New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1872-04-17

AS might have been expected. the thing of
shreds and patches reported as Tariff bill
from the Ways and Means Committee pleases
nobody, and not one member of the Commit
tee is willing to acknowledge any paternal af-
lection for it. Even Messrs. Burchard and
Finkelnburg, who should be its sponsors, deny
taking any pleasure therein. comical but
nndgnified feature of the proceedings, yester-
day, after Mr.. Dawes had reported the Com
mittees bill, was the introduction of minority
measure, which was followed by scramble
over it's paternity and disposition. The whole
affair, from beginning to end, justifes the po-
sition of THE TRIBUNE, that the Tariff were
now be.tor iet alone. Clearly. there is no

A meeting which the Custom-hOuse organ
describes as one of merchants, bankers, me-
"chanics, and other business men in faror of
"Gen. Grants reflection" is to be held this
evening at Cooper Institute. Turning to the
call, we find that nothing is said therein of the
reelection aforesaid, since that would have
added to the multitude of refusals encountered
from those whose signatures TO the call were
solicited. AS Senators Morton, Wilson and
Harlan are announced as speakers, the meet
ing. will of course be large one. We shall
report it fully and faithfully.

active the dealings having been quite numerous at
