| We announce with hearty satisfaction the
passage yesterday by the Senate OF the
| Copper Tariff bill over Andrew JOhnson's
veto, by the decisive majority of 3S Yeas to
| 12 Nays-more than three to one. The bill,
having passed either House by more than
| two-tbirds in the affirmative, is now a law of
the land 1t raises the duty payable on
Copper Ores imported from five per cent. to
three cents per pound for the pure Copper
contained therein. which is about fifteen per
cent. ad valorem-much less than it would
pay under horizontal or Revenue Tariff
Copper in bars or ingots is charged somewhat
higher and manufactures of Copper still
higher-45 per cent. ad valOrem-which is not
more than it would pay under non-discrimi-
mating Tariff, looking to Revenue alone. The
Copper imported under this act will pay less
than thirty per cent. in the average--we think
not more than twenty-five per cent. Yet The
EUening Post raves after this reckless fashion:
The Copper Tariff bill, before Congress- has been
fully exposed in the press aud there for hes

This is a mere rehash of The Posts sour
rilous defamation of the Tariff of 1923, as also
that Of 1912. In either case, The Post asserted
that our Commerce would be destroyed and
our Revenue dried up by the act; but the result
rendered prophet and prophesy alike ridicu-
lous SO it will be again. We dare The Post
to reprint the above paragraph year hence,
and compare its present predictions with the
results that shall meantime be developed.

Y. NJ. G. A.-The meeting at the
rooms of the Young Mems Christian
Association last night was largely at.
tended. Every available inch of space
inside the hall was occupied, and quite
number were compelled to remain in
the Office adjoining. a large proper
ton of the audience was made up OF
ladies, The crowd was the largest we
have ever seen in the rooms of the AS
ISOLATION, and we think we are safe In
saving that an increased interest in this
organization is developing itself among
our people.
After the usual opening devotional
exercises the audience was addressed
by Rev. C. G. Currie, Rector OF st.
Matthews Church. 1t was not our
pleasure to hear any but the closing
remarks of the Reverend gentleman,
but we were informed by one VINO
heard him throughout, that the address
was able, eloquent and appropriate,
ully sustaining Mr.. Currle's reputation
as a pulpit orator. Announcement
was made by Mr.. Simpson, President,
at the close Of the lecture, that Rev. r.
v. Dodge would deliver an address
before the Association on the second
Monday evening in April,
The exercises closed with prayer by
Rev, Mr.. Mofat, and the benedictiou by
Rev. Mr.. Dodge.

MANY years ago the writer of this
notice and an invalid physician, while
visiting the Island of st. Croix for their
health, experienced and witnessed
many surprising and beneficial effects
of the Rum there produced upon many
OF the invalids who were, like our
selves, seeking health, and upon in
quiry and investigation, obtained full
history of its medicinal virtues. He
was delighted and surprised, and de-
termined to make it the basis Of a Tonic
and Restorative Medicine. The result
of his labors was a glorious success for
himself and suffering humanity. The
celebrated PLANTATION BrrTERs was
thus made known to the world. Being
an article of real merit, founded on
new principles, and relying wholly
upon the vegetable kingdom for It's
medicinal effects, it worked a rapid
revolution in the treatment of physical
debility.

COURT HOUSE BURNED.-By last
communication from a responsible gen.
tleman. We condole with our friend
Klauser, of the Jour nal, in the severe
loss he has sustained. We are con-
versant to some extent with the diff
culties he has had to contend in estab-
fishing his paper, and to have the labor
of years thus swept away in an hour,
is no ordinary calamity. We trust his
friends in Preston and elsewhere will
stand by him and come promptly to
his assistance in re.establishing the
paper. Among all our country ex.
changes 1t was one of the very best.
KINawooD, W. VA, March 9, 1869.
To the Editor Of the Intelligencer:
The citizens of Preston have suffered
the loss of their Court House, with the
Clerk and Recorders Offices, and the
accumulated records of nearly half q
century, which we're destroyed by fire
yesterday morning at O'Clock. The
building was nearly new, having been
built but few years ago. and was one
of the finest in the State. It was In
sured, however, for IS, 600: $4,000 in the
National of your city, and s. 900 in the
Home, OF Columbus, Ohio. The regu.
lar spring term of the Circuit Court
would have commenced to-day. The
Journal was published in the build
ing, and all its materials were
consumed. The printing establish
ment was partly covered by in
surance-only to the amount of 5000
l believe-in the "Home," Columbus
Company. Mr.. Klauser, the. persever'
ing editor, is not discouraged however
and says he will have the journal
out in an entirely mea0 dress in few
weeks.
There are of course many surmise'
as to the cause of the fire, but nothing
definite has been ascertained. No othe
buildings were destroyed.

POLICE CoURT.-There was u large
crowd at the police court room yester-
day morning. When we entered and
saw the large number in attendance
we did not know but some one was
about to be tried for some terrible
crime. 1t did not prove to be the case,
however, as the result showed only
two or three disorderlies.
Samuel Speidel was first called and
after hearing the evidence, His Honor
imposed fine of ten dollars and costs.
John Craig, was next brought up,
and it wss shown that he had taken a
hand in the general melee in North
Wheeling two or three weeks since.
The fact that the disturbance occurred
on Sunday morning gave it additional
heinousness, as was justly remarked
by Judge Good. Several others OF the
party had been previously arrested and
fined five dollars and costs, and to
avoid Partially, and because Craig
richly deserved it, a like sum was i'm
posed on him.
John Haley was tried for disturbing
the peace of the dWellers on the Island,
last Saturday evening. officer Richard
son arrested him and was the only wit
ness examined against him. His tes-
timony, however, was direct, but as
Haley's was not a bad case of the class,
he was let off with a dollar and costs.
We believe this is Officer Richardson's
first appearance in tho police court
room since assuming his duties, with
an adult prisoner. 1t is so seldom that
a case is tried before that tribunal from
the Island that we deem it worthy OF
note. We don't believe there Is more
orderly community anywhere. We
cannot now call up but the trial of two
or three little boys from the Seventh
Ward since the LIST of JanuarY-and
they were nabbed through the vigilance
of ON Ger Richardson.
