The report of the chief of the revenue
marine division of the treasury department
shows that during the month of January the
vessels Of that service rendered valuable
assistance to vessels in distress. The revenue
cutter Dallas went to the assistance of
twenty-six vessels, and either rescued the
crews from places of peril, or towed the
vessels through fields of ice to places Of safety.
On the ninth ultimo the British schooner
Eta was at anchor on the point of Aliens
island with the rocks close under her stern
and with no room to veer out cable. She
was in great danger and hung out distress
signals. At this time tho Dallas was at
anchor off Green's Landing in a heavy gale,
with both anchors down and q steamer close
ahead lying over them, making it impossible
for her to heave them up and go 70 th the
eehCy First Lieutenant T. S. Smythe volun-
teered to go with boats crew to the as
sistance OF the Eta, and he was allowed TO
do so. Passing with great difficulty through
the large quantities of field ice, he reached
her, got her under way, and brought her to a
safe anchorage near the Dallas. The report
also contains an account of the assistance
rendered by tho revenue steamer Deater to
the steamer City of Columbus off Gay Head
on the eighteenth ultimo. The revenue
steamer Gallatin rendered valuable assist
ance to seven vessels during tho months of
December and January. The revenue steamer
woodbury. rendered material aid to fifteen
vessels during the months of December and
january, whereby many lives and valuable
property were saved.

The Democratic Tarlr compromls..

Mr.. Morrison iS reported to have completed
his twenty minutes work on the tariff BILL"
and to have prepared measure which shall
make horizontal reduction Of 90 per cent.
on duties in general, whilo keeping every
article up to the ratio established by tho
Morrill, war tariff Of 1861. Now let Mr..
Hewitt SEQ II no can beat that. II is given
out that Mr.. Morrison will introduce his bill
on Monday This is not exactly equivalent
to the favorable report of tho committee on
ways and means on the bill.
While on this subject it may be well to
state the position of the democracy on the
tariff as we understand IL, and if we do not
understand it nobody does, We have caro-
fully studied the views of Carlisle, Randall,
Watterson, Dana, Morrison, Hewitt, George
Jones, and all tho other great democratic
lights on the question, and, having carefully
mixed them in such proportions as will feed
the public credulity withouu absolutely turn
ing tho public stomach, We attain the follow
ing result:
Democracy means a tariff that will produce
revenue only, while IL will afford ample pro-
lection to American labor; that will encour.
age foreign importations to mako things
cheap for the workingman, and yet discourage
all such importatons in order to make his
labor dear; that will injure tho employer,
while 1t benefits the employed; that will level
manufactures to the ground in order to
crush tho monopolists who own them,
while at the same time IL will
raise tho wages Of the operatives in the fac
tories thus closed up. This democratic tariff
will, in short, make the poor man rich and
the rich man poor, and will also make either
Mr. Morrison or Mr.. Hewitt the next presi-
dent, If some republican does not interfere.
1t will BIO observed that there eau DO no
surplus revenue under this democratic tariff
for the duties imposed to prevent competition
with American laborers will be very nearly
prohibitory, and very little revenue can be
collected, because importations will be small
At the same time tho revenues will be abund-
ant for all truly democratic purposes because
the very low duties imposed in order to break
down the American monopolists who own
the manufacturing establishments will cause
importations to SO increase that we shall
have money enough to give every truly
national democrat in the south both fag
and an appropriation to reconcile him to the
disagreeable duty of ruling over us.
We shall watch the democratic debate on
the tariff with great interest. The foregoing
may be relied on as fair outline of what it
will be. 1t is some relief to be assured that
at last the democrats have agreed on this
momentous question.

Details OF Lanier,s Frauds.

Detailed reports are coming into the post.
office department of the frauds practiced
upon postmasters by Postoffce Inspector B.
II. Lanier, who was removed from Office on
Thursday. The office at Mobile was de.
frauded to the amount of 500; Jacksonville,
Fld., to the amount of $780, Pensacola, 800;
Houston, Tex, 1925; Atlanta, $3.50; New
Orleans, $50; Selma, Ala, 500. Other
points not yet heard from, that Lanier
is known to have visited, are expected to
swell these figures considerably He also holds
$40 belonging to the money order funds. Diff
ferent plans were pursued by Lanier in OBJ
tanning money from postmasters, but his
favorite scheme was to appear before a post
master, present his credentials and ask for a
loan from the postal funds to aid him in the
attempt TO arrest criminals. 1t Is said at the
department that the postmasters must lose
the money, as they were not authorized to
expend the postal funds in the manner above
described. A dispatch received last evening
from New Orleans stated that Lanier had
lied to South America.

The Atlantic and Pacific Land Grant,

Gen. James A. Williamson, land commits
sioner of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad
company, and Mr.. McGowan, OF Washington,
argued before the house committee on public
lands yesterday against the forfeiture of the
land grant to the Atlantic and Pacific Rail-
road company. The grant contains about
40,OOOOOO acres of land in Missouri, Texas,
New Mexico, Arizona, and California. The
line was projected from Springfield, No., to
the Pacific coast, distance of 2,426 miles,
and was to have been completed in 1878. The
records of the department of the interior
show that but about 125 miles were com
pleted in the specified time.
Representative Payson, of Illinois, intro.
duced bill for the forfeiture of all the lands
except that along the portion of the line that
has been completed. This section is in Mis-
souri, and Texas Mr.. Payson says, judging
from the sentiment expressed by members
OF the committee, that a bill will be reported
declaring forfeited all of the land which was
not secured by fulfllment of the terms of the
contract. The land amounts to between
So OOO, 600 and $50 700 acres.
