THE TARIFF BILL.

The senate has passed revised
tariff bill, which is now in the house,
where the question as to its success
is extremely doubtful. The attempt
to pass a bill reducing the internal
revenue by suspension of the rules
on Monday having failed, unless the
senate bill should pass there is no
hope for any revenue reduction the
present session. The bill as it goes
to the house goes to the speakers
table, and two-thirds vote will be
necessary in order to reach it this
session. This can only be done next
Monday. To pass the bill without
placing it in the hands of a confer
ence committee will take two-thirds
vote, and the alternative is regarded
as an extremely dangerous one. The
demand for tariff reduction is such
that it now looks probable that two
thirds vote in favor of the measure
may be secured from union of thu
moderate men on both sides of the
house. To achieve this result, how
ever, there is need of more concer
of action than has thus far beer
shown during the discussion.

The Journals correspondent at Brad

run it as an independent paper. This
means that he will get the reading
public of the City of Churches to
abandon their old favorite. By thus
cutting his nose off to spite his face,
he'll reduce his profits in the Eagle
to nothing but will make it up by
success on the Union. He succeeded
McCloskey, the mailman who after
wards committed suicide and who by
his Copperhead editorials nearly got
up riot in the early days of the war.
T. K, whose amorous and other adj
ventures are notorious, couldn't get
his own way on the Eagle and was
bound to have it somewhere else.
Talking of Copperheads, it is a
ludicrous fact that one of the promi-
nent directors of the fund for raising
soldiers monument in Brooklyn
is David M. Stone, Editor of the
Journal Of Commerce, who was i'm
prisoned in Fort Lafayette for pub
fishing the famous (or infamous)
Bogus proclamation, and who was
forced by that most dangerous of all
mobs, a well-dressed mob of brokers,
to hoist an American Flag over his
building after one of his obnoxious
editorials. They gave him fifteen
minutes before they hanged him out
of his own windows, and as he had
no such article on the premises there
was some tall scratching around by
his friends, who borrowed a flag just
| in time to save his neck.

1t is gratifying to know that Con-
gress has at last agreed to send back
the japanese indemnity, The money
was paid to the United States under
constraint and to compensate for
imaginary damages. The effect of
the bill now agreed upon is to return
to Japan the original sum received
from that Government (S785, 000,)
without interest, to pay the officers
and crews of the Wyoming and the
Tia Kiang $4,000, and to cancel
all the bonds comprising the Japan
csc indemnity fund. AS this money
has been invested, and our Govern
ment has drawn interest and princi-
pal should be returned, the whole
sum being about 81 800, 900.

The effect of this would have been to
close debate on the tariff bill, but the
democratic members at once made
points of order against the motion,
holding that all tax and revenue bills
are TO be considered by classes and
not by sections. The discussion
was cut off by eulogies upon the late
Representative Skackelford of North
Carolina. It has been wisely. sug-
gested that in the future the delivery
of eulogies on deceased senators and
members should in all cases take
place at special session to be held
on Sunday. Congressman will con-
tinue to die, but it is hardly just that
the interests of the whole nation be
set aside, even for an hour, because
of these occurrences. 1t had been
thought that absolute free trade was
well represented in congress, but
this has proved a great mistake, there
being only theoretical free traders
now, every man having become a
protectionist as soon as any little in.
terest IN his own state was assailed.
They may be divided into two classes
though-the logical protectionists,
who are in favor of making the pro-
lection general, and including every
material interest that demands as
sistance regardless of whether it ex-
lists in many states or only one; the
other class of protectionists believe
in protecting their own sections and
constituents, and deny protection to
the sections and constituents of 9TH
er senators and members.
The criminal court room has been
crowded for the past few days with
an expectant throng, curious to hear
what Rerdell can tell about Dorsey
and Brady, his late confederates CO.
defendants in the Star Route cases.
His testimony explains and corrobo-
rates much that has gone before.
The governments case has been
clinched so firmly that legal ingenuity
and ability cannot undo it, while the
defendants are sick with a sickness
that can neither be concealed nor
mistaken.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS OF THE MONITOR


Washington, Feb. 10.
Washington fell asleep last night |
to the lullaby of a pelting rain, but
while it slept the rain succumbed to
a driving snow storm, and it awoke
this morning to find itself beautifully
attired in a robe of immaculate white.
The city has been so long deluged
with rain, saturated with mist, and
blinded by fog that everybody is sick
and languishing for sniff of undult-
Grated pure air. During the week
the sun has succeeded in penetrating
the dense pail of clouds only two or
three times momentarily, just to give
assurance of his continued existence,
but never remained long enough to
inspire confidence in his power to
permanently dispel the gloom:
While the people appreciate fine
weather quite as much as ever, they
have learned through habit that they
can exist without and even be enter
tanned, SO they no longer expect any
thing better, and have resigned them
selves good-naturedly to the triseful
they just put on gossamers, rubbers,
and umbrellas, and wade two miles
if necessary. They do not think it
too trying even to stand in line on
the sidewalk for hours during driv
ing rain, waiting their turn on the
opening morning for the sale of opera
tickets. The Washington public
does not have an opportunity of list
ening to italian opera every week,
and the sale of tickets for the season
beginning tonight has been at I'M
prcedently exorbitant prices. The
incompatible Patti will sing but
twice during the week for $4,000 =!
She has never sung oftener, which is
the secret of wonderful preservation
of her voice. She has never been
heard here, and the curiosity in re-
gard to the ''greatest living soprano
amounts to popular craze. There
was regular stampede for seats for
''Patti nights" few persons feeling
they could survive failure to hear a
few strains, at least, of that world
famed voice.
Both houses of congress are in a
chaotic state on the tariff question
which is difficult to describe. They are
simply doing nothing, unless killing
time can be considered occupation
: The senators and members whose
terms expire with the present con.
gress have no incentive to hard work
1 because they have no future but pri
} vate life, while those who have beer
, reelected feel that since they have &
e future in which to atone or to carve
they can afford to let matters go easy
i for the few remaining days of the
f session Mr.. Haskell of Kansas
: raised little breeze ip the hous,
e Saturday afternoon by motion t.
e limit all debate on the pending sec
ton of the tariff bill to one hour

We notice that Gen. Grout made a
sharp little speech in the few minutes
allotted him on the bill for the divi-
sion of Dakota into two territories.
The generals argument was clear
and unanswerable, so far as the facts
relative to the convenience and neces-
sity of the division is concerned
but the democrats, headed by ex-
Speaker Randall, opposed the meas
ure, fearing that there was a little
too much republican timber in that
section to have control of two terri
tories which ultimately will ask adj
mission as states. They fought the
general vigorously but he seemed to
be able to maintain his ground both
in argument and repartee.
