members for the House, instead Of 2S3, n
under the new bill.
The protective tariff interests are repre-
sentcd in large force in Washington al
present, including the industrial leagues Of
Michigan and Philadelphia, the lumber inter.
ests, the iron ind coal and Bessemer steel in
terests, the salt companies, leather manufac-
turers, etc. This large demonstration against
the reduction of duties has been prompted
by the movement made in the petitions oil
thousands of revenue rcforners presented to
Congress carly in January. The protection
lists, while opposing the repeal of the duties
on anything else, favor the abolition Of all
duties on tea, coffees, and sugar.
A Pennsylvania delegation Of iron manu-
facturers, headed by Senator's Scott and
Cameron, called. on the President to-day.
The former stated that the delegation sup
ported more families than all the departments
In Washington. and they solicited the views
of the Executive on the industrial interests
Of Pennsylvania. The President replied
that lie WIS in favor Of fully protecting every
industry in this, country, and of admitting
free Of duty every article not produced in the
United States. The delegation said they
were fully satisfied with the Presidents tariff
record. They subsequently called Oh Speaker
Blaine, who stated that he was sorry to see
the impression produced in Pennsylvania
that he had constituted the Ways and Means
Committee in the interest Of free trade. He
was in favor of protecting the industrial in
tercsts of Pennsylvania and all the other
States. ZETA.

lows:
Tits extract cyinces Z .iustcr appreciation
O: roltical possibilities than has been shown
hy the Grant organs which! llippantly under
value the proposed convention at Cincinnati.
The Illb,.ne's estimate is expressed with
caution, for Mr.. Greeley is too experienced 4
politician to set up for n prophet at n time
when the public mind is so unsettled rs it is
at present. lie has been an alert observer
for forty wears, and whatever may be thought
Of his powers OF logic and coordination, he
has few EQUALS and 10 Supporters in dIvining
the DRIFT of public sentiment. At any rate,
the lali-lledgcd political neophyteS who
pool-pooh and belittle the Cincinnati Con-
yrnti0n have no claim which the public will
recognize to weigh their opinion against his.
The proposed convention "m0y name the
next President" If it should be wise
enough TO name candidate whom the Demo
cratic party could adopt and lndorse, MI.
Grccicv's "aadY" might DO changed into u
"must."
The call for a convention at Cincinnati on
the 9Th OF Nav "a month i'll advance Of the
Republican Convcntionl is, rs our readers
know, of Missouri origin and Republican pa
tcrnity. Some forty thousand liberal Repub-
leans Of that State were represented iii a
convention held last week at Jefferson City,
the State capital and that convention issued
the cell for mass National Convention ut
Cincinnati on the 9Th Of 5Iay. 1t is Rcpub-
lican movement and IN anti-Grnt movement.
II is nucleus around which all the RcpuDli-
can clements OF opposition TO Glnntwi clus-
ter. is possible Importance lies in the fact
that there has grown UP within the last two
wears widespread dissatisfaction with Cen
crai Grant in the Republican ranks.
The Grant organs which try to pour con-
tempt on this movement are mislcd Tor rather
try to mislcad their readcTs) by false analogies.
They refer TO the Fremont convention at
Cleveland in 1864, i'll opposition to Mr.. Lin
coin. Thcrc$ no resemblance. President
Lincoln was Il man Of very different ORDER
from President Grant. He was not sordid
giit-taker, as Grants. He had not appointed

RACINE, Wis, January 10, 1872.

hACiSE, W Icy oouUail lop lo'~'
81. c. GaIlauay Esq:
In my opinion the present
party holds power simply because those who
are opposed to it do not act together. Three
million Democratic voters are opposed to it.
and, Us / believe nearly one million Rcpub-
leans are opposed to it. Can the four mil
lions unite and vote tos ether? If they can,
they will have d majority OF five hundred
thousand. If they cannot they must t:.il.
How Gun this union in political action be
effected? 1t cannot be coalition of leaders
to o,tain Office and power. There must be
union of the masses upon common princi-
pies, and to effect common and great patri-
otto purpose.
The whole country waits now to see what
shall be the action Of the Liberal Republican
Convention to be held in Missouri on the
24th instant.
| If that convention shall plant itself square
| ly upon ideas, and pledge itself TO princi-
pies, which all true Republicans and all true
Democrats Of Jetlerson's and Jackson's
school cherish as vital to the maintenance of
republican government and to constitutional
civil liberty, they may command the conf
dence not only of the 100000 Liberal Re-
publicans, but of the 100000 Democratic
voters. But in order to do SO they must de-
clare against Capitalization against keeping
military power above civil authority; against
using the Federal army to control conven-
tons and destroy the freedom Of elections
against stupendous frauds, peculations,. and
r0bberies Of the carpet-bag governments OF
the South, rs well as Tammany, the custom
house, and elsewhere; and in favor of uni.
vcrsal reimbursement; Of giving to all the
States their just and equal rights under the
Constitution in favor Of the principle OF
one term for the President; Of applying that
| principle to the present Executive; and OF
practical ciyi-service reform by placing q
statesman of capacity and integrity at the
! head of affairs.
| Should that convention take some such
course, and the Liberal Republicans of Other
States follow their example, and show thai
the Liberal Republicans Of tho whole coun
| try have the courage to work, and if neces
saIy make sacrifices to sustain true repubil'
con liberty, the great mass OF the Democratic
voters would not only sylnpathiZe with them
but in some proper and efficient mode fratcr
niZe with them in political action in order tc
save our republican system of government
# they seek to lead, however, they must
show themselves worthy of leadership. They
must speak to the people in no uncertain
tones, and march before them with no falter
ing tread.
Respectfully yours.

ISTESsE COLD AND Loss OF LIFE IN THE
NoRTHwEsT.--C Chicago, February Ire
ports now coming to hand from the North
west show that the change in the tempera-
ture on Saturday night and Sunday was
much greater than at first stated, and that
there has been great suffering and some loss
of life on the plains. A special from Sioux
City to the Times says that several deaths
occurred near that city from exposure. Two
men, father and son, named Patrick and
Michael Jordan, were froZen.to death on
Percy creek, ten miles north of that place.
When found the bodies We're within twenty
rods of house. They had come six or
seven miles for load of wood, aud were
overtaken suddenly by tic storm, when they
became Eewildcrcd, and could not reach
shelter. Three men, Hollanders, names I'M
known, were frozen to death on Rock river.
in Sioux county, on Sunday.
\ special dispatch to the Journal from
Vermillion, Dakota, says that several persons
have persisted from cold in that valley. Two
boys were caught IN storm near Lodi. One
was frozen TO death, and the other had his
arms and legs so badly frozen that they vii
have to bc amputated. Two men are re
ported dead from the cold on Turkey creek
in Dakota, fifteen miles from here, and scyc
ral other deaths are reported, the particulars
Of which have not been received. The storm
was Of unprecedented severity, and will long
DC remembered.

MdKYLarD HID yIRaTsTa BuvrDaav.--Wil-
liam J. Aydelott, Esq, a member Of the Mary
land joint committee to adjust the Eastern
Shore boundary between Maryland and Vir-
ginia, has made a report to the Legislature,
from which it appears that after great labor
to effect satisfactory adjustment, all work
by the joint commission was suddenly closed
for the season from the absence Of full COM
mission on one or the other side. Mr.. Ayde-
lott and Dir. 81. A. Wise, of the Virginia
commission, met at Crisfeld in October and
made personal explorations, and II d full
commission on both sides could have been
Ind IL is thought that satisfactory adjust
ment could have been arrived at. MIR. Ayde-
lott recommends that the commission be con-
tinued, and spring or early summer beavailed
of 90 resume the work. Thus all future
"oyster wars" between citizens Of the two
Suites might be Observation-Disclosures San.

sEwERs.-It was pretty well understood,
eycn without the demonstration in late No.
of Nature, that much foul air, driven back
from the sewers, finds its way into houses
by the wastc-holes of watcr-basins. You can
put in the plug, as many people do, and draw
the basin full of water. and be safe, so far as
the orifice ut the bottom is concerned; but
this does not stop up the apertures which are
necessarily provided to meet the contingency
of the water being accidentally left running.
Now, il some ingenious plumber or other
mechanician can invent an apparatus which
will always keep these holes closed except
when the water rises to their level or above
them, great desideratum would be attained.

THE New YoRK CUsToM-HoUsE ISvFsT1aA-
T1oS.-Neoo York, February 1.-The Con-
gressioual Committee resumed their sessions
this morning. A letter from one Perkins, OF
Dover, n. H., saying he can give important
revelations regarding the custoln-house bust
ness Of 1869, led to an order for his SUBJ
peneying The committee voted to take the
testimony of Generals Porter and Babcocl,
in Washington. Mr.. Rogers testified rs to his
cargo of camel coal being returned at six
per cent. in excess Of what it really was, be-
cause he declined giving three loads to the
ctstom-house officers, and mentioned Mr..
Bennett, of New Haven, as having the same
experience.
The secretary of the National Reform AS
ISOLATION, who was formerly an appraiser,
gave several instances where the damages
bureau Of the custom-house gave only one
per cent, when the insurance companies
placed them ct fifteen per cent. He said
he was supported by his position rs secre-
tary; that all the expenses Of heAssociation,
including his salary, wero paid by sub
scriptions Of merchants who want the tariff
reduced to revenue basis.
+. M. Bixby testified that he had been
in the gcncral-ordcr business under Grlnnell,
and paid money to Lindsey as his share of
the profits.
Mr.. Bxby also stated the whole profits of
the North river general-order business when
he managed it was 100000 to $4,000 an
nually. His relations with Colonel Leet
were friendly. he thought that to give
steamships their own general-order stores, as
was done awhile ago, would afford greater
facilities for smuggling; witness has always
been a Democrat, and Grinnell and Leet
knew it.
The committee then adjourned.
The Chamber OF Commerce, at a meeting
this afternoon, adopted resolutions providing
for the selection of committee Of seven
members by the President to confer with the
Senate committee now in this city to aid
them i'll their investigation.
