From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 29.--Mr. Carlisle. OF
Kentucky. concluded his splendid tariff
speech to-day, and both sides conccdc 1t
has enhanced his already distinguished
reputation as statesman and debater. He
went largely and incisiyely into the effect
Of the present tariff on labor, contending
that while il protects capital and machinery
it fails to give proper protection and en-
eouragement 10 American labor. This IL
the keynote TO a number OF arguments yet
TO be made by the advocates OF tariff for
revenue. Mfr. Tucker will make an elab-
crate tariff speech in about ten days.
The tarin-commission bill, which passed
the Senate last night, provides Tor COM
mission OF nine outsiders, TO be appointed
by the President and confirmed by the
Senate. They are 10 consider the tariff and
internal revenue and report the first Mon
day in December to Congress. The Vance
giving agriculture and manu-
features their appropriate representation on
the commission, received no Republican
vote except that Of Mr.. Van Wycke. Sem
ator Johnston was among those who voted
"Aye" on il. On the amendment to strike
out internal revenue and make the commits
sion entirely tariff, which was lost, the
% affirmative votes were all Republicans.
Senators Dawes and Willard Of New York
were among the ten Republicans who
voted in the negative with the Democrats.
During the closing debate Senator Allison
said that while the Democrats were in
power six years in the House they failed
to do anything with the tariff. In reply,
Senator Van Wyck Wepubhcan) asked IL
il we're wrong in the Democrats to post
none action for SIX years would ii not also
be wrong in the Republicans now to post
pone reform until next December!
VIRGINIA MATTERS.
Rear Admiral John Rodgers having re-
ported to the House Commerce Committee
that the establishment OF light at the
mouth OF the Great Wicomico river, Vir-
ginia, is not necessary TO the safety OF COM
mcrce and navigation, the committee has
reported adversely to its establishment.
The subject OF Senator Vance's lecture at
Richmond May 9TH for "tbe Governors
Gnard" will be "The Humorous side OF
Politics and Politicians" He will in his
own inimtable way give something OF his
early political experience, and not forget
TO describe the symptoms OF politician
who is about to leave one party and JON
another. General Stith Boiling was to-day
nominated for postmaster at Petersburg.
This will not surprise the readers OF these
dispatches.

at its meeting to-day appointed the follow
ing executive committee: Representatives
Rosecranz, California; Flower, New York
Randall. Pennsylvania; Cobb, Indiana ;
ZONES. Arkansas; lie Fevre, Ohio; Thomp-

UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEY LEWIS.
This morning learned that United States
District Attorney Lewis had written the
President requesting Inn to withdraw his
nomination for the position he now holds
He did this because he intends accepting
The judgeShip Of the Court OF Appeals o.
VIRGINIA, and for the further reason tha
senator Edmunds and few others have
opposed bis confirmation on the grounC
that he fought duel some time since. Ill
confirmation, however, was certain, as Sena
tor Johnston had informed me that the Dem
ocrats would all vote for it and the Ropubll
cans had declared that he would not lose
ereat many Of their senators. This determ
nation will give Mr.. Lewis time to attend t.
his priyate matters before going on the Su
uremc bench Of your State in January.
afterwards asked those who ought to know
who would be his successor, and they .
once said Captain John S. Wise would b
appointed. 1t is in the line OF his pre-
fession, and most desirable position
The President did not to-day withdraw tn
nomination OF Mr.. Lewis, but l know th'
he has been, as stated above, requested
do so by Mr.. Lewis.
