CONGRESS seems to be on the eve OF somO
heavy Sparriug on the tariff question. This
is the purpOrt Of our Washington news this
morning. The iree,traders accuse the tariff
men of desire to avoid discussion, aud
claim that the proposed Tariff Commission
sa mere subtcrtuge to avoid disturbing the
Present schedule Of dutieS. Whether there
is any truth in this accusation will prob.
ably be made apparent in the next few
days. The true friends OF protection ought
not to be willing to rest under any such
imPntation. II there is anything in the
Present tariff that will not bear the fullest
discussion, the country ought 10 know it
We do not wonder ut the steel rail men

ton is the staple Of half the outcry against
The tariff, and they should not bc allowed

wholly ended, Fishburns belongs 10 one
OF the oldest and most respected lamillea in
the State. His energetic opposition to the
frauds OF the Bourbon managers has
estranged many Of his former companions,

ostracism and insult, he, unfortunately,

1t Is alleged that he was under the intiu-

commended for his anxiety TO adjust the
difficulty without bloodshed.

Tne Woes Of Manager HRmIln OF the
Grand Opera House. chicago.
CncAGo, February S.-Manager ]. A.
Hamlin, of the Grand Opera House, flled a
bill in tho County Court, in which he sets
forth, that after having sunk 100000 in
the Opera House, and having lost the
ownership Of it, but with the privilege Of
leasing it from It's present owner, he has
secured the lease TO April, 1883; that hay.
ing taken VIII j. Davis into his employ as
associate manager, he has been betrayed BY
him, as Davis has, by sharp and unworthy
devices, secured the lease OF the property
from the date on which bis (fIamIin' 81 lease
expires.
Mr.. Hamlin claims that the lease so OBJ.
tanned by Davis, while in his employ, must
be held in trust for him (Hamlin) and that
i Is Davis duty to assign to him, which
Davis refused to do. Owing to the insol.
vency OF Davis, Hamlin fears an assign
ment and prays an injunction restraining
negotiation, or oil cancellation OF lease.
Judge Rarnum granted an injunction.
The case is peculiar one, with new legal
phases, and there is great interest in the
result.

Fight KMss0n's Bill.


WASHINGTON, February s.--The New

mittee, on the grounds that it is mere sub
teriugc framed and intended to perpetuate
tho present protective system. They in
tend to make an issue on this bill II the
party can be brought together. A CAUCUS
will be held to map out a line Of action.
A prominent Democratic leader Of the
House says this evening, "Our policy is to
show the iniQuities ot the protectiye sys-
TEN and to expose them-that is, what is
presented in this bill. 4tis nothing more
nor less than scheme to quiet the de-
mani OF the people for tariff reform by 4
pretence OF doing something. The Demo.
Gratis should take determined stand and
maintain it courageously; but the trouble
is, We have few black sheep among us,
who are Just strong enough TO prevent our
doing anything. There are few Demo-
cratic members who are subseryient to
Kelley and the ProteCtionists,and they will
Of course attempt, as they have done hith-
erto, to handicap the Democratic party in
Congress and to prevent It from making a
record in tayof Of tariff reform. l do not
believe they can succeed this time. For
