TARIFF IN
Democratic Division and Revival
of the Eaton Bill.
Special 70 the Now York Herald ]

Special to the New York Herald
Democratic leaders in both houses
Of Congress appreciate the threatened
conflict within the party over the tariff
question, and will do everything in
their power to prevent it. 1t is GER
tain that, besides Mr.. VOORHEES,, two
or three, if not more. Democratic
Senators from the South and West, as
well as several Representatives, are
disposed to make speeches during the
coming session, openly r%epudiating the
tariff for revenue only" plank in the
last Democratic platform. These gen-
tlemen claim that they will have a
very large following 10 the South aud
many supporters in the West. Other
leading Democrats 10 Congress are as
pronounced in favor OF free trade, and
shouldt the discussion be begun the split
would be a vide one. With the hope
Of preventing this the Eaton scheme
Of appointing a tariff commission
will be revised during she opening
days Of the session. If the Hill is not
introduced by the Republicans it viii
be by ex Speaker Randall or some
equally prominent Democrat. 1t is
believed that it will be passed without
prolonged discussion. The last Senate
was in favor Of it By a considerable
majority and a careful canvass Of the
next House makes the friends of the
measure confident that it will be
promptly passed. A majority OF the
Ways and Means Committee, whoever
may be elected Speaker, will probably
be In favor Of the bill. and it is
thought it may be passed very soon az
ter the Christmas recess. Tho Demo
cratic idea is to have a commission Of
nine members to be appointed BY the
President, with directions to submit
at least a preliminary report by the LIST
of May at the latest. 1t is thought
that after full and public discussion
the recommendations Of the commits.
sion will form a basis for satisfactory
revision Of the present tariff laws.
1t seems probable that the efforts Of
the leading Democrats from the East
and South in Congress will be mainly
directed to forcing a large reduction Of
internal revenue taxes.

The assassin has a hard road to
travel. His o~yerweening egotism is
only surpassed by his deep criminalIty
aud innate meanness. The game he
is playing is bold and audacious. No
man Of less vanity would attempt it.
He is willing to be considered insane
provided he has notoriety andth name
Of being a sharp fellow. In the cross
examination Friday he was so
closely cornered that he became terri
bly, excited and appealed to the court
for protection. When the examina-
ton was oyer. he looked worsted and
worn out. lie has been allowed a
latitude and freedom of speech rarely,
if ever, before seen in a criminal
trial. He acts more like a prescott
ing attorney than a criminal on
trial. If he had maintained a
logged silence it would have been
better for him than the display of SO
much ingenuity and brain power. His
aggressiveness has broken down some
Of the maudlin sympathy hat was
growing up in his behalf. But for his
burning, swelling sense of self impor-
lance be might have adopted a course
that would have led him to the
lunatic asylum. As it is he pays
the role of an inspired fanatic in
which he cea display his learning, his
powers of memory aud general &C.
complishmentl and abilities. AS the
trial progresses and the road to the
gallows seems to lead down a more
direct road, it would not be surprising
to see him throw off this disguise aud
put on the safer and easier mantle of
idiocy.

The following Characteristic note
from The Fisherman's Club" Of
which Mr.. Logan was a member, was
received with a handsome silver water
service:
"MR. Il. G. LOGAN, NOMINEES Mat
rimonial:' 1t is we'll known that a
fisherman, though surrounded with
water, like Tantalus of old, sometimes
gets very dry. II is TO be expected,
therefore, that when be becomes a
ffth-Aoo man he must sometimes
get even more dry. Now, there are
two kinds Of dryness; the one is before
taking the other after taking The
one calls for a 'thimble full only, but
Of something stronger than water; the
other demands water, water, water, by
the pint, by the quart, and, if a man
be very long, by the gallon. Having
been heretofore more or less in the
before taking state, and marriage
being generally the turning point in a
mans life and habits, we suppose you
will soon enter upon an after taking
experience. Yeu will please, there
fore, accept the accompanying modest
expression of sympathy from us. 1t
was suggested by some fellow of the
baser sort as a sort of quencher.
We tender you and your fair lady
our heartiest congratulations. You
have been a congenial companion to
us. We all feel that your worth Of
heart, head and address merit success
in life, and none will fellow your
career with more interest than your
friends,

thing that the nag OF a foreign country
should be borne through the streets OF
London, from the Guildhall 10 Vest
minister and back again, with aguard Of
honor attending it, and cheers accom-
panyiDg its progress. One writer, in
deed, intimates that thepageant was a
puzzle to people in general. The
American banner, he says, was re-
ceived respectfully; but the more de-
monstrative portion Of the spectators
did not seem quite TO understand what
it meant.
THE general impression is quite
different from that. Whoever con-
ceived the notion of doing honor to
the stars and stripes took care that
his intention should be evident to
everybody. The flag was carried just
before tho Sherisfs in their State car
riages, and Just after the officers of the
Corporation of London. The drums
and flies Of the City Of London Regi-
ment supplied music for it, and
a company of sergeants detailed from
the same regiment escorted the flag,
carried BY three watermen in the
quaint costume of the Doggett coat
and badge. The people did the rest.
Individually, remarked one journal,
it was the cheers of the populaoe
which turned what was a civic and
municipal and unofficial honor paid TO
America into national one, AT every
point OF the route the appearance OF
the famous ensign OF the States was
the signal for bursts of cheering,
which were especially noticeable in
the city. by st. Martins Church and
the New Law Courts, at Charinp
Cross, and opposite the Houses Of
Parliament and Westminster Bridge.
From time TO time the bands
played The Star Splangled Banner,
which is described as a we'll known
strain, but which, really, | fear, is not
familiar to the majority of London
ers. At one point, beyond doubt, the
air was recognized, and that was at
the baggage express office and reading
room which reioices in the lofty title
ofthe American Exchange in Europe.
This enterprising concern loses no OPP
portunity Of advertising itself to the
universe. 1t came to the front on the
occasion ola Lord Mayors show with
the same eagerness its managers
showed on the occasion of the Presi-
dents funeral. What happened at
the time of the funeral was an out
rage on cverybody's feelings. The
display ofyesterday was merely vulgar,
Both contributed to the notoriety Of
the establishment. There seems to
have been Americans Of the female
sort who thought it the right thing
to stand on q balcony in the face of a
grinning crowd, and wave little flags.
The English papers are good natured,
aud abstain from comments on this
performance. They content them
selves with reporting it. 1t would be
too much TO expect that Engliahmen
should not ridicule it in private. Il
there are any vacant ~postofiices in the
extreme West, | respectfully suggest
to President Arthur the expediencJ
of offering them to the staff, of the
American Exchange in Europe"

THE SUNSET AND SOUTHERN

Progress of the Two ROads-A
Rough Country.

San Antonio Express, Nov. 29.l
Capt. w. N. Monroe, in charge Of
construction on the Sunset. is in the
city, having just returned from Capt.
Hoods camp on the Pecos Capt.
Monroe says the Sunset extension is
now two miles west Of the Neuees,
which is one hundred and two miles
from San Antonio. Construction pro-
crosses slowly at present on account Of
the lack Of sufficient ties to keep the
forces at work. By the first Of De-
GENDER, ties are expected to arrive
more rapidly, and then a mile day
can be laid until Devils river is
reached. Capt. Monroe Us that he
was informed by Capt. Heod that
track-laying is progressing at the rate
Of two and a half miles a day on the
Southern Pacific, which will be Kept
up at this rate for the next hundred
miles, when the delay OF heavy grad
ing will cause the work to go on moro
slowly. 1t is thought that not more
than a mile per day will be built until
the road reaches Eagles Nest, and
from Devils river to Elgle's Nest i.
nearly all rock work. This is about
fifty miles in point Of distance, and
Major Converse is letting this work
out by contract, expecting to have il
completed by the time the Sunset
reaches the Pecos. There are two
tunnels, one OF nine and the other of
six hundred feet, in this rough region.
They are both Just east Of the Pecos,
and through solid rick. Capt Mon
roe says the work to be done between
river aud the Pecos is the
toughest between San Antonio and
San Francisco.

is supposed to have pursued, utterly
regardless of the pain he was intict-
ing on the loving heart Of his wife:
SDuring the %sojourn Of Fee and his
wife in the city, they appeared to be
extremely happy in each others
society, and Fee passed more OF hls

he made to her that he was going

Mrs. Fee arrived home yesterday
morning, and is now at the residence
of her parents on Green street, between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth. She is
greatly distressed over the absence OF
her husband, and when the reporter

ever, submitted to an interview, and
stated that Mrs. Fee had no other
opinion than hat her husband was
murdered. =,

Re- reapers of life's harvest.
Why stand with rusted blade
Until the night draws round thee
And day begins to fade?
Why stand ye Idle, waiting
For reapers more TO come?
The golden mora Is PASSING;
Why stand ye idle, dumb?
Thrust in jour sharpened sickle,
Aud gather in the grain;
The night Is fast approaching,
And moon will come again.
The Master calls for reapers,
And shall He call In vainl
Shall sheaves lie thore unRathered,
And waste upon tho plain!
Mount up the heights OF wisdom,
And crush each error low;
Keep back no words of knowledge
That human hearts should know.
Be faithful TO thy mission.
In service 0 thy Lord,
And then . golden ohapiet
Shall be thy Just reward.
