The text of tbe Morrison tariff bill will not lend to reassure the general public. It psopoaca a horizontal reduction of duties of twenty per cent, on schedules I, J, K, C, H. £. F. and D. with certain exceptions, some of which relate to articles to be placed on tbe free list. Tbe bill provides that on and after July 1, 1 884. no duty shall be levied, collected or paid in fxcrsa of forty per cent, ad valorem on crx tun and cotton goods, of Afty per oaot. on metals, and sixty per cent, on wool and woolen goods: provided that the duty on Ybcae spcciAsd articles shall not be reduced below tbe dullsble rale ' under the Morrill tariff of 18A1. Tbe articles placed on tbe free list are iroo ore, capper, lead, and chromic ores, coal hew. ad and aawed timber, spars, wood palp, chkoorj, and any and all substitutes for coffee. Jute tout. bristles, beeswax, lime, glycerine and Ash glue. Tbe saving clause of this attempt to unsettle what was well enough before it the prohibition of any reduction below the dutiable raise established by tbe tariff of 1861. Mr. Morrieoe seems to forget that the dutiable relet under tbe Morrill tariff of 1861 were found insufBdeo!, and were augmented to meet tbe necessity of the case. It la hardly worth while to spend much time in discussing the Morrison bill In advance of iu coosklvratlco in the House. By the time the measure has passed the rede*! in Committee of the Whole House, lis features win be so changed that iu parent will not recognize it.

WASHINGTON LETTER. ' W.srmroioj. Feb. t, 1888. Monday had been marked foe ao cnot- , rally interesting day in the Senate cbem- •' her. Tbe Sherman rendu Hon. concerning ■n investigation of tbe annlbern outrages, waa to base come up for dUcoaaioo. and - Senators Sherman. Mabooe. Latnar, Vest ' sod others were expected each, to spr.k offensively, and defensively. In soUeir pat ion or so much eloquence, vw-u after the "peeing hour, tbe galleries Ailed vdfh. lal dies anil £ullcmen. eager to bear. Tbe Senate bad not onmptatrd its preliminary business, however, until s message wis ;• received from tbe llousr announcing the ' death of Representative Mackey, of South ' Carol los. Both Houses respectively adjourned, at Oder, and tbe flags on the c Senate and House wings of tbc Capitol c were placed at half nut. Mr. Mickey r was tbe seventh member of the forty, i. eighth Ooogress who has died since bis election. He was the only Republican member from South Carolina, the lender r .if tbe party in bis state, and the chair- * man of the Republican State Executive ' Committee. Boih branches of Congress ' reconvened on Tuesday, and tbe Senate galelries were again crowded with expectant visitors, who were doomed to tbc disappointment of bearing no Arc and X brimstone eloquence. Mr. Sherman spoke i bricAy In support of bis resolution, aaytqg I that so far as can be judged from state, e incuts In afSdavita'and newspapers, tbc 1 murders in Virginia and Mississippi were [ tbe consequence of s drtcnnittalioo en the ■ part of the Democratic party, to defy tbc laws and trample the rights of all opponents. Mr. Mabooe then addressed tbc Senate In favor of the resolution, and on tbe conclusion of bis remarks calls of p vote were heard. A demand for tbe yeas ( and nays was made, and without a word _ from any Democratic Senator, tbe resolutions were passed by thirty-three to I wet: i ty-nlne. After adjournment Monday lie ( Demoarats held a caucus to decide on r their plan cf action In rise matter, and agreed there should be no answer from tbelr side or the bill, onlees tbe sharpness f of tbe Republican attack made It neces- - sary. From their silence the infereoer f was that tbe language of Senators Sher * man and Mabooe, Was not unduly rxar1 posting to the Democratic Senators, un . fortunately for tbc people in tbe galleries I who sighed for tbe stormier limes when t Blaine. Cockling, and Morton, crossed 0 s words with Lamir, Ben Hill, and Tbur 0 man. It la better for the country, bow. r ever, that the age of that particular ktud c chivalry is past. It is thought tbe country at large Is wrmry of. the wbolccnntro a verty. even lo tbe extent of being callous. ( possibly, as lo tbe merits of tbe care. 1 While a spirit of tbe dignity and lor ( bearance prevailed In the Senate Cham c her, tbe House pnnented a different j scene. Mr. KelfcT was making a violrn' e general, abd Gen Boynton's in particular: j_ directly provoked bylhe Introduction oi s r resolution that a committee invtwtigat, I charges of corruption made by Mr. Keiler against General Boyntoo. and It had oonie to an issue of veracity between the ex speaker and tbr Washington correspond eut. || A notable move ibst will scarcely fail U to cause excitement In tbe Mornum nolo, if ny, at Salt Lake, ares tbe report to to" |, the Senate Judiciary Comnitire. of Mr a Edmunds sntlpolyrsniy Mil. Besides em bracing the principal features of tbc ori e gins! bill, tbe mnmitte has added a nam , her of measures for heroic treatment r' r tbe evil. ' If enacted In iu prearnt shspr. .- and rigidly enforced, it is dilBenb to reX bow the result can be anytbing abort of „ as nprootlng of the Mormon government I There Is hardly a doubt, too, that Con I] greas will be fully sustained by public . even more stringent. The provisions or _ tbe bill are too extended In minute detail* . to admit of iteration; but I will mention i, among prominent featares; tbe- annul, r rnent of laws allowing females to rote for , soy public purpose whatever; the annnl meol of laws penu lit iqg children of poly 9 gamoas paresU to Inherit; and also of all i laws providing for the corporation known r as tbe Mormon cbnrch. [ Prohibition petitions have been Intro, t duced In the Senate by Mr. Blair from ] several thousand citizens of tbr District I of Columbia, and the Territories of Wuli f ingtoo sod Idaho praying an rnactm- n J against the manufacture or sale of alcohol . ic liquors, within tbe limits of tbe Di> i tricts mod Territories.
