GEN. LEES COMING.
Arrangements Progressing for the GEN.
tieman's Reception.

The committee of citizens constituted to
make arrangements for the reception OF
Gen. Fiizhugh Lee. met yests,day afternoon
in the Office of Judge G. w. Heiskell. Thos /,
present were: Mi. Hampton, Gen. W.. Y.C.
Humes, Judge Q. w. HeiskelI, Gen. G.. W.
Gordon, Mr.. Napoleon Hill, Mr.. Fl. A. Ham
ilton Judge E. S. Hammond, Capt. I. F.
Tobiu, Judge Pierce, Gen. A. J. Vaughan.
Col. Capers, Col. w. F. Taylor, Mr.. r. B.
Snowden, Judge w. l.. Clapp and Gen. Col
ton Greene.
On motion, Judge C. W. Heiskell was
called to the chair.
Gen. Gordon read report froua the Com
mittee on Banquet. He suggested that
banquet be dispensed with, as he thought
Gen. Lee would prefer someih hing substantial
in the way of aid for the Southern Histori-
cal Society.
The General Committee, through the
chairman, Capt. Tobin, reported that the
Iheater had been secured for the 18th of
March,, Suggestions as TO receiving Gen.
Lee and as TO the prices Of admission to the
lecture were made by the committee.
Judge Hammond said that il was not an
easy matter to get the people of Memphis TO
90 to lectures. 1t was not lecture-going
people. The Hon. Mr.. Washburn had lee.
tured here 10 a handful of people.
Another gentleman cited on the other
hand the lecture of Henry Ward Beecher,
which had attracted $500 people.
That" said another gentleman, "was be.
cause he was managed by Memphis Lee
ture Bureau, headed by Tracy, who took
personal interest in the success of the lee
ture"
The committee decided not TO give ban
quet. The admission prices to the lecture
were placed at 81, fifty cents and twenty five
cents.
A committee OF three, consisting OF Messrs.
Gordon, Hill and Taylor, was appointed 10
raise fuuda to have Gen. Lee comfortably
entertained at the hotel and while he was in
the city.
Ihs meeting then adjourned, subject 10 the
call of the chairman.

Hszeltine and W. P. Williams, of the second

fourth classes, except those qusrtered on the
Santee, are restored to privileges of their

IN cheering when not in ranks. 1t leaves the

FROM the news from Washington this
morning it is fair to conclude that the tariff
bill will not pass. Thepresident of the Senate
cannot find Democrats 10 serve on the Joint
Committee of Conference since Messrs. Bay
ard aud Beck resigned, and unless the
whole committee is present 10 de-
eide upon the points in difference
no report can be made. The whole country
will rejoice at this, because even as it Was
amended it was an ubiquitous measure, pre-
pared solely with view to the demands OF
the monopolists in whose interest the Re-
publican party has been run for years. The
next Congress will be more competent to
deal with the tariff and the internal revenue
QUESTION: A majority Of its members were
elected with some reference to the reform Of
both, and know better what the people want
than the Congress which will expire at u
O'Clock on Sunday next.

VAN VooRHIs. Of New York, made mar.
row efcspe Of expulsion from the Hou,e yes
terday. He descended to the profoundeyt
depths Of blackguardism when he said, with
the force Of a whitehead passion, that no
one but gambler and cut-throat would vote
for the $4,000 appropriation for the i'm
provement of the Sacramento river, and
that it would not have been offered had the
chairman not been from California. Mr..
Mclean, The gentleman thus referred to,
promptly had the words noted and moved
ioS the immediate expulsion OF Van
Voorhis, who, after the iDterces-
sion OF his friendp, made a parliamentary
apology and the affair was passed over. This
should not have been done. The man who
cannot school his passions and keep them
under control has no business in the halls Of
legislation. The man who cannot set an ex-
ample Of obedience 10 law should not be per-
mitted 10 make laws. He is not safe guide.

THE TARIFF CONFERENCE.
NO RESULT REACHED ON THE MAIN POINTS At

ISSUE.
WASHINGTON March 1.-The Conference
Committee or the tax and tariff bill ad-
iourned at midnight until $50 o'clock am.
tomorrow, leaving all of the most impor
tant points of the controversy in regard TO
the tariff rates still unadjusted. The prin-
cipal items upon which the committee failed
to reach an agreement during their pro-
lopged sessions this afternoon aud
evening, IRE iron Bsfsamer steel and
steel rails, wool, cotton, sugar and
esrtheRware. The changes thus far
made in the schedules as adopted by the
Senate, aside from aforementioned items,
are SO slight as 70 cul no figure in the work
of recoDciliug the important disagreement of
opinion that still exist in the Committee OF
Conference. The high proteciouists made
concessions throughout the consideration of
the bill, although in dealing with the iron
schedule and also in regard to wooden manu-
f4clurers, there was an effort to hold rates
up to pretty nearly the fgares of the House
bill.
Senator Sherman made an earnest speech,
in which he urged his fellow-senators on the
committee to aoceds 10 the wishes of the
House members, saying il w,s practically
Senate bill, and as such, when in the Confer
enes Committee, the senators ought 10 ex-
peci th2t the House will insist on modi6ca-
tons, and it was fair to concede TO the House
confarees that right. In this liberal express
sion Senator Sherman was joined by
Senator Malone. The chairman, Senator'S
Morrill,, AIdrich and MeDiil favored the
lower rates, and in voting they were
lined by Mr.. Carlisle. In nearly
all differences thes committee was divided
as between the Sena and House members
until toward the close, when Senators Sher-
man aud Malone showed an inclination 10
join with the House conierees. l. is thought
even by some members OF the Conference
Committee that the chances for agreement
