FROM WASHINGTON

Especial Correspondence Of tho Alexandria Gazette.
WASHINGTON. y. c., February ,, 1885,
The Senate and House to-day were again
on the tariff bill, the chemical schedule in
the latter and the cotton goods one in the
former. In the House the Eastern MANU-
tactnrers wanted hot only to reduce the
duty on the extract OF hemlocl,, oak and
other woods but 10 put them on the free
list, but their efforts were defeated and the
present duty uf ~ per cent was retained
The opinion about the passage of tariff
bill at this session is beginning 10 change a
little i'll consequence OF the progress that
Las been made recently Il is sud that this
tariff is the expiring effort OF Mr.. Kelley in
he House and Mr. Morrill, in the Senate
and that they will leave nothing undone to
secure Its passage. Then, too, there's some
talk to the effect that no matter what sort
If Il bill is passed, it must of necessity make
many enemies, who will hold The republi-
an majority responsible, and that in order
to produce this effect enough democrats
VINO are really opposed TO the bill will vote
l.r it to secure its passage. There are many,
how ever, who still insist that the session
Will expire before any tariff bill is passed.
II is said to-day that Senator Window
who has failed Of re. election viii be made
president of the Georgia and Mississippi R.
r., in which he is already heavily interested,
and by which Senator Brown and cx Sena

A STRICT construction Of the existing Con-
stitution, and its proper amendments. nc
cording to the forms prescribed by itself, are
what this country has TO place its chief re-
lance for its future prosperity and happi-
ness All the evils that have fallen upon
the country have resulted from what was
termed liberal construction of the or
ganic law Of the land and future evils can
only he successfully avoided by paying strict
obedience to its letter and spirit and by
amending it in accordance with its own
provisions. That ii does require amend
ment every reasonable and wcll-informcd
citizen must ne aware. This requirement
is the natural result Of The growth of the
country, and was provided for by those who
framed the instrument. Among the first
amendments that ought to be made should
be one curtailing the duties Of the President
who is now entrusted with the performance
Of impossihil!ticS. lie is required for in
stance to see that he laws be faithfully OK
ecutcd. Now while that was possible when
the county was composed of thirteen
srarScly settled States, no human body. 10
say nothing of mind is equal TO the task in
country of y-odd millions Of people
and which extends from Alaska to Florida
aud from Maine 10 New Mexico. The nc.
cessity of other amendments j. equally a.
patent.
