Especial Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette
WARRINGTON, d. c., January 20, 1881
The House to-day resumed the consideration
of the naval appropriation bill, and is likely
to be Oh it for some time, as the Naval Com
mittee think the Appropriations Committee
have not treated them properly, inasmuch
as they have made no appropriation for the
new cruisers recommended by them, and
have attached what they consider inudi-
cious legislation TO the bill.
In the House this morning, Mr.. Robinson
of Massachusetts, complained that the Mis-
sissippi Committee, of which he is a mem
ber suffer ed from cold in consequence of
having no fuel, and the House, in an extray-
agant fit Of lberality, voted to give that
committee one cord of wood. Soon after
another member stated that the bows in the
folding room were half frozen. and again the
House acted like spendthrift and appropri-
ated one ton of coal to thaw them. The
money of the people must not be squandered

In the republican caucus yesterday Mr..
Kasson stated that party or no party the
people Of the country were tired of paying
tribute any longer to the iron manufacturers
of Pennsylvania and to other manufacturers
in the New England States, for whose es-
pecial benefit the protective tariff is con-
tinued. He made a real free ira de
speech, and Notwithstanding the action of
caucus it is said to-day that many of the
western republicans do not consider them
selves bound by it.
The Senate to-day considered the postoflicc
bill until two o'clock, when it again took
up the tariff bill. On the postofiice bill Mr.
Edmunds spoke in favor of postal tele-
graph, but said the way to have it was not
to buy the watercd stock of existing tclc-
graph companies, but to build new lines.
Previous to taking up this bill Mr.. Allison.
republican, took occasion to lecture his
party for the delay in the transaction OF
public business, and to tell them that the
people Of the country would hold them re-
sponsible for it. The provision in the post
office bill for fast mails was retained. With
regard to the tariff ill, while it makes Il
reduction of seVcntyiive millions in the du-
ties, that oftho lIou>c only reduces them to
the cxten OF twenty millions, and 50 great a
difference, ii is thought, can not be recon
ciled. 1t is possible, therefore, as previous
| ly stated in this correspondence, that no
| tariff bill will be passed at this session. I'M
less both houses shall agree to drop their
own bills and adopt that OF the Tariff Com.

GENERAL MAHoNE's Washington organ
says:
when the AFFECT ignorance of the people
is considered it ceases to be wonder that
political virtue and honor are things I'M
known in the South. 1t is not surprising
that that section teens with murder, arson
fraud and crime. Is is not astonishing that
in the faircst parts of the republic treason,
slavery, rebellion and war were Matched
The only wonder is that pirates, bandits ard
outlaws have not taken entire possession of
both land and sea-"
This is cool, to say the least, in paper
printed in city noted for its rapes, abor-
tons, murders, robberies and all manner Of
other crimes where fraud and corruption
are braZen-faced. set the law at defiance
and have the press to sustain them
where the detectives are in cahoot with
criminals, and where infdelity is exalted.
No portion Of the South need fear a
comparison with Washington as relates
to morality; and judging from the cha
racter and frequency of crime, as noted
in the daily press, the South, even with the
ignorance of her negroes, is the more moral
of the two sections into which the country
is divided, and, so far as Massachusetts
represents the North, General Butler says
as much in his recent message.
