ReSolred, That the power granted in
the Federal Constitution to levy and
collect taxes, duties Oh imports and ex-
clses to pay tho debts and provide for
the common defense and general well
fare of the UHited States, does not in
clude or embrace any power to levy
duties for any purpose other than the
collection Of revenue for such purpose
therein indicated; and that tariff
levied for any purpose other than reve-
nue., ard especially one levied to foster
and enrich one section of our country
at the expense of another, or to foster
and enrich one class of citizens at the
expense of otheIs, is unauthorized by
the Constitution, unjust 10 the great
body of the American people and In its
results Injurious eventually to nearly
every individual interest of the country.
ResOlrfd, That in the preparation of
tie bill for the modification of existing
tariff laws, Congress should contine its
action strictly to the preparation of the
tariff for revenue exclusively, and that
the duties duties on no article should be
greater than that which would give a
maximum of revenue on suchearticies.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
New York Money Market.

NEW YORK, February z.
The Supreme Court decision on the
legal tender uestion was the great SUBJ
iect of discussion in financial circles
this afternoon. The decision, as under
stood in Wall street, is that the legal
tender act was justified by war but that
Congress had no power to issue any
more legal tender notes, and that all
contracts made before 1862 are to be
paid in coin. In this shape the decision
is certainly very important one, but
its influence on values was remarkably
slight. The decision makes some hun,
dreds of millions of railroad bonds ana
an immense aggregate of State and city
bonds payable in coin, both principal
and interest, the interest Of which 1or
eight years has been paid in greenbacks'
The payment of interest on principals
since 1862 having been accepted by
creditors. will not be affected by the de-
cisiou, except where money has been ac
cepted under protest accompanied with
a demand for gold, which cases are, OF
course, very exceptional. IL IS perhaps
not improbable that some of the poorer
States with heavy debts, as North Car
DINA aud Tennessee, being unable to
provide for their debt even On a cur
rency basis, may be driven by this de-
cision into open Reputation, pleading
the act of the Supreme Court as impos
ing on them obligations which they
could not honor. The price of gold ad
vapced in the morning on a private tel
egram from Washington to the ettec'
that the decision wOuId be in favor o.
all contracts made before 1862, being
payable in coin, but when the Other
part of the decision was known TIL!
afternoon the price of gold declined
from the fact that Congress, under The
decision, cannot issue any mole iesa
tenders.

call loans and 7a8 per cent for prime
| business notes.

HAVANA, February T. Yesterday
morning about II o'clock few Ameri-
cans-Isaac Greenwich, Henry K. Eos
ter, Hugh johnson, and Gardner Wells
all of New York, were on their way
to photograph gallery to have their
pictures taken. They all were blue
neck ties. Near Talon theatre they were
stopped by man, Who pointed to their
neck. ties and addressed the men in an
excited manner in Spanish. None OF
the party understanding the language
no answer was returned. The unknown
man then took ont q revolver and hred
upon them. Greenwell was shot and
killed, and Foster and johnson
were severely wounded. The latter are
in a precarious condition. Wells was
uuhurt, and ran for his life. The man
who fred the shots disappeared imme-
diately, and is unknown. The indigua-
ton of the Captain General at the out
rage is very great. He has called on all
the leading officers of the law to use
every means to discover the perpetrator
and abettors of the deed. The people Of

ernor has placed the entire police force
in motion.

WASHINGTON, February 4.
SENATE.

Mr.. Morton presented resolution
Of the Georgia Legislature accepting
the conditions recently imposed by
Congress, by changing tie State con-
stltution, and also ratifying the 14th
and 18th amendments.
On motion of Mr.. Trumbull, the Sen.
ate took up the bill 10 relieve from i'm
portunity and to preserve the indepen-
dence of the several departments OF the
Government.
He explained that the bill originally
prohibited recommendations to office
by members of Congress unless in writ
ing, and at the request of the appoint
ing power. The Judiciary committee
believing this restriction would be
evaded by members throwing them
selves in the way of being asked to
make recommendations, aud that the
abuses complained of would not be cor
rected had attempted TO make the bill
moro effective by prohibiting recon-
mendations entirely.
Mr.. Pomeroy said the bill would pre-
vent member from stating his opinion
even when requested 80 to do by the
Executive, in regard to the character
and fitness of an applicant.
Mr.. SC hurz believed reform in civil
service desirable, but it should lie upon
better basis than that proposed tor the
effect, this bill would be merely TO trans
fer the right to make o recommends
ton to office from the higher TO the low
er class of politicians, to be a greater
ipinry to the pablo interest.
Mr. Howard recognized the extent OF
existing abuses. bnt considered the bill
of 100 sweeping character.
The morning hour expiring the bi /
was laid aside in order to proceed with
the census bill.
The House bill was read at length and
| also the amendment of the Senate Com
mittee. simply directing the Secretary
of the Interior to SO change the sched-
ule and blanks to be used in enumera-
ting tue inhabitants of the United
States in 1870, as to make the same con.
| form TO the Constitution of the United
States.
Mr.. CoDkling advocated at length
the proposed substitute reported by the
Senate committee TO take the census
under the act of 1850.
Mr. Sumner followed in support of
the House bill.
At $3.50 Il message was received from
the House announcing the death OF
Representative Hoag, of Ohio.
After short addresses by Messrs.
Thurman and Sherman, and the adop.
ton of resolutions Of respect for the
