The Revision OF the Tariff.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Boston Journal, under date of Nov. 9Th.
says -
The bill and resolutions placing on the
free lit. coal. salt. coffee and tea. reached
the senate In due time and wer. referred
To the Senate Committee ON Finance,
which ha~ had them under consideration
during the past fortnight al different times.
II l. understood thar the committee will
not recommend the passage by the senate
of either If the House measures. bur Will
wait general revision Of the tariff hy that
body. IL j. not improbable that NJ. frum-
bull may induce the senate a. disregard
this recommendation. aud Ia act upon the
salt aud coal measures. but ii l. hardly 10
be expected. Pennsylvania exercises an
important influence here, aud - does the
New York Onondaga salt Company.
Other important Interests have their frrnds
ami ii they all unite ia opposition 10 a
reduction Of the tariff, but little can be-
effected beyond the transfer Of few
uulmportauf articles Ia the free list. The
action 81 the House mentioned above
would doubtless have been different had
il been Imagined that the senate would
have confirmed Il.
Whether the assertion Of the writer that
the action OF the House would have been
different II Ii had supposed that the Senate
would have confirmed IT. doings. We know
not. Probably tea and coffee would not
have been included In the list. but we APP
prehend there j. = very general desire all
over the Country, interested parties ex-
cepied. 10 place coal and salt on the free
list We certainly hope sach is the fact.
Tea and coffee must bid their time. While
we must raise a revenue by a tariff let il be
put on such articles as will not so general
ly effect the poor people. as coal and salt.
These articles we must have. but il is
optional whether we use tea and coffee

that very reason the convention woald aos
