Ohio Representatives Opposing the
Free List Proposition.
WASHINGTON, April 2G.--Mr. wilkins,
of Ohio, to-day offered a preamble and
resolution reciting that one OF the propo-
sltions contained in the tariff bill reported
to the House by the Ways and Means
Committee is to place on the free list all
manufactured woods, that the season is
at hand when the product grown during
the past year is marketed by the grower,
that the proposition to put wool on the
free list and the uncertainty and doubt
concerning the action or the House is
causing unnecessary and serious loss to
the wool growers without contributing
any benefit to the people. ami declaring
that it is the sense OF the House that the
wool tariff schedule. so far as it relates to
unmanutactured wool, should not be re-
duced.
Mr.. GrOsvenOr. OF Ohio, offered a reso-
luton reciting that by the action Of Con
gress in reducing the tariff on wool that
industry has been rendered unremunera-
tive, and declaring it to be the sense Of
the House that the tariff of 1867 should
be restored,

WASHINGTON, April 26. - A motion
to reconsider the vote by which Gen. Rose
Grams nomination as Register of the
Treasury was confirmed was made by a
member OF the Senate Finance Committee
to-day. The nomination was favOrably
reported by the committee long ago, but
before il was acted upon by the Senate
some question rs TO his qualifications for
the Office of Register of the Treasury arose
and delayed action, and finally charges
are said to have been filed to the effect
that be was in some way connected with
public land frauds in California. The
frauds consisted in procuring the entry of
claims by hOmesteaders and pre-emDtOrs,
and the immediate transfer OF the claims
to other parties.
What the Generals alleged connection
with the matter is cannot be learned. An
attempt will probably be made to have
the matter further looked into by the
committee before tue nomination is
returned TO the President.

Report a Substitute.


The House Labor Committee Decides to
Report n Substitute.
WASHINGTON. April 26.-Tne House
Committee on Labor had what one Of its
members described as "a - blazing" time
this morning over the Willis Blair eduea-
tional bill. Two Of the members came to
hot words over the fact that some In
formation had been given out by one Or
them ABOUT the probable action
OF the committee on this bill.
Presently the battle became general.
Az length, just before II O'Clock,
vote was had. The committee voted 10
report the Willis. Blair bill wit1OutTec0m-
mendatlon. Then a motion TO reconsider
was entered and the Committee adjourned
until this evening. At the evening meet
ing the motion to reconsider was carried.
1heu the substitute proposed by Mr..
Grain, the leader OF the opposition 10 the
Wilns-Blair bill, was discussed, and By a
vote Of 10 to 3 was adopted. This bill,
which will be reported In lieu Of the Will
lis-Blair bill, appropriates $l,5OO,O0O
a year for ten years, from the receipts OF
the sales OF public lands for popular edu-
cation within the states, on the basis OF
illiteracy. lt provides that Industrial
aud training schools shall be allowed a
due proportion OF the annual appropria-
tion. Tomorrow Mr.. Grain, who is
member Of the committee
30 investigate the southwestern strike,
which leaves here on Wednesday, will
ask leave in the House 90 make the report
at once. The friends OF the Willis.Blair
bill are greatly discouraged. They can
only say that they will try 10 have the
Willis Blair bill substituted for the Drain
bill ln the House. But this attempt viii
probably be baiiied BY tho rules.

The United States Supreme Court Re
verses the Saxon Case Decision.
WASHINGTON, ADril 26.-The Supreme
Court to-day rendered a decision in the
case of Spraigue, Soullee & Co. VS., JOS
eph j. Thompson. This was an action
begun by the defendant to recover $93 16,
claiming to be due him under the pilotage
law OF Georgia for pilOtage on account OF
the steamer Saxon, OF which the plaintiffs
in error were the owners. The suit was
brought under section of the Code Of
Georgia, which provides that the master
or commander Of vessels bearing toward
any OF the ports or har5ors OF the State,
except coasters, who refuses TO receive a
pilot on board shall be liable TO pay the
first pilot who may have offered his SER
vices outside the bar.
SPOKEN OFF TYBEE.
The Saxon was spoken by pilot while
she was bearing toward the port of Sa-
vannah, and his services were offered out
side Of Tybec bar but were refused. The
Superior Court of Chatham county gave
a judgment for the pilot. This judgment
the Supreme Court of the United States
reverses, holding that the section Of the
Georgia code under which this suit was
brought contains such Determinations as
are prohibited by section 4231 Oi the Re-
vised Statutes Of the United States, aud
that the claim for pIl0tage is defeated by
other provisions OF the Revised Statutes
which subjects coastwise vessels to the
navigation laws OF the United States and
exempt them from the regulations estaD-
llshed by the laws of any States requiring
vessels entering a port to take pilot
licensed by the laws of such State.

to-day Mr. Harris presented the creden.
tials of Washington c. Whitthorne, ap-
pointed by the Governor of Tennessee to
be United States Senator from that State
to I'LL the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Senator Jackson. The credentials
having been read, Mr.. Whitthorne was
escorted to the desk by Mr.. Harris and

form by the President pro TEN. of the
Senate. Mr. WhltthOrne then took his
seat on the Democratic side of the cham
Der, on the extreme right OF the Chair, and
received the congratulations of many
Senators.
THE CREDENTIALS CRITICISED.
When the new Senator had taken mis-
seat Mr.. HOar called attention to the form
of the credentials, not having desired, he
said, to say anything which might seem
like objection To the swearing In OF Mr..
Whltth0rne. The form Of credentials Mr..
Hoar thought defective, inasmuch as the
certificate stated that the appointment
was for Senator JacksOn's unexpired
term. 1t should read "untll the next
meeting Of tue Legislature" The point
was Of no great consequence at present,
but in case of close party division in the
Senate the question, Mr.. HOar thought,
might become one of great Importance,
and public attention ought to be directed
to 1t IN order that the difficulty might, as
TAR as possible, be avoided.
Mr.. Harris remsrked that Mr.. Whit
thOrne's credentials in using the word
Term" made reference to the term "as
fixed by law" He thought this qualify
ing phrase covered the point. The cre-
dentials were filed.

African COLONIZATION.

The Rev. DR.. Sunderland, of Washing
ton, lectured in Boston the other evening
on the subject Of colonization in Liberia.
He is an advocate OF the policy of the
American Colonization Society, which is
the founder Of the republic OF Liberia.
While the lecturer covered the subject
OF the enlightenment and colonization OF
Africa generally, his principal aim was
to revive interest in Liberia. That coun-
try has not been in prosperous condition
for a good many years, and the outlook
for it is not very encouraging. The Doc
tor thinks that the American people
ought to feel moral obligation to do all
they can to promote the interests OF
Liberia, as offering aspromising and prac-
tical opportunity for the regeneration OF
the African continent. He thinks the
United States ought to stand as the
friend of the Black Republic, and
protect 1t from the encroachments of
England which threatens to seize val
liable strip OF territory in the Southeast
ern portion Of the country. This position
will hardly meet with much favor, for
while we deny the right of the powers of
the Old World to interfere with affairs that
concern the New World, we are not in a
condition TO take part in matters which
concern the Old w Grid alone. DIR. Sun
derland thinks practical way Of saving
the territory in dispute would be 10 send
out a colony OF 10, 200 freedmen to occupy
1t. This suggestion should have much
force with the American Coloni-
cation Society, which is espe-
cially interested in Liberia, but
this interest does not appear to be as
keen just now as it perhaps might and
ought 10 be. Probably Liberia needs the
oversight and assistance OF its parent So
ciety now as much as at any
time in the past, but it does not seem
probable that the society will be in a con-
ditlon TO do much for its offspring in the
near future. Besides any offers the So
ciety might make to improve the methods
of administration in Liberia, and to shape
the policy Of its government so as 20 ad-
vance the interests and condition OF the
people, would doubtless be resented as an
impertinence.
Since Liberia has been found to be rich
In minerals, timber and fertile lands, il
will probably not be long before il will
cease TO be independent, aud the people
VIII become virtually, If not nominally,
slaves TO the traders and money lenders
OF England.
