SHARP DEBATE IN THE House ON TIE
TARIFF Bull In the House of Repres-
enmtives on Saturday, there was a lively
debate on a proposition of Mr. Judd to
lay aside the tariff bill and take up Mr.
Judd brief substitute simply reducing
duties somewhat The dispatch says:
In reply to the argument of Mr. Judd
that the consideration of the tariff bill
was a mere waste of time, Mr.. SChenck
charged that there was preconcertcd eff
fort upon the part Of Judd and his friends
to defeat all attempts by the Ways and
Means Committee to reduce the taxes -
He said if the tariff bill was killed, its
eptaph would be "NibbleG to death by
| pismires This was uttered in such a
bitter tone that it aroused the indignation
Of Mr. Logan and several others who
have been opposing the tariff bill, Mr.
Logan replied in spirited manner to
Mr.. Schenck, when the latter retorted
that il the term did not suit the gentle
man he would modify it so as to read

A SOMEWHAT curious case of eccleslas-
teal discipline has just occurred in New
York. The Rev, G. b. Smyth, the cler'
pyman, we believe, who advertised the
@Black Crook" by denouncing it from his
pulpit, was tried on the triple charge OF
of drinking ginsling, breaking the Sab
bath and not saying grace at restaurant
lunch table, most unheard OF oifenses,
especially the latter.
1t appears that couple of reporters
heard him preach on the 10th ultlmo,
and at the close OF, the services asked
him for a copy of the discourse for pub
LEGATION. Not being a very good penman
he proposed that his son should accom-
pany them and help in deciphering his
hieroglyphics. This would seem to be a
yery sensible arrangement, but the in>
quisition, or presbytery, thought it would
be violation of the Hebrew law in re-
gard to the seventh day Of the week
albeit the work" was done on the first
dnv of the week.
Having conformed to Christ rather
than to Moses in Sabbatical observance
he was Judged guilty of disciplinary
transgression. AS for not saying grace
in a restaurant that was in accordance
with the principle laid down in the d.
vine protest against praying IN pubic
aces street corners and the like. But
those who place the Hebrew Lawgiver
above the Christian Teacher and Mar
tyr, very naturally sympathize with the
ancient pharisee in this respect
The first and chief charge was based
Of course, upon the gospel OF total aD'
stinance. Had the ecclesiastical cour
before which brother Smyth was cited
been in existence eighteen hundred years
ago, at Cana, the Master would have
been taken to task for furnishing wine
at certain memorable marriage feast
and that too, when the guests had pref
ty liberal supply, Mr. Smyth was very
much exhausted, and pleaded medica
necessity but he had rund counter t
tho temperance sentiment that haC
sprung up during the present cen
tury and nothing but humble PIE, ;
big piece at that, saved his head. The
man was 10th to admit any sin. III
evidently felt no compunctions, but there
was the inquisition, with all its cunning
instruments of torture, and, like the ven
cradle Calico, he finally recanted, pre-
ferring humiliation to decapltation. All
doubtless, believed that his pecart was I
sham, but the extorton of a lie from {
brother clergyman seems to have beer
deemed full satisfaction for outraged
canon law. And thus ended what il
known as the gin-and milk trial.

The vote of the City Of Paris agai INST
the SenatHs Consuttum on the new con-
stitution, will form a standing menance
against the empire and the succession OF
the Prince Imperial If there be any
truth, ms there is much, in the saying
that paris is France" a majority OF
$4,000 against the emperor's policy and
against the pcrpetuity of his dynasty, is
an overwh Ginning proof that the brain
and heart of France are against him. 1t
is of little moral weight that this policy
is overridden by the rural districts, tho
army and the priesthood. In view of the
degree of coercion by which the result
is obtained, the majority Of 1000 against
him in the city of Paris has more moral
weight than the vote of five millions in
his favor from the clowns of the rural
districts. The fact that the cities OF
Lyons Marseilles, Toulon and Bordeaux
also return mWorities against him is
very portentious, These votes show that
he still reigns through the army and the
peasantry, and in defiance of the mer-
camille and educated class Of the people
1t is a significant fact that, even in the
army, the more intelligent regiments di'
yided near equally. AT the Eugene Bar
racks, the soldiers voted ! ,652 yes, and
| ,l2l no. We doubt if the ,pIe6iscitum
resulting in so large an adverse vote can
be regarded as strengthening the chances
of his son succession On the contrary
it has revealed to the enemy theil
| strength.

THE FRAMING PRlylLEGE The bill
abolishing Size franking privilege is still
pending in the Senate Senator Sherman
and one or two others have offered amend
mcnts, and the probability is that number
of these amendments will be adopted. -
The free circulation of newspapers with
in the county where published is almost
certain to be provided for in any bill that
gets through the Senate 10 is alleged
that the members of the House are in
ceused against the newspapers, and
many of them acknowledge thatin voting
for the bill which passed the House, and
which cuts off all free circulation to news
papers they were not influenced by their
honest convictions on the subject, but
allowed themselves to be driven into that
course, Newspapers are very uncoWtor
table things for delinquent gentlemen in
Congress or elsewhere, and we are not
surprised that they have spite against
them.

The Senate, on the 9th, in committee Of
the whole, adopted an amendment to the
legislative, judicial and executive appro-
priation bill disseminating the publication
of the laws of Congress in newspapers
Anthony stated that it cost the govern
ment 100000 year, and he thought it
waste Of money Morton thought that
the publication should rather be extended
to one paper in every congressional dis
trict than cut of, and we think he is right !;
Tor if it is necessary to pass laws, 1t Is
necessary to have the people understand
what they are. AS it is now it is hers

synopsis of each law printed instead
Of the whole law, and this would reduce
