Spaciar Dispateh to L'he Chicago Tribune. Wasnmiyarox, D, C., Jan, 81.—Morrison's Tarift bill has excitod much comment, and may belp tho Democrata to turn discussion in a dif- foront direction. The bill bas boen in fropara- tlon tor several weoks. Morrison has iad the aid of David A. Wells, an official of tho Treasary, sod of Pearco Morchant, of tho Now York World. It is the purpose of tho Democrata to mako thia bill a dofinitive policy, to forco it through the Houvo, and to compel the_ Ropub- lican Bonnto to pasa on or roject it. From what can bo loarned of the real wishos of the Domocratic loadors thoy hopo that tho Benato will roject it. . Its ' rojection, they think, would inure to their own political advantage. It ia belioved thet it will securo tho support of Westorn and Boutliern Domocrats, except soms from North Ohio and Mizbigsn, andothe intention is to forco it through as o party measuro. PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCIATS ALE FURIOCF, and throsten merfons troublo. Thoy say it is equivalant to tho Democracy abandouing their Btato Prosidentisl contest. Tho coal men of Maryland aro also disgusted, and thoy declaro it will give Weatern Maryland again to the Ropublicans.

A vory natural resnit of this syss tem, Farroll said, was tho appointmont and ro- taution tnoflice of a grent number of insMiclont or dishonest Conauls, and he cstimatad that in ten yoars tho Govornment bad lost by undorvaluation of goods importad {nto this country, oifhior with tho guilty knowledgs of Consuls or throngh their Ignorance, at least €40,000,000.

Farrell also gavo tho Committeo somo intersst- ing information in rogard to the mauner in which A WINE TING bad been in the habit ot oporating, avd by which tho Governmont had lost considerabls sums. Ho gavo it as nis opinion that our prescut Col Bular system was vory imperfoct in its organiza~ tion, and that while some of cur Conauls wero much overpald, others, who Lavo important duties to porform, actuallydo not rocoive enough snlnry to support them in a respoctable mannor. o alao called attontion ta the fact that Conauls of tho Unitod Htates hava groater rosponsibili tios than thoso of most Elleunn nations.
