It was contended by the counsel that ac- B cording to the laws of Maryland a negro was not J a cmpetent witness against a white man. The Smagistrate decided that said law was null and j void, having been abrogated and superceded by 0e the civil rights bill, and required bail, which Som ers refused to give, and he was committed. Ap plication was made to Judge Bowie for a writ of it albeas corpus, which he declined to grant, giving S on his written opinion sustaniing the magistrate. He Sadmits there are doubts as to the constitutionality 0i of the billon other points, yet not seeing clearly a I Sbreach of the federal Constitution on the partic ular point bearing in this case. following the usage and decision of the highest courts, he was t to bound to assume that Congress had not violated at its constitutional obligations and passed an uncon at titutional act.

The report I1- gave rise to a considerable debate, especially the to item fixing the tax upon cotton at three cents ck per pound. The confereence committee of both ad Houses agree to a tax of three cents on cotton. and having agreed oa the minor amendments, the bill now goes to he President. ge Nkw YOaK, July . -The convention of railroad or presidents at Philadelphia have memoralized Con 'p gress, remonstrating against the duty on iron anod steel rails imposed by the new tariff. y Hteatuboat pier.

Mr. Saulsabry said he uricrto,.l thtl when this bill came frwom the House the re was a tax of 5 cents per pound on cotton. 'he cuom smiLtn of w onhertences s ad reluced it to 3 cHrts. I was glad of that ; but, considering the sitiation of the people in that it.;on where cotton was grown, reduced as they were to abject poverty, h crs ely able t h get bread for t·hir families, unrepresented in Congres, he thought ih t uSnjsi to singl e out olne article of agriculture for taxation. Ile was totally r opposed to taxing cotton, unles. other prlduct oi the farm were tiaxee. The bill, as presented by by the conference committee, was more favorabcl to of the planters than as it cam frome the House, yet the as the single artcle of cotton was selected of all te agricultural prodats for taxation, he could not vill vote for the bill. Mr. Hendricks said the Senate was informed early in the session by th proper departments ot will the government that th itrdistion of the flonacer rds lwas such as would allow very large reduction in taxation. He was informed by Mr. Sherman that the revenue from internal taxes might be reduced $75,000,000. He hoped then to see a reduction in s. thetaxes that bear upon the agricultural interests of the country, but there wasno such relief. There lay was an extraordinary tax on whisky, although he )go, thought an experience of two years had shown that that tax defeated revenue. He then spoke in eret opposition to the cotton tax, and characterized the to bill as unfavorable to the interests of he country. o- Mr. herman said the agricultural interests were ard better cared for than any other in this bill. Nearly re all the burdens of the bill wore put upon wealth. ell Articles of luxury were taxed heavily--agricul rom tural implements were left free. Hle doubted the and sincerity of Mr. Hendricks, when he said be did ad not oppose the bill from any sectional spirit. It would be within bounds to say that if Ohio paid an- $10,000,000 of tax under the last bill, she would ited pay bat $5,000,000 under this. Indians would pay ty $1,000,000 or $2,000,o00 less under this than the r former bill, and so of other States. t Mr. Wilson spoke against the tariff bill now tirt pending in the fotse. It was a Western measdre, s" hlasseahusotta was e*tibtied with thie present tariff, and he would vote against the bil if sent to the Seatnte without modiicatifon. Masiachoseadth protection enough. They had enough of this n thing of potting on heavy taxes to protect iron and other interests of Pennsylvania and the West, and then charging it all to New England. V Mlr. Hendricks would ask Wilson who was the I author of the House tariff? Mr. Wilson caid Mr. Morrill reported the bill, but b men from the Northwest in the wool interest orig inrted it. Whoever said the present tariff came o from New England, said what was not true. P Mr. Hendricks said that after the remarks of Mr. 1 SWilon !e felt sure the tariff bill would be defeated. I le hoped it would. Ile would join Mr. Wilson in ti 0 !borin,' for its defeat. lHe would join with New c' englaond in demanding a rervenue tariff that would affird prodi-te'in enough rndeir the presentsystem M.
