II will be remembered, by our readers that some time since, the Committee of Ways and Means had been instructed to report Bill in modification of the present Tariff Law (of Is42) reducing the rates of duties, in accordance with the principles of the Con- promise act of 1883. In accordance with these in structons, MT. Mckay, Chairman of the Committee reported Bill on the sth instant. On the day fol- lowing, he made report in connexion with the Bill furnishing illustrative tabular statistics

 The Globe of the sth, says:

 s'When the report was made to-day, the Hon. Dixon H. Lewis moved to suspend the rules, to enable him to make a motion to print extra copies. The Wings objected, and called for the yeas and nays, which resulted-ycas IDS, nays 50. The yeas not being two-thirds of the members present, the rules were not suspended. We have not the yeas and nays before us, but believe 1t was a strict party vote. The Wings do not appear to be willing to enlighten the people on the tarifl.'

 We have received the Bill but have not had time to read it carefully, compare it with the Bill of 1912, for which if is intended as a substitute In our next paper will give either the Bill itself or an abstract of it, with views upon it's merits The report has not yet reached us. So soon as it comes to hand, it shall receive our attention One circumstance in advance, speaks well for the Bill and the accompanying report; they are the work of the democratic majority of the Committee; and the democrats in the House have voted together for printing an extra number of copies whereas the wings have voted together against this proposition, and the whig minority of the Committee have given notice that they will make counter report.

 We hope to the democratic majority in the House acting together man, and doing their duty, in this important matter. The country ex- poets and requires il of them. They have nothing to do with the probable action of the Whig Senate In the language of John c. Calhoun dtty is theirs --the consequences are lcih God
