This nomination has been held up for some weeks on the objection of South Carolina senators. Major McKinley’s tariff bill, which was to have been presented on Friday to the full committee, is not yet born, and there is no telling when it will make its ap¬ ciates pearance. Major McKinley and his asso¬ are beginning to find out that they ha' e an elephant on their hands. On all sid< 8 opposition is vigorous and intense, ami the committee is trying to hammer the bill into shape, and get it reported to the house before it is emasculated beyond recognition. Au application from Mrs. Thomas J. Jackson for a pension for the services of her late husband, General “Stonewall” Jackson, in the Mexican war, was filed at the pension office Friday. General Longstreet was the witness. To the above was added tlie affidavit of Dr. Joseph Graham, who was present at the marriage July 15, 1857. of Lieutenant J. Jackson aud Miss Alary Ann Morrison.

The committee on agriculture, on Fri¬ day, reported favorably to the house,with amendments, of the Conger bill, defining lard, and imposing a tax upon and regu¬ lating lard. the Thc manufacture, bill, its etc., of compound in main features, is similar to the oleomargarine law, which the committee says has given general sat isfuetion, and the wrongs to be prevented and the benefits to be secured are in their jeneral character the same in both eases. The report concludes with the statement that the stupendous compound lard commercial trade ns carried fraud, on is a which it is the duty of congress to sup¬ press. The civil service commission has in the course of preparation a circular examination of instruc¬ tions to applicants for for the appointment to the government de¬ partmental service. A considerable por¬ tion of it is devoted to the discussion of the question: “Wheu may an appointment he expected?” In connection the with this subject, it is learned that, while quotas of several eastern, northern and western states are generally exhausted, those of the .' outliern states, especially ineligible* for 1 ppointment from the clerk registers, «io uu lucuuo full, llio fin t Vioiu^, U in stated, that competent clerks who can pass thc necessary examination from either Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina or Kentucky are reasonably certain of appointment. TOUGH ON CANADA, THE EFFECT OF THE NEW UNITED STATE! TARIFF ON HER TRADE. A dispatch if from the framers Ottawa. of Out., the says: [ appears as United ■State-; tariff changes had studied the dis¬ tinctive products and increased of each the duties province of Canada, on them atcordingly. The new schedule aims at Datario in tlie matterof barley lid apples at Quebec and New Bnmswich on horses and hay, and at Nava Hcotia and Prince Edward Island on potatoes and other vegetables. Nova Scotia also gets hard hit 111 the shape of increased duties on fisli. Those who have locked into the details of the new tariff, thiak it is a direct blow ut Canadian Irate with the United States. The duty unhorses is now twenty per cent.; the prcposal is to raise it to thirty per cent. Caiada sent last year 17,277 horses, val nee at $2,113,728, to thc United States. The increased duty is leveled against that trade, and wil full most heavily on Ontario and Quebec, whence 10,000 of the horses were drawn. The duty is on cattle, be for¬ merly twenty per cent, to raised to $ 1 * per head where the cattle are over a veer old, and $2 per head where less. Caiada sent 37,300 cattle, valued at $488,200, to the United States hist year. The duty on these imports would be, un¬ der the old rate, $9,764. Under the new rate it would reach, old. provided the cattle ire all over a year $373,090. Eggs, now free, it is proposed dozen. to Canada’s tax at the rate of five cents a ex¬ ports last year were 14,011,017 dozen. The tax at five cents would be $700,000. ft is in barley that the greatest damage will be done. The present duty on bar¬ ley is ten cents per bushel. It is pro¬ posed to increase thc rate to thirty cents. Last year Canada sent 6,984,504 bushels to the United States. The present duty on this quantity is $993,450. The new duty would aggregate $2,980,350. J* J. Bruner, editor and proprietor the Carolina Watchman his published Salisbury, died at home in that on Sunday.
