The opposition to that policy will fail as signally in the House, asin the Senate, the reader may rest assured. ‘The idea of higher duties on imports and of a home va'uation is a chimerieal one, so utterly hopeless of being carried into operation in these times of almost universal tendency to free trade, as that we were surprised to find grave and ex- perienced Senators wasting their time in efforts to fasten it on the present revenue system of the Government of the United States. A stable system of home valuations is an utter impossi- bility in this country, and if attempted would, throw the revenue affairs of the Government into unutterable confusion. der the Government more unpopular with men of all parties in business, than to attempt aught else “We can coficeive. We have no idea that those who labor in the House to defest the treasury note policy will haye better success than their co-laborers in the Senate, who were so signally defeated in the final avtion of that body on the bill at 6 ». m. on Satarday last. The Treasury note bill cannot fail to become a law ere Congroga adjourns over for their usual Christmas-times holiday. “D.—A situation, by a young man, tothe Before Court No. 3 B. F.
