this morning by Attorney General Williams,
their mission will be futile. as the General Gov

: NEINIsHED DISINESS,


The bill to charter tic New York, Nor
folk AMI Charleston Railroad Company,
the unfinished business Of yesterday, was
resumed, the question being on the pas
sage the bill on its third reading.
Mr. Durham said he had no objection
to the road but he did seriously object 10
bill in the following particulars, to-wit: In
that it gives the powers of appointing CON-
missions on the right of way to the Gov
ernor, wholly ignoring the owner Of the
land in ssch selections; that it gives The
company unlimited power to decrease or
increrse its capital stock; and that it au-
thoriZes the corporation to change its cor
porate name at any time. Without the
cure of these defects he would vote against
tie bill.
Mr. Morehead, Of Rockingham, fully con-
clr.ed with Mr. Durham, AMI offered a
series CT amendments to cover them-de-
priving the government Of the proposed
appointing power; prohibiting The company
from reducing its capital stock and limit
ing the increase Of the capital stock to
100000 shares Of 500 each, and forbid
ding a change of corporate name. lie also
moved to amend by fixing the maximum
rates Of freight at six cents per ton and Of
passenger rates at six cents per mile
Mr.. Chamberlain announced the willing
ness of the friends of the bill to accept all
these amendments. They were according
ly incorporated i'll the bill
Thus amended, the bill passed It's third
reading by vote of 43 to l, and was trans
mltted to the House.

On motion Of Mr.. Troy, the rules were
suspended, aud the Till to revive and con-
tinue IN force h. charter of the FAY etc
vile and Florence Railroad Company pass
cd its second and third readings.
PUBLIC PRINTING.
Mr.. Ellis, Of CataW ba, presented the n =
port of the committee on printing, giving
their reasons for recommending the increase
of price for the public printing. The re-
port is full and somewhat lengthy, and in
cludes estimates of experts, and concluded
by stating that the cost to the printer for
type setting can be little if anything short
composit0r alone so cents per 1000, leaving
for the profit fee cents per 1000.
On motion of MIR. hterrimOD, the rules
were suspended and the bill to regulate tie
prices for printing, &c, was put upon its
third reading.
On motion Of Mr.. Powell, the rules we've
suspended and the engrOssei bill prOvid-
ing foT the election of the Superior Court
Judges by the voters of the several judi
cial districts passed its second aud third
readings-the third reading BY a vote Of
80 to 3.
The bill to regulate the rate OF interest
was put upon its second reading, the ques-
ton being on the substitute recommended
by the committee fixing the rate at six per
cent. where no other rate is specified, and
limiting therate to - per cent. on special
contracts.
The substitute Of the committee limit
ing contract rates to Il per cent. was re-
jec:ed by vote of II to 20.

strictions in cases Of contract was rejected

Mr.. Kerr Oh the Tariff.

In the person Of Mr.. Kerr the citizens
OF Indiana possess one of the most in
tclligent and efficient members OF the
lower house of Congress. There are few
members who can or do put more into
their speeches that is worth reading and
remembering than Mr.. Kerr puts in his.
In the Globe of the 18th instant we no
ticc speech Of his upon the general
subject of our present tariff 1t is II
speech which should be widely and care
fully read, and if our space and our in
clnation could be made compatible we
should reproduce the entire speech in
our columns.
Probably no man in Congress has stud
led the tarih question more thoroughly
than Mr.. Kerr. and we can say TO our
readers, If they desire to read an ins.r,c-
tive and enlightened discussion of This
question. set forth in language of singu-
lar ciearncss and force: discussion
which is wholly philosophical in its
method, and without The least trace OF
the buncombe party spirit, we cannot
point them 10 Il more meritOrious pro-
dnctiOn than this speech of Mr.. Kcrrs.
After reading Mr.. Kerr's very admirable
and convincing prescntincnt OF the sub
ject ''what is a tariff for revenue" one
cannot help regretting that there are.
comparatively speaking, so few men in
Congress who have an adequate concep-
ton Of the Importance of the tariff q,ics-
tion. or are in any creditabIc degree

loss of that blank. The. largest order
that can drawn i'm one day is $50.
1t will be seen that it is impossible for
4 postmaster TO commit fraud in money
orders, without sbeing detected sooner
or later. Every blank being numbered,
il is easily told how many have been
taken from the book, and if they are not
properly accounted for, the postmastcr
lis liable to detection. ii is not always u
| sign Of fraud when postmaster draws
a money order on another Office PAYABLE
TO himself, but when it is found that he
has not deposited like amount in his
own Office, it is safe to conclude that he
is swindling the Government.
This il seems has been the mode adopt.
ed by Mr.. Knapp. In addition to secnr-
ing $50 each from the officers in this
city and Louisville, he has drawn $50
from the postoffice at Evansville. and "a
like amount at Lafayette. A few weeks
ago he was Oh tour up through the
northern part of this State i'm Canada,
and also in Ohio. 1t is possible that he
may have drawn orders on money Offices
in various places within the Jurisdictions
named, and went there on collecting
tour. The last heard from him he wa.
at Evansville on the 10Th inst. lie is
probably yet on the wing, taking in or
dcrs drawn in his own favor before
leaving Paoli.
During the past eighteen months the
Government has had suspicion of the
honesty of Knapp. but had never been
able to prove an;hing. During that
time several packages passing from the
offices at French Lick and Orleans 10
Paoli and beyond have been gutted. and
special agents visited Paoli to nvesti-
gate matters. but were never able to
fasten the guilt upon any ono. They.
however. recommended that Knapp bc
dismissed, and the Government. acting
upon the suggestion. appointed Mr..
Rhodes. Mr.. X. showed Knapp the let
ter of appointment which gave him the
cue that his lease of office would expire
as soon as Rhodes commission came.
and from that moment Knapp is belicv-
ed to have planned his grand collecting
tour.
