The first ecloe ot the Republican victory bring unmiatakablo expres sions in favor of prompt ta. iff and tax reform by the H-publicm We give in another column the declaia tion of tbe Chicago Tribune and of Governor Alger, with the apparently credible , report from Waahingto'n that f resident uarrUoii will call an extra session of Congress in April to revise the tariff, reduce taxes and relieve industry of the exaction of unneeded revenues. It can be only a q lesti iu of very brii-f time wben our industries M be given free raw inateruU.

If the issue shall not be squarely me', by judicious tix re- duct.on, Republicans defeat will be inevitable. Important Decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. Washisotoh, D.C.. Nov. 14. Tie "Supreme Court of tbe United States through Cbiet Justice r uller bas reu- dored an opinion of unut.ua! interest to holders of life insurance policies. Thomas L. Hum, of the District f Colutubia.died in 1831, totally insol vent but leaving $35,000 in lifo insur ance polices. These policies were by tbeir terms payable either to the wi dow or children i the deceased. The administrates aud creditors of Hume's estate soi'ght t f rce the sp oliation of the pnceeli of the pol icies to the payment of the debts due his creditors on t he gr, tnd that the premiums paid b Hume were a fraud the tran-for of au ion l vent estate and void as against the creditors, and that ct nat q'ieutly the proece Is of the policies should inure to the ben efit of Hume's estate and not to the! benefidarits naiifd in the policies. Tbe Supreme Court holds that the bencficiarit s are eu'itled to the pro ceeds of all the p dictes without anv deduction whatever on acc tutit of all Eremiums pud, hjtding that the hu aud and father have the full right to insure bis life in the int reit of bis wife and children, aud that where such policks are effected in the name of the ben lic aries they are no ptrt of the estate of the deceased Insolvent and thcref re cau lot bo regard d as a fraudaleut as-iguracnt of any part of this estate wben so effected.
