decide and let those
who are overcome chcerfully acduiesce.
Among those now supported for Senator, we
prefer MARSHALL o. ROBERTS, who headed the
Republican Electoral Ticket in our late can
vass, and received more than Ten Thousand
majority of the legal votes of our State, but
was swindled out of the return by Wholesale
frauds in Naturalization, and i'll voting the
same men over and over. We do not urge Mr..
Roberts as ADLER or worthier than his COM
petitCrs, but as an eminent and lOnored mer-
chant who has been a Jealous active, efficient
Republican from the outset, and, while doing
his utmost for the cause has never yet held
an Office He was fairly chosen Mayor i'll 1865,
but counted out by the TammaDy swindlers.
In 1863 he was chosen First Elector for Grant
and COlfax, but again cheated ont of the return.
As We anticipate no fraud in the choice of n
Senator, we cherish strong hopes of his cleo
ton on Tuesday week.

Though the dead are soon forgotten, we trust
there are still many friends of the late Gen.
Charles G. Halpine who will hear with a
melancholy satisfaction that the income of the
Registers Office, which, through the interven-
ton of Gems. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, and
other friends, was secured to his widow and
orphans. has amounted to fully $4,000; all of
which has Injured directly to their benefit
Gen. Patrick II. Jones, who received the Office
from Gov. Fenton, declining to accept any
fraction of the proceeds. This amount, added
to what was left by Gen. Halpine, mainly in
the form of house but partially paid for,
secures to the widow and her six minor children
(only two of them boys, and they the fourth
and sixth in years. the means of keeping the
wolf from the door. We are sure that thou
sands who never met Gen. Halpine, with all
who personally know him, will hear this with
pleasure.
