Abbott to # seat as Senator trom North Carolina, The Senate refused to lay arice the Tarif bil), and Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN addressed the Senate upon it. He said that the prop: d reduction of taxation ought to be made in the way that would be the least onerous and annoying to the peopie; and he argued that the taxes ought to be removed from those articles which are necessaries used by ail and which are not produced in this country, and ought ‘to be imposed on the mauufactures produc. Yons of our own country, so that our indostrial class may, under the system’ of society in which they be able to compete successfully with the wer prices of the European system of society, business of our government, he said, was not merely | dente life, hberty and poverty, but aiso if it could gee to it the American artisan shall buy the productions of the ican farmer, and that the American farmer shall buy the productions of the American artisau, rather than that efther sha!) buy of sake te munufacturers or producers, and be denied that commodities are cheaper where wazes are Jower, or that protection is favorable to commerce, Mr. ‘MORTON, (rep,) of Ind,—For thé purpose of bringing the whole subject of the reduction of taxation before the te, and believing that it may legitimately be considered on this bill, 1 offer the following as an additional section: “All laws and parts of laws creating or imposing taxes uvol domestic products and upon stamps, except the tax upon irits, fermente. liquor and tobacco, are hereby repeated, repeai to take effect on tv Ist day of Octover, 1872.” Mr, SUMNER, (rep.) of Mas: Sele to do with the extent Internal Revenue Departmen Mr, MORTON said that tue question would come up in the course of the debate. Mr. SUMNER said the abolition of internal taxation would be of little advantage uuless the tribe of office-nolders con- nected with it were abolished also. Mr, SHERMAN said that the subject of internal taxation bad not been introduced tn this bili for the reasons already stated, but that undoubtedly the reduction of internal taxes would be accompanied by a corresponding modiueation of the machinery for coll ing them. Mr. COLE, (rep.) of Cal., said the Executive had the power to make the neceasrry reduction of the Internal Revenue De- partment. Mr. SuMxRR said it wasa Ought not to intertere and abol waiting for THE ACTION OF THE EXECUTIVE, Mr, JOHNSTON, (dem.) of Va., made an argument for free trade, and said tat the protection so called was only protec- Mon against low prices and against people Jiving as easy and comfortably as they could without it, Protection also tended, he said, to produce agrarianism and communism. Bpeaking of the taritf on iron, he challenged Mr. Scott to cai culate how iiigh the price of iron would go if the importauion of it were stopped. Mr. SOOTT, (rep.) of Pa., said he would give Mr. Johnston some data on whieh to make the calculation for bimseif, and stated that since the reduction of the duty on pig iron to #2 @ ton the price of iron, both domestic and imported, had asked Mr. Morton what he and costly machinery of jue-tion whether Congress jb the machinery without ne up $8 a ton, our. AWYEM, (rep.) of of & C., gave notice of a motion to a THE PRESENT DUTY ON RICE, 4d there were tew branches of industry in rice-produc- ates which were aided by protective duties, while the Feople of those States paid taxes on almost wil they con- sumed, forthe peneit of the industries of other Staves, There were peculiar reasons for aiding industry at the resent time. The Jand owners had nothing ee left after . The freedmen were the only class who nad gained i wealth. They had acquired the rizbt to themselves. ‘The land owners had to borrow. money at, enormous rates to planting operations, ‘The South, therefore, asked the same protection for her labor that had been so freely extended eisewhere. they asked for the reten- fon ot the duty on rice. Mr, Sawver described at length the expensive and complicated — pro- cess require! for the production of rice. During the the rice elds were eraliy abandoued, being near the theatre of war. This neglect for four years almos: threw the lands back into the valueless iinet" from which the labora of generations bad reclaimed them, Without the | day ‘would have been imposmbie’ to restore the rice fields to cultivation after the war. Continue the daty for ® few years and the old rice lands wou'd again be brought into cultivation and new fields added, and the Planters could then prosper without'it, “There were prob- y TWENTY THOUSAND FAMI! IF8 in Georgia and South Carolina depending upon rice culture for support. Almost the entire benelt from the proposca reduction would accrue to the benefit of a few importers and dealers in forelgn rice. ‘Mr. HILt, (rep,) of Ga., expressed the opinion that before any geveral revision of tne tariff there ought to be some dis position made of the Internal revenne list. He did not a ree ‘with Mr. Sumner that the establishment could now be got nd Of entireyy, but he thought it might be REDUCED ONE HALF, He thought it wonld contribute to popul @ uniform tax upon tobacco ot every descr! Mr. SHERMAN Offered a resoiution limiting debate on the Tariif bill to theamendment pending at the time, and limiting each apecch to. ten minutes, and said be would ‘cai it up to- morrow. Mr. EDMUNDS said it was not fair for Mr. Sherman, after he had spoken at jength upon the bill, to attempt now to pre- vant others from doing the sume thin Mr. SHERMAN said he had ascertaled that no other Sena- tors desired to make long speeches, Mr. EDMUNDS said that if so the proposed gag was unne- content to import ‘iption.

Mr. MAYNARD, (rep.) of Tenn., asked Mr. Conger it the bili would be satisfactory to him in case i: were amended 60 ‘as not to apply to umber. ‘Mr. CONGEX said it wowld; and he went on to argue that the lumber Interests of Michigan would be ruined by the > Mr. FARNSWORTH, (rep.) of TIL, appealed to the House for the Immediate conslueration and passage of the bill, The prices of building materials in Chicago had doubled and trebled in cousequence of the great demand; it was to stop that increase of prices and to check combin purpose that this bill was designed. It would gion, but the discussion should take place now. Mr, Hoventon, (rep.) of Cal. argued that the people of Michigan had been greater sufferers by bre than the peopie of Chicago had been, and that the bill was, therefore, an unjust discrimination against the former. He wished to have the bull postponed untli be and bis colleagues were prepared to BCLIBS It.

Would that be « wrong to Michigan, W iscon: sin or any other State? Was the xovirnment, be asked, to stand by lke a freebooter and robber and demand of ‘the people of Chicago a tribute upon their calamity ? r, DAWES opposed its reference, and insisted that tho bill should be voted on now, and without any amendment Dill, not as a measure of ational importance to com, for back to the Senate it might lie there for mont! r. HA , (feD,) of Ill, pleaded for fmmectate action on the bill, declaring that its ‘postponement wouid be equiva- lent to its detent. Mr, STORM, (dem.) of Pa., pointed out that the benefits of the bill were not resirtcted to the sufferers, but those specu- lators who had bought lots in Chicago since the fire would share in the benetits.

Lima, Peru, Fev. 26, 1872, On the 19th inst, the venerable Archbisnop of Lima, Don José Sebastian Goyeueche y Burreda, departed this life for a vetter, The event was not unexpected, for the Archbishop had @ short time before received a severe injury, from which the physicians declared he could not recover, but nevertheless the grief in Lima 14 unl versal Dr, Goyeneche’s iife is marked by some very peculiar incidents, Uf a most distinguisned family, possessed of immense wealth—his personal property amounting to upwards of twenty sillions of soles—he steadiastly refused to gratify the wishes of his parents, who desired him to follow a military career, and at an early age ne entered the Church, This was during the Colonial period, shortly after the decisive victory or the patriots over the Span- lards Goyeneche was made Bishop of Arequipa, which important post he held for forty-one years, aud on we death of Dr. Pasque!, in 1860, he was promoted to the Archbishopric of Lima, he had the honor of being at the same time the oldest Bishop and Archbishop, the first 10 regara to tank, and the second with reference to nis age, in the Catholic Courch, Still the Archbishop met with some misioriuues, While bishop of Arequipa, in the midst of one of those pumberiess revoluuons Waich have ailiicted Peru, mniless chieltuin im- Dosed a forced loan of $100,009 upon Lim, Although he had the required sum at his disposal, the Bishop demurred at tne payment and fed irom his diocose, leaving the revolutionary geueral in sad straits, Fortuuately the government triumphed, aud the Jaithiul Of Arequipa again welcomed thelr pastor. ‘The immense wealth of Dr Guyeneche hag never been employed except for nls personal beneit, in spite of his spotless lie and many Virtues avarice Was an intiereut vice, Fearful of Joss Irom tae civil disturbances in Peru, his money Was deposited in the Bank of England or invested in the mosc excellent of the foreign securities, and now passes to his Immediate family. according to Peruvian custom the honors erally accorded to @ Held marsnal are his due, aud the preparations for the funeral are beimg conducted on a sumptuous scale, Tne body lies in stave for five days, sur- rounded oy tapers, {riars and guards—ine latter hstemug no duubt With admiring ears to the har- monious warbling of their frocked companion While the belis of the sixty churcnes of Lima an tne roar of the guns fired every hall hour from the fortress of Santa Catalina produce an effect con- trary to agreeavie, Of course the Bishops of Peru are already in hot discussion as to tue succession, ‘The appointinent 18 made by the Pope, at the recom.

William Schley, one of the oldest, ablest and most honored of Maryland lawyers, died in Baltimore Wednesday morning. William Schiey, who was for nearly half a century afamiuar presence in the Baitimore court rooms, was vorn in Frederick, October 31, 1799, and was consequently in hia seventy-third year. His great grandfather, Thomas Schley, was one of the first settlers in the valiey of the Catoctin, and there many of his descendant: remain, The subject of this sketcn graduated at Nassau Hall (College of New Jersey), 1n 1821, aud took the first honors solus in every department of study. Shortly afterward she entered upon the study of the Jaw, and being cailed to the bar in 1824 com- menced the practice of the profession in Frederick county, There Mr. Schley continued to reside unt 1837, enjoying an extensive practice in that and the adjoming counules of the circutr. In 1837 he removed to Baltimore, wnere he speedily rose to great eminence in lis profession, Prior to his removal to Baltimore Mr, Schley married a daughter of General Samuel Ringgold, of Conco- cheague Manor, in Washington county, Maryland, This lady, wno died in June, 1870, was a sister of Major Ringgold, of the United States Army, who was killed at the battle of Palo Alto, May, 1846, in the Mexican war, and also of ihe late Rear Admiral Uaiwallader Ringgold, of the United States Navy. Jn 1836 Mr, Schley was elected a member of the Senate of Maryiand and served throughout the enlire session of 1436-37 aud part of the session of 1837-38, when whe resigued in consequence of having removed his residerice to Baltimore, and also with the intention of giving his attention more closely and unrestrict- ediy to his prolession, In 1836 the question of con- stitutional reform created great agitation through. outthe State. As Chairman of the Judiciary Com- mittee in the Sena’e, and more especially as Chairman of the Committee on the Constitution, Mr. Scnley necessarily bore a couspicuous part in the discussions and proceedings which then took place, and prepared and reporved the drait of the constitution of 1836, which proved unsatisiactory to some leading members of the reform party. In the discussions which fol- lowed it was reported vo Mr. Scley that remarks hau been made by Willtam Cost Johnson reflecting upon his action in the matter, and in fact a-cribing Dis course tu personal motives and to bis relations sip Lo persons in ollice, Whose offices would have been abolished If the views of the reformers had prevailed, Resenting the imputation upon his oifi- Ciui integrity, and having no reason to doubt that Mr. Jonnson’s words had been correctly reported to him, Mr, Seniey sent that gentleman a per- emptory challenge, which Was accepted. and the parties met near Alexandria, February 13, 1837. There was but a@ single exchal of shots. At the first fire both were wound Mr. Schley but slightly, Mr. Johnson more severely. Mr. Schiey was accompanied to the field by Daniel of St. shomas Jeniier, of Maryiand, and Governor hasta Ng South Carolina, who acted as his sec- onds, Mr. Johnson's seconds were Governor Henry A. Wise, of Ms and General Campbell, of south Carolina, Hall ai Causin were im attendance as surgeons. Colonel Stewart, of Montgomery, was also present as a per- sonal friend of Mr. Jonnson, and the late James Alired Pearce John Lee, of Needwood, were present as iriends of Mr, Schiey. General Waddy Thompson, of South Uaroima, was also upon the ground as @ mutual litend, and, a4 was sul quently understood, at the instance of Henry Ulay, with the purpose of preventing, if possible, undér any circamstances, a second fire. These four last named gentlemen had, however, no connection with the afatr, nor was there any occasion jor General Thompson's good oilices, Aiter the exchange of shots, witn the result as stated, mr. Johnson, of his own accord, stated that he was aware of the imaccurate report Which had been made of his language to Mr. Sciiley, and that the latter was pertectiy justified in basing his challenge upon such report, abd that he regret- ted that he had not felt at liberty, upou receipt of word We chailenge, to deny baying pierced aawule | Candidate. when he presided over a whi reflecting upon Schiey’s motives, The parties were reconciled apon the ground and remained warm triends thereafter.

LABOR PaRTY’s NOMINEES, Strange Predicament of Judge Davis and Governor Parker—They Don’t Know That They Have Been Neminated—Governor Parker Tongue-Tied and Nettied. Since the lavor party held its convention there has been much speculation as to the position its nominees will assume im the Presidential canvass; but, strange to say, Judge Davis and Governor Parker, who are reported to have received the nominations, have been remarkably silent, not only conceruiug themseives, vut concerning political questions generally. To break the spell a HERALD reporter cailed last evening on Governor Parker to ascertain the cause of his recent strange silence, and for information about the party whose standard bearer he 1s supposed to be. The Governor was found in his room at bis hotel in Trenton, all alone, pondering apparently upoo the mixed poiltical issues in which he has got to play some part or other during the approaching canvass. He was not, however, completely lost in the maze, and, throw- ing aside “the troubled thought” on the appearance of une reporter, waited for business wituout alarm. After the reporter had explained the ovject of his visit, the Governor said:— “Yes, itis rue, [have not said much lately, nor do I mean to say @nytiing, oD political afluirs uuder existing circumstances.’ “surely, Mr. Governor, @ gentleman who has re- ceiveu the pominatiog for the Presidency from an influential convention cannot asford to retire from the pubic gaze?"? “There 1s trath in that, too; but the circumstances to which I allude arise out of the very nomination to which you reer, You see, 1 am at the present moment Placed in a very delicate position. it nas gone over the couairy that Judge Davis aud myselt have received the nominations of the labor party couvention; yet I am unabie to say that we have been nominaied, for the reason that up to tne present hour the Convention nas in no way officiatiy made known to me at least vat 1 was the choice of tue Convention for the Vice Presidency, theretore plain that | cannot speak as the standard bearer of the Jabor party, aud equally plain that, pending the silence of the Convention in regard to me, it would be improper to advance views on pub- lie questions at variance with those of the labor party, If it happened that such views were sustained y Te.’ “Has not Judge Davis been oMictally told of his nomination 7" “So Jar as I know be has not, Immediately after his nomination, and while the Convenuen was still sitting, some one telegraphed to him the informa- tion; but I think he has not been officially notilied.”’ “What course do you intend to pursue in refer- ence to your nomination, snould you receive ofi- cial mformation of it? “1 decline saying ansthing avout that, [shall send a reply in writing.” -*You are reported to be a strong anti-Grant man.
