The Xnrlir Bill Before CougreM,
That our readers may have some definite idea
of what the Tariff Bill before Congress is, we
make llie following extract from the New York
Honing Post, a Republican paper, which never
theless hits not lost, as its radical com peers have,
:ill sense of what is due to the great agriculture
interests of the country; to the laboring men
in all vocations; and to the poor. The Post
styles the bill, “a bill to increase the necessities
of life, and to grind Die faces of the working
men,” a title it well merits, aud it thus warns
against the moustrosity ;
We must again warn Congressmen against the
atrocious tariff bill now before the Senate. No
man who expects to continue in public life can
afford to vote lor that bill, which discriminates
heavily against the mechanics and farmers of a
country in favor of the wealthy.
It does this in an ingenious way, which makes
the tariff a muddle to any but experts. It is a
fact that in this tariff bill the cheaper qualities of
cloth are to have a much higher proportion of
duty laid upon them than the high-priced cloths.
Tbits, woolen coatings, the gold cost of which is
$1 OH per yard, are to be raised twenty-four per
cent, higher; but Die fine and costly qualities, the
gold piice of which is $2 40, arc raised only
eleven percent.; and still finer qualities, of the
gold cost of $2 00, are raised only ten per cent.
The coarser coatings tire to pay from eighty to
one hundred anu twenty per ceut. in duties, but
Die finer and more costly are burdened wiUi from
sixty-five to seventy cents.
The same is of carpets. The duty on the
high-priced carpets is not raised at all; that ou
low-priced carpets is raised ten cents per square
yard, about five per cent In the same manner
there is no increase ou silk dress -goods, which
are bought Ity the wealthy; hut on small articles
of silk, such as ribbons, which are used by the
poor its well, there, is aujpncrease of ten per
cent. High-priced lingus are even put under a
diminished duty—they a/e to pay five percent,
leas than now.
The commonest kinds of cutlery arc to pay
from one hundred to two hundred per ceut. duty;
that is to say, farmers and mechanics, aud work
ing people generally, areta.be made to pay, by
this atrocious tariff, twice or three times as much
;is the articles can tic imported tor; for, of
.coisj-.su, the home manufacturer will at once put
up his prices to the highest limit at which he
can just undersell the importer who lias these
duties to pay.
This atrocious swindle upon the farmers, me
chanics, and workingmen of the United States
ought to be called “a bill to still Umber increase
the prevailing high prices, and to grind the laces
of American workingmen.” That will l»o its
effect it it become a law; it will still further
raise prices, add greatly to the cost of home
production, thereby entirely disable us from
trading with the rest of the world, and make tiie
country poorer aud poorer all the time.
Commenting on the foregoing expose ot the
proposed “ swindle upon the fa mere, mechanics,
anti working men of the United Stales,” the
Washington City National Intelligencer says, that
.“ every Southern vote that can be kept o-it of
Congress is a vote in the interest of the uianu-
tacturiug monopolist, the operations of which,
as above described by the Post, literally drives
the people of the West to Die wall. It griuds
.otill further in the dust the prostrate industry ot
/he South. It clips the wings of commerce,
which has already fallen off by a million or two
of tons. It takes bread from the mouth of the
jnjor. Meantime colossal fortunes are rising
maintain high in the Eastern cities. They rise
indeed, ‘ like mountain peaks above the low
taWefAud’ of erippied means, or poverty and
(indebtedness, that expands far and wide at their
base.”
\V hat a picture is here presented 1 The mere
facte embrace.! in the extract quoted front the
Post's article are enough to shock the public
mind. Well may the bill lie termed an “ atro
cious swindle!” The star ol New England,
however, is in Die ascendant, while that of the
SouDi is beneath the horizon, and the Great
Wesl so partisan and fanatic that she only re
flects light from Dm East. The bill, we tear, will
pass, and fora lime at least, the “ farmers, me
chanics, aud working men ol the United States”
must pay the penalty it inflicts upon their in
dustry, to add to the ill-earned wealth of the
manufacturing aristocracy of New England.—
Be it so! The cup will be soon drained to the
dregs, aud then will come that sober, second,
thought, which will "render unto Cse-eir that
which is C;esar s,” or there will be no justice in
the laud.
Trouble in Utah.—The troubles at the
headquarters ol jlofiuondom seems to be on the

"The universal topic of conversation ou the

.counseled by the teachers to wiThold their pa
tronage from those ‘ enemies ot the jreople, the

Not Grit tv.—A dispatch from Aylmer, C'an-
jula East, says:
The trial of l.Vv Joseph Babin, for Die murder
ot his sister, a helpless cripple, has occupied tour
•lavs, and created intense imerest throughout the
country. The evidence for the prosecution was
entirely circumstantial. She was last seen alive
in the prisoner's house, aud was afterward found
drowned in the river. The defense was also cir
cumstantial. It shows that deceased left for Ot

Jins since disappeared. The verdict was given—
not guilty.

Rotation of Crops.
The physiology of piants is such, says the
Rural New Yorker, that scarcely any two of
tlrein take from the grotfnd or the atmosphere
the same kind of nutriment in equal proportions.
Hence it follows that in continuous cropping, of
the same produt, much of the productive power
of the soil and of the fertilizers combined with it is
lost or remains inert. This loss may be retrieved
by a judicious system of rotation, by which means
all the elements ol growth are brought into suc
cessive action and rendered available for farm
products.
Perhaps the order of the crops is uot of spe
cial importance. One might begin a system
with roots; follow with cereals, peas, and beans,
and then pasture or meadow, according to the
tastes or necessities of Die farmer. Some lauds
will do well in pasture for a series of yeara So
of the meadow, but as a general rule, the best
results are attained by changes every three or
four years at the most.- If oftener made, the
chances Of remuneration are believed to be im
proved, while Die soil is relieved from the thou
sand ’ noxious plants, which impair its vitality
without returning anything of value by way oi
recompense.
Overstocking tiie Land.
J. R. Hursay, Tuftonbqrough, N.-H., strikes
the key uole.oi profitable farming' in a few sen
tences about keeping a certain kind of stock.
The principle holds good for all stock, and for
all methods of cultivation, viz., keep only what
stock you can keep in the best manner, and cul
tivate only such a number of acres as will return
a certain profit. “The point where many stum
ble,” says Mr. H., “is this : they overstock their
farms—only half teed their animals—let skeleton
cow frames drag themselves about their premi-,
ses, and then complain because their dry bones
do not give milk like the cows of farmer B.,
which are well kept. When cows are kept for
the. dairy it is possible and proper—yes, it is a
duty—to keep them in the best manner tor profit.
If you cannot keep four well, try two ; the two
well kept will return more' net income than the
four half starved, and labor aud the use of capi
tal are saved. The value of the cow is deter
mined partly by her pedigree, tut the keeping
has more to do with making her profitable or
otherwise.”
The Dress in the Black Grook.—A New
York correspondent of the Petersburg Index
gives the following account of the dress of the
ladies” in the celebrated play of the Black
Crook, which has had such a famous run in New
York. He says:
The ballet troupe consists of better looking
young ladies than the ordinary run of such
troupes, and It is astonishing to see to what a
degree of perfection they have reduced the prac
tice ot economy in dress. If Mrs. Eve could
find herself in Niblo’s, I think that she would
feel perfectly at home, and Mr. Adam would not
think of blushing atallon account of his scantily
supplied wardrobe. I don’t exactly know bow
to describe the costume, but it reminds me very
much of pictures that I used to see in Mitchell’s.
geography, when I was at school, of ‘native
Hottentots.’ It is a mighty convenient costume
for dancing. You can’t tread on her skirts to
save your life, and there is no danger of beiug
tripped up liy crinoline as you go ronud in the
German. No collars or cuffs to be mashed ; no
sleeves to be ripped ; in short, it is so close to
nothiug that you are a long time finding out the
difference ; and if you don’t like my description,
just come on, buy two tickets, and I will carry
you to see it.”
Go It “ Brick ! ”
We find the following good one in the columns
of the Washington City National Intelligencer.—
“Brick Pomeroy” Is a trump, and an ace at
that!
General Butler has written to “Brick Pome
roy,” editor ot the La Crosse Democrat, offering
to withdraw the $100,000 libel suit against him
it he will stop his personal attacks in the Demo
crat. “Brick” declines the offer, aud says lie shall
riianage his own defense and prove every charge
lie has made, if Butler goes on with the suit
What Does it Mean ?•—We find Uiis item in
the New York Repress ot the 29th ult.:
The Atlanta Common Council, imitating the

profane and ill-mannered.
We don’t know what Die aliove means, but tiie
moral is this: That when there is dirty linen to

Conspiracy Against 6«>eral Grant
Washington, Jan. 26.—Son?® lime since, wri
ting on the subject of impeachm^b I spoke of
Mr. Ashley and Ben. Butler as rivals tor the
leadership of the movement, and wondered how
they meant to settle it between themsfelves so hS
to determine who should wear the lauiels, whp»
the victory was won. I have since learned
enough to convince me that I was in error in
this particular, and as I wouldn’t knowingly do
injustice even to so poor a thing as an Ashley, I
hasten to make the correction. Mr. Ashley is
not a rival of Butler. He is au ambitious man,
and yet his %mbition is so finely tempered with
modesty Uiat he is willing to play the role of
Lieutenant to the hero of Bermuda, as it is tiie
object of the present writing to show.
In the same letter .in which I deplored a rival-
rv which seemed to me to threaten the peace
and welfare of the “loyal” family, I spoke of
Butler as having two “objective points ” in the
next Congress—President Johnson ohe of them
and General Grant the other. I have recent!) -
come into possession of information which fully
bears me out in this assertion, while at the same
time it proves conclusively that I was in error hi
charging Ashley with competitive designs upon
Bmler. Here it is:
It will be remembered that about a month
ago, Mr. Ashley offered a resolution in the House
of Representatives directing the Judiciary Com
mittee t i inquire if any officer of the United
States had been guilty of high crimes of misde
meanors within the meaning of the constitution,
or had conspired to subvert the constitution of
the United States. This looked at the time, cer
tainly to me, and, I think, to most others, rather
like the evasion of a direct charge against the
President, than an attempt to make it more,
comprehensive, and to include others besides
that unhappy gentleman. I know that most of
those who reterred to the subject in conversation
at the time, so regarded it. There was one gen
tleman, however, on the floor of the House of
Representatives, who, as it by inspiration, saw
through it the instant it was offered, and con
strued aright the poisonous malice it concealed
under au apparently harmless coating of words.
The presentation of such a resolution, whose
coming had not been heralded by any previous
announcement or intention, aud was known but
to half a dozen members, very naturally
threw the House into a temporary confusion, and
created quite a stir oiUthe Republican side.—
YYliat the public already know ou the subject is
only what transpired in the way of regular busi
ness, but the by-play, that did not come under
that head, is the important part that shows the
animus of the movement, As soon as the reso
lution was read. Mr. Bingham jumped from his
seat and went over to Ashley, to whom he ad
dressed some very strong language, asking him
what he meant by such a proposition as that,
and why he didn’t frame it to apply to the Pre
sident only, instead of making a drag-net to in
clude every officer of the government. Ashley
hesitated a while, affected a knavish smile, and
replied that “he guessed it was all right.” “No,
it isn’t all right,” said Bingham. “ It’s a stab at
General Grant, and no such malicious thing shall
go through the House if I can help it ” “ Sup
pose it does include Grant,” said Asliley, “can’t
we investigate his conduct, too ? and can’t we im
peach him if he has been guilty uuder the reso
lution?” Bingham looked at Ashley a moment
and replied in nervous wrath, “Ashley, you’re a
fool. Don’t you know you can’t impeach any
but a civil officer ot the government under the
Constitution V” By this time quite a group had
collected where the colloquy was being held, and
Thad. Stevens scenting a breeze, had come over
to avert, a storm. Addressing him, Bingham
asked what Wie the meaning of this damnable
assault upon General Grant. “ Oh, noDiing,” said
Stevens, in his insidious way, “only we want to
investigate some charges recently made against
him. 1 don’t see why Grant should be free from
investigation any more than Johnson, He’s just
as bad as Johnson.” Bigham again denounced
what lie termed very aptly “a foul conspiracy
against the chief officer ot the army of the Re
public,” and he gave the few friends of the reso
lution around him fair warning that if they pass
ed it he should expose the cowardly proceeding
as it deserved. By this time the resolution had
gone over,” as the parliamentary phrase is, from
a.refusal of the House to suspend the rules.—
Quiet had been restored on the floor, and the
business of the day was quietly proceeding.—
Bingham addressed Ashley, in the presence of
several members, in language like this: “Tell the
honest truth now, who instigated that resolution ?”
‘‘YVhy what makes you thinkit wasn’ t my own ?”
inquired Asfrfoy. “Because; said Bingham, /T
know there is too much cunning in it for you,
and I’ll bet you anything you dare that Thad.
Steveus and Ben. Butler either wrote it or dicta
ted its spirit.” Ashley again protested against
Bingham’s right to question the authorship; and
BiBgham again repeated that there was too much
craft and design about it for anybody but Stevens
or Butler. What from Bingham’s earnestness
and Ashley’s faintly disguised equivocation, the
dispute had become quite intieresting, and a num
ber of Radical members had collected around the
disputants. After some further bantering and
badgering, on Bingham’s part, Ashley confessed
that “Stevens bad a little to do with it, and that
one of its principal objects was to give Butler an
opportunity of making and proving certain
charges against General Grant.”
Now this is no story of the imagination. It is
a statement of fact, given to me by one who was
witness to it, and substantiated by others. I
heard it some time ago, but looked upon it as so
improbable ou its face that I declined to print.it
until I had verified it from such a source as would
laave no doubt ot its accuracy. Here we have
the would-be leaders ot the Radical party en
gaged in the foulest, most malignant and most
treacherous assault that the ingenuity of devils
could invent against the man to whose valor and
genius we owe the existence of the nation to-day.
A committee of Congress is asked to inquire
whether General Ulysses S. Grant has been en
gaged in a conspiracy to subvert the government!
f the reader can think ol anything more fiend
ish in its conception, or more cowardly in its pur
pose, his reading must date back of the most li-
ccutious days of Roman history, when even in
the midst ot assassination plots and bloody con
spiracy tire life and reputation of a brave soldier
was secure. Aud such crimes as these are com-.
mittej in the American Congress, and that, too,
in tire name of “loyalty.” He. who denounces ‘
them is “disloyal,” or what in the mind of these,
Radical assassins is the same thing, “Conserva
tive.”
•Just here I cannot forbear quoting from the
Anti-Slavery Standard an extract from a letter
published in that journal with great eclat, show:
ing at least surface indications of this conspiracy
against the country’s hero:
I was ashamed when I heard leading men
discuss—What would General Grant do? when
the question uuder debate was whether the Pres
ident should be impeached? Do? Wuo cares
for him or any other man in’'Christendom?—
Does any one" suppose that this mighty nation,
which hides a million of bronzed heroes under
the folds ot its mantle, will consent to be baulk
ed irf an earnest purpose by any tailor, or tanner,
or dispatch-tinker, or soldier alive? A breath
can unmake them as a breath has made!”
Is the party that now accuses General Grant
of engaging in a conspiracy to subvert the Gov
ernment thesame party formed six years ago by
the union of fragments from all parties of the
country welded together by the cohesive power
ot a common danger and a commou purpose ?—
It is hard to believe it, but if it is, it is high time
it was dissolved, for it certainly has outgrown its
usefulness when it seeks, uuder the leadership of
such men as Ashley and Butler, to engage in the
contemptible and dastardly business indicated in
the proposition I refer to. If the “ Union” par
ty has degenerated into a conspiracy to destroy
the men to whom the nation owes its life, the
sooner it is swept out of existence the better.—
Mr. Bingham deserves the approbation of all
true men for his timely intercession to avert an
act, the slightest mischief doue by which would
have been the disgrace of the men who partici
pated in it, for in their disgrace the whole Amer
ican people would have been involved in the eyes
of tire civilized world.
But after all, though there is room for denun
ciation and cause for wrath in the idea of Butler
nd Ashley charging Grant with a conspiracy to
subvert the government, isn’t there, on tiie whole,
more temptation to a good laugh ? Mack.
Heavt Robbery.—The bed-room of a Texas
editor was entered a few nights ago by a negro,
who carried off the editor’s boots and his trous
ers, the pockets of which contained his scissors
and a quantity of copy intended for his next
issue.
Brevities.
Some erratic genius has started the report
again that President Johnson will soon issue
proclamation granting general amnesty. It is
not likely or at all probable the President will do
anything of the sort. He has deferred it too
long, and if one-fourth be true that is published
from tire direction of Washington, he has his
hands lull to take care of himself
The Postmaster General has ordered the dis
continuance ol the mails by steamer, from Sa
vannah to Fernandina, Jacksonville, and points
on the St. John’s river. The cause for this acUon
is unkcown. Considerable excitement and great
inconvenience to the people, are the results.
Gen. Banks has obtained certificates from his
physician, to the effect that he was not Intoxica
ted at Portland, as alleged, but only sick. Per
haps he had been drunk the night previous, and
was sick from the effects. We know a man
whom it affects that way once in a great while.
It seems that there has been thirteen thousand
cases of flogging in the public schools of Massa
chusetts in the last nine months. If one-tenth of
that number had occurred in the South how
strong would have been the clamor to put us un
der a territorial government or martial law. Mas
sachusetts, however, may steal a horse, but we
dare not look over the fence:
PhinbaS T. Barnttm is announced as a can
didate for Congress at the approaching Spring
election in Connecticut.
A correspondent, signing himself “Louisi
ana,” evidently one of the Southern loyalists, in
the Washington Chronicle, of the 29th ult., at
tacks the thirty-ninth Congress, and shows it to
be a failure from beginning to end.
James Gordon Bennett, Jr,, son of his
daddy, has made a present of the yacht Hen
rietta to “His Royal Highness, Prince Alfred,'
second son ot Victoria Regina. The Prince, of
course, declined to accept the present.
"We shall know what are the necessaries of
life,” said a downreast country storekeeper du
ring a severe storm; “as no one will venture
forth to-day except to procure them:” In the
evening he found that most of bis sales were yel
low snuff and New England rum.
Tiie Southern Cultivator, published at
Athens, Georgia, says one of the great griev
ances of the South before the war was that they
were not permitted to go with their negroes into
the territories. But it seems probable that we
may all be in the territories before the present
Congress adjourns.
Governor Andrew and other loyal lights of|
Boston have asked Adjutant General Schouler to
write up Massachusetts during the war. We
may now, at last, reasonably expect a full cata
logue of the “brooches, pearls, find owchers 1
gathered by her two busy B’s in New Orleans to
