Mr. Maynard presented the report Of the
Conference COshnaittes on what is known
as the little tarH bill.
Mr.. Beck said, as a member Of the Cor
ference Commttee; he had declined to sign
the report, becsuse the House had given up
10 the Senate Everything that was Of value
in the originf OH, and accepted from the
Ssnete tlIlRgs 80 6ught uos 20 have been
put in the bin. he did not know Of single
amendment which it made 20 change the
law that was beneficial, or If thsre
was, it was Of such slight value that the
House ought not to adopt the report. The
only material differences between this con
ference report and the Uus which the House
voted down last session by 1876 to 49 Tss
that this report increased the duty on hops
from five cents to eight cents per pound,
and this report was just that much worse
than the last one. The proposition to in
crease from fifty to sixty per cent. the
duties on mixed silk goods, of which twen-
ty-five per cent. is cotton, he characterized
as little bit Of a steal, got up for the ben
eft Of, principally, three manufac urers in
New Jersey. He believed that that pro-
vision would result in the loss Of S2,OO0,0O0
of reve1ds.
Mir. Kasson dissented from the views ex-
pressed by Mr.. Beck.
Mr., Dawes said that according to the
calculation Of the Treasury Department,
the increase in the revenue from the bill
would be aboht S1,O0OOg0. But something
more would have to be done 10 due TIME.
He was quite certain they would be COM
PEELED TO put back the duty on tea ana
coffee, and either repeal the ten percent re-
duction on certain manufactured articles
OF increase the duty on WHISKY.
The conference report was agreed tC-
yeas 1876, nays 80. A motion to reconz
slider was made and laid on the table. The
bin now goes % the President for his sig
nature. The House then adjourned.

The CuRAN WAR CRY

On the heels Of Grants message,
urging increased Notifications and a
heavier armament for our coast de-
fenses, comes the report Of Admiral
Porter to Secretary Robson upon the
condition of our navy. 1t is a sad
story from beginning to end. He con-
trasts our vessels, built in the haste of
the war from unseasoned and perishing
materials, with recent naval cOnstruc-
tions of other countries. When Capt.
Ericssorf built the first monitor, the
Admira} says, the day of wooden and
half-armored war vessels passed away.
He compares our navy to a feot sol
dier armed with a pistol encOuntering
a mounted man in armor with a breech-
loading rife. OF our monitors, be
says:
We have now bat six monitors fit for
service out of the forty-eight which ap-
pear on the navy register. Twenty
were long ago condemned as unfit for
service. The available monitors formed
part Of our West India feet, which

THE ghost of Louisiana viii not
down. 1t continues to furnish the
staple of editorial to journals of every
political shade. The Republican NelC
York Times says 1.-THE task which is set
for Congress in dealing with the
Louisiana question is not a simple or
an easy one, but it is very urgent, " ad-
ding:
The position in which the Republican
party is put by the report of the Con
gressional Committee Is a grave one.
Tue simple fact, which cannot be
evaded, is that the military of the
United States have been used, under
general instructions to sustain Gov.
Kellogg, IN giving the organization of
the lower House In the Louisiana Leg
islature to a majority fraudulently OBJ
tained. The fraud never could have
been consumated if the Marshal and
Collector of the United States had,
however, the courage, the honestly and
the common sense to oppose it. These
facts remain after all is conceded that

general facts that the responsibility Of

A Turbulent Debate IN the
French Assembly.
The Constitutional Bills the Ele.
ment of DiscOrd.



PARIS, Jan. 21.-In the Assembly to-day
the debate on the constitutional bills was
opened. n. DeventOn's hill was first taken
up. It confirms President MacMahOn's
powers, establishes ministerial responsible
ty, creates a second chamber, invests the
President with power to dissolve the As
sembly, and provides that on a lapse Of
Presidential power, a Congress Of the two
chambers shall decide upon the future gov
ernment of France. NJ. DeventOn urged
as that prOvisOFium alone was possible, It
was necessary that il should
be Immediately organized. The members
Of the Left objected to the exclusion Of Re
publican principles from the measure, when
the republican was the existing form Of
government.
NJ. DeCaryon Lature, Legitamist, Op-
posed all constitutional bills. He attacked
the Republic and Empire, urged the res
tOratiOn Of Monarchy, and declared his
party would vote in favor Of granting
Marshal MacNahOn only the means
necessary 20 preserve order. He attempted
70 read the letter Of Prince Bismarck dur
ing the Arnim trial, in which the Pfesident
stated thEt-a molanchy would strengthen
the public credit and enable France to
form an alliance. This created great ex-
citement in the Chamber. The reading
was interrupted, and the Speakers voice
was drowned by shouts from all parties.
The sitting closed without vote.

SENATOR LOGAN quoted the case Of
General Jackson at New Orleans as
justifying Phil Sheridan, saying: sOne
man was made President for making
New Orleans behave itself" Such an
utter perversiOn Of history should not

blunder. Jackson may have been

into making New Orleans behave it.

rest Of a legis lator and of a Judge who
issued a hobeas corpus on behalf of the
legislator, After the battle, Jackson
himself abolished martial law, and the
ofehded Judge, on resuming his bench,
lad the hero arrested for contempt,
and fined him 81, 900. With the laurels
of victory fresh upon him, the idol of
New Orleans, Jackson appeared, ac-
knowledged the supremacy of the civil
law, and paid the fine out OF his own
pocket. 1t was long years after that
Congress voted to reimburse the
sturdy hero.

SALT LAKE, Nov. 21.-Anotber snow
slide occurred in Big cottonwood canon
yesterday afternoon near the Richmond
mine. A party of men with teams, en-
gagged in shaking down ore in raw hides,
were caught by he slide, and six men were
carried away, and their bodies have not yet
been recovered. Two o hers were carried
away and covered with snow, but they
were dug ont afterwards and their lives
saved. The slide extended for a distance
of about one mile, and was about
two hundred yards wide. Yesterday the
bodies Of six persons, killed by the snow
slide in the city of Alta, were recovered.
Many more are supposed to have perished,
but their bodies are covered to a great
depth by snow, and probably will not be
found for some time. In one demolished
house was found the body Of Mrs. Garry,
sitting in a rocking chair, with an infant
clasPed in her arms, and near them the
husband and little girl. All had been
suttOcated by snow. At another house
one man was dug ont alive,
and another man who had
been sleeping beside him in bed was dead.

vicinity. There is terror in these mining
camps, and most of those who can get
away will probably leave, but this is a
difficult and dangerous undertaking, as
parties will have to walk and run the
