Tbe way* and means committee of Congress have adopted a tariff bill, audit favors a high tariff for UfbMbtMD." The "bill as adopted ; by ?hd CoWmittce is a modification the, Me Kin ley bill, and lie inten tion is to meet a difficulty created under Mils present statute by doeix- .ions of the ...Treasury Department condemning the duty to lie levied on cotton ties. These tics arc made from hoop iron which pays a duty of 1$ cents a pound. The ties have generally come in as "manufactured,” net specified in the hoop-iron section of the law, at a duty of ‘15 per cent. A decis ion of the Treasury Department put the ties back under hoop-iron, which doubles the duty. ' The hill agreed upoa takes the same ground. It Is. of course, general in its pro visions, and raises the issue direct ly Iretweon the protectionists and free-traders. Under the bill no ■ MAnge in an article made from -'Ifttl’Or steel’din reduce the duty “toliif ariiffiMt-Wr *t leant thedu- ' l.y paid ]>y iron npd steel or the component parts of the most value J In its latest priorfonn. :u!

''"Hit may be 1 said that this tax ou cotton ties'Is but a small matter, amounting to only a few cents on a bale. .But lot us look a little closer into tho matter and sec what our ■ 1 planters do really pay the iron manufacturers of Pennsylvania. At the full rule of 10 per cent, tar iff on cotton ties the planters ot the South paid during tho cotton year of 1878-9, when the crop was f>,073,531 bales, a sum amounting in tho aggregate to over one mil lion of dollars, or twenty cents per bale. Of this aggregate amount t^e government got only $1,227, as there were few lies imported. Tbe balance went into the pockets of tho Iron manufacturers of Penn sylvania, who by this infamous class legislation were enabled to placo 70 per cent, upon the legiti mate price ot their manufactured goods. Wo commend these figures . to the editor of the Warren ton Clipper, as allowing how u pro tective tariff puts money into the pockets of the manufacturers, i This million ot dollars is paid by the cotton planters out of their bard earnings, and they are not al lowed. It on the prico of their cot ton and thus recover it, us the mer chant does upon his goods, for about two-thlrtls of all the cotton grown iu the United States finds a market in. the foreign countries; and 1 under • sucb circumstances the American planter is foroed to soil his cotton at the price offered by , oreign buyers, which price is de termined by the rate at which the cotton growers of India, Brazil, At- ‘ rica, Central America and the Pa cific Islands arc wiling to dispose of their products in the same mar- ket. In other words, the cotton ipinntcr is forced to sell his products in the cheapest market in the world, and not allowed to buy in the same . .market. Tliiif high tux on cotton , „ tics is simply legislative robbery. • • •>,! Sw' m ■ — The house committee has deci ded in JjtVbr pf an apportionment , . ou the basis, of 320 members, or , , 040 member to every 151,28.7 in- .- -'habitants.

Oitr On].Id. It ! ; liTFcfifli 1 A young man in Grayson conn- 13' Va.,was working in new ground wiien be dug up $1,000 iu .silver and $350 in gold, supposed to have Thc’A nrusiW been bid b} r some one during or be fore tiie war. tli • I n *-irni Gregory Strenoni, an Italian G . £ nu'4iiiiii/ft merchant of Petersburg, Va., wa - oville and Ileid,counsel for Gui ian, appeared, and the former in quired ol the court in respect to the form of his bill ot exceptions, whether he would he compelled to except specifically or whether a general exception would suffice. Judge Cox stated that, under the practice of the court lie would have to except specifically. Scovillc then stated that lie lmd intended to file his motion for a new trial, Imt lie would like to have until Mon day. Tho District Attorney ob jected, and Scovillc staled that in that case lie would file his motion this afternoon in the clerk’s office. Tho District Attorney asked that tile court assign Tuesday next for the hearing of argument upon the motion, but upon representations from Scovilie that lie would scarce ly able to enter upon argument at that time, tile court declined to iix a day at present. Shortly before live o’clock Ibis afternoon Scovillc filed with the clerk of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia the papers upon wljich he liases his motion or motions for the new trial. Not being familiar with practice in this district, Scovillc concluded to lib- two motions to insure hiinselt against the possibility of being de prived through any legal technicali ty Of the right of review by the ccurt in General Terms. The papers filed in support of the motion are the prisonci'.t affidavit, an affidavit ol Prcdcriet II. Snyder as to the finding of a newspaper under cir cumstances indicating that it hail been read by the Jury; an affidavit of J. W. (iuitean that lie is ac quainted with the signatures ol live jurors whose names arc written on the margin of the newspaper sum to have been seen by the jury; that lie has seen them write their names, and believes the writing upon said newspaper to have liccn made In the jurors named. The last affi davit is that of Scovillc, setting forth the newly-discovcrcd evidence upon which lie bases his motion for a new trial. Mr. Scoville’H ap| lication for a new trial Is based upon the grounds of uncertainty of the verdict, “guilty as indicted." The indict ment consists of different, varying and inconsistent counts, and the verdict does not specify upon what count or counts it is found. Also tiie lack of jurisdiction, errors in tlic rulings, in the charge to the jury, in excluding some and reject ing other evidence, misbehavior on the part of tlic jury, ami new evi dence discovered. The main reliance Is placed upon tho affidavit of Snyder. The latter says lie is a resident of Jersey City; was a guest at tlic National Hotel iu December. During his stay there lie passed through the cor ridor, and observed tlic door of one of tlic rooms occupied by the jury open, and on tiie tabic within lay a newspaper, which lie secured, was a copv of the LVe/me/ CI'tfir of December 19th, ami upon its margin were the nnuics of several of the jurymen, wiitten in ink. Jno. \V. Gultcau in Ids affidavit declares that these names arc l lie autographs of tlic jurors named. This newspaper was handed Sen- villc with a statement ol the cir cumstances. • A country joimnniist enters tin- liiild protect: "A doctor "ill sit down and write a ineeription; time, live minutes; paper and ink, one fourth of a emit, and the patient | rk.tipi $1, $2, $5, $10, as the ease may lie.
