A BILL has been reported by Mr.. Morri-
son Of the Ways and Means committee, in
Congress-. which if passed is calculated
to bankrupt our woelen aud cotton facto.
ries, and TO reduce the internal revenue.
TEe daty is maintained on raw wool in the
interests of agriculturists, and reduces the
tariff on manufactured wool to the detrl-
ment of those engaged in spinning ana
weaving. There is a general reduction In
cotton goods.
1t is claimed thai the present tariff is
prohjbitory on some things, and that the
reduction of rates will increase importa-
ton and enlarge the revenue. Suppose
the revenue does increase by this reduc-
ton. We shall buy more goods abroad
and get deeper in debt to Europe, and will
take all our gold to pay the balance of
trade.
1t is further proposed to put a duty on
tea and coffee, which we do not raise in
this country. That is the way Democra-
cy works it, destroys the laborers' means
of livelihood, and increases the cost of his
food. If the Democratic House is going to
reduce our expenses 100000 we do not
need an increase of revenue unless they
calculate to furnish new spoils for their
party if they come into power. We have
enough complaints of the extravaganza OF
the Government, and now these Democrats
want more money 10 excite politicians to
new schemes to squander it. Let us econo
mize first and see.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-IIon. W. L..
Morrison, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, has finally decided to
revise the tariff aud make it a revenue
measure and strip it ofits protective features.
INCOME TAX.
He also favors return to the income tax,
exempting all small incomes, but creating
a five per cent. tax on all large incomes
These features, he thinks, will be very
popular in the southwest, in whose interest
the present House seems TO be desirous of
acting. He takes the broad ground that
the West must be allowed to but where
they can get the cheapest goods.
WORD OF WARNING.
The managers of industries which are re-
ceiving any benifits from the present tariff
will need to keep sharp lookout, as this
movement is assuming very formidable
proportions.

.sTHE Centennial appropriation passed
the House on Tuesday. The vote stood
146 for it and $50 against it. Mr. Stenger
voted against it. Packer forgot all about
il and wasn't there ''-iSelinSgrOre Times.
The reason that Mr.. Packer ''was not
there'' was, that he was engaged at that
time in arguing very important case be-
fore the Supreme Court. in Philadelphia.
Had he been there, he would have voted
for the bill, as would any other liberal
minded, patriotic and intelligent man.-
Even the Southern Democrats, the intelll-
gent Confederate members Of Congress, in
a spirit of forgiveness and forgetfulness of
the past voted for the bill. But Weirick,
of the Times, will never forget or forgive
the defeat Of his confederate friends, and
to this day imagines himself the worst
whipped rebel in the Union.

There was horrible murder Saturday

better atmosphere thereafter. Certainly

The Arrapahoes, who have been South

THERE seems to have been some pecu-
liar Democratic manipulation at the recent
election for United States senator in Ken
lucky. The caucus lasted upwards of six
hours, and the Williams men openly ac-
cused the Beck party of attempting to buy
voters. One man, who said he would not
support Beck, was hissed, and left The
caucus. Mr.. La Rue, when the chairman
refused to entertain motion to adjourn,
rose in the caucus and withdrew the name
of Williams. He said
In view Of this new departure in parli-
amentary law which we have witnessed, that
has been adopted by this body and its chair
man in view of the fact that parties are
voting in this caucus who, by their own
declaration, are no Democrats in view of
the fact that voices, - sit down." ''go
on;' in view, sir, of all these things in
view of the shameless tyranny that has
characterized the rulings in this body and
the expressions exerci sed over q minority 4,
in view of the unblushing oversteping of all
rules of propriety IN view Of the fact that
members have been denied the privileges
of the floor in view of the fact that the
caucus will insist upon organizing and rum
ming upon one principle and supporting one
man in view of the fact that the result has
been thrust upon us in view Of all these
facts and outrages, take it upon myself
to announce on the part of General John
S. Williams, the gentleman whom l had
the honor to name for the position Of sena-
tor, that he is no longer a candidate for
that position, neither here or before the
general assembly. The Democrats may
nominate whomsoever they Please. We
will no longer remain on the track TO be
throttled and cheated out of the rights of
ireemen and Democrats.
This is certainly very fine send of for a
Kentucky Democra: TO give his party
Mr.. Befk viii probly so into the senate
feeling proud of his great reform" victory.

OUR HARRISBURG LETTER.
HARRISBURG, Pa, |
Feb. 2, 1876.


The reception given by the Governor on
last Thursday evening far surpassed any.
thing of the kind that has been given in
this city for years. The parlors were lill-
ed with the elite of this and neighboring
cities, and scattered through the room were
many distinguished pers onuges, all wear
tunes of the ladies were of the most costly,
and elegantly gotten up style, whilst the
gentleman with their swalow-tai coats,
and various colored gloves added much to
the beauty of the occasion. Dancing was
the prominent feature ofthe evening, which
was participated in by old and young
| Business in tie legislative halls is smooth
ly going on, with fair indications that an
early adjournment is one of the many
things unknown in the category of Demo

resolution to adjourn early in March, but

can aide in the House, the Democrats with

certainly no occasion for long session,
but the idea has agreeably struck few
Democratic members that by remaining
their fifty days allotted to them by law, at
the rate of ten dollars per day, they can
make five hundred dollars, which b.; going
home they aver they certainly could not
do. This extra time will cost the State an
additional expense of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, and by the very party
who prate so much of reform and retrench-
ment.
THE Conspiracy Bill' passed third
reading in the Senate, its provisions are
such that labOrers, wOrkingmeE, aud Jour
neymen from certain prosecution indict-
ments tor conspiracy, under the criminal
laws of this commonwealth, and places a
construction that lawful or peacdful mean
shall not be regarded as hindering those
who desire to labor.
The act confirming additional favors up
on the boroughs of this commonwealth,
gives in addition to the powers already
granted the right and authority to regulate
license, or prohibit theatrical exhibitions,
concerts, circuses, shows etc. within the
limits of said boroughs, aud also gives
them discretion to regulate the erection of
frame or wooden buildings. The power
for the enactment of such laws is vested in
the councils of said boroughs. This act
has already passed the Senate and meets
with much favor on all sides, with assur-
ance of becoming law.
The Board of pardons met yesterday
noon, but transacted no business owing TO
the absence of some of the members of the |

the part of some of the officers constituting |
this board, to absent themselves at the
prescribed time designated for meeting. |
