TARIFF AND CURRENCY.
The ruling of the Speaker to-day, by which
The Army bill was sent to the Committee of the
Whole will send tho Tariff bill to the Same Com
lnittee, unless the rules can be suspended on
Monday. Such motion will doubtless be made
On the Tariff and Currency bills but it is not
possible that two-thirds vote can be
secured. IT. their consideration must first
lake place in Committee, final action may not
be reached this session, owing to the pressure OF
3ther business.
