The 'Alabama“ claims Bill, 'has been ex-
"rhanstively. discussed in"'the Senate and re—
ceived its quictus.‘ at least for the present

. n54.

séssicn.’ SenatonThurman ably championed

the Immune ‘compimies, which are by far

the most clam'dfi fora further division of
the Geneva. award to them, and Senator

' Blaine, with even more dexterity and plausi-

bility, advocated the ship-owners rights to

the remainder of the money now in the

Treasury. But it was apparently left for

Senator Edmunds to put the last nail in the

Outline of all the claimants. With his accus-

t Inled clealness'and consummate legal ability,

he showed that the Insurance Companies had

received' already from the insurers and the
awards made them, more than they were
entitled to. That the very money they had
been forced to pay, because of the Anglo-
rebel pirates, for reinsurance, they had re-
ceived beforehand from the, ship owuer.

That the shipowuers had charged this' extra

reinsurance cost in their freight tariffs and

admitted an era of greater prosperity than
ever before, because of increased rates for

freights. SO that the money paid to the U.

S. by England, was in justice and verity,

the property of the whole people and that it

ought to remain in the nation’s treasury for
the public benefit. Senatof Eaton, who has
apretty level, practical head in everything
except his politics, took the same ground and
introduced a resolution to the effect that the
unexpended balance of that award be

“covered into the Treasury." Despite the

desperate struggle to get this money distri—

buted, it is now postponed at least for. this

session, by a vote of 31 to 28.

Senator Eaton’s sensible proposition to
raise a commission to prepare a new tariff
bill, which was last session criticised and
ridiculed, a good deal, now seems to com—
mand general approval and the more it is
reflected upon, the more popular it becomes.
The incongruities of our present Tariff, are
almost beyond belief, and the chances of
ever having them corrected by any Ways and
Means Committee as at present organized,
are veryfmote. For example, the manu-
factured cotton bale ties, mad‘cf ordinary
hoop iron, with an arrow head out at one

. epd and a slot at the other to receive it; is
admitted at a less duty than the hoop iron.

Thus cut, it is rated can manufacture and

the tax is so much less, that for barrel hoops

and other purposes where short strips of the
iron can be used, it Ipsy‘s the American

Importer to buyithe_,ootton tie and cut off

each end. .This is'only ‘one case among
f'ué'many where a ridiculous discrimination is
made against the American workman.

Another instance comes more nearly home to

an important Connecticut interest. '_ 'In straw

braids, out of which the Bé'atty's ht'Norwalk,
and Baldwin’s at Milfordflt'vvo' of the largest
manufacturers of men’s straw hats in the
ecuntry,) make up their goods, the present
tariff admits the _ manufactured but much
cheaper thali the unsewed braids, so that it
pays our Yankee bat makers to import the
straw braids they require, sewed up into hats
on the other side and'then rip them apart
on arrival here and rese‘w them into styles
and shapes suited to American tastes, thus
making another flagrant discrimination in
favor of the European makers. The matter
of window glass has an equally absurd tariff
complication. By the present law, it must
be inventoried by size 'and also by weight.
As all common glass is blowu,'there can be
no exact uniformity in thickness and conse-
quently in weévht the same sizes and qualities
will greatly vary. A dealer in New York, to
illustrate this absurdity, had a portion of his
same invoice shipped to Boston and Phila-
delphia, while the main importation entered

New York. All three Custom Houses

assessments of duty differed, as a matter of

course, because of the variations in the
weight of the same ‘lot of glass. It would be

even more sensible for the tariff to admit a

horse by weight, But with afull knowledge

of these ridiculous and injurious absurdities
in our present tariff laws. the Ways and

Means Committee has permitted them to' go

on, year after year, without amendment,

simply because the. interests there are so
diverse that the several members will not
join in the correction of palpable errors,
unless each can have his own desires grati-
fied, in alterations of his own pet or local
importations. Such is the height and depth-
and length and breadth of the statesmanship
in the American Congress. '
mLocG-sporronn- cAsx. _

In- spite of the strong opposition to the
move the Senate election committee have
succeeded in getting up the KelloggSpofford
case. There are different opinions as to the
time the consideration of the case will con-
sume,but’in regard to its final disposition
the.best.informed believe the resolution to
oust Kellogg will be defeated. It is said
that ’ at least ten or‘ twelve Democratic
Senators hold that the case is my adjudi-

- auto and will so vote. When the Republicans

in the last Congress attempted to reOpen the.
Butler case every Democrat voted ‘against it,
and that stands on the same ground as the
Kellogg case. Butler and Kellogg were
sworn in at'the same time. There are Dem-
ocratic Senators, too,‘ who maintain that
Butler and Kellogg were admitted upon a
compromise between the Republicans and
Democrats, and that the latter would be
guilty Of a breach of faith in votingto put
Kellogg out. The indications are that there
are enough Democrats who believe in the
doctrine of res adjudicate combined with
those who hold that good faith binds them
to sustain Kellogg to beat the resolution to
oust him. . ‘ '
BUSINESS Barrens commas.

The condition of the public business in
Congress is such that Congress will not be
likely to get away before the middle of July.
The army‘bill has passed the Senate and now

, only awaits the signature of the President to
become a law, and the naval bill was dispos-
cd of in the House. Now the House has
already passed the Indian, consular and
diplomatic,fortification and military academy
appropriation bills, and they are with the

Senate. ,The bills yet to be reported by the

Hohse committee are the legislative, the

sundry civil, the river and harbor, the, postal,

the District of Columbia and general defi—

_ ciency bills. _ “ .

‘ The river and HarbOr bill is about ready to
report,but it will encounter such antagonisms
that it may be two or more months before it
can be finally passed. . ‘

The immediate deficiency bill may not be
'called up for- several days. This bill contains
the deficiency appropriation for the govern-
ment printing office, and if it does not
become ,a law another furlough of the
employes ' of the public . printer will be
necessitated, as the $100,000 appropriation
heretofore made isnearly exhausted.

Yesterday the House adopted a joint reso—
lution furnishing 500 tents for the, sufferers
by the recent tornado in Missouri.

The House committee on elections will,on
Monday. begin the hearing in the contested
. election case of Boyntou again“ Luring

(Massachusetts). B. F. Butler will appear
for-the contestant. ‘ ' '

Ever since the political cauldron has been

gives gratifying intelligence of the favor with
which Mrs. Hayes’ firmness in the temper-

One ‘of Our Townsmcn Honored.
Previous to ‘the depai‘ture of our esteemed
fellow citizen, C. M. Raymond, Esq., for
Europe, in the splendid steamer City of
Chester, on Thursday 22d inst, some seven-
been of .his New York friends manifested
their high appreciation Of— his worth by the
compliment of an elegant dinner. If it may
be judged by the size and beauty of an im-
mense bouquet of rare and rich rose buds of
various colors, whimattracted much atten‘
tion on the train as it was borne as a trophy
to his much loved home on the following
day, it‘must have been a magnificent affair.
An equal or greater number of his friends
in New York attended his embarkaticn and
gave him a moat flattering _ ovation. So 'said
the New York' Daily Times of the 23d. His
Norwalk friends, not only of his family, and
of the First Congregational Society, whom
his noble generosity has ”laid under "great
obligations, but of the community at large,
unite in invoking for him a pleasant voyage,
a happy tour, and a safe return to receive a
cordial “welcome home.” '

 

Mr. Joseph Shepherd sailed for “Merrie

Immigration is assuming wonderful pro—
portions. The rush from. Great Britain has
reached apoint which it is,said was never
before experienced. During March 83 ves-
sels left the Mersey with 129363 passengers,-
an increase of more than 8.000 over March,
1879. From Germany over 21,000 were soot
here between Jan: lst and April 24th. These
passengers are better clad and better provi-
ded for than usual. The steamer Strasbourg
arrived at Baltimore, Sunday, with 1,914, the
largest number, it‘ is believed, ever brought
over in one vessel. They go West. ’

'l‘lle Strike.

The moulders whowere brought here from
out—of town and-set to work in the Norwalk
Foundry, last week Monday, to take the
place of the men out on strike, ‘ worked
through the week quietly, no disturbance re-
sulting. Saturday night they left work and

 

striking moulders appeared, and, it is said,

interview was somewhat, exciting during
which the new lot of moulders produced
revolvers and showed that they were prepared
to take care of themselves if force should be
used against them by the old hands?) Monday
morning they returned, " and there was quite
an array of police force at the depot prepar-
ed to squelch any outbreak that might occur.
To the. credit of the old hands, however, no
attempt was made to interfere with the new
men as they preceeded to their work. We
cannot believe that the old hands really con-
templated the use of force‘to carry out their
plans, and trust therewill be no further
trouble.

Norwalk Manufactures.

‘ Mr. Wm. Youle, at- his manufactory on
Hoyt street, has just completed a beautiful
hearse for an undertaker in Topeka, Kansas.
It is somewhat of a “new departure,” being
painted in white and gold. The hearse is of
the same pattern as One Which be ex-
hibited at the Centennial, but is im:
proved in many parts. It is finely
painted and gilded, is trimmed with
whiteFrench broadcloth and gold furnish—
ings; On the mound all t fixings are of the
hexagon {pattern silver p ated, and around
the roof there is a silver plated hexagon rail.
The general effect is verypleasing. White
hearses are customarily used for small child—
ren, but this is of full si,e and it is the in-f

- ttntion of the purchaser to use it for all un-a

married persons, especially unmarried ladies.
Mr. Youle is also finishing up a smaller
white hearse for parties in Texas, and has a
number of other hearses in course of con—
struction, on orders. Mr. Youle is very ably
assisted by Mr. J. HopSon, a skillful Work—
man who prides himself upon the execution
of his work, and- who is ever ready to adopt
all improvements which experience may
suggest.
