Proposed Revision of the Tariff.

Proposed Revision of the Tariff.
 C1TY OF MEXICO, July 21.-The govern ment intends to introduce reforms in their tariff laws to facilitate commercial transpor- tations and the enlargement of franchises of importers of foreign goods. The executive has prepared bill which it is intended to present to Congress, asssoon as that body convenes, providing for reform in certain ar ticles of tariff and applying severe penalties on importers caught in the act of evading the laws. The penalties imposed by the execu- tive bill are not in accordance with the de- gree of guilt incurred, but it is equally ap- plicable to cases of evasion of the laws by certain omissions, as by failure to comply with the legal enactments of the bill. Some members of the ways and means committee who still remain in the city, recognizing the injustice of the penalties attached to failure to comply with the provisions of the execu- tive bill, have prepared bill which is called a government bill, and the committee pro- pose, on the converting of Congress, to sub- init it ro that body as substitute for tte ex- ecutive bill. The government bill provides for the regular graduation of guilt with 6 corresponding graduation of penalties for failure to comply with the laws, lessening the penalties now in force and infiicting severe penalties only on evident intention to snug gle and to defraud the government of it's rev enues

Floating i'm inc SOund,

Wednesday morning, as the oyster slool Florence L., of Port Jefferson, was crossing the Sound to Bridgeport harbor, Captain T B. Howslls discovered something floating il the water short distance out of his course Rowing to the place in skiff, he found it tc be the remains of a man, which had been 1T the water so long as to bs unrecognizable The remains were discovered about the mid de of the Sound, and were made fast to tn. sloop and lowed to Bridgeport harbor, wher, the sloop arrived Wednesday afternoon. Int clothing consisted of dark brown pants, gai ters, light stockings and a cotton shirt The features and all the exposed portions oi the body were decomposed and disfgured sc badly that they could not be identified by anyone who had known the man in life. Ii is thought that he must have been some where about twenty eight or thirty years old It is thought likely that the remains may be those of one of the victims of the yacht Sophia disaster. An inquest was held and adjourned. MT. Eddy, the father of one of the victims of the yacht Sophia disaster, came to Bridgeport to see if the remains were those of his son, but from tte clothes decided that they were not. The father of the Ed monston lad. another of the Sophia's victims, was expected yesterday.

Conkling 2s, woodford l. After this vote the convention adjourned.
 A glance at the record shows that during the last fifty years the New York Legislature has adjourned so late as July only in the years 1882 on the 2d and in 1858 on the 21st. In the latter year a recess was had from April 18th to May 24th. !. The Legislature of 1881, therefore, will go upon record as slt- ting later than any Legislature for half century.
 There is apparently no change in the situ- ation tonight. Leading half-breeds say there Is almost a positive certainty of an election tomorrow, but they cannot give a reason for this belief, and it is difficult to see on what 1t is based. The stalwarts say, we will stay here until 31st of December before we will yield point All sorts of rumors are aaoat, but none could be traced to an author itative source.

ANXIOUS FOR HIS SEA VOYAGE.
THE PRESIDENT.

The Hest Day Yet-One of Rapid and Sat- 1sfactory Progress-Cheering Bulletins Some Cloth Discharged From the Wound-The Patients Condition Very Favorable for Recovery.
 WASHINGTON, July 21.-To all appearances the President continues to make substantiaI and rapid progress toward recovery. He be- gins to tire of the restricted diet which has been furnished him since the recurrence of fever on Monday last, but the doctors are still cautious in giving him solid nourish- ment. The Presidents mind is regaining it's tone, and he is manifesting constant interest in matters outside of the sick room. He is disposed to talk of affairs of State, and it has Iatterly been his earnest desire to read the newspaper accounts of the shooting. He is, of course, still weak, but he has very little fever and sleeps better. The healing process which follows suppuration is beginning in a satisfactory manner. He has more strength but does not move about much, as the physi- clans warn him that the effects would be in- furious. He still suffers considerable pain in the legs and his apprehensions that he may be disabled are not yet passed. He is extremely anxious to leave the WnlCe dOuSe, knOW1ng that the COIL dition of the building and it's surround ings is not healthful. His physicians, how ever, cannot give him definite answer to his repeated question, "When can get away?" He still takes large quantities of milk and little wine and spirits. The quantity of the latter taken, however, has been very small not more than pint altogether; this fact should relieve the minds of some of the strict teetotalers who have found fault with his physicians for dosing him with large quanti- ties of wine and rum. He takes few tea spoonfuls only and would prefer not to take any. The only medicine given him is quinine, and this must be done partly to keep off the malaria which arises from the marsh flats almost under the windows of the sick room. His family have now pretty free access to the Presidents bedside and Mrs. Garfield is al- most constantly in attendance. Her affec- tionate and self-sacrifcing care is theme of universal praise The morning bulletin, awaited with the usual interest, brought the following news;
