Bay" The new Tariff bill which was
reported to the House of Represen-
tatives, few days ago, by the Ways
and Means Committee, will, fit be
comes law, effect reduction Of taxa
ton of about $l3,O0O,OO0, and in the
Tariff of nearly Sl9,O0O,OOO. The
whole thing is a transparent device to
deceived the people by a pretence OF
reducing taxation, when the real OBJ
iect is, the creating of Presidential
capital for Grant. The trick wont
work. The bill suits neither Protec-

The Dead Philosopher.

New YORK, December 2.-The re-
mains of Mr.. Greeley are lying q,
Samuel Sinclair's, Forty-fith street.
A large number OF people visited the
house all day yesterday expecting the
body would be laid in state, but none
were admitted cave a few friends and
relations. The remains OF the dead
philosopher reclined in the black cloth
covered casket, in the rear part Of the
house, with q temple Of white flowers
at the head and flowery testimonials OF
loving hands scattered ever the pal.
The face looked as noble and gentle az
in life; the eyes we're closed as calmly
and the lines about the mouth were
drawn as peacefully as in sleep. The
broad forehead was smooth and polish
ed. As in most cases, the face is as yet
unpinched. The coffiu is OF solid chest
nut wood, covered with black cloth.
The trustees of the Tribune have ar
ranged Tor the funeral to take place on

various kinds are taking formal steps
Tor attending in body. The remains
will lie in state throughout tomorrow
at such place as shall be announced
in tomorrow mornings papers. In all
the churches yesterday the clereymep,
without distinction of denomination,
paid touching and we'll deserved
tributes.
The preparations for the reception oil
Minister Washburne, at the Union
League, Club on Wednesday evening"
are entirely complete. The affair will
be the most brilliant ever witnessed in
New York, not excepting the reception
given President Grant by the same
club, at its old quarters, Union Square
The President will attend unless come

The Future OF the Liberal Rrpubf-
can Party-Letter from the Chair.
man Of the National Committee.

The following letter in reg ard to the
future OF the Liberal Republican party,
addressed to Jacob R. Reese, editor OF
the Trenton (N. J State Sentinel, has
just been received:
"NEw YORK, Nov. %, 1872.
"MY DEAR SRI have yours OF the
Sth inst. asking from me the intentions
of the National Committee with refer
ence to the future Of the Liberal Re-
publican party. 1t seems to me that
time only can fully answer your ques-
ton. Circumstances must determine
our future. In my own judgment we
have made a gallant fi,ht. which may
vet prove to be the skirmish preceding
a great victory. We were defeated be-
cause no great issues divided the political
parties, and mere personal arguments
we're not sufficient to bring out the pop
ular vote or to cause a change OF adj
ministration. We made a platform at
Cincinnati looking to certain reforms.
At Philadelphia the Republicans
adopted substantially the same plat
form and narrowed the fight to one Of
men, not princi pies. There being then
nothing more important than individual
political inter ests at stake the moneyed
interests OF the country were thrown
with the party in power and against any
change, and thus at the beginning the
heaviest artillery was placed against us.
United to this the Democracy were
spathetic; at first, because no
vital principle awakened an interest
in the contest, and, second, because
wears Of hostility to Mr.. Greeley
begat indifference in an encounter
merely personal between him and
General Grant. We did not fail be-
cause our nominee Was unpopular, for
l to-day believe that no man in the
United States can boast OF so many
personal friends as Horace Greeley, and
no one lives VINO is more beloved or es-
teened than he for character prIncely
in it's uuselfish regard and it's loyalty to
every moral law which governs human
conduct. 1t is true that in the heat Of
an angry contest lie was calumuisted
and misrepreseuted, bu, all such at
tacks were made only by the miserable
padaies that skim over the sound and
healthy flesh OF the body to find come
fostering pimple to assail and feed upon
We failed because We were engaged 10
a combat not vltsEzsd by any issue suf'
ficient TO make distinct line between
friend and foe.
1T is vet too soon 10 determine as to
the future. II General Grant faithfully
