Retrenchment and Reform.

The Senate Committee on Retrenchment
and Reform having had under considera-
ton the bill introduced by Senator Cage,
entitled an act relative to the fees and
emoluments of the Auditor of Public Ac.
counts, yesterday reported tavorably there
on, and recommended it's immediate pas.
sage. Under suspension of the rules the
report was taken up, adopted, and the
consideration of the bill agreed to. The
bill was read twice and made the special
order of the day for next Saturday, when
it will come up upon its third and final
reading.
1t repeals act No. 60, of 1873, entitled an
act relative to fees and emoluments of the
Auditor of Public Accounts, and to repeal
section three Of act No. 81, of 1872, and for
other purposes. 1t also revives section
three of act No. 81, Of 5B72, making i.
unlawful for the Auditor to demand, re-
ceive or accept any other fees or compen.
sation than his salary, restricts the ex-
pensss of his Office to $4,000 per annum,
and pr Divides that all emolumeDts, other
than his salary, be placed in the State
treasur =, to the credit of the general fund.
The bill excited good deal of debate in
the Senate, and from the course it took
yesterday, there can be NO doubt but tha,
the bill will will pass, it being regarded o.
reform measure, essentially necessary.

Tho Iron Clad Oath.

The iron clad oath, one of the most i'm.
portant of the reconstruction laws, is yet in
full force. BY joint resolution of Congress
it is waived in cases where ex-Confederate
officials are elected to Congress. Mr.. Can
field, member of Congress from Chicago,
elected to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Mr.. Rice, took the unadulterated
iron clad oath when he was sworn in few
days ago. If he had been an ex.Confedrate
it would have been waived. 1t is now pro-
posed to return to the old practice of admin
istering it to all applicants for seats in
Congress alike. 1t would exclude about
eighty-two applicants for seats in the next
House, but their places could easily be
filled by the election of other and more
lOyal men.

Congress can not do better than adopt the
report of the House Committee and refers
the President to it for the guidance which
he seeks. In doing so it will not remove all
the evils and difficulties that exist in
Arkansas, but will perform its we'll defined
duty under the constitution and will enable
the President without danger to do his.

The New and Old Rules. I.

The real effect of the new rule Of the
national House of Representatives stopping
tilibustering. and at the same time permit
ting full debate, is readily understood, and
was well illustrated by the lengthy debate
on the civil rights bill, which the Democrat
ic members tried forty-slx hours continuous
session to prevent, but the old abrogated
rule is not SO readily comprehended. I'm
der its operations one-fifth of the members
present controlled the House absolutely,
even to the extent Of stopping all business
whenever it pleased. The average at
tendance in the House is about 2S0. One.
fifth of the members present, or tifty-six,
could force the Speaker to call the yeas and
nays upon any and every motion made, and
by making motions to adjourn over and
over, and calling the yeas and nays ON each,
business or debate even was stopped in
definitely, at the pleasure of one-ffth of the
members present.

Changes in the Tariff.

Herewith are appended such changes in
the tariff as will affect importers at this
port.
On still wine in casks the duty is now
forty cents per gallon. Formerly the
revenue demanded was in proportion to
value, and reached from twenty-five cents
per gallon to 81 and 81 25. The amended
tariff imposes a duty of 81 GO per dozen on
still wine in cases. On effervescing wine and
spirituous liquors in bottles an allowance
of five per cent is giving for leakage and
breakage.
On chromate and bi-chromate of potash
the rate is fixed at four cents per pound.
Macaronni and vermicelli were formerly
free of duty; now they are assessed two
cents per pound.
Nitro-benzole or oil of urbane now pays
duty of ten cents per pound, and tin
plate, whether in sheets, terne or otherwise
is placed at one and one-tenth cents per
pound. Anchovies and sardines are fifteen
cents per whole box. Yellow sheathing
metal and metal bolts rank at forty-fve per
cent, less ten per cent. Jute butts are re-
duced to Sc per ton. Machinery for the
manufacture of ramie is to be admitted free
for two years dating from July l, 1875.
The rest of the tariff goes into effect from
the date of February 8, 1875.
Such is the summary as gathered from
unofficial but authentic sources. The changes
set forth will not affect the customs receipts
here to any great extent. The lower grades
of wines will yield greater percentage of
impost dues, but the higher grades will
show corresponding falling off. Tin plate
shows an increase, but that commodity
comes to this place in limited quantities
only. In the matter of silk alluded to
above, nothing definite is as yet known.
The little tariff neither increases the revenue
nor brings aught of gain. No doubt the
adjustment of the scale of duties was de-
vised on basis of equity, but no addi.
tional coin is brought to the national treas
ury, and much labor is involved in its en-
forcement.

We wrote this article with our old scis.
sors-
WI acknowledge the receipt Of a copy
of the annual report of the State Hospital
Tor the Insane, for 1874. This institu-
lion is located at Danville, Pa, and during
the current year 152 patients were admit
ted. Previous to 1878 there were 166 pa
tients in the hospital. and during the year
so were discharged, leaving 23S under
treatment at the time this report was made.
The report of the Superintendent is very
interesting, and the statement is made that
hardly any two persons can agree as 10 the
precise smount of influence any particular
cause has had in the production OF insan-
iiy.
1t is said hat all who profess to be ex-
perts on the question OF mental maladies
agree upon n point, and that is that all
hope Of cure diminishes as the disease be-
comes older. II proper treatment is insti-
tuted in good time it is possible that the
patient may get well, but il put of too
long the chances are lessened. 1t must
not be understood that every case of in
sanity is durable, no matter how promptly
the besttreatment that science may suggest
may be called in. We are quoting, in sub
stance, from the report before US, which
states. that a certain number of the insane
are hopelessly doomed from the outset of
their ailment.
There is no malady in the whole cate
CORY OF diseases to which humanity is sub
ject that appeals more strongly to our SYM
pathies than this one feature OF insanity.
