The TnrIa Question.

COMPLETE RUPTURE IN THE WAYS AND MEANS
coAIM1TTEE-No ACTION PROBABLE.
WASHINGTON, April IL.
The Ways and Means Committee 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-ssues between Protection and Rove
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, Burchsrd, 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 inAexibly 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 a separate bill
and bringing it up first for action as-the Protec-
tionists desired.
1t is pretty safe, however, to predict that no
result will follow the long debate that appears
imminent, and that, with divided Ways and
Means Committee, no important modification
Of the Tariff can be etfected.

The Value and Character of Parties

EXTRACTS FROM HENRY WARD BEEoHERs ADDRESS.
A very eloquent address was delivered in Brook
lyn, on Wednesday evening, at the great Repub-
lican meeting, by Henry Ward Beecher. In the
course of it, he dwelt with great sense and force
on the necessity of party organization in Re-
publcs. He said;
Gentleman, there il an Indispensable thing
in the conduct OF great cause-poltical insti-
tutions You might as well attempt husbandry
without tools as to conduct public affairs without
institutions. The institutions of liberty are no
small legacy from our fathers. Probably there
is more personal enthusiasm for liberty in Franco
to-day than there is in America, but they don't
know what are those public institutions by which
liberty IL htly administered. We have them.
We have the institutions by which the will
Of the people is ascertained by which it is
enforced by which the government is ad-
ministered with all due checks, and there is
something beside that. Outside of every gov
eTnment there is an element which is lust as re-
sponsible as the government itself, and that is
party Men sometimes have said, II don't be-
lieve in party" We'll, there is much that min
giles in party spiritthat all deplore and there is
much that mingle5 in every act of human life
that is less than angelic. Yet aver that no free
government can be carried on without parties
There ought to be an opposition party. There
ought to be an administration party. So that
parties are indispensable methods by which in
stitutiOns are administered.
Inc men that make up party are various
They are ignorant, half-bred men thew are
learned men, men with violent prejudices, men
with pride, men with selfishness. What will
you do9 Will you have no party because you
can have only saints? Laughter.) You could
take them in at night out of the rain il you had
only saints. CRenewed laughter.) You have
got to take the average of humanity-top, bot
tom and middle-and deal with men with all
their good and bad things, all their strength
and weaknesses. l do bot undertake to say,
therefore, that the republican party has been
pure IN every respect. 1t has not. / say this,
that the republican party has done better than
any other party that you could have framed in
the same circumstances and in the same place.
say that do not see any prospect at present
Of any other party that will do as we'll in the
four years to come as this party.
"Geptlemen, new party is very much like a
newborn child; it is charming thing in the
household but we have to wait long before we
can put it to any present use daughter and
cheers) Party is not thing that can be be run
up like a brick house. A party is living organi-
cation, and merges slowly into being and grows in
all its members. 1t is fraction if it 10 only in
State, but in this nation it is a party, and ID
made up OF the units of the whole nation, with
man to man standing together. But it is i'm
possible to extempOIize party. You can ex-
tempouze mushrooms, but you cannot extem-
porlze oak trees. Oheers.) The great principles
Qf this nation need time for maturing"

PROSPECTS FOR sPRING-oUoTATIoNs OF PRICES &c.
The carriage trade in this city is good and
the demand active. The various establishments

leans and Texas, but carriages are being sent
every day, to all points in the South and West.
Philadelphia New York, and Boston take con-
siderable fine work. Most of the winter made

them. Among the specialties introduced is

Top and open buggies are in good demand
and also phaetons of all sorts There is a steady
call for'family carriages. One firm is building
some very large and stylish Bretts, for the New
York market.

vance in the cost Of cloth and leather but the
rise is not considerable. The following will give

Music.
THE THEODORE THOMAS CONCERT.

THE THEODORE THOMAS CONCERT.
The audience last evening was not large, but
il was composed Of those who love and appreci-
ate music. The programme throughout was an
admirable selection, and Mr.. Thomas has never
given performance, here, which impaired more
complete pleasure TO his hearers.
TIE overture from Tannhauser was a highly
artistic piece of execution, and the second piece
An Allegretto from Beethoven's 9Th Symphony
was quite good. but so short as to awaken gene
raj regret for its brevity. Mr.. Listemanns per-
upon the vionlin was, perhaps, the gem Of the
evening, and his exquisite mastery of his instru-
ment in his concerto from Paganini was at once
wonderful and delightful. Miss Krebs, too,
bravely sustained her high reputation, in her
performances upon the piano The Polonaise
OF Beethoven was brilliant piece Of execution.
Mr.. Thomas, we fear, was disappointed in the
degree Of support extended to him, on this
visit, but it is neither the fault Of himself nor
OF our musical people, but his misfortune that
heeame at time when the supply of Amuse-
ments and Entertainments is excessive Let us
hope he will come again.

The Philadelphia Disaster.

RECOVERY OF THE BoDIEs-ADDrTIoNAL PARrIoU-
LARS.
PHILADELPHIA, April IL.
The body Of Alexander Crawford was found
under the ruins of the Eighth street store, which
fell yesterday.
He leaves a wife and three children the
other victim, Barney Clancy, left wife and
five children. Both were laborers, and leave
their families destitute.
The Coroner will investigate the cause Of the
accident, to ascertain whether the contractors
are to blame.
The centre wall, which supported the floor,
had been removed, and iron pillars substituted
several years ago, when two stores were thrown
into one. These pillars gave way under the
weight of the rubbish, caused by tearing down
the upper part of the building,
