The Tariff Question.

RUPTURE IN THE WAYS AND MEANS
CoMMITTEE-No ACTION PROBABLE.
WASHINGTON, April IL.
The Ways and Means Co nmittee has at last
split in two upon the Tariff question, as was long
ago predicted would be the case. The division
took place at long and stormy session, held
last evening, when a number of questions, which
were test-issues between Protection and Reve-
nue. Reform, and which had been deferred un-
til the last moment, came to be voted upon pre-
paratory to completing the Tariff BILL for report
ing to the House. On every one Of these votes
the Committee stood to 4, the Protectionists
being Dawes, Kelley, Maynard, and Roberts and
the Reformers, Burchard, Finklenburg Kerr,
Brooks and Beck. Finally, Mr.. Dawes had de-
clared that the bill had got into such a shape
that he would not report it to the House. He
said that he could not put himself in the attitude
of indorsing it., without being unfaithful to the
interests of his district and State and to the
cherished convictions of his whole life.
This announcement created great excitement
in the Committee. The majority appeared to
think they had been unfairly treated by Mr..
Dawes.
Mr.. Dawes adhered inflexibly to his determi-
nation not to report it, and to oppose it in the
House. The majority then voted to make but
one bill of the tariff and tax notifications, in
stead Of reporting the latter in separate bill
and bringing it up first for action the Protec-
tionists desired.
1t is pretty safe, however, to predict that nc
result will follow the long debate that appear
imminent, and that, with a divided Ways ant
Means Committee, no important mobilization
| Of the Tariff can be effected

aKN. GRANT AND PUBLIC OPINION.
From the N. Y. Timeal
Eleven States have now expressed their pref
erence for Gen. Grant. These include Massa-
chusetts, Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Rhode
Island, Pennsylvania, Indiana. Maine, Oregon,
Florida, and Wisconsin. The Connecticut South
Carolina and Missouri delegations are favorable
TO his nomination. though without instructions
What is the meaning of this remarkable unani-
nifty? Ia It possible that ii is all artificial and

for the place which gave Mr.. Lincoln his second
term, and Gen. Grant his first and which made

WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION HAS ACCOMPLISHED
From the N. Y. Heraldl
The effect Of his administration has been re-
habilitate the republican party and to give it
stronger hold upon the country than 1t had at
any time since the election of Lincoln For he
has paid the debt; has kept the peace; has shown
mercy and Justice to the South; he has behaved
with signal energy and frankness in all foreign
relations, he has dealt with the Indian like
Christian and not like robber; he has striyen
to reform the civil service; he has guided the
country in paths OF prosperity; he has avoided
every adventure that would embarrass the return
Of the nation to peace and stability. and he has
borne himself in kis high office with dignity
patience and moderation equalled by no Presi-
dent since Washington, and by Washington alone.
THE WASHINGTON TREATY.
From the N. Y. Times.l
What, then, is our Government to do? II is a
hard question to answer-and we fear journal
lists are not competent to answer it. Even the
discussion of the subject is attended with the
risk Of doing more harm than good. II is only
too easy to excite new prejudioes, or deepen old
ones, on either side. We only know that it will
be subject for lasting regret il the Treaty OF
| Washington breaks down, and we will endeayol
| to hope that wise and prudent statesmanship
may still devise some method by which the

dispute of which everybody is weary may be

the Coal RegiOrs.
At the recent session of the Pennsylvania, Leg
stature, charter was granted for new railroad
to the coal regions, called the Pennsylvania and
Lehigh. By the provisions of the Act, it is to
extend from point at or near Parkesburg, on
the Pennsylvania Railroad, to the Lehigh river,
at any point in Carbon or Lehigh counties. Power
to build branches is also conferred
This line, it will be perceived, is practically an
extension northward of the Pennsylvania & Del
aware road now in course of construction, and
whose northern terminus is at Pomeroy, near
Parkesburg. Its route to the Lehigh River must
strike somewhere near Reading and it is said that
Mauch Chunk is its ultimate destination. Col.

charter, as we learn, in opposition to the Phila-

THE GRAND CoNcERT.-The fret grand
concert given by the Musical Institute, Of
this city, came off in Washington Hall
last evening. A larger attendance on q
concert occasion has not assembled in the
hall since the Brignoli troupe was here
two or three years ago. The absence Of
two or three Of the principal members OF
the Institute, was felt and regretted not
only by those who were on the pro.
gramme, but by the audience. Notwith-
standing the unfortunate circumstance
above stated, the music presented last
evening was Of high order, and was very
well rendered. As in all associations Of the
kind there are some who excel, still il
would hardly be just to point out those who
have not, and possibly cannot, become as
proficient rs the members more highly
gifted. We shall not, therefore, particu.
larize those who acquitted themselves
with the greater credit last evening. All
of them did well, and their efforts TO en-.
terrain were heartily appreciated, il fire..
qucnt and hearty applause be an index Of
appreciation. Some of the pieces were
encOred; every selection on the pro.
gramme called forth appreciation. Finan.
cially We should think the concert was a
grand success, and the Institute may COL
graduate itself on having made u most
favorable impression on the public.
