After passing number OF private bills, this morning,
the House agreed the Conference report upon the Tax
and Tariff bill. After Its reading Mr.. Dawes was ques-
toned on all sides the shape in which 1t left the
bill and why the Committee had reported 1t did in
tins and that case After all questions had been put and
answered Messrs Kerr Kelley, and Brooks gave their
views Of the bill Mr. Kerr thought II an excellent one
compared with former legislation. Mr.. Kelley SAID II
good bill which would 90 much toward reylVng
our commerce. The Tariff largely reduced, but
inatr fbe iodnstrles OF tbe country MT Brooks was
glad that Congress had at last taken its first step in
ducng the Tariff but he thought Mr. Dawes had treated
the House rather shabby IN cutting on debate on the
details The total reduction by the bill Is about s53 00
AT o'clock the House adjourned until tomorrow, when
the Speaker will sign the Tariff bill, after which recess
| will be taken until Friday.
As an evidence Of the manner In which the Admins
ration organ Of this city is paid for reyng those whose
principles lead them in opposite directions it is only
necessary to note the following amendment which was
invented by the Senate Committee on Appropriations,
to the sundry Civil Appropriation bin, before the
! Senate for action. The amendment Is as follows;
"To pay the publisher Of The National Republican
| for printing list OF appropriations, OF the
XXXIVth Congress, f25i. Considering that many of
the leading newspapers Of the country in the habit
of paying Government officers for merely making up aud
furnishing list OF the appropriations for publication IN
wear the dsnterestedness Of the organs support of tho
Administration is apparent especially when II is known
that the service Tor which payment is claimed per
| formed ten years ago.
Senator Chandler said to-day that the speech of Mr.
Sumner had been so thoroughly picked to pieces by
Messrs Carpenter and Logan that he did not feel called
upon reply to the Massachusetts Senator at length

the Senate for five on the subject Of eKsecretary
staDtOn's opposition 10 President Grant From him and
other Administrative ascerained that there
will be no more political speeches unless they are pro
vOked by Messrs. Sumner and Schurz The latter took
notes during the speech OF Mr. Carpenter yesterday but
1t is not known that he intends 10 reply in the Senate
