SENATOR Morrill's long expected
sneeeh on the Tariff question was
delivered in the Senate on Nom
day. lie argued that the Gov
eminent was fast approaching a
when direct taxation
could be dispensed with. HIS
speech throughout was strongly
in favor of u Tariff for Protection,
and was an exhaustive exposition
of that system rs arrayed against
Free Trade. 1t was read from
printed proof slips and occupied
two and u half hours in the DENY
cry.
The Senate Military Committee
have decided to report adversely
ON the House resolution requiring
the War Department to inter the
remains of the late General Raw
Inns, which are now in q vault here
The delay in the interment does
not seem to be understood, and
considerable Unsatisfactory com
ment is INDUCED III respecting it.
There are no new or important
revelations coming from the State
Department concerning our For
eign Relations. Minister Sickles
reports that affairs III Spain are
comparatively quiet, and that q
feeling Of more general Satlsfac-
ton with the authorities prevails
at Madrid. Nothing has been
done recently respecting the Ala
bama claims. Some correspond
ence has passed with regard to
Imprisoned Fenians, but the ma
ture of the same has not been
made public. General instructions
are being prepared for Mi. Wing,
our new Minister to Ecuador, WHO
sails on the Goth instant.
In q comparative statement OF
the Internal Revenue returns OF
nine months of the fiscal year as
compared with the same period OF
the last fiscal year, it appears that
there has been a gain of twenty
millions of dollars. Ofthis amount
there has been an increase OF forty,
one per cent. on tobacco and
twenty.siX per cent. on spirits.
The four days session Of the
American Medical Association
closed without seeming either tC
promote the general welfare of the
profession, or win fresh laurelS
from n discriminating world. The
proceedings throughout we're 81
generally characterized by c0niu
: sion and indecorous personality
|, that the benefits otherwise to have
+ been impaired by the convention
3 were improvidently lost. The va
rious ''isms' and "'patlies" wett
discussed in II spirit more com
mendable for its zeal than its wis
dom.
