Washington, D. C, Jan. 16.-Sknatk: -President Cleveland' two messages in regard to affair in Samoa and Hayti, vere luid before the Senate and referred, with accompanying documents, to the committee on foreign relationa. Mr Cullom presented a mcmoriiil of tlit Woman's National Christian Tern jiernnce Union, of Illinois and other bod its in favor of legislation for Sabbath observance: against the running of inter state Sunday trains, and against military drills on Sunday. These, and many sim ilar memorials from other Statics, which were presented by various SenatorsT were referred to the committee on education and labor. The memorials were iq large bundles, covered with red-cloth and their presentation was witnessed by a deputa tion of ladies ill the gallery. Mr. Riddleberger, in presenting the memorial which had been deposited on his desk, said that he "considered it proer for him to state his unqualified qpiosition to any such legislation. He would like for the ladies in the gallery to understand thatAhe first thing they had to do in the way of legislation would be " to change the market day. His constit uents, for instance, in order to have their cattle hrWashingtotrready for Tuesday's market," had to transport them on Sun day." Mr. Chandler presented additional pe titions from citizens of Orangeburg, S. C. nor in information, nor in unv other way." After this little digression, Mr. Morgnn resumed aud finmlicd the rending of his sijccch. Mr. Chandler called attention to skate industry, carried on at Concord, N, H., but which he said could not be continued under the present rate of duty forty-five per cent, ad valorem. The manufacturers, he suid, wanted the duty on skates in creased, because the German skate manu facturers undersold them. In the course of his speech, Chandler, criticising the opposition vof the Democratic party to the protectionist ideas, said that the "Confederate brigadiers" were now try ing to carry out the principle which they had incorporated in the Confederate con stitution, and meant the destruction of all Northern industriesthat were protect ed by the tariff system; they had nothing left to kick, kill and destroy but the pro tective tariff; that was the 'business in which they and the I'resident had' been engaged for the last year; and notwith standing their bud luck, they still con tinued. to miike faces and to kick. Chan dler went on to draw an imaginable pic ture of the attack made upon the tariff by the President, mounted on a charger; the Senator froni Missouri ( Vest I similar ly mounted, and the Senator from Texas (Coke) mounted on a "burro." "The charge," he said, "made by these three knights of modern Democracy upon the protective system of the United States had been a futile one; the principal knight had, roll ed in the dust, and had picked himself up and gathered himself togeher in some sort of shnjic, ve,ry much bruised and n little dirty, and would probably never charge again with lance in. rest. The American people by the election of a Re publican I'resident had effectually pro tected the industries of the country from the assaults which the "Confederate Brigadiers" had been making against what the Senator from Missouri called Hl.t MI.TAHV WIIITNKV THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Hon. laaac Bell Uylng;. The CltUen) Ideal Presented In Vull.Thla ttornliiK. From the number of bills Introduced on this subject it is evident that a large ma jority of Inith Houses will respond to the wishes of their constituents, ns expressed tersely, in the message of Gov. Scales. Our own members, both in House and Senate, are in accord with this sentiment and will work, faithfully to make the commission meet the requirements of the Case. Asregnrdingthelawcmitlnga Com mission, there must be expected many and various opinions, uud Thk itizfn will gladly set an example tvhich II should follow; that Is, to say if its teal cannot le realized, it will yield ready and hearty support tosuch measures as the Legislature, in its siiierior wis- om may adopt, and will do nil in its power to make it successful. Th Citiihn's ideal railroad commis sion would be somewhat as follows: ITS COMPOSITION. The commission should be combined of three (or better five) of the very best men our State, men who recognire the alue of the State's great characteristic conservatism in ull things. As fur as possible, ull branches of husi- ss should Ik represented. The farmers, as the first and most imMirtnnt element, any State or Nation, Bhould huve heir interests guarded by the selection of an especially strong man, as (heir own representative, in whose selection the merchants should have a voice, as their interests in this matter arc identical with thnt of the farmers. The commission should be protected from legal error hy having, ns titie of its members, the-very lst lawyer that isoh-tmnHe;-a m!in fttrhitlnf wtthlc'gisla tion, mil decisions of the Supreme Court bear ing upon railroads; and in case the num ber of the commission is three, the third member should be a railroad man, one who is thoroughly conversant with the practical working of schedules, and ull ther details ot railroad, business. We .onsider this point a necessity to a suc cessful commission. It would be as wise to take a child and order him to conduct the affairs ofthe United States Treasury, as to select men, wholly unacquainted with railroads, and require them to ar. inge the details of their business. A clause should ulso be incorporated in the bill, .providing that two additional mmnlr ahnll be added tO"ttie"TUIIillilg- sion, thus making five in all; one of the IWI) udrfilftimir members to represent the manufacturing, and the other the finan cial interests of the State, TI1K ACT Should lie wisely- and carefully drawn, nkiug the happy medium ground, lie weeii unjust exactions by the railroads on the one hand, and such an arbitrary control ot their business on the other as may alarm capital, and pat an end to further investments.

There are eighteen prisoners in the county jail'of Buncombe, awaiting trial at the approaching 'term 01 the Inferior court. The Tobacco Taat The Courier-Journal of yesterday, thus treats Mr. Cowles' bill Introduced iu Congress, to rejieal the tobacco tax . "The reiiual of the tobacco Ux will not add oue dollar to the revenue of the tobacco raiser, as it ii paid by tha man who consumes the weed. , Die repeal will not halo our axnort trade, for no internal Ux is paid on the tobacco we seud abroad. Because there is &6 tax in America on tobacco exported, German t imrxwea a tax of eiirbt vents on imported to bacco. ....... . - It IS the tariff which is daatrovln the value of certain grades of tobacco, and the only relief possible must come y a ruucuou in our owntaria, wnicn would at once give additional "value u exchange to our tobacco crop. If the tobacco tax is to be reoealed. it Hhould be done, not by a Democratic, but by a Republican Congress, for the results cauuot possibly justify the ex pectations of the tobacco growers, and the bent tits will accrue to the protected uiuhtis oi ins nortn. "The Democrats have, since the war. contended for the repeal of the taxes paid by the. poor; the Republicans have during this whole period insisted on tne repeal oi the taxes paid by the rich. The Democrats have declared for cheaper clothes', the Republicans for cheaper whisky. The Democrats have insisted on ie duction of taxes on our homes, house hold goods, agricultural implements, uiecuanicai toots, iuei ana clothing. the Kepublieans have abolished the income tax, the stamp taxes, the bank taxes, the taxes on sales, and have re duced the taxes on jewelry and precious stones. To-day they are ready to abol ish the taxes on whisky and tobacco, in ruor to iwrnetuate tne infamous tariff taxes on the necessaries of life. No Demociat should join in a raid of this kind. To repeal the tobacco tax and leave the tariff unaltered is a base betrayal of the people." HATKS OF FHRIUHT AND I'ASSI-OKR TRAF FIC. In regard to these, the commission should not attempt any arbitrary meas ure, but be allowed to exercise u liberul liscretion, considering the cost and run ning expenses of each road, and allowing roads to discriminate between competi tive points which is only just on general principles. THE FOWHR8 OF TUB COMMISSION, Should, in our opinion, be, for the present, advisory, rather than manda tory. - This is a new departure in North Cnfo Una, and it has always lieen to her credit that she moves "slowly but surely." Let iis hot riialte a" mistake in this ease. commission projierly composed, may de- end on having its advice followed in nine cases out oAteii; and, -in case the uilroads do not yield to its counsel they may depend upon the next session passing law mandatory in all resjiects, This advisory system is largely in use iu the north and northwestern States with the best results; and csiecinlly is the case in the tnte of Massachusetts.
