The Duty on Knit Goods-Order No 80
Revoked.
In view of the action of the United States
Supreme Court yesterday, in granting leave to
file petition for rehearing in the recently
decided case of Victor ct al. VS.. A. Arthur,
Collector, the Secretary of the Treasury to-day
directed order No. 80 to be revoked. This or
der instructed collectors of customs to assess
all knit goods 30 per centum ad valorem. The
revocation OF the order restores the rates of
duty which were enforced prior to March Doth,
the date upon which the order was issued,
namely, 80 cents per pound specific and 81 per
cent ad valorem. The enforcement of this or
der, as stated heretofore, was strongly protest
ed against by the National Knit Goods Asso-
citation, members Of which were granted
hearing by Secretary Window on Saturday
last The chairman of the executive commit
tee, George G. Bosom, and F. T. Spooner re-
manned in the city after the other members
took their departure, for the purpose of OBJ
tanning leave to file petition, which was
granted by the Supreme Court This morning
these gentlemen were reinforced by number
of members of the association, among whom
were Charles Spencer, John L. Thayer, B.
Allen and Conyers Britton. The delegation,
after an extended and cordial interview with
the Secretary of the Treasury, called upon the
President, whom they assured that the decis-
ion of the Treasury Department. would relieve
not only the manufacturers of knit goods nee
essarily interested in the question, but also
some 100000 persons who are in their employ,
and would have been more or less affected by
the enforcement of the order above referred
to. The delegation and their counsel expressed
themselves grateful for the courtesy granted
them by Government officials and United
States Senators

OPPOSED TO GORHAM.
Reported Letter from the President.

Reported Letter from the President.
NEW YORK, May 3.-A Washington De-
patch to the Philadelphia Times says President
Garfield has sent letter to Senator Dawes, to
the effect that while his sympathy is with his
party in the Senate in the effort to break the
solid South and the encouragement of the in
dependent movement in Virginia or else
where, he cannot indorse the mode adopted by
the Senate nor cooperate in any scheme
which has for its conclusion the elevation of
such man as George Gorham at the expense
of the administration and to the exclusion of
the most pressing and necessary business. He
rehearses the fact that several important treat
les are awaiting their action, that the wheels
OF the Judiciary are blocked, and that his ad-
ministration Isl greatly embarrassed at every
turn, while the Senate of the United States is
wrangling over the election of man who is
daily denouncing him personally. and this
same Administration in his newspaper in this
city. This is the purport of the Presidents
epistle, and very sharp one it is. He winds
up in an appeal to the friends of the Admis-
tration in the Senate to come to his rescue,
break the bonds of faction, and go into imme-
date executive session.

XLVIIth CONGRESS.
senate-Executive Session.

WASHINGTON, May 3.
The Vice President laid the resolution fer
election of officers before the Senate.
Mr.. Davis of West Virginia took the floor
with speech upon the debt question between
the Virginias. In his remarks Mr.. Davis
said while the debt of the Virginias was large
it was not very considerable. 1t was less than
$50 per capita, while the debt of the United
States was double that The rate of taxation
in Virginia was butl50 Cts, while inlNew,Yor k
Brooklyn and Boston it was much higher.
There was an impression that Virginia had
paid very little if any interest on her bonds.
That was great mistake. Virginia had every
year since 1872 paid an average of.439 per cent
on her entire debt. With her present pros
perity Virginia could and would pay her debt
in the future.
Mr.. Dawes-Including West Virginia's
share?
Davis-I speak with confidence when say
that the Virginias and their people will pay
their debts, and the sooner the better, and I
regret very much that my friend from Massa-
chusetts is encouraging party in the old state
that does not want to pay the debt at all.
After short debate on the question of the
debt of Virginia the Senate adjourned till to-
morrow.
