TARIFF COMMISSION.
Spripger'> Argument Against the Bill
EIackbnrn's speech -hcnna Defines
His Position.


Spccicl DispGtch 10 the Register.
WN,HlNGroN. May THE House spent
most OF the day in discussing the Tariff
Commission. Mr.. Springer, ot Illinois,
made an elaborate speech. He pointed out
the great surplus of revenue now being col
lected by the government, amounting to
$I5u.UuOu0O a year, and insisted that in-
stead OF increasing the tariff it should bc
reduced. He showed the effect OF the re-
cent protective tariff law in Germany. and
produced statistics to show the distress pro
duced i'm that country immediately after
the law went into effect, and showed that
the tide of immigration TO this country has
increased con per cent. owing to the reduc-
ton OF wages and the increased cost OF
living incident TO the adoption OF the pro-
tective tariff law of January l, 1850. He
spoke i'm the interest OF agriculturiStS,
showing from recent and yet un'
published statistics from the Census Bu-
rrau the wonderful productions Of the
country. especially in the west. He also
presented an exhaustive review Of the
effects OF the tariff of 1861, on wool, and
showed from tables of the price of wool for
fifteen years previous TO the passage OF the
act Of 1861, and for the fifteen MarS sue
c,eding, that the price OF woOrhaS been
1 G.IO cents less per pound on the average
since the law want into effect than it was
during the fifteen years preceding that
time ard that this loss amounts TO nearly
S~U00. OOO a year, and that the general aggre-
gate of the loss by the reduction of the pro-
,ective tariff is over Sll7,OOOOOO. He ac-
counted for this reduction from the fact
that the demand fer wool by the manu-
faCturers greatly fell off Immediately after
the law went into effect, the decreased de-
mand for the first year amounting to S54,-
to-, The effect OF this was greatly to de-
press prices. from which the trade had not
wholly revived by this time. He also
showed the immense reduction in the num-
Der of sheep, caused by the tariff laws, in
the States east Of the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, rivers since the act took effect, being
over one-hali. The number of sheep shown
by the census OF lSS0 in these States is less
than fifteen millions He concluded by
recommending the adoption as immediate
means OF relief, Of the plan proposed by
Mr.. Hewitt of removing a. far as possible
the duties on raw materials and consequent
reduction on manufactured products He
opposed the appointment of q commission,
and urged immediate action at this session
Of Congress. He advised conservative
measures, and recommended no reductions
that would disturb the business interests
Of the country, but only such as would pre-
vent depression and secure prosperity.
Mr.. Burrows followed on behalf of the
bill, making very creditable argument.
Blackburn followed Burrows in one oi
his brilliant speeches which fairly electri-
ied the House. He criticised the Ways

OF pleading the baby act in failing to meet
the questions fairly, and throwing this i'll
considered bill into the House. He de-
clared the present tariff was one for ''pii-
lage and robbery" and that the passage OF
the pending bill was TO part forever with
Congressional power over the system OF
taxation. The bill was hasty, dangerous
and unconstitutional. He did not want
the sovereign power of the government to
be doled out to a lot of irresponsible imbe-
Giles and broken down political hacks. He
closed with an eloquent peroration, ex-
pressing his hopes for the future prosperi-

was by direct legislation, yet would vote
for the pending bill as the only measure

WAsHINGToS, May S.-The recently issued
statement of the condition OF the public
treasury, is one that should receive the
attention of the taxpayers of the country.
From Il, it appears that the receipts Of the
Government from all sources during the
nine months ending March 81, 1851 were
S2c6, 5000; the aggregate expenditure OF
the same period S204 OOO, 900, leaving a sur
plus Of ST., 600 O0O in round numbers. For
the nine months ended March 81, lSs2, the
aggregate receipts were S3OOOOO,O 900, the
aggregate expenditures SI95, ,OOO, 600 leaving
a surplus of SlO5, 100000 for the nine
months ending with the mOnth of March
last The Improvements boastfulfy spoken
of consists, therefore, in the fact that
the Government has taken from the
pockets OF the people $I2,OJ0,0OO
in taxes not necessary for the
tArrent Government expenditures in the
nine months of the current fiscal year more
than il took in the corresponding nine
months of the last fiscal year. The Gov
eminent has iilchcd from the purses Of the
taxpayers $lo5, ,OOJ, ,OO0 in nine months not
needed for the ordinary expenses OF the
Government. including interest on the
public debt and the proper reduction Of its
principal. This will not occur to the
average taxpayer as being an improvement
in the financial condition Of the country. Ii
this rate is maintained throughout the
year I will produce a surplus revenue OF
$1,000, 900; but if the rate Of increase OF
surplus in the nine months mentioned
as compared with the corresponding
months Of the last fiscal year is
maintained there will be q gan OF 5000
uCO for the whole year in the surplus reye-
nue.. This tremendous taxation, whichis
little less than robbery, is demoralizing to
the last degree in addition to being gov
crnmcnt outrage upon the rights Of the
property-owners OF the republic. An
enormous surplus is a condition precedent
to enormous Jobs and stealing. Those who
see in increasing and excessive taxation an
improvement in the financial conduct OF
the government look upon the question OF
taxation not from the standpoint of the
taxpayer An annual increase Of $56,OO0,-
VUU in the surplus revenues OF the govern
ment, which means so much unnecessary
taxation, should be denounced as am out
rage and not praised as an improvement.

THOSE GARFIELD BILLS.
the scandal Again Being Discussed


Special Dispatch TO the Register.
WASHINGTON. May 3.-While it is not
probable the bills for Congressional expens-
es OF GarGcld's funeral will ever be made
public, vet the matter is brought up every
few days. and if they should once see the
light they will create a sensation. Some
things have leaked out about the drunken
ness of some OF the Congressional mourn
ers and the prepOsterous bills presented
for grog. but those who know say that these
are trivial matters compared with Others
which the public has had no intimation OF.
At the examination of these bills, the
other day, there were present Mr. Page, OF
California. Chairman of the sub committee
Mr.. Belfortl. OF Colorado, and Mr.. LeFeyre,
Cf Ohio Sergeant.at.Arms Thompson was
also present to explain the items. The mo-
ment their character became known Cen
eral LeFevre and Mr.. Belford were prompt
TO express their indignation and disgust i'll
the most forcible language. Mr.. Page
agreed with the other members that II
would neysr do under any circumstance to
have these vouchers brought to the atten-
ton Of the country. 1t is whispered that if
some of these bills were made public there
would be necessary several expulSions from
the House and one or two from the Senate.
Members Of the committee all agreed that
under no circumstance would it do to have
these scandals made public. e..

TuSYELrON, W. Va, May 3.-Mr. Samuel
II. Cravton and Joseph \. Burton met with
an exciting adventure and narrow escape
from monster panther, last night. The
above gentlemen were just returning from
Kingwood to Tunnelton. in a blackboard
wagon, and when about two miles south OF
Mr.. John J. Gokes store Mr.. Burton re-
marked that he heard the voice of child
in the branches above few yards ahead.
He had scarcely uttered the remark when the
form of dark object came crushing through
the branches overhead. The gentlemen
at first supposed il TO be piece of falling
tree limb, but tbs frantic struggle OF the
animal in harness and the growing of the
savage panther made them conscious of the
fearful fact. As il fastened its fangs i'll the
withers of the frightened horse Mr.. Cray
ton reached forward with his whip and
struck the animal several blows, which
only served TO enTage it the more, and
sprang at them, but failing to reach it
struck against the dash board and hung
with its paws, the horse in the meantime
kicking vigorously with fright. Mr.. Bur
ton jumped IRON the buggy, secured apiece
of rail, and with rapid blows Iclled the
savage beast TO the earth.
The horse dashed in the fence corner and
became entanglcd in broken harness and
laurel. while the animal endeavored to
crawl away. seemingly somewhat crippled.
Mr.. Crayto renewed the contest with
the piece of fencing and Mr. Burton seized
the pan ther by the tail and pulled it out oL

wounded arm in sling, but both gentle
men consider themselves fortunate in their
