WASHINGTON The ‘Test Oath Nullified by Congress. An Unreconstracted Member from Vir- gina Admitted. Amendments to. the ‘Currency é Bill. THE NEW TARIFF BILL. Farther Protection to New England and Pennsylvania, A PRESIDENTIAL VETO THREATENED, Wasxinaton, Feb. 1, 1870, The New Tariff Bill—Further Protection of the Manafactaring Interests—Pennsylvan and Now England Dissatisied—Determined Hostility to the Bill from All Quarters. ‘The tariff bill which was reported to-day promises ‘ve meet with a good deal of opposition in the House. ‘Mt 1s desoribed by Mr. Ajlison, of Iowa, a member of ‘we Ways and Meaus Committee, as wholly in the ‘aterest of the protectionists and against the reve- nue. Whether this is so or not, itis manitest the ‘Variff men in the House are very well pleased with it, and will doali they can to get it through. While the Dill was in committee the Capitol swarmed with Gelegations representing various interests, free trade and tariff, and each one pressed his case With an earnestness persistency that knew no defeat, Now th; it has come into the House the cormdors will swarm with obpyista. Iron, coal, wool, steel, leather and a hundred other interests will be represented, The coramitice will ailow the freest limit for amendment and debate, ana it is the opinion of well informed mmembers that it will take six weeks to get the bill through the House. So ready are the members {to Gebate the bill that when it was reported to-day it ‘Was with difficulty that the chairman could keep ‘the House from running into a general debate on the merits of the bill before it was printed or its con- Vents generally known save to the members of the ‘Ways and Means Comuuttee. It would appar that the committee 1s by uo means a unit in its support of ‘ue measure. Allison, of lowa, wok occasion to attack it and struck it one square blow between the eyes, exposing the dodge of the protectionists im enlarging the free lst so as to aid the Manufacturers at the expense of the consumers, Brooks, of New York, another member of the com- mitiee, was prepared with an elaborate speech, ex- Posing Sue defects, and, as he expressed it, the ‘*4niguittes” of the measure; but he was cut short by Schenck, who imsisted that there should ve no de- bate until the bill was fairiy before the House. Brooks asked to offer a minority report, whereupon Dickey, of Pennsylvania, objected. His friends urged him to withdraw the objection, but he refused. Had he been sharp he would have allowed Brooks to offer the proposed report. The truth is, Brooks nad no report, and @ question from Schenck as to whose names Were attached to it would have developed ‘wiat fact. He only wanted to come a shrewd dodge over the House and get his speech, or that portion of it that Schenck refused to let him Geliver, printed with the regular bill. Marshail, ‘who algo belongs to the committee, denounced the all as inimical to the shipping, commercial and @gricaitoral interests of the country, Allison, Brooks and Marshal! are the straight ont free traders on the committee, and, of course, could not do any- thing else but oppose the bill; but even Schenck confessed that it did not meet his approbation in all respects. Kelley complained that an unwise reduc- 4tiom had been made in iron. Hooper said nothing, ‘Dut it is known that New England interests are not taken fare of to his liking. The bill, it would ap- pear, does not fully meet the views of any member of the committee, which 1s a bad beginning for it, and wili be an clement of weakness to it in the Honse, peg Revolutionists. Senator Ramsey was listened to with deep interest to-day upon his resolution in favor of mediation by our government in behalf of the Red River peopic. He claims that the government of the insurgents commands the support of all cinsses, and is acknowledged by the Hudson Bay Company, and that its suppression by an English or Canadian army is impossible. His description of the people, the resources of the coun- try and the commercial relations with Minnesota ‘Was very graphic, and commanded the undivided attention of the Senate. He proposes, as a proper form of mediation, that England shall submit to the people of Winnipeg explicitly whether they desire union with Canada or the United States, and that a similar plebiscttum ghall be submitted to the people of Britisn Columbia. Should the popular ver- dicts be for annexation to the United States, then the Senator anticipates no diMcuity im effecting treaties which shall establish a com- mercial union with Canada and remove all existing complications with Great Britam. In conclusion, resolutions of the Minnesota Legisla- tare were read, which were adopted nearly two years ago, remonstrating against the extension of Canada over the Northwest by an order in council at London, without @ vote of the people of the ter- ritory affected, and.urging negotiations for a cession of Northwest British America to the United States. The general sentiment to-night is that the Minnesota Senator has started a most important discussion. He has been very warmly congratulated by all par- ues, Secretary Bentwell Before the Gold Panic Investigating Committee. Secretary Boutwell was belore the Gold Investigat- ing Commuttee to-day and testified as to the order sent General Butterfield to sell gold on Wall street on the ‘Black Friday.’’ The Secretary corroborated ‘the evidence of Butterfleld, so far as the sending of the order is concerned and the possibility of its get- ting out in advance of its being made public from the Sub-Treasury in New York, He also detailed the interviews with the President which took place pre- vious to issuing the order and on previous occasions concerning the sale of gold and the purchase of bonds. There was nothing new or important in his testimony, 1118 said that he was summoned at the instance of the democratic members of the commit- tee. ’ ‘What It Costs to Defend Fenian Prisoners In ‘anadn. Judge McKenzie, of Canada, who was employed by our government to defend certain Feman prison- ers, is on here endeavoring to put through a claim ot $40,000 for bis services. He has received $6,000 already aud hopes to be allowed the balance, Nominftions by the President. ‘The following nominations by the President were gent to the Senate to-day:—James Brady, Jr., Col- lector of Customs at Fall River, Mass.; J. B. Kerr, of Missouri,"Consul at Scio. Bills Signed by tho President. ‘The President hag signed the bill to protect oMcers im the government empioy, providing against the 5 citations of contributions for the purpose of mak. ing gifts or presents to oMciais; also the act amend- ing the act admitting Virginia into the Union, pro- viding that wherover the word “oath” 18 used it shall be construcd to include an aMrmation. Relief for Navy Yard Employes. ‘There ia a prospect that within a few days the alf- ficulty about the appropriation for the Bureau of Engineering and Construction in the Navy Depart. mient will be so adjusted that the men engaged in those departments recentiy discharged from the various navy yards will be enabled to resume work. Senator Morrill, from the Committee ou Appro- Priations. te-day reported a joWt resolation autho . NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, riztng the Secretary of the Navy to transfer from unexpended balances belonging to other bureaus $4,000,000, to be used for the Bureau of Engineering and- Construction. Senator Morrill will endeavor to get a vove on this in tne Senate to-morrow, when At will be imimedintely sent to the House and pushed through with all possibic speed. The Nogre Senator front Mississippi—Lioniz~ ing Jett Davis? Successor. ‘The negro Senator from Mississippi: is being Nonized to an extent that promises to eclipse all our attentions to Prince Arthur. This evening he was 1o have been serenaded, but it was deemed best to Postpone the matter for @ few days, until arrange- ments can be made for a grand turnout of the ad- mirers of the new Senator, white and black. As a negro said to-night, ‘We 1 gwine to hab something Mting de occasion.” In lieu’ of the gerenade George T. Downing gave a good dinner to Mr. Revels at hts residence this evening. Besides the distin- guished) Senator elect there were present Senator Wilson, Senator Harris, Wiliam D. Kelley, Mayor Bowen, D. W. Bartlett, correspondent of the New York Independent; W. A. Cook, Corporation Attor- ney of Washington; General Ames and the entire Mississtppt delegation, with a number of the moss prominent negro politiciana of this District, maxing altogether about forty persons. ‘The dinner was of the most rechercné character, and every honor was paid the disuingutshea succes- sor of Jeif Davis. There were no speeches, those being reserved for.the serenade, but the company engaged tn lively conversation and remained until ‘® late hour listening to words of wisdom from the ps of the sable Senator from Mississippi. Recall of the Haytien Minister—Diplomats Sympathizing With General Tate. General Tate, the Haytien Minister, to-day called upon Secretary Fish and notified him that, in con- Sequence of the late turn of affairs in his country, bringirg Into power the revolutionary party, bis diplomatic functions were terminated. General Tate has been condolea with by many of the foreign ministers here, who have called upon him and treated him with distinguished consideration. The following is a translation of the letter of Gen- eral Tate to the President declining the invitation to the diplomatic dinner to-morrow evening, the origina! of which is in French:— General and Madame Tate have the honor to pre- sent their respectful compliments to his #xcel- jency, the President, and to. Mrs. Grant, and beg them to accepc their sincere thanks for the invita. on which they have received. While they feel profoundly the honor which 1s thus conferred upon thew, and nly appreciate the grandeur of tle motives which have caused them to be invited to the table of the first Magistrate of one of the greatest Powers of the world, the mournful condition in which they have just been placed by the late an- nouncement tais morning of the execution in Haytt of the Chef whose government they here represent obliges them to dectine this generous invitation. ‘They will always reiain in their hearts @ profound and eternal recognition, which ‘will be ghared by all the friends of humanity, all the deienders of justice and equality among men, to- wards this giorious chieftain, standing alone tn his- tory, who has not disdained to extend, personally, his poweriul hand to the most humble, to the poor Proscrived, to aid them to rise in the grand interest of humanity, of brotherhood and of civilization, Adjournment of the Mexican Claims mn is= sion. The United States ana Mexican jomt commission for the settlement of claims adjourned yesterday to meet again on the first Monday in June, 1870, when ail thie cases on the docket in which memorial proofs ana arguments have been filed will be taken up for adjudication and award, The four months reguired by the agents of the two govenments for thc collection of responsive evidence necessitates thia long vacation, Commissioner Wadsworth has already gone to Kentucky; and Licenctado Don Francisco Gomez Palacio will start in a few days for Durango, Mexico. Mr. Ashton and his assist- ant, Judge William Marvin, will remain in Wash- ington to attend tp the interests of American claim- ants. The rights of Mexican claimants will be guarded by their counsel, General Caleb Cushing. Reduction of the Army—A Presidential Veto Threatened. It ts gtatea that the President has informed a prominent member of thé House that he will veto any bill proposing a radical change in the organiza- tion of the army or reducing it beyond a cer- tain point either in officers or men. It is supposed that ne has reference to Logan’s bul, which has, been agreed upon by the Military Committee. This bill is known to be sternly opposed by Genera! Sherman and a majorly of the oMcers of the army, and it ts inferred that they have now the President on their side. Information Wanted—A Senator Missing. Everybody is still asking where Sprague, of Rhode Island, is hiding himself, The people of Harper's Ferry have been expecting him there for a month, at least, to enlignten them on the way to improve their condition by establishing manufactories and developing their mineral resources; but Sprague has kept shady, greatly disappomting tne anxious Virginians. Disclaims the Imputation. Congressman William ©. Sherrod, of Alabama, re- ferred to in yesterday’s despatches as an erratic car- pet-bagger, is very indignant at the fmputation. He declares he does not belong togthe carpet or leather- bag coniraternity, but that he is not only native and to the manor born in Alabama, but moreover one of the first, last and forever Union democrats of that State. His paternai parent before him wes of the same persuasion. The Van Wyck Contested Election Case. The Committee on Elections to-day decided to give toMr. Van Wyck the seat now held by Mr, Greene, of New York. Missourians on the Rampage. ‘The Missourians of the radical stripe held a jolliti- cation last night at the residence of ex-Governor Fletcher, im this city, over the decision of the United States Supreme Court sustaining the action of the Supreme Court of Missour! im ruling out Frank Biair’s vote at the election in that State tn 1868, There was a good deal of wine consumed, but none of the Blair family were invited. The Polygamy Bill. The bill abolishing polygamy in Utah was com- pleted and the chairman will report it as soon as the committee is called. The Site of the New State Department—Pro- posed Plans for Buildings for the State, War aud Navy Departments. The Joint Committee on Public Buildings, consist- ing of Senators Morrill, Trumbull, Cole, Stockton and Hamtiton, and Representatives Beatty, Getz and Smith, of Tennessee, met to-night in the Senate wing of the Capito! and considered the question of &@ proper site for ‘the new State Depart ment. The committes, after hearing a statement from General Michler, came to the conclusion to erect @ building on the grand corner of Seven- teenth street and Pennsvivania avenue, in front of the War Department. The idea is to construct ym the course of time a building to correspond exactly with the ‘Treasury Building on Fifteenth street, for the accommodation of the,State, Navy and War Departments. The State Department Buliding Will be put up im such a, way as to enable the con- tinuation to be made so as to accommodate the other two departments. The plan is received with great favor. In case, however, it should be determined to erect a State Department Butiding separately, then the committee will recommend as a site that part of Judiciary square fronting on F street. Blank Forms for the Revenue Service. The execution of the order issued vy the internal Revenue office on the 29th day of December, 1869, as set forth in circular No, 71, in addition to the use of the new blank form No, 52, has been suspended by the Commissioner until further orders, and the old form will be issued, FORTY-FIRSE CONGRESS.

CANADA AND THB WINNIPEG REVOLUTIONISTS. Mr. RAMSEY, (rep.) Of Miun., offered a resolution requesting the Committee on Foreign Kelations to inquire into the expediency of a media- tion by the government of the Uniled States between the Dominion of Canada and the Red Kiver fe ior tle settlement of the exisung difficulties and the establish. Tent of @ responsible govermment in Central Briuish America, In support of this resolution he gave & skevch of the late events in the Winnipeg ter- ritory, Which Were represented to be decisive of the control of the whole region from Lake Superior to the Rocky Mountains, over whicn the autnority of @ provisional governuient was now exicnded. So far the insarrec! has been directed ‘exclusively against the pt to enforce an act of the Vana- dian Parliament which sought to vest all legislative power iu & governor and council, without represen- tative institutions, He referred to the proceedings ofa convention of the people of Selkirk, held in ‘with the bill of rights unanimously and = wulch Au to" enter. the country Unul, &” guarantee of g count unt @ guaran of Unis bill of rights was ooiained from Ottawa, that a prociaimea himselt and autuor- a a vo Wage war on all who resisted Cana- dian aut '. ‘attempt to enlist indians ex- cited @ storm, rallied ali parties and resulted in the The result was the ascendancy of the pruvisional government, it had been recu by the Hudson Bay Company, and Canadian envoys were now ‘en- gaged in an earnest negotiation to induce the people to submit to Canada. He said the whole situation irresistibly suggested the duty of tne government of the United States no longer to remain a cold and un- sympathetic observer ol these In! ing events of the new Northwest. He urged that @ way should be found for @ submission to the people ot Selkirk whether they. desire to join their political destiny with the Uniced States or North Canada, and that the consent of England to such an expression by the inhabitants of Winnipeg district, and also of British Columbia, would be an instance of English magnanimity that would go far to adjust all exisung compiications. Canada was urged to ex- change the remote Nortawest for a new commercial treaty, which is not likely to be otherwise obtained. in conclusion, Mr. Ramsey read the resolution of the Minnesota Legisiature protesting agalust the exten- sion of Canadian dominion over the Northwest Territory by au order in council, without acuon by the people, aud proposing @ treaty which shall in- clude the Cession of the Ked river aud Saskatche- wan districts, aud tne construction of & Northern Pacific ratiroad in adjustment of ail existing con- troversies between the respective countries, * Mr. SUMNER, (rep.) Of Muss., rose to reply, but the time for the special order having passed, the reaolu- Hanae referred to the Committee on Foreign Re- ato’ NEW SENATORS ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEES. The Cuain designated the new senators, Messrs, Howeil, Lewis aud Johnson, to tll vacancies upon the Commitee on Political Disaviiues, Peosions and the District of Columbia THE CURKENCY BILL. ' The Senate resumed the consideration of th Currency bill, when Mr. BUCKINGHAM, (rep.) of Conn., delivered an address upon financial tupics, He held that the duty of the government was to furnish a sound currency for all sections, to main- tain the public credit and to secure the resumption of specie payments, the latter of whicn could only be secured by the co-operation of the banks with tue government. A sie resumption, he veilieved, would be impossible Without the aid of the govern- ment in the matier, and the tunding of the legal tenders gow in circulation was tue first step in tas direction, He argued, further, that the banking principles of tue government should be establisned upon Lnose Whicn ile at tue foundation of the inter- nal revenue. Mr. SUMNER, (rep.) 0% Mass., said he would tm- prove the opporvunity to say @ last word in favor of the meusure recently presented vy tim, and began by reading from leWers from various parts of ti country in approvai of his Vag tripe He believed the measure reported by the Finance Committee was defective aud Mischievous, Inasmuch aa it overiooked the great object of specie resumption. He argued to illustrate the necessity of reducing the volume of legal vender obligations and to prove that their graaual withdrawal would enhance not only the value of the remainder, but aiso of the bank note issel, both ascending in the scale, Tis enhaace- ment of the whole paper currency would tend, hie thought, to draw tie coin of the country from ii present geclusion, Mr. WILLIAMS, (rep.) of Oregon, defended the bill from the objections made againstit. [a reply to the accusation that the banks upon a gold basid, as au- thorized by the bill, would promote circulation, he conteuded that as bank paper approximated’ m value the opportunity for speculation would be les- sened, The cnarge iuat the people of the Pacific States in maintaining tneir coin circulation had manifested an uniriendly spirit towards the natioual currency he believed to be equally groundless, by keeping their @oid ana silver in use he thougnt they had materially aiaed in the resumption of specie paymeats; and another consideration to be remem- bered was that this bill was not exciusively lor the benefit of the Pacitic States, for the government was equally venefiied by making the currency uniform throughout the whole country, and extending tne volume Of paper circulation, the only advantage ac- craig therefrom to the extreme West being that which Was furnished by a more convenient circu- ‘ating mediums The amendment of Mr, Morron to increase the amounts of additional circulation from forty-tive to filty-two millions was agreed lo—yeas 39, nays 21.

Mr. SCHENCK explained the bill by stating that althouga the Committee on Ways and Means had veen instructed to report in che second week of the gession it Was impossible for the committee to do so in justice to the various interests of the country, whose representatives come before the commsttee day after day and evening after evening. The resuit of ail the consideration given by the commities to tne subject was the bill now presented. It was not @ general revision of the tariff, although the com- mittee had gone through a general review of tie tari, The vill was therefore amendatory of the taruf, and not @ general tariff bill, The items in the bill were confined to those in which changes were proposed, eitner in the rates or in the mode of im- posing the duty. Dutiable articles not meationed in the bill were to be regarded as not interiered with, but as being governed by the present law. Mr. CULLOM, (rep.) of Ill., mmquired whether the Dill was the unapimous report of the committee, ‘dr. SCHENCK replied that the order to report the bill Was unanimous on every item contained in the bill, He could fay that there were itcins omitted from the bill which he thought ougnt to be tn it, and there were rates of duties proposed in it which he thought either too high or too low. But, of course, there were no items in the bill shat had not received tue sanction of a majority of the members of the cominituee, and there had generally been a very tull attendance of members. Mr. CULLOM said that fs inquiry was whether the bill, a8 a whole, received the unanimous vote of te committee. Mr. SCHENCK suggested that the question was an improper one to be asked or auswered. His duty Was discharged when he presented the pill by order of the committee, as the embodiment of the views Of the Committee on the subjectof the tarif He would state, however, that tue committee endea- vored, whenever it was possibie, to convert ad valorem duties into spectiic duties, even where the change neither increased nor diminished the duty actually Imposed on the article. Ln other words, we committee had endeavored to substituie equivalent specific duties for ad valorem duties. Yue coim- mittee nad also tu this bill very much enlarged the tree list. on two accounts—tirst, that some arucies, suc as drugs, cost more to collect tae du- ties on them than the duties amounted to, and second, that other articles—raw maierials— eutered largely into tue industry of the country, @ud the dutres on them coud be abolished without imposing other duties. The committee thought, also, that to encourage the introduction of raw materials from abroad to be inanufactured bere would be an advantage to the shipping interest of the country. There was another pecuitarity in tue bill which made it ditfer from the otner tari bile. The committee had sought, where raw materia:s were produced inthis country, to give to them sowe measure of protection equivalent in some degree to the protection heretofore afforaed, prinotpally to Manufactured articies. This bill extended, at least, B little more advantage to the agricultural lotervsts of the country than any previous tariff uad done; but he did not wish to be drawn into a discussion of the merits or the bill, least of all of any paruicular Provision in it. Al! thet would come up at the proper time, when the House came to cousider tue Hil in detuil. Mr. ALLISON, (rep.), of lowa, amembper of the Com- mittee of Ways and Means, suggested that the con- sideration of the bill ve poatponed for at least two weeks. fhe bill alfected every material interest of the country so far as those interests could be af- fected by @ tariif for revenue or protection. The bul, a4 presented by the chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, changed the value of proverty ju this country to the extent of not less than fifty millions of doilars, Therefore it was important that the representatives ot the people should have time And opportunity to examine the bill before its dis. 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET. cussion Was entered apon.

It was true, as stated by the chairman of Sat the bil Hyon upon the free 2. notoing in vhe bill ip reterence to the abolition or reduction of the duty on coal. There was pong in reference to the abolitien or reduction of the aut! on salt. ‘There were otper articles uot affect ‘the bill which now bore a high rate of duty. Judgement the bill was constructed in the interest of rotection rather am the interest of revenue. it was in the interest of that ciass of people who would be avle to make large profits out of inaaufac turers, and not in the interests of consumers. For these reasons he desired that ample opportunity sould be given the Hor to examine the bill ve- fore the discussion uvon # commenced. MI. SCHENCK expressed his ret that his col- league on the commitvee had not confined ninseit to the motion before the House to have the bili printed and made the special order. If his colleague bad suggested vo Bim that he wisned @ later day to be fixed for the consideration of the bill n® would not have objected, but he did not unink that his col league shouid have taken advantage of that to enter into & general debate oD tie Dill at tins me, 118 colleague seemed wo misunderstand the general character, temper and jendeocy of the bill, Lie could only understand by remombering that ins col- Jeague Was absent from tue city eugaged in apotorr business, im which le (Mr. Schenck) was heartily sorry he bad not succeeded. (Laughter.) lie did not think that even where this bil made reductions the actual revenue Was to be thereby diminished. For instauce, the duty on cotfee was cut down from ive ta four cents, and on tea from twenty-five to twenty ceuts, a reducuon of twenty per cent, which would, on the face, make a decrease of avout five mijlions in the revenue. But the commitice was satistied that there would not be, in fact, any such decrease, by reason of tue in- creased unportation anv cousumption, So far as ne knew tle members of the committee had en- deéavored Ww keep in mind tree things—revenue, protection, consumpuon, Mr. Brooks, (dem.) of N. Y., satd that when the chairman of the Committee of Ways and Meaus re- marked that the reduction of duty on tea, sugar and coffee might, in view of tue increased consumption, increase rather than decrease the revenue, he explained the true theory, and he was only sor that the gentiewan did not carry it ous in iron, sieci, jute, carpeting, 4c. He (Mr. Brooks) concurred with the majority of the committee in reducing or abolish- ing taxes upon the raw immaterial of manuiactures, but he had expected, when that majority came to iron, steel, Woo.lens ana other articies, that there would be’ corresponding reductions. On tne con- trary, however, on manufaciured iron, steel, ourpet- ings aud thany other articles, tuere was an increase of duuies in the bill by a new and ingenious classii- cation of won, There hac been a rise on oars, round or square, of ton per cent; on rods and Wire rods, @ixteen per cent; on acroi, fat, loop, strip, scalp, sixteen per cent; on shector plate iron, noi glazed or polished, one-quarier cht per pound; gn three- fourtus Of unportation, not giazed or polished, ao increase of twenty-five per centon guage; on Lon Joop collar ties mdde of hoop, sixty-x per cent; on iron wire, from twenty-five tw forty-two per cent; on iron spiral furniture springs, trom thirty-five to fitty-tive per cent; ou sveet car wheels, one hundred per cent; on stee) carriage, locomott aod other springs, one hundred per cent; on trace, halter and feuce chains, one-faif cent per eng increase; on Wrougnt iron wasuers, huis, boits or rivets, from twenty-five to fifty per cept; OM steel carriage, car, locomotive ud other springs of steel, one huudred per cent; screws of iron, not enumerated, five per ‘cent; on steel, in ingots, Dlooms, billets, an average in- Crease of three-iourtus per cent per pound, On steel railway bars about one per cent per pound yn- crease, or forty-four dollars per ton—an increase of ninety per cent, Mr. Brooks then went on to ex- amine several other advances in manutactured steel and iron and brags, mentioning also the duty on nickel, as raised from fifteen per cent ad vaiorem to forty cents per pound. ‘{he reductions in the bill, he said, bad been ingeniously mace up on mere revenue articles, such a¥ tea, coffee, sugar, brandy, spices, liquors, &c., thus reducing the revenue in order to have an excuse for raising tne duty on iron, steel, jule, carpeting, woud even on oid type; but what was not done in the bill was far more censur- able than what was done. ‘Tne objecuouable duties stood upon coal, salt, lead, junber, hides, &c. {ne shoemuking interest Was presumed to be as impor- tant an luterest as the iron or the wooilen interests, ‘The duties on the raw materials were too bigh. On hides, len per cent; bark, twenty per cent; ofl for currying, twenty per cent; lumber for jasts and boxes, twenty per cent; from sioemakers’ tools, LO and a half cents per pound; thread, forty per cent; lastings, eighty per cent, aud the coal that warins the shoemaker in his shop, $1 25 per ton in gold. Ail these articles were now #0 high as to destroy tue large exportation of shoes aud bobty whicn tuls country once had, Mr. Brooks then went on to show that Mr. Schenck did not carry out bis idea of spe. citic dues, for he had applied. the mixed principle to women’s and children’s dress goods, “Six cents per square yard aad tuirty-five per cent ad valorem; Ww cioting apd wearing apparel, Mity ceuts per pound and thircy-five per ceut au valorem, and to carpets, ranging from fiity per cent for aubussou to one hundred and five per cent for drug. get. Wine was taxed in the bill two and @ half to five cents per pound and fit- teen per cent ad valorem; marble tn slabs, thirty per cent ad valorem and twenly-live ceats per su- periicial tool; ganpowdor, ten cents per pound or twenty per cept ad valorem. Here were measuring, weighing and specitics all mingled togewwer; und 50 1b was throughout the whole bill. They were all in- genious contrivances to bilad the people aad benctit the manufacturer, Mr. BCHENCK sald le wonid be comp sume the floor. he had intended ouly to luminary Matters at the threshold. Mr. GARFIELD, (rep.) Of Onio, inguired of Mr. Brooxs how it was as to pig iron. Mr. BROOKS replied that the auty gn pig iron wa: reduced from nine dollata to seven dollars per ton, and that there should have beeu a corresponding reduction of duty om all manufactures of ion, in- stead of which there had been an increase. Another member inquired as to wool. Mr. Brooks replied that there was no change whatever iu the duty on woot. Mr. SCHENCK agaiD sald he would have to resume the floor. He did not want parual, one-sic statements of the bill sent out to the coun- try at tnis time. He did not want to have the public mind prepossessed in udvauce of generat debate. He wouid not say now whetuer he thought that the auties on the various forms ot iron were as low as they should be. The committee had reported a reduction of duty on pig iron, and while he had sought at least not to raise the duty on ocher forms of manufaotared tron it had resorted to what it considered a very much improved classification, 80 a@ LO prevent frauds and collect the duties; and that Was about the whole of it, so far as iron was concerned. As to hides, he knew that the tanners and dealers in hides were in favor of their beng on the free list; but there were otver interests than theirs to be considered. He calculated that seventy- live per cent o1 ali tbe hides used in the United siates were raised here and the commitiee was wot mclined to put foreign hides on @ basis OB Which Alwerican svock raisers could not compete witha them. Mr. KELLEY, (tep.) of Pa., another member of the committe, saki he wished to put on record lits dis- sent frow the statements of Mr. Brooks as co tie i crease of rates on iron, Pig iron bad been reduced by ths bill more than tea or coffee, or sugar—troum nine dollars to seveu dollars per ton lo ius juage ment that Was ag unwise reduccon. Mr. MARSHALL, (demn.) of Il., another membor of the cominittee, declared himself oppexed in toto to the principi¢ oa Which the existing Tani vill and the one now reported were based, He did not con- sider this bill ay meeting the hopes and expectations of the country, or ax giving any relief wo the great indusirial clases. Tue suipoullding iucereat snd Vue agricultural interest were entirely overiooked Mr. Cox, (dem.) of N. Y., inquired whether tae Bil reported was mot au aggravation of ihe present monopoilaing, fraudulent, scoundréily system or taritis now exisung. Mr. MARSHALL replied tbat it was. Mr. BROOKS, having been cat Off In the midst of his speech, asked leave to lave printed the statistics and Ligures which he had prepared, to show what the viii proposed. i Was in the natare of a mtnority report. Mr. DICKEY, (rep.) of Pa,, objected. Mr. KROOKS—I Understand that the gentieman Who objevts comes Jrom the ntckel digtrict oF Penn. sylvanta, watch hag forty per cent provection in Uns pill.
