reporters, one from the Galveston
News and the other from the Houston
Post, interviewed Congressman
John Hancock ut Austin. They

lands course, the Galveston News
policy, etc The congressman has
been sick, but for feeble man he
talked very freely and frankly. He
appears to have unbosomed himself to
the reporters, and they made the most
OF it. Their respective papers came
out next morning full of Congressman
Haucock's utterances, and q rich mud
die they made Of 1t. The man who
reads both papers must either conclude
that there are two John Hancocks in
Austin, or that II there is only one he
is n wonderfully inconsistent man. 1t
is suggestive of "Phillip drunk and
Phillip sober" The chief object of
each reporter appears TO have been to
quote the honorable gentleman as ex-
pressing sentiments in line with the
views and policies of the respective
papers. The result was mass of in
congruities and contradictions that
are absurd enough to be Imaginable.
The John Hancock who talked to the
News reporter speaks of Gov. Ireland
in terms anything but complimentary;
tells what might, could, would or
should have happened if statesman
were occupying the executive chair; is
sorry the Terrell bill did not pass, and

Mr.. Morrison, as chairman of the
ways and means, has completed bill
for tariff reduction which he will soon
report to the house. In general terms
it provides for a "horizontal" reduc-
ton of the revenue20 per cent. of the
present rate.
When this bill is brought before the
house it viii be the beginning of de.
bate that will cover the whole question
of tariff reform. It's introduction will
be the firing of the first gun in the
campaign of 1854. Revenue reformers
and protectionists will join issue on IL,
and each, from their respective stand
points, will assail or defend it. A
strange division of political forces must
mark the contest. There are enough
free-trade Republicans who will sup
port the principles of the bill to con-
vince that party that they cannot OPP
pose it in solid force; and the protec-
ton Democrats who will attack 1t will

United States has displayed a spirit
which, 1T is to be hoped, will find prompt
imitation on thepart of the house ofrep.
resentatives. The present session ofcon.

ter and provide, beyond peradventure,
against such complications as the
country has witnessed in times past.
The GAZETTE, in the opening DAYS of
the session, gave quite lengthy out.

is presumably familiar to the reader
who takes an interest in national poli-
ties, and who keeps up with the cur-

be stated, however, by way of refresh
ing the memory of the public, that the
measure Is essentially non-partisan.
and perhaps as wise a solution Of the

from one pocket TO another, he
dropped what he supposed to be
nickel and a key-ring into spittoon.

ring. The negro was arrested and his
searched, but nothing found.

the ring was found.
