The TARIFF DEBATE.-The Tariff de.
bate in the House on Wednesday was
quite interesting. Hon. W. D. Kelly's
speech was listened to with close atten-
tion by large number of members. 1t
was full of interesting facts, and his argu.
ment in favor of high protection well
made. The consideration of the bill un.
der the five minute rule will occupy three
weeks, unless there is a break down be-
fore that time. Prominent members oil
the ways and means committee express
the hope that it will not occupy more
than fortnight, but it cannot be passed
in so brief a time, unless house should
early next week, take up and pass the
Senate resolution OF adjournment

The Strokes CAsE.-John Graham
aud Eldridgc T. Gerry have Withdrawn
from the defence Of Stokes They re.
manned until Judge Cardozo settled the
bill Of exceptions-which by the way
was his last official act. Graham and
Gerry then, in due form notified Stokes
that they could no longer act for him.
The reason for this course is said to be
that Stokes is q "wandering sheep" and
will not be controlled. His recent card
brought matters to an issue and so an.
noyed his counsel that they determined
to leave him to his fate. John McKeon
still hangs on, and others will deoubtless
be engaged at once, for unlike most MUIR
derers, Stokes and his friends have all
the money necessary to secure the ablest
talent. 1t is rumored that Hon. Will
liam A. Beach, has been applied to but
considering the relations which former
ly existed between him and the late Col.
Fisk, it would hardly be seemly for him
to defend bis assassin.
