The Republicans Washington special
Of the 20th says: The house was to day
the scene Of a most extraordinary move
in legi, latiou. The chairman Of the
ways and means committee proposed a
suspension Of the rules and the imme
diate passage Of the tax and tariff bills
without further amendment or debate
The proposition not being detatable, was
carried by nearly three to one. and to
morrow the measure will be submitted to
the senate. That portion of the bill
abolishing the income tax, the tax on il
Illuminating gas. the stamps on bank and
checks and drafts, and the bill providing .
for the tobacco tax, and the consolidated
whisky tax, were not even read, nor
have they even been debated. Members
however, became satisfied that the house
could not improve the bill reducing
internal taxation, and therefore accepted
it just as it came from the committee
The tariff stands jus, as it was finished
in committee of the whole on Friday
and provides for horizontal reduction
of ten per cent The bill as it stand:
reduces taxation about $50 600, 600
There are s29, 1000 900 Of reduction OF
The tariff alone. 1t is probable chat the
senate will accept it substantially as il
came from the house

A few mouths since any allusion to
the possibility of the Philadelphia con
vestien nominating any one other than
Grant would not have been listened to by
His supporters, but now the matter is actu
ally being discussed. The strength Of the
Cincinnati nominees has surprised them
Any other nomination, however, won,
mend the matter. Grant is probably the
strongest man Of his party that is Dau ed
for the doubtful honor; but should any
one else be nominated in the belief that
the contest Is waSed solely against the
man and not against the policy he repre-
sents, they will find that this is o mistake.
The opposition to the nominee will be
just the same. The party that expects
to make him its leader is responsible for
such measures as the Federal Election
bull, the Ku- klux legislation, the tyran
nIcal policy pursued toward the South,
10. Grant was only the tool used to en-.
force the measures and whether he, or
some other Of the clan is nominated, the
damaging record will bang to the party
all the same.

The graveyard laughter with which
the othceholders received the news Of the
nomination Of Or. Greeley has given
place to iuueral despair. The bread an6
butter brigade are evidently in 0 state Of
trepidation, and few even Of the most
saDguins dare to express any hope Of
Grants reelection if Greeley is endorsed
at Baltimore. In some Of the states the
ofhce holders are actively at work to
secure the nomination OF delegates to the
Democratic National Convention who will
be 10 favor Of raising up some man to be
Knocked down, so as 10 secure the re-.
election Of Grant.-N Y. sun.
And this very move Of the supporters
OF Grant ought to deter the Baltimore
convention from making q nomination.
Some Of tho leading Radical papers have
gone 80 far as to advise the Democrats to
put ticket in the field, intimating that
it would be successful. But the russ is
too thin, and any sensible mau can see
through it. Ifunder present circumstan
ces there Was shadow of success for TIE
Democracy, these same papers would
be the last to give such advice. Then
why do i, now? They know full we'll
that nomination by the Baltimore con.
vsntion would cause wider breach in the
Dem ocra,ic party than has been made in
their own ranks, and that Grants chances,
now on the wane, would be much better.
They see the hand writing on the wall,
and tbsir knoes begin 20 quake, hence the
dodge TO secure a nomination at Balu
more. Bat We believe that body will be
sharp enough for them.

It has been stated that sixty Of the one
hundred and Eve Democratic members Of
Congress, had signed paper protesting
against tho nomination Of Mr.. Greeley at
Baltimore but correspondent. Of the
Republican has been making inquiry into
the matter, and be Gays that each member
denies having signed any such paper
For our part, We don't see why the Bal
tmore convention should nominate Mr..
Greeley or any one else. Let the dele
gates meet and issue an address, If they
see proper, ple]ging themselves to the
support of no presidential candidate,
but leaving Democrats all over the
country to exercise their own judgmen,
as to whom they will vote for, and then
adjourn without making o nomination.
1t is useless to put man forward, simply
that he may be defeated, aud that Grant
may be elected. No matter who might
be nominated by the Baltimore conven
tion, however good man he might be,
he cannot command tho support Of the
whole Democratic party, because many
look upon such q proceeding as uuwise
in the present emergency, and would
oppose it on that account, even though
tho nominee were one Of the best men in
the country. Why, it is nothing uncom
mon to hear life long Democrats declare
that they will not support the nominee o
the Baltimore convention, should one b,
made, against Mr. Greeley. They have
higher aim than mere party victory.

Greeley Leaves the Tribune.

Horace Greeley has resigned his
position as editor Of the New York
Tribune. He publishes the following
card:
The Tribune ha. ceased to be party
organ, but the unexpected nomination OF
its editor at Cincinnati seems to involve
il in a new embarrassment All must be
aware that the position Of journalist
who is at the same time candidate is a,
the best irksome and difficult that he is
fettered in action, and restrained in
criticism, BY the knowledge that what
ever he may say or do is closely scanned
by thousands eager to fnd IL it what
may be so interpreted, so as to'annoy or
perplex those who are suppor ing lin as
q candidate, and to whom his sha:klei
condition will no, permit him to be ser
vicable. The undersigned, therefore
withdraws absolutely from the conduct OF
the Tribune, and will henceforth, until
further notice, exercise no control OF
supervision over its columns.

the gif. Of the people Of this common

Of his ability, honesty, and general quail

wherever known, recommend him to the
favorable consideration Of the Democracy

A great discovery is said to have been
recently made by a surgeon of the
british army in China, in the way of an
eifeetual remedy for smallpox. The
mode OF treatment is as follows:
when the preceding fever is at it's
height, and just before the eruption ap-
pears, the chest is rubbed with croton oil
and tartaric ointment This causes the
whole OF the eruption to appear on tha,
part OF the body to the relief of the rest
1t also secures full and complete erup
tion, and thus prevents the disease from
attacking the.intcrnal organs. This i,
the established mode of treatment in ths
English army in China, and is regarded
as q perfect cure A."

who has penchant for wrestling with all sorts

from which it appears that split has occurred
In the republican party In the state; that both
wings recently held state conventions, and each
has ticket in the field for state officers; that
the boiling republicans, who are termed .sbrin-
die tails" endorsed Greeley, and hoped to get
the support Of the democrats for their state
ticket, but that the democrats, who say they
might gothic Cincinnati nominations on pinch,
have no idea Of letting few "liberals" distri-
butte the state offices among them. They are
therefore waiting for their state convention,

sets Of candidates in the field, and the prsbs-
bilities are that Grant viii sweep the state.
