The House of Representatives, not content | with the heavy rates imposed on imported table cutlery, (averaging 100 per cent) hard- ‘ware, earthen ware, stone ware, and many other classes of manufacture essential for the | comfort of poor men; which rates, will in | some cases operate to nearly double the | already high prices; on Tuesday actually agreed to an amendment proposed by Mr. Francis Thomas, of Maryland, to increase the duty from 50 cents to $150 per ton on candle or cannel and all bituminons coal, by a vote of—-yeas 53, nays 52. Thus even fuel as to be taxed, for the benefit of a few individuals interestedin mining. Of course, the poor man, with the necessaries of life at rates above his reach, must expect to be Without such luxurious articles as carpets. ‘To put them effectually beyond his reach, on Brussels carpets the duty proposed is first a special one per yard almost equal to the original price, and im addition thereto an ad valorem duty of nearly one hundred per cent. These are only a few of the oppressive fea- tures of the tariff bill now before Congress, | whicb can hardly become a law in its present shape. If it does, it will do more for free-trade than the advocates of that measure have ac- complished in many years. Let the prohibi- tionists model the bill as they are now doing, ooking only to the fostering of special interests, and corsumers will soon be claiming protection from the protectionists.

Now that active hostilities have commenced between the two great German Powers, we propose to state briefly for the information of such of our readers as are not posted on the Sebleswig-Holstein question, a few facts, di- vested of the complications which haye gath- ered around the main points in dispute. #s to the immediate cause of the war just begun. In 1864, Austria and Prussia, by the defeat of Denmark, became joint possessors of -the Duchies of Schleswig, Holstein and Lauen- burg. In abouta year afterwards Austria sold ber righ's in Lauenburg, ard by the conven- tion of Gastien it was agreed that Austria should take Holstein and Prussia retain Schleswig. Prussia, however, expected to be- come master of both Duchies, and was eager ‘o secure Holstein, a province of great value to her because of its nearness to her frontier; besides there is a good seaport, Kiel, of which Prussia was covetous. As the diplomacy of Prussia grew more and more urgent, Austria, the first of June last, hanaed over the qnestion tothe Feaeral Diet of Germany. This step Prussia denounced as a violation ot the con- vevtion of Gastein. Prussia, therefore, de- clared that convention at an end, and insisted that, as a consequence, her right to the joint oceupation of Holstein was revived. She marched troops into Holstein, and atthe last advices had crossed the frontiers of Saxony ana seized Dresden. The supineness of the Austrians in allowing Prussia to obtain this great ad vantage in position is a matter of sur- prise to military strategists. South of Dresden lies the ground on which many of the decisive batues of the great Frederick were fought. The position occupied by the Prussians is said to be almost impregnable, and they can only be dislodged by a long campaign, if at all. REPEAL OF THE BETEOCESSION ACT. The bill repealing the act retroceding Alex- andra county to the State of Virginia, was called up in the Senate to-day, and debated at some length. It was opposed’ by Mr. Davis, of Kentucky. Mr. Willey held that the act of retrocession was illegal, but thought there were questions of jaw concerned in its repeal which should send it to the Committee on the Judiciary. Mr. Howard conceded that the question was a judicial one, and whatever might be the ac- lion of Congress, it would be taken to the courts for adjudication. He had always re- garded the retrocession as unconstitutional and without warrant. The territory was ceded to the Government in trust for a specific par- pose; for the purpose of maintaining the seat of Government. Mr. Cowan urged that if the statute making the retrocession was void. then tnis legisla- tion wassuperfiuous. If the retrocession was nota nullity, then this act was a nullity in at- tempting to repealit without the consent of Virginia. Dir. Wade said he supposed no lawyer in that body doubted that the act of retrocession was void, but Congress owed it to the people of that territory to set them right in the statute book. Ceuld one Congress pass a law that another could not repeal The debate is in progress as we go to press. FBEEDMEN’S BUREAU CIBOULAB, The Commissioner of the Freenmen’s Bu- reau bas addressed a circular to all officers on duty with the Burean, calling their attention te General Order No. 39 from the War Depart- ment, publishing an act approved June 14th, 1-66, to reguiate and secure the safe keeping of public money entru#ted to disbuising officers of the Burean stationed at places where there is no Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer of the United States, who deem it essential to the pub- lic imterest that they be authorized to deposit the public money for which they are responsi- bie, 10 any other public depositary, or to keep it in any other manner, will report the facts and make application to the Commissioner in order to obtain the necessary authority, as provided for in section Ist of the above named act. NATIONAL OEMETERY AT GEVEN PINES, The National Cemetery at Seven Pines, Vir: ginia, bas been completed and now contains 1,356 bodies, It is laid out almostsqnare, being 1 teet front and 22: feet deep. it embraces an area of one and one-sixth acres, and is di- vided ‘nto four sections, each section forming & square ateach corner of the ground. A gravel walk nine feet wide extends along the sides between the graves and the fence, and walks are laid ont through the center, intersecting each other at right angles. In the centre isa circular mound on which is erected a flag staff. Of the 1,356 bodies interred at this cemetery 154 have the name and regiment painted on head boards, and 1202 are yet unknown. THE WRONG MAN. Some of Mr. Forney’s friends, animated by @ desire to mystify the public, circulated a rn- mor that it was Col. Stebbins, the New York banker and ex-Congressman, who was the choice of our nejghbor of the Chronicle for col- lector of the portof New York. We are in- clined to believe, however, from what we have learned from a reliable source, that the Forney recommendatory epistle was written to aid Gen. Hiram Walbridge, who alse wasa Democratic Congressman. PARDONS. Since the number of applications for pardon are daily diminishing, the clerks of the pardon bureau of the Attorney General's Office, have commenced to prepare the requisitions fer warrants of pardon of all those persons who have petitions on file in the office, under the firet, tenth. twelfth and thirteenth exceptions of the Amnesty Proclamation, except those ‘who Occupied important positions under the rebel goxernment. THE CELEBRATION IN PHILADELPHIA. ‘he demonsiration in Philadelphia yester- day. was of the most imposing character, the oceasion being the return of the battle stained banners of the Pennsylvania regiments to thie archives of the State. The city was crowded with strangers, and two hundred and fifteen regiments were represented The procession ‘was & magnificent affair, and the route was crowded with spectators. THE TAX BILL. We learn that the Committees of Conference tax on cotton at three cents per pound, giving railroads and gas companies the right to edd to théeir rates the tax until the 30th of April, 1867. ‘They agree to, Jeave the income fe eacnshibeas ab exemption of 9800 being retained. ‘ WHITE HOUSE.

Asamended the res- ‘and andit olution was Mr. Wade called up the bill to repeal an act entitled “An act to retrocede the county of Alexandra, in the District of Cotambia, to the State of Virginia.” Mr. Wade spoke in favor of the bill. He be- lieved the act cf retrocession to be unconsti- tutional. It required the consent of Mary land, Virginia and Congress to locate the cap. ital here and accept the ten miles square donated for the purpose, and nothing less than this joint consent coud justify the re- trocession, He spoke of the necessity of tecting the remains of the Union sol buried at Arlington as one of the reasons for reannexation. Hovse.—Mr. Patterson, of N. H., introduced the following bills, which were severally read twice and referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia :—A bill to provide for the probate of wills and the recording of the same in the District of Columbia: a bill to amend an act relating to commissions of In- nacy in the District of Columbia: a bill to pro- vide for the adoption of children and the change of names in the District of Columbia. The Pennsylvania contested election case of Fuller vs. Dawson was taken up, and post- poned until after the tariff bill shall be dis- posed of. Mr. Spalding, of Ohio, gave notice that after the tariff bill shall be disposed of he wouid move to call up the resolations reported py the Select Committee in the Rousseau-Grin- nell case. ? The House then took up the regular order, namely, the bill heretofore introduced by Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, amendatory of Union Pacific Railroad act. After considerable diseussion, Mr. Stevens, of Pa., offered an amendment to the bill way ofsubstitute, which was agreed to: yeas nays (7.

Sup; ng that the firm had money in that bank he consented, and Mr. Aiken drew a check for fifteen dollars, daved the 224 January, and signed Aiken & Clampitt Later in the evening, Mr. Aiken called upon Mr. Buchly and told him that he (Aiken, was not aware that Clampitt had drawn the money ovt, and requested Buchly to hold the check over a day or two and he would make it right. Mr. Buchly having business at the bank, offered the check of Aien & Clampitt, when it was pushed back by the teller, who told Buchly that the firm had not had any money there for six months. Mr. Buchly said Mr. Aiken had frequently made promises relative to the payment of check, which was not complied with. Supernatant Richards, at the request of Mr. Aiken, consented to a fur- ther hearing Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. and held the accused to bail. City Post Orrice—The Money Order .—During the month of June the fol- lowing work was performed by the letter car- riers: Mail lewers delivered, 97,100; local do., 7,86 newspapers, 28,698; letters collected, 53,35 papers do, 1,640. A. B. Scrivener has been appointed an additional letter carrier. The new law ot Congress in relation to the “money order” system was put im force on Monday last, and all the offices are now ope- raung under its provisions: Tne working of the system is changed m several respects, and orders of $50 and under are now sald, while under the old system the maximum was 30. The fees for money orders have also been changed, orders from $1 to $2 being now is- sued at 10 cents, and over $20 to $50 inclusive at 25 cemts. Under the old law it was neces- sary lor a duplicate to be issued, an affidavit with stamp was first required, for which the party had to pay, as also a fee for the new cer- tificate. Under the new law Ts can administer oaths free of charge. and the cer. tificate is also furmished without cost, the only expense to the party being the 5 cent revenue stamp. Resides these charges, quite a number of other objectionable teatares have been re- moved.
