WHO’ NO. 8190. SUNDAY MORNI IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON. THE TARIFF QUESTION. Meeting of tha Bemocratic Caucus. PROPOSED REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURES, INTERESTING DISCUSSION. Meeting of the Pennsylvania Delegation, &., &e., de. Wasuineron, Feb. 5, 1859. The democratic caucus met at half-past seven @elock. There were sixty members present—Mr. Cochrane in the chair, and Messrs. Cavanaagh and Raffin acting as secretaries. The rule limiting debate to five minutes was adopted. > Mr, Ganwerr, from the Committee on Retrench- ment, presented only the outline of a report in- tended to show that the revenue of the present fis- ‘eal year would exceed by several millions the re- port submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury, and made a statement showing @ number of items in the estimates which might be largely reduc-: ed—among them lithographing and engraving, Be binding of public documents, the pub lic printing, cutting off the Congressional @lobe, the branch mints, the coast sur- wey, &c., reducing the army estimates to the ‘amount of several millions, and the navy about ‘Wree millions; near two millions by suspension of ‘the work on the public buildings; by reduction of franking privilege to two ounces; diminishing the wnmber of the mail routes to California; making the ocean mail service self-sustaining; and cutting off light houses, supporting them hereafter by ton- nage duties. i Mr. VaLLanpiaHam, member of the same commit- spoke of the great increase of public expendi- 44 to 1858, from twenty-six millions to s,and the importance to the country atic party of an immediate reduc- tion by Congress. The committee were of opinion that millions could be cut off He thonght, himself, from fourteen to twenty millions. He warned his @emocratic friends that they would be held respon- sible in 1860, and be obliged to answer for it. Mr. Crawrorp, from the same committee, and member of the Committee of Ways and Means, presented a table of items showing specifically that in them alone there could be a reduction of upwards of ten millions. Mr. Cayanaven wanted to know of Mr. Craw- ford { he expected any revenue from public lands in case the Homestead bill should pass the Senate. He thought government ought not to look to pub- Me lands for revenue at all. Mr. Crawrorp said he did not expect that bill would ever become 4 law. Mr. Pusirs advocated all possible reduction of expenditures, but maintained that it was not in the power of the Committee of Ways and Means to effect as much as they would desire. He thought Mr. Garnett had over-estimated the amount o revenne; the duties being reduced by the tariff of 1857, a much larger importation would be necessa- ry to raise a revenue equal to that under the tariff of 1846. Mr. Srzpnens, of Georgia, said he did not want to know how these expenditures had been brought about. The question they had met to consider was how they could be reduced, and to what extent. He thought there might be a good many millions saved. Mr. Crawford’s table, he thought, was accurate, and the reductionjpracticable. Mr. Stckvxs said that the estimates had been far- nished by the heads of departments, who were re- sponsible for them, and understood what they were about. They had no doubt cut them down as Jow as possible. He did not think that a portion of the members of the House ought to undertake to revise them. He meant no disrespect to others, but he thought it showed a want of confidence in the heads of departmenis. Mr. VaLanpicHam said the want of confidence ‘was not personal, but only just such as legislative bodies ought always to have. Mr. Buryerr asked Mr. Sickles to point out wherein the committee was wrong. Mr. Cnawronp here offered a resolution that the Recretary of the Treasury be authorized to re-issue the twelve million treasury notes, and that any other deficiency should be supplied by retrench- ment. Mr. Burnett demanded the previous question. ‘Mr. Sicktes denied that the previous question obtained in caucus, The Cuam overruled the objection, Mr. Grozsngck desired to make a remark. Mr. Burner refused to yield. Mr. Tayxor spoke strongly and excitedly against cutting off debate. Much confusion ensued, amid which the previous question was sustained; but Mr. Burnett withdrew it by unanimous consent. Mr. Groxssecx then, for the purpose of avoiding all feeling upon the subjeot, moved that the caucus adjourn sine die, with the understanding that a weneral conference of the party should be held next week. Mr. Sternens approved of the suggestion. ‘The motion was carried and the caucus adjourned. We understand that the committee will reduc their report to form for publication. Pennnsylva nia, New Jersey, Connecticut and California were mot represented. New York was represented by Gochrane, Sickles, Taylor and Hatch. Indiana, Mlinois and Ohio were fully represented, from 1 tyn and t PROCEEDINGS OF THR PENNSYLVANIA DEMOORATIO MEMDERS—THEIR PLATFORM, ETO., ETC. Wasminaton, Feb. 6, 1859, The democratic members of the Pennsylvania delegation met in one pf the committee rooms this evening, and passed the tollowing resolutions:—~ First—Opposed to a permanent national debt. Second—Endorsing the President’s recommen- dations.

The Tariff Democratic Caucus met this evening John Cochrane was chosen Obairman, and Messrs. Cavanagh and Ruffin secretaries. The largest num- ber present at any one time was fifty, of whom four were from New York, three from Indiana, six from Ohio, one from Ilinois, and several others alao from free States. . Mr. Garnett, from the Committee of Five, autho rized at the former meeting, reported a resolution that means ought to be provided for the payment of the Treasury notes now maturing, and that the deficiency in the Treasury should be met by a re- duction of the expenses of the government. Mr. Garnett made a speech in support of the re- solution, and was followed on the same side by Messre, Vallandigham, Crawford, Stephens, and Smith of Virginia. The debate was also partictpated in by Messrs. Cavanagh, Phelps of Missouri, Sickles, George Taylor, and Groesbeck. They did not go to the fall extent of those who preceded them, but admit- ted the necessity of economy. Several propositions looking to the reduction of the expenditures of all branches of the public ser- vice were then submitted; but without taking a vote upon them, the Caucus adjourned.

The Reported Differences of the President and Secretary Cobb on the Tariff Questin—The Lobby in a Fright—A New Kansas Job Halching—Curious Developements Before the Printing Committee—Tummany and the Central Ratlroad Laying the Wires for the Charleston Convention—Congress Likely to Vole a Revenue ikeasure—Mrs. Douglas’ Grand Party, dc., de. An impression, I see, prevails in some quarters that there is a misunderstanding between the Prosident and Secretary Cobb on the gubject of the tariff. Nothing can be farther from the fact. It is true that the President in- clines to specific duties, whilst Mr. Cobb favors the ad va- lorem basis; but this is only in the abstract, With refe- rence to prosent exigencies, both think alike that some modification of the existing tariff is necessary. There is 80 little of disagreement between them that it is the opinion of those who are acquainted with their respective views that if Congress would leave the matter in their hands, they could in a couple of hours arrange it so as to satiafy all interests, (Pennsylvania included,) and yet obtain all the revenue desired. For instance, the Secretary would restore the duty of thirty per cent on iron, as in the tariff of 1846, whilat in other things concessions would be made to conciliate the South, At all events, there would be no difficulty in effecting an easy compromise, unless factious influences interposed to prevent it. Witb regard to the queation whether specific or ad va- lorem duties are preferable there are valid grounds for a difference of opinion. While in some respects ad va- lorem duties aes the most jut to the many articies, system of specific duties: lesan herr ed to meet the exigencies of revenue, and to shut out facilities for fraud afforded by the former. Whatever, therefore, may be the individual of the President and Secretary on the subject, it is certain that neither ‘would allow them to interfere with the prompt passage 0 pA woe dor mr leve on tieole tek ae nd auf. is it likel would suf- fer them to interrupt the cordial icmmantion which is between them. Of all the members of Present , Governor Cobb would be, I am cer- tain, the last to take any stand which might have the ef- fect of embarrassing the President or of detracting from the honor and credit of his administration. The lobby are sadly frightened, and are moving with the caution of trout anglers, meeting slyly in private rooms and quiet corners. I think they are preparing for a grand charge at the close of the session, when you may expect to gee an appropriation bill, with twonty or more abominations tacked to it. Even this will fail them, for I am satisfied the President would at once veto such a swindle, and resort to an extra session. T understand that the New York political firm of George Sanders & Co. are the owners of two or three hundrod thousand acres of land in Kansas, and that they are figuring for a Railroad bill that will’ advance their inter- ests. shall be able to gend you onal the particulars of their schemes in afew days. Tne Printing Committee are ing with the exa- mination of witnesses. Of these there are any quantity. Seaman, of the Sunday Atlas, has been on the stand for several days; his examination is conducted with great bitterness, amounting to nothing morc than a personal squabble between him and Taylor. You must not, there- fore, be surprized if you should ee ee set-to between them, é la Walden and Taylor. 0 lan- guage which they openly use towards each other is of a character which points to the probability of such a result. Wendell has been subpenaed, and his answers will go to show that George at one time ‘was in the “ pool.”” He will testity, it ie eaid, that he has“ loaned”? (that is the dodge) moncy to several parties interested—amongst them George Taylor! iy It seems now to be fully established that Fernando ‘Wood is the owner and Lady aaa of the New York Daily Newt. When he was here he preached peace and harmo- ny, dined with Fowler, and ae with Sickles, too. I doubt front zou may reek that are on ‘a “happ) ” moeting York democracy. Even on Dean Richmond mado a vir- tue of necessity yesterday, and told the President that Mr. Schell was the best man for the collectorship, and not to be disturbed. These men are working for |! than the spoils of the Custom House. I re-assert the fact that Tammany and the Central Railroad are at various places to arrange plans for the Charleston Convention. One of the blowers them states that they have already settled upon some of the New York delegates, and have named about tain fA all being of the Douglas stripe. Their ee is to = next Syracuse Convention, then their for Charleston from amongst themeelves. Thus the people will be cut off, and having no interest in the nominee, will not exert themselves to secure his olection. This course will give the State to Seward in 1860, Fowler, Jewett, Richmond, Sherrill, Connolly, Butter- worth, Walden, Sanders and’Alex.

We look upon this state- ment as merely a canard. The reso of the 224 has an extended article on the relations of the Constitutional Mexican government and the United States, in which it looks with more favor on Mr. Buchanan’s propoeal to occupy certain posts in Chibuahua and Sonora. The Progreso, while it admits ‘tbat a large portion of the American people believe in manifest destiny, and the absorption of the whole of Mexico by the United States, denies that the proposed occu- pation will be anything more than temporary.
