THE TARIEE.

Senator Teller's Remarks ON the
Passage of the Tariff Bill by the
Senate.
Mr.. President, some days ago I an
nounced my purpose to discuss the mer-
it's of the pending bill. 1 intended to
do so before the passage of the bill
There has been more delay in securing
its passage than l supposed would take
place, and 1 have concluded to myself
with some other senators who are,
believe, in the same position, that we
would allow the bill to go into confer,
ence. The bill will be practically con-
cluded, l have no doubt, when 1t leaves
the senate. 1 believe it is brought pref
ty nearly to the House bill We shall
have an opportunity to discuss the mer-
it's of the bill while pending in confer
ence.
Mr.. President, I have on so many
occasions declared myself protection
ist that 1t is hardly necessary for me
to do it again. Had the bill been pre-
sented on protection lines, or upon
what I have heretofore supposed to be
Republican lines, it would have haC
my vote, although am not one of those
who believe that it will restore conf.
dence or anywise affect the existing de-
preston. A careful examination of the
bill cOnvinces me that it is one ought

FRIDAY THE THIRTY.sECoN D ANNIVERSARY OF THE SUR. RENDER 0F GEN. ROBERT
 E. LEE.
A HISTORICAL SKETCH.
Two Prominent Actors Who Still Figure in National Affairs, Gens. Fitzhugh Lee and
 John B. Gordon.
From Fridays Daily.


 At Appomattox Court House, Virginia, g years ago today) the 9th of April,) Gen. Grant received the sword of Robert E. Lee, as a token of the full submission of the arbitrament of arms of the veterans of the army of Northern Virginia. Although the 30, 600 troops present with Lee at that time constituted less than a fifth of the organized Confederate forces in the field, their surrender was the signal to the soldiery and tie people of the South that their cause was lost.
 Gen. Lees retreat from Peters burg was delayed the whole day of tue 7th of April, 1865, by the activ- { ity of the troops of the Second Fed eral corps, which harassed his army along the Appomattox route Vest ward During the night he put his men n motion for their last march to Appomattox Court House. He reached it with the advance about s o'clock on the evening of the Sth, and soon afterward q dash of the Federal cavalry from the South gave warning that a force was across his front and new plans were necessary. Sheridan was on his front with the cavalry divisions of Gems. Merritt and Crook Gems Ord, Griffin and Wright had three Federal corps strung out along the Lynchburg railroad South of him, and Humph- rey's corps was closing in from the East.
 Gems. Grant and Lee had been in correspondence for twepty-four hours relative to the surrender On the 7th Grant had written to Lee asking the surrender of that DOT { tion of the Confederate States Army known as the Army of Northern Virginia. That night Grant re ceived a response from Lee asking him what terms he would offer on condition of surrender Grant re piled on the 8th- naming no hard conditions, and stating that peace was his great desire
 The opposing armies were then moving steadily to Appomattox Court House on parallel routes. At dusk on the 8th Lees second rote reached Grant. Il stated that he, Lee, did not intend to surrender

head of the column. Upon reading Grants last note, Lee, who had by this time heard from Gordon and Fitz Hugh Lee that the Fed eral cavalry and infantry were con frontisg them, sent another dis patch to Grant asking for an in teryiew to discuss his Grants, original offer.
 Lee wrote at 9 o'clock in the morning, and hls note was sent ahead to overtake Grant. He was found about eight miles from the Court House, and he wrote at once that he would push forward and meet Lee.
 The generals met about 1 o'clock at the house of William Mclean, in the village of Appomattox, and the details of the surrender of the army of northern Virginia were arranged. The terms were parole of officers and men, with the privilege of going home. The private property ol officers paroled was not to be dis. turbed, and soldiers who claimed horses were allowed to keep them.
 The surrender embraced about 28,000 men, but only about 5000 delivered up muskets. Fitz HugI Lee withdrew his cavalry before the surrender and reached Lynchburg Subsequently his force and Rosser's laid down their arms.
 The historic Sunday, April 9 1865, closed with friendly meeting between the officers and soldiers who had fought one another so zeal ously for four years. The Unior men shared their rations with tho Southerners, who at times upor this last march had lived upon raw corn.

the Army of Northern Virginia, as hesdid not think the occasion called for it. He.intimated that he would treat for peace. Grant replied OF the morning of the 9th that peace Eeould only be had by the South lay ing down its arms, hostilities had not been suspended, and several Federal corps took positions for battle
 Meantime events behind the scenes had hastened Lees decision to go back to Grants original proposal and treat for the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia. On the evening of the 8th he had called council of corps commanders to consider Grants terms, as stated in his letter Of the 9th. It was decided not to accept unless it should be demonstrated that the whole Fed eral army was up. Sheridan, with his cavalry corps and Ord's infantry command, had outmarched the Con. federates and stood across their pathway at Arpomattox. Lee sent forward his cavalry, under Gen. Fitzhugh Lee and Gen. John B. Gordon's infantry, to fall upon
 
 Sheridan at daylight and open q road toward Lynchburg, aud failing ] to do so, to send word to Lee, who world go back toward the picket lines with the expectation of meet ing Grant to treat for peace. Cor don and Fitzhugh Lee advanced at sunrise, striking and driving off two of Sheridan's brigades, with the loss of guns and prisoners.
 Three divisions of infantry were sent to relieve the cavalry, which was retiring in confusion A new lime was formed, and the w.ole moved out at double quick to be met at once by white flag The bearer asked for cessation of hostilities pending the negotiations between Lee and Grant. Bugles sounded hault. Sheridan rode off towards the left front, where Gordon had passed the Federal out posts and was forming for battle around Appomattox Court House. Sheridan sent Gordon a demand to surrender, and he answered:
 "Give my compliments to Gen. Sheridan and say that ] will not surrender
 But Gen. Sheridan will anpihi- late you, said the bearer of the summons, with an expression of alarm. T am perfectly aware of the situation, responded Gordon
 Information now became general that there was truce, and that Grant and Lee were in cominuni- .eaticn. Sheridan asked Gordon and other leaders an assurance that the negotiations intended surrender, and this was given. It was ar ranged between Sheridan and Gordon to await events, and both dismounted, and the men learned for the first time the exact state of affairs
 G,aut had had instructions through Secretary Stanton to have no conference with Lee except for. the eapttuiafion of his (Lse's) army, and after sending Lee the answer to this pffect he had ridden off to the left and south to get around tn the
