Mr. J.

The main features of the examina- tion w relative to the allegation hereto- fore published that Mr. Adams collected $700 on goods furni of which did not exceed $500.

Mr. Hoar said as it did not involve the ques- tion of women suffrage, but merely the cony nience of delegations desiring to have a hear- ing on the question, he hoped a vote would be reached to-day. Mr. Morgan addressed the Senate. He re- garded the proposition as the initial measure of that series which had been urged upon states and territories, and Congress in various forms, by which it was sought to open to the intrusion of politics and politicians that sacred circle of the family, where no one should be permitted to intrude without the consent of both of the heads of the family. At the conclusion of his remarks the Senate went into executive session. THE MORRILL. TARIFF BILL. ‘Senator Morrill’s tariff commission bill, which the Senate finance committee decided to- day to report without amendment, provides for th pointment of nine commissioners from civil life by the President of the J'nited States, subject to confirmation by the Senate, and pre- scribes their duties as follows: It shall be the duty of said commission to take into con- sideration, and to thoroughly investigate, all the various questions relating to | the agricultural, commercial, mercantile, manu- facturing, mining aud industrial interests of the United States so faras the same may be neces- sary to the establishment of a judicions tariff, or a revision of the existing tariff and the ex- isting system of internal revenue laws upon a scale of justice to all interests and for the purpose of fully examining the matters which may come before it; said commission in the _ prosecution of its Inquiries is empowered to visit such dif- report to Congress the results of their investi- gation and the testimony taken in the course of the same from time to time, and are required to make their final report not later than the first Monday in January, 1883. The Garland bill proposes the cre: of a commission to consist of three Senators, to be appointed by the Senate, three members of the Honse of Representatives to be named by the Speaker, ang three other persons, not mem- bers of gither House, to be selected by the six Senators and Representatives. The bill pro- vides that these ninecommissioners «hail inquire into the relative effectsof the present tariff upon the different industries of the country.und apon consumers and producers; into the relative merits of the specific and ad valorem systems: ascertain what improper discriminations are now made; and, in short, after reviewing the whole tariff system, report to Congress, at the earliest day practicable, all such recommenda- tions as they may deem necessary or a‘lyisable. i aes entre satsessdintiae Rerresestative Neat, of Ohio, will bechair- man of the Distriet of Columbia committee.
