The main difference between the Senate
and House in regard to the Funding bill
hinged on the desire of the former to force
the proposed new banks to take the new
bonds, drawing a comparatively low rate
of interest, but on this point the desire of
the House to place the new institutions on
the same footing as the old ones prevailed;

full authority to negotiate new national

OBITUARY..
Hon. Daniel ~. Norton.

ROD. DunteI -. norton.
This morning Senator Daniel s. Norton, of
Minnesota, died in Washington after an illness
of two or three weeks. He was born in the
village of Mount Vernon, Knox county, Ohio,
on the 18th of April, 1929, and received his edu-
cation at Kenyon College. After leaving col
lege he enlisted in the I'd Ohio Regiment, and
served for one year in the war against Mexico.
In 1848 he returned to Mount Vernon and COM
menced the study of law. Two years afterwards
he started across the plains to California and
spent considerable time on the Pacific coast, and
in Nicaragua. On his return to Ohio he resumed
the study of the law, and in 1852 he was ad-
mitted to the bar He continued the
practice of his profession in Ohio until
1855, when he removed TO Minnesota, where in
1857 he was elected to the State Senate. In
1859 he declined a reelection, but in 1860 he
was again sent to the State Senate, and in
1862 to the State House of Representatives. Ia
1868 and also in 1864 he was again reelected to
the State Senate. In 1855 he entered the United
States Senate as Senator from Minnesota, and
his term would have expired ON the 4th of
March next. He has served on the Committees
on Indian Affairs Claims, Territories, and
Patent Office. Senator Norton was a Democrat
in politics, and voted with his party on all the
partisan questions of the day. He was a man of
fair ability, but he never made any decided
mark either as an orator or q statesman upon
the floor of the Senate.

The European dispatches published this
morning contain very little reliable informa-
ton about the war situation. AS is usual on
such occasions, there is great deal of rumor
upon very small basis of fact, but the posi-
ton of affairs does not seem to be substan-
stantially changed from what yesterdays
dispatches stated it to be. One of the
most important rumors is that of the resigna-
ton of the French Cabinet. If this is true,
it probably means that the Emperor proposes
to put an end to the experiment of a respon-
sible ministry, and take the reins of power
into his own hands again. The Constitu-
t5onnel, the ministerial organ, said that the
candidature of Prince Leopold having
been withdrawn, the peace of Europe
will not be disturbed, and as nothing more
than this was demanded by France, the pa
cifc solution of the difficulty is to be rejoiced
at. If this declaration is to be considered as
indicative of the position of M. Olivier and
his coadiutors, the dissolution of the Cabinet
is not be wondered at. The Emperor means
to fight unless he can manage to bully Prus-
sia into accedn5 to his demands without
waiting passage of arms, and he hopes to
take his adversary at a disadvantage by attack
ing him before he is prepared for resistance.
On the other hand, Prussia shows no disposi-
ton to knock under, and is apparently
quite as ready to fight as France. With two
such combatants eager and ready for the fray,
it is scarcely to be hoped that a conflict will
be averted

TIE IAX-IARIFP AND FUNDING
RIMS

BoTH branches of Congress yesterday adopted
a Tax-tariff bill and Funding bill, which
now only await the signature of the President
to become laws. So many conflicts of
opinion existed in regard to these measures
that an infinite number of favorite theories
and sections had to be surrendered to secure
harmonious action; and while the bills in the
present shape are not entirely acceptable to
any one, they at the same time contain some
provisions which will command universal ap-
proval Whatever may be the omissions or
errors of the Tax-tariff bill, the fact that it
will reduce the public revenue eighty-ive
millions of dollars per annum cannot fail
to afford much-needed relief. Some
of the most oppressive forms of internal
revenue taxation will be entirely swept away,
and the abolition of taxes on sales after the
fIst day of October, and the abolition of
the stamp tax on receipts and notes under
500, will be especially popular The in
come tax is also rendered less obnoxious to
large proportion Of those who have hereto-
fore paid it by an increase of the exemp-
tion to $4,000 and house rent, and by a re-
duction of the rate to two and a half per
cent. The reduction of the duty on coffee
to three cents per pound, on tea to fifteen
cents per pound, and the reductions on sugar

fifty ministers should have ever got it into
their heads to hold a meeting for such pur-
pose, and in view of all the sin and misery
yet remaining in the world that require at
tention, it might be suggested to the above
mentioned fifty, as well as to all the other
clergymen in the country, that there are
plenty of subjects upon which to exercise
their eloquence of vastly more Importance

THE CLERGY ON DICKENS.

THE CLERGY ON DICKENS.
The majority of the clerical attempts to
make the sudden death of Charles Dickens
point moral for the benefit of living saints
and sinners have, we are sorry to say for the
credit of the cloth, been anything but sue
cessful In our humble opinion, the subject
is not one for pulpit discussion, but if the
character of the deceased novelist is to be
reviewed by Jealous clergymen hard up for
something to talk about there might be a
mean found between unstinted eulogy and
vulgar abuse. The last, we are sorry to say,
has been the Characteristic of great many
of the sermons on the subject of Mr. Dickens
life, character, and works, and men who
profess to believe the scripture that declares
charity to be the greatest of all the virtues,
have been eager to assert that the novelist
was no Christian, because he did not ex-
pressly declare his belief in Christ in his
writings; that he was a drunkard, and that
his death was the immediate result of his love
for strong drink, because he did not advo-
cate and practise total abstinence doctrines;
and various other charges of like character
that do no credit to those who prefer them.
The latest and most curious development of
the excitement among the clergy with regard
to Mr.. Dickens was a meeting of about fifty
Baptist ministers in Boston on Monday to consi-
der the proprietyof discussing his character
from the pulpit. After full interchange of
opinion the fifty pursued the wisest possible
course under the circumstances by adopting
a resolution declaring that no special express
sions of opinion were called for. Distin-
terested outsiders, however, will wonder how
