WASHINGTON, Feb, 20, 1875. THE BASIS OF THE LOUISIANA COMPROMISE. The basts of the new proposition for a compro- | vmise of the Loutsiana diflicuities, which Lieuten- ‘ant Governor Penn and otner prominent Louisi- sanians have come to Washington to effect, and which will be presented to the President on Mon- @ay next, Is substantially as follows:— The conservatives object to the Vongressional Committee assuming jurisdiction concerning the ‘election of 1872, claiming thar the officers and is- ues Invotved in 1872 and in 1874 were separate and entirely different. It is agreed that the members of the Legislature elected in J874 can | ‘give pieuges and guarantees, the most ample “and positive, for their own future action, and | the people will assent to let Kellogg alone, obey the laws and accord the de facto govern- Ment recognition as long as the President sustains | the Kellogg party in office, Ii, on the other hand, ‘the conservatives cannot get the resu'ts of 1874, erso munch as the Congressional Committee de- ide they are legally entitied to, they will not admit the tegality of the Keliogg election nor will they consent to exprese doubts as they believe to be the legal results of 1872 ‘Dut as this question has perpiexed the President and Congress, and both the executive and the legisiative branch of the government hesitates to Act upon it, it is not just toexpect the caucus Of the conservative members of the Louisiana Btaie Legislature to settle it. The conservatives Surther claim that they should not be required to recognize the iiega! Hatn house organization, and thus indorse or acquiesce in the acts of the 4th of January last. As a further act ef good faith the conservatives agree | not to press the Wiltz organization upon the republicans; but are willing that neither should be insisted uponand let the members de- | clared by arbitration reorganize the House. The Louisiana Congressional delegation, with the ex- ception of Senator West, whose indorsement ‘Was neither desired nor asked, have ap- proved the proposed compromise. Mr. Wheeler, of New York, considers it, in view of al) the circum- stances, a fair one, and to-night it is regarded as eertain of approval by the President and will be | Andorsed as the suggestions Of the administration ‘$0 those in authority in Louisiana, GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, -e WASHINGTON, Feb. 20, 1875.

His col- league Was Willing to give up protection to pig iron, and aii in order to have iree paysic. (Laugh- ter.) And so it went on. Every man had lis complaint. Mr, SMITH, Of Obio, spoke in favor of striking out © the section. Mr. BUNDY, Of Ohio, sent up to the Clerk’s desk and had read @ petition from amasa meeting of workingmen in Ironton, Ubio, in favor of tne bill. | Mr. BECK, of Kentucky, spoke in favor of striking out the section, and said the original object of the bill seemed to have been Jost sight o', because the greater the duty the less was tmported und the | greater became the cost. This ten per cent addr uonal Would simply reduce the revenue and ena- ble the Manulacturers to make the more money. A PROTECTIVE POLICY, Mr. MAYNARD, Of Tennessee, argued in favor ot retaining tue section. He declared himsel! the advocate Ol that protective policy whica had de- | veloped New England and Pennsylvania, and Which he hoped would yet make the South popu- lous and powertul. } Mr. Topp, of Pennsylvania, feared that the age of statesmansiip had passed, and been succeeded by one ofempiricism, He believed that the only way to retrieve the errors of the past was to retrace | the path, and to adopt a policy that would encour- age, stimulate and protect the right o1 the people | to work, live aud prosper. Mr. E. H. Koserrs, of New York, advocated the | retention Of the section, and argued that it would bring into the Treasury nearly ten per cent ud- ditional revenue on those class¢s of goods. Mr. Fore, of ilimois, thought that u good speech Might be made on either side of the tarill ques- tion. It was a Sword that cut two ways. But tue people whom he represented had settled down in the belie! that a tari suouid be levied ior revenue and not tor protection. Instead of levying ad- divoval taxes On imports, be was in favor of in- ternal taxation and of imposing @ tax on incomes. Mr. SPEER, Of Pennsylvania, sala that wheti the bili was @ revenue bil ora tarut bill, it was fase aud dishonest to attempt to make it a poli- Ucal bill. The simple question was whether tts | pussage was essential for the carrying on of the government. if so, then tt should ve passed; if not, it shoula be rejected. iuere were features about it watch commended it to some extent to ls approval, but ite objection- abie jeatures outweighed thos at present he should ve compelled to vote against it. When be heard it thrown tn the teech of Penu- syivania Representatives that they were faithful to her interests be could not but think that if the Representatives jrom New York Were faithiul to the interests of the American people rather than to those o! foreign importers tt would be better for State and naitonal prosperity. TAXING FOREIGN PRODUCTS. Mr. FIELD, of Michigan, declared limeelf in favor of taxing loreign products and thus deriving reve- nue from the pockets of foreign monopolists and capitalists. He thought that the auty on ail foreign manufactures should be increased ten per cent every quarter, and thas instead oj the country being drained of gold goid would flow tn. Mr. LovGNKIDGE, 0} Lowa, spoke in favor of striking out the filth section, declaring ‘hat 1: was nol im the interest the iron masters of Pennsy.vania. Tr. SCUDDER, Of New Jersey, favored the bill generally, as veing necessary to the support of the government, bec.use as @ rule a poor government represented a poverty stricken people. THE GLAZE OF THE IRON FURNA\ Mr. Parker, of Missoart, gave it as tne experi- ence Of his observation that when the tron masters of Pennsylvania were prosperous the whole coun- | Wy, a+ & general thing, Was prosperous, Wuile the biaze of the iron furnaces o| Pennsylvania coulé be seen at the foot of every iron monntain in the State there was prosperity over the wnole | bation. Bur when Chore jurnaces, from necessity and from tue effects of the panic, were conspeiled to go out of blast, every industry in the iand, agriculture in the West and manuiacturing in the Kast Was struck down. Tne question, therefore, Was Not local, but pertained to the whole nauion. CHEAPNESS OF CANADIAN CLOTHES, | Mr. Cox, of New York, paid bis compliments to Mr. Kelley, of Peunsyivania, and Mr. Field, of Michigan, alinding to the latter as “sweet fields arrayed ip living green and rivers of delight.” (Laughter) He called attention to the clotnes worn by Mf. Field and by himself (botn being somewhat pecullar in cut and texture), and said that be (Mr. Cox) had bought bis iu Canada tor $21. (Shouts of “smuggied.”) Mr. Figip—i got an American tailor to do my wool, (Laughter.) | Mr. Cox (to Mr. Fieids)—Keep sth. (Laughter.) $21 that would cost as here $507 these tari” arrangements. AMERICAN INDUSTRY AND PROSPERITY. | Mr. Brery, 0! Pennsylvania, spoke against strik- | It is becaus ing ont the fifth section, not because he was a | diana, Aeopayvanisn god seprevensed pig iron sornaces Mr. EDMUNDS, (rep.) of Vt. demanded @ sep- | said reservation as shall be found valid by virtue | fh vania | img protection with 0 that as it stood | of the revenue, but im that of | work, aod my clothes are spun from Micuigan and roiling mills, but because he held to the prin- | ciple ehatprosestio. to Amerivan industry is es- sential to American prosperity, Mr. POLAND, of Vermout, replied to some stric- tures of Mr. Wood, on the revision of the tariff, in which Mr. Wood: haa stated that the tariff auttes | had been inereased by thas revision, caused both by the clumsiness of the revision and by tne mis- shievous constructions of the Treasury Depart- ment, The dificnity with that gentleman and all those who criticised the revised statutes tn rela- | tion to the tari! was that they knew nothing about tt, Mr. SHANKS, of Indtana, said that if he be- lieved that an increased tari was necessary to carry on the government he should yote for the but ne did not believe it, and therefore be ald vote agatnat the bill. FARMERS AND MANUFACTURERS, Mr. Dousins, of New Jersey, said that as & ’ practical farmer he had always found taat under low tariff, or under the free trade system. the re- sult was general devastation, He believed that the interests of the farmer and of the manulac- turer were mutual When the great manuiac- turing interests 01 tite country were prosperous all the interesis of whe country were prosperous. lief that the increased duty on whiskey and to- bacco would promote irauds, He tought that seventy cents a gallon on whiskey and twenty cents @ pound on tobacco were large enough taxes, He ws opposed, therefore, to the increase Ol the tex on them, and he was also opposed to the restoration of the ten per cent on manulac- tured goods. Mr. ALBRIGHT, Of Pennsylvainis—Are you in favor of free trace ? A HIGH TARIFF ROBBERY, Mr, Storm—I am, sir, unqualfiediy; I always Dave been and am now. I believe that the curse of Pennsylvania is that we members of Congress are here in the character of beggars, begging for favors from the national government, and the ruin which now stares the interests of sranee in the face is owing to the Jact that the bigh tariff which has prevatied since 1860 has over stimulated production until jig iron and roiled tron are piled up mountain Bien, and there is no market for it. I indorse the doctrine of Mr. David A. Wells, tha’ bigh tarut is ‘4ike vaulting ambition which o’erleaps iiself and falls on the other side.”” Mr. ALBRIGHT—Does not the gentleman know that iron rose after the reduction of ten per cent on the duty? Mr. SroRM—I know that you can go toall the large iron manufacturers in Pennsylvania and you will find that they were caught with immense amounts of iron on hand, and now, with ali their protection, they have got no market for it and are askiug Congress io give them an additional bonus, I beheve that a high tariff 18 robbery, and nothing else but rovbery. Mr, SMiru, of Ohio, thanked God that there was a Representative trom Pennsylvania who rose above the peculiar interests of that Stare, He darea members trom the West to go home and say that they had voted to raise the duty on articles of prime necessity. COX AND KELLEY. Mr, KELLEY, of Pennsylvania, returned the com- pliments of Mr. Cox, speaking of him as a philoso- pher, a statesman and one Who must be a repre: sentative. He did not wonder that that gentle- man should go to Canada for his clothes, because nis whole policy was that American labor should be degraded to a level with that of other Jands, Speaking of Mr. Cox’s carpet-bag proclivities, he sald be expected to find him emigrating from New York and coming back to Congress from @ consut- uency that loved iree trade and droliery. A REVENUE TARIFF, : Mr. BECK, of Kentucky, expressed himself, not as a free trader, but asin favor of a tari! ior revenue. He hoped that some day the constitu. tion would be amended so as to have direct taxcs levied, not in proportion to population, but to wealth. Mr. MYERS, of Pennsylvania, opposed the strik- ing out of the flitn section, arguing that the great Want of the government was revenue, and that the great need of the people, whether in lile, pro; erty or Dusiness, was protection. He said:—“We committed a tolly in hastening to pay off the na- tionai debt. How shall our empty exchequer be Teplenisved? Internal taxes must be raised, chiefly on luxaries; but such taxes are very unpopular. But one source, then, remains—tue duties on foreign imports, ‘This tariff question | divided parties a few years since, the whigs favor- {ucidental revenue, the agemocrats favoring a tarif for revenue, the pro- tection being incidental. Yet now, when a chance | to test the sincerity of the latter 1s offered ona purely revenue bili, most of them, aided vy a few revenue reformers on this side, object to the Measure simply because 1¢ gives protection to American workmen. Iam sick of this sectional cry. This is not a Pennsylvania question. There ig no American industry in this antagonistic to another; bot one which, duly protected, does not give a heaithier growth to the rest. We cannot build up our commerce on eituer ocean by siriking a plow at American shipbuilding and buying our ssels on the Clyde. Mr. StoRM, of Pennsylvania, expressed the be- | We canuot aid our jarmers | to sell their grain by paralyzing every trade and | mechanic art, hor bring prosperity to the land by arresting manulaciures and driving the people of the cities into wait. grower when he buys his clothes abroad, nor the working people who make equally good ones at heme. ) est market where pauper lavor produces and close the workshops at home.

I protest against this wrong in tue name Of all the American peuple. Mr. WARD, of Illinols, ofered a proviso putting emery ore on the free list, and intimated that Mr, Dawes had been instrumental in having a tax of $3 or $4 a ton put avon it because a bed of it had been found in his own district. | Mr. DaAWEs repiied to Mr. Ward, and tronically | depiored that such breagth of statesmanship as had distinguished tie brief Cougressional career of that gentieman had bot impressed itseil see his admiring constituents, If that gentleman had Siudied ‘acis more and prejudice tess ue would not have made the speech which he had just made, because there Was no foundation of iact on which to base it. if had its birth in the New York Sun, and U any gentleman wented to know where to find anything but the truth be commended bim to that interesting paper. ° Mr. O'NEILL, 01 Pennsylvania, characterized the osition of nis colleague (Mr. Storm) in avowing uinseli a free trader 43 @ moat remarkable tact. It was the only case of the kind, witn one excep- tion, that he bad Kuown among Pennsylvania representatives within the last ten years, Mr. ATKINS, of Tennessee, protested against the increase of taxation on tobacco and whiskey, and characterized a protective tariff as an injustice. Mr. SPEER, Of Pennsylvania, in order to show the inconsistency o! nis colieague (Mr. Storm) sent to the Clerk's desk and had read an extract irom | a speech of Mr. Storm on the tariff of 1872, THE TEN PER CENT RESTORATION. Mr. AcpRiGuT declared himself in javor of the | ten per cent restoration, but not especially as a Pennsylvania measure, becanse the South needed it as much as Pennsylvania did, He re- marked that his colleague’s (Mr. Storm) district was the largest manufacturing district. of Pennsylvania, and that there were twenty-five thousand unemployed men there who were knocking at the doors o! Congress and petitioning their representative to vote for a restoration of that ten per cent. He had oniy to say that that gentleman's constituents did not gree with him in subscribing to the doctrines of free trace. Mr. Dawes defended the flith section of the bill, not as a New England measure, but as a Measure that would bring $5,000,00 into the Treasury and at the same time revive induetry all over the country. FREE TRADE PACTS, Mr. Corton, of Jowa, argued thata high tariff Injured the manulacturers as well as the farmers, because it added artificially to the cost of manu- | factures, 80 that they could not be sold abroad. Last year there had been exported only $196,000 worth of woollen goods, while wheat Was exported to the vaiue of $101,000,000. A bigh tariff injured the farmer by making him pay an increased price jor articles made in this country, while he was compelied, in selling nis products, to be governed by the price in Liver- ade Mannfactures coald not pe built up in the West because the high tariff had destroyed the Joreign market for American goods. Even those now engaged in manufactures complained that they couid not find a market for their goods, Mir, SioeM, of Pennsylvania, defended his post: Uion in deciaring hiinself a free trader, and sald that if a tars bill could be passed, the benefits of which would inure to the laboring classes, he would support it; but the fact was that such bilis were of no advantage to tne laboring classes, but only went to enrich manu- facturers. Ho commented upon the good- natured act of his colleague (Mr. Speer) in quoting against him remarks made by him on another occasion, and intimated that he (Mr. Storm) had wever had occasion, as bis col recently fad, to eamit that he had been for ive a Vote against hisown juagment (aliuding to he vote to abolish the iranking privilege), THR VOTE ON STRIKING OUT. Finally the debate on the pending motion was closed and the committee proceeded to vote upon it. The motion to strike ont the fifth section was defeated py a vote ot 95 to 103, Without Dassing on the sixth and last section of the bili the committee rose, THE TEXAS PACIFIC RATLROAD, Mr. CRUTCHFIELD, of Tennessee, presented a petition of the National Grange for aid to the Texas Pacific Railroad Company. Referred, Mr, ELLiort, of South Carolina, presented the resolution# of the Soutn Carolina Legislature to the same effect. Referred, DEATH OF 4OUN B. RICE.
