that the oountry, Intent upon a Presidential election,

?Ten, the bili could not be paesed without long dissua
sions and a good deal or friction, and nobody believes it
.dectreble to bring op so large a toplo at
thta late date, when hot weather la looked for and a
good deal oi unfinished business la still on hand.
Meantime the House seems to bo Inclined to support
General Ward's resolution lor the appointment of com
mistioners to ascertain whether we cannot trade with
Canada upon more advantageous terma than tno
present, and it la probable that Mr. Ward will aeek to
enlarge the powers of the commission o aa to Include
Mexico. It is said that reciprocity with Canada and
Mexico would give us an advantageous commerce with
about 15,000,000 of people, who would be large con?
turners of our manuiaotures, and whoae demand
would be sufficient, if it wore once established, to aet
all our mills and other manufacturing industries

THX NEW YORK DEMOCRACY?AMAZEMENT OF
DEMOCRATS IN WASHINGTON AT THX MUDDLE
W THE STATE?MR. TILDEM'B DIFFICULTY
MB. batabd's OPPORTUNITY.
Recent political developmenta In the democratic party
of New York cause a good deal of amazement here,
where, antil quite reoontly, there wss a growing belief
In Mr. Tilden'8 strength, founded on the asertions of
his friends and on the fact that he seemed to have a
yood deal of strength hi some parta of the South.
The attack by Mr. Keiley, supplemented by what has
followed, seems to democrats here like the drawing of a
curtain, disclosing a condition ol things unexpected
to many, but foreseen by the best In.
formed. It was said by a Pennsylvania
member two weeks ago that the New York delegation
contained, he believed, about twenty-five Tilden men,
twenty of whom might give him a complimentary
vote and twenty-Ave who would not support him
Badar any conditions. Thla was thought an extrava
gant statement a> the time, but when repeated to-day
?body who heard it thought of contradicting it.
The fapjprterj of Mr. .XUdau do sot, however, give
up all nop* They imagine there will be a turn of the
tide and say that New York will have to furnish the
money for election expenses, and that it will lurnisb
more for a New York candidate than for any
other. They say, too, that the Ohio movement
will need to bo faced down by a strong man, and that
Mr. Tliden tstbe man to do it better than any other,
fhos they insist that in two ways Mr. Tilden Is a ne
cessity to tho party. But the answer la made that Mr.
. ?ayard answers to all tho conditions. claimed for Mr.
Tilasn, and that he copld unite tho warring factions in
New York, beimr unobjectionable to all of them. The
irtends of Mr. Bayard aay that he has all tbe good
qualities of Mr. Tilden, represents the samo principles
and has maintained thfem as courageously and ably, and
that hla nomination would call out genuine enthusiasm
everywhere aa denoting a new departure for the demo
cratic party and the cutting loose from many embarrass
ing relations of the past.
ACTIVITY OP THE SOFT MONET DEMOCRATS?
ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT THE REPEAL OP THE
RESUMPTION ACT?ATTITUDE OP THB HARD
MONET MEN.
The soft money men bar* renewed tbelr activity.
Id the caucus held to-night Mr. Neil, or Ohio, intro
duced a resolution:? *
That it la tne sense of this caucus tbat the Com
mute* ob Junking and Currency be instructed to bring
In immediately a bill for the unconditional repeal ot
(be resumption act.
Iherewaa an apprehension that this would pass, a
?amber of bard monoy men, especially Now Yorkers, 1
being absent; but a substitute was moved by Mr.
Randall:?
Resolved, Tbat the Committee on Rules b* instructed
to make a rule authorising the Committoe on Banking
ai:d Currency to report at any time.
And this was passed. The Committee on Banking
and Currency has bad a majority against the repeal,
bat this Is lessened by the absence of Mr. Randall <?lb
eon, who has gone to New Orleans as chairman of the
investigation committee. Still, If the republican mem
bars ol the oommlttee stand Arm they, with Mr. Cox,
(he chairman, and Mr. Wike, of Illinois, two bard
money democrats, can prevent a report lor repeal.
The friends of sound carreucy on the democratic
Mde ara not dismayed Their leaders aro men who will
not give up to intlaiion or soft money. There is no
doubt tbat they would prefer defeat of the party to |
being dragged at the heels ol the colt money leaders.
Tho democratic party must come Into power with
sound principles or else it is of no use, for It would go
oat at the end of lour years for a long period. Said a ,
democrat here, speaking of this matter:?
'?We don't want to come in for a single term and go
Ht In disgrace."

POST or T*B COMMITTEE.
The report on General Soheack's case has provoked a
great deal of oommant between members of Congress
outside tbe debate. Mr. Hewitt's speech was a power
ful denunciation ot tha- foolish ex-Mlalster. He man
aged to say la U n good deal that he oould not get Into
a unanimous report Several frleuds of General
Sbheack were at first desirous of spoalciug to tbe ques
tion and of answering Mr. Hewitt's severe strictures,
hut they came to tho conclusion that they could not
afford to stand np aad make a good aatured excuse lor
the accused ex-Minister. Judge Kelley, of Pennsyl
vania, expressed great regret to-night at the report of
tho commi'.tee; hot, though he bad been In Congress
eigbt years with Mr. Soheack, four of which he served
in committee with him, he did not think that be could
woU afford to apeak In hit defence. Rusk, of Wiscon
sin, who is an ardent friend of Mr. Sobenck, expresses
himself quite forcibly in regard to tbe republican mem
bers or tho commutes, on aooount of their agreeing to
make the report, and also about the fact that they so
agreed to it as a compromise, in order to save the re
flections made originally aga nst the administration.

8I0N OF EVIDEKCB.
The Sub-Judlciury Committee investigating tbe
charges against ex-Speaker Blaine reported to tbe lull
: committee to-day tbe fact that objection bad been
! made by Jndge Lawrence to tbe admissibility of the
! question propounded by Oeneml Hunton to the witness ,
j Sickles as to what he had heard from any parties In
' Arkansas on tne subject ol Inquiry. Mr. McCrary, of
{ Iowa, offered a resolution that the sub-committee, in ,
I continuing the investigation, should not receive bear* |
| say testimony except to the extent of tbo name and
residence of any person alleged lo have some know, j
: ledge of tbe matter under investigation. After con- j
; siderable discussion this resolution was defeated by j
| a strict party vote. Mr. Hurd then offered a resolution
i to the effect that the resolution of tho full committee I
authorizing a sub-committoe to conduct tbe investiga
tion did not authorize any Investigation of the ques
tion whether a corrupt use of bonds was made to
procure investigation, unless It related to tbe Little
Kock and Arkansas bonds, which came into possession
of tbe Union l'acitio Company. This resolution was
agreed to.
On motion of Mr Lynde, the committee thereupon
: resolved that the objection made by Mr. Lawrenco to
j Mr. Sickles' answering the question in dispute was well
< taken, and must be sustained. This latter action was
! understood to be based by the democratic mqjority on
! the ground that tbe matter referred to In tbe question
is not within the jurisdiction or the committee, It not
! having been made a subject of inquiry by tbe resolu
j tion of tho House. The republican minority of the
) committee voted lor Mr. Lynde's resolution, nowever,
on the ground simply that it provided for tho exclu
sion of ?omo hearsay testimony.

opposition. ?
Wasbisoto!*, Mar 36, 187*.
Th* Houso being In Committee of tb<* Whole (Mr.
Springer, of Illinois, in the cliairj oa lb* bill to revise
?ltd simplify oxisting lawa imposing duties on Imports
and to reduce taxatiou, Mr. Morrison, of Illinois,
Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, pro
ceeded to address tba committee in explanation of tbe
bill.
mr. Moiuuaox'e srxsca.
He laid down the principle in tbe opening of bis
speech that protection, other Iban that incidental to
revenue. Is spoliation, bemuse it take* tbe earnings ol
the labor of one person or class of persons and gives
those earnings to utber more lavored persons or
classes; that protection which would take equally and
bestow equally would be no protection at all, and tba1
Us abolition would be of most easy accomplishment,
having no saltish interests lor Its maintenance. Alter
reviewing bricUy tbe experience of other nations, ho
said that an increase ol taxation even on luxuries only
enriched the smuggler. "Crooked whiskey" showed
tbst excessive taxation makes Knave* and thieves.
Congress should try the removal of restrictions; snould
take oQ the shaukles; sho-tld gel revenue irom prop
erty that represented tho results of labor, not Iroin
the processes or means by which property is acquired,
and should recognise tbe oil repeated truth that
where protection begins revenue ends. Still, bad as the
system of protection was believed to bo, it bad tu be
dealt with by no abrupt change or headlong speed, but
by sure and inoderute steps, with the care ana caution
ol enlightened statesmanship.
THK PREMKST TARIFF,
he said, served the purpose neither ot protection nor
of revenue; it promoter I mod ami offered a premium
to unlaitblul officers. Under it revenue was a mere
Incidental or seuoudary matter. 1 he lnterosts ol tho
toiling and producing millions were Ignored, and the
outgrowth ol tho tariir was a selfishness which, in Us
race lor subsidies and bountios, had clouded some of
tbe best intellects of the country and dwartud tne spirit
ol lau-iable enterprise.
Reviewing tbe tarilT legislation of tbit country, he
referred to the removal, in 1872, of tbe dutv on tea and
coffee, and declared that tbe object ol' tho removal was
to afford a bolter pretext lor retaining protective duties
on ltianu aciures, and thai many lair mlnoed revenue
roformers fell Into the trap. He said that n duty of
three cents a pound on coffee and or 10 cents on tea
would yield each a revenuo oi $10,000,000, and would
only amount to a lax ol 21 "j rente on each to each per
son A tax ol 43 cents to each person on uoiii these
articles would yield a revenue of $20,000,000, and
where (be asked) could so much revenue bo obtained
irom customs at so little co t? Net from dnty on tnstt
ulaclnres, which were protected ai a rate exceeding 40
per cent. In order to obtain $20,000,000 in duties Irom
inanulacturcs protection w.m g>ven at the cost ol the
consumer to a homo prndnot of live times greator
value which yields no revenue. Ue argued thai while
tbe Industry, trade and commerce ol tbe country
should not be dlsturbod wantonly orupou any trivial
pretext, the modification proposed in bis bill could
only affect ibeni beneficially, aud was a necessity de
manded alike by tbe needs of tbe Treasury aud of the
consumer. He characterised as a fallacious and shal
low delusion tba idea that protection was necesuary to
prevent the
" PACPKB WAOXS"' OP KCROPB
Irom eomlng Into competition with the well paid labor
ol the United States. Tho Congress or the United
States might have great creative power, but it could
uoi convert an imbecile infant into a stalwart, seit- j
sustaining and self-respecting man either by protection
or privation. Tbe wages in England were lea limes au
hi|ih as In India or Chlua, Ave times higher than
in Kussia, and double as much as in Ueruiauy, Franco
and the rest of Europe: and yet In every one of these
countrps the dearer labor of England competed suc
cessfully with their cheaper labor.
THB "UOMK MAHKBT"
waa another cheat and catchword o( the protectionists;
Alter protection unequalled lor ball a generation, tbe
"homo market" had not come, but was as far as ever
removed Irom tbe Qelos of agriculture. Ue Calmed as
tbe cnief merits ol the bill reporiod by him simplitlca
tlon of rate* and reduction of rates. The proposed re
ductions, he said, were still high, and were ho mlendod
lest any radical reduction might seriously affect any of
tbo great Industrial Interests of Hie couuiry.
The proposed rates would still afford largo
incidental protection. No one knew better
than the manufacturer that tbo present complicated
and oppressive high tariff could not last. A change
must come, and come speedily. It bad been tbe pur
pose to present In tbo pending measure sncb a change,
in a spirit ol fairness to alL
As to tbe objection tbat this was not a propitious tlmo
for a tariff ro.orm, be said tbat If tbe present tariff won
an outrage aud an enormity there was no bolter time
than the present lor a reform. The present law waa
eiihor wise. Just and equitable, and therefore needed no.
change, or It was complicated, wrong and oppressive,
aud ibereiore could n?t be changed too Soon. Tbe
ponding bill was by no means such a complete adjust
ment of tbe tariff as was demanded, but H wan a step In
the right direction, a promise of belter things to come,
a meaiy* to a great end wh:ch would surely be reached,
and to wnicb, If tbo country was not led by reason and
Justice, It would be forced by necessity.
gPKKCB OF MR. HURCIIARO.
Mr. Burchaku, (rep.) ot III., also a member of the
Committee of Ways and Meats, made a speech in oppo
sition to tbe bill reported by Mr. Morrison. Ho ud
mlltei tbat a measure attempting to adjust tariff duties
more equitably, deserved the early consideration ol tbe
House, snd he regretted tbat the bill before the House
was so detective and Incomplete, it was imperfect In
Ite details and In the adjustment of tariff rales, and
would, as a revenue measure, ho disastrous to the
public credit So far as it sought to relieve taxation,
reduce excessive duties and simplify the mode ol ascer
taining them, it had his svnipaihv. His opinion was
that an average duty of at least 30 per cent would bo
needed during this generation. Contrasting the num
ber engaged in agricu tural and non-protected indus
tries with those employed in iron, cotton and froolen
productions, bo claimed that the atter represented but
three per ccut of the laborers of tbe country, and tbelr
intcre-ts wero not paramount to those ol tho other
laborers.
lie quoted John Qulncy Adams for tbe saying thnt
"a tariff duly was & bounty to tbe manufacturers,"
and he arguod that this truth was indicated by the
accumulated wealth and largo bank deposits of the
manuiacturing Slates. He insisted, however, tbat
the roouctious proposed in this bill must be compen
sated hy revenue duties from other sources, or else
the hilf ought cot to pasa. There was already a largo
tailing oft' In tbe revenue from customs, and this Jomod
to the proposed reductions would make tbo loss of
revenne at least $20,000,000. Tins would seriously im
pair the crodil or the government snd threaten the
sinking fund. For these and other reasons he opposed
tbe bill.
Wiiboot further progress on the Tariff bill the com
mitlo rose.
THE HEBREW CONVENTION.
The Convention of Uy delegates from various Hebrew
congregations held a second session last evening, Mr.
Lewis May in the chair, for the purpose of receiving the
reports of the tbo committees on resolutions and con
stitution and bylaws appointed at tbo previous meet
ing. <
The Chairman remarked that the impression bad
gene abroad that the sessions were strictly private, and
benco it was that ao few of their coreligionists were
present. The .Secretary read a communication from
the Annual Convention of Board of Delegates of Ameri
can Israelites held In Philadelphia, asktcg for co-opcra- i
lion in tbe.lr work. On motion of Merits
Ellinger it was dccided that ibe communica
tion be referred to the executive body,
which would be organized upon the dissolution of the
Convention. Mr. Ellinger staled that the two commit
tees had thought It much bolter to unite together, as, If
tbey held their deliberations separately, it was possible
that their conclusions might clash, or they might no
over tho ramc ground, which would be a useless wane <
01 nim-. Ho then presented a Joint report insisting on
the necessity and practicability at tho present time of
establishing a seminary for tho teaching of Jewish
theology. In the present state of education there
was no pressing demand for the more advanced depart
ments o( Hebrew lore. Still the institution should at
Its first inundation afford the opportunity for the Intro- i
duciion of thnoo higher branches when occasion would
offer. The coinm nee* were in doubt whether to recom
mend tbo establishment of chairs of Hebrew science in
existing universities or to found a separate Institution,
mid therefore subtest ibt.t that question be rHotrerl 10
ib? managers nl the institution whon organized. Mr.
Kllinger then offered a preamble setting iortb tho
gteat importance o! tbo question under consideration
and the necessity of a school where tbo sacred law,
tradition nnd literature, and the entire raoge of scien
title acquirements might be included in the curricu- j
