Br Telegraph to the Newi and Obaerrer. i Was&motox, D. C, March 29 Sxhatx. On motion of Mr. Edmunds, it was ordered that, tomorrow being Good Friday, when the Senate ad journ today it be to meet Saturday. Among the bills reported from com mittees and placed on the calendar was the following: Senate bill for a public building at .Norfolk, Virginia, ($150,000). 1 KB. BKBBT OX TAXATIOX. Mr. Berry addressed the Senate on the subject of the President's annual message. He spoke of the universal interest awakened by the bold and fearless manner in which the system of Federal taxation was discussed in that message and said that the time could; not much longer be delayed when "some change must be made in that system. When fairly canvassed and understood its injustice would, he believed, necessitate a change. Taxation should be for revenue pur poses only. The present system was utterly indeien&ible. It was funda mentally wrong in principle and doubly wrong in its details. As to the proposition of the protectionists to repeat the taxes on whisky, beer and tobacco, he expressed himself as entirely Opposed to it. Taxes could be collected on these articles with less injury to the people than on any articles consumed by the human fam ily, ana bo long as it was necessary to collect taxes for the use of the Gov ernment it was utterly indefensible to nay that they should be removed from whisky and beer. Under the system of protection the foreign trade of the country had been ruined, so that now the American flag could rarely be seen in a foreign port. Labor had been arrayed against capital,strikea had been encouraged and a species of Govern ment paternalism had been established which threatened to destroy the very lame-work of American institutions and' to build up a strong con solidated Government. He spoke of the ways and means bill as moder ate and conservative and favored an income talon all incomes over $3,000 so aa to produce enough to pay all pensions. ; . " The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of bills on the calendar, only those being taken up to which there was no objection. The total number of b lis passed was 61. nearly all are of a local character and only two are of interest in the South. These were bills ap- awsaia aVaUssVwv aw kmw w tion of lithe monument to Mary, the mother of Washington, at Fredericks burg, Va,andx to authorize the con struction ef bridges over the Saint Mary's, Satilla, Little Satilla and el a w 9 wm Crooked rivers in ueorgia ana x ior ida.

Mr. Enloe, of Tennessee, reported adversely the resolution calling upon the Postmaster-General for the fol lowing information: First! what instructions, ii any, have been given .to subordinate om- ear of the Dostoflice department in tended to prohibit American citizens from using the U. S. mails on the same terms as Canadian citizens liv ing in the same vicinage and com peting in business with such Ameri can citizens. Second,! Whether any statute law prohibits the making in Canada of seeds, plants and bulbs grown by Americans on American soil. Third, Whether by the provisions of the recent postal treaty officers of tho ; postal service of the United States are authorized to place an espionage on the Canadian mails for the purpose of determining 'whether ... . . i rr i , r, a : 1 Citizens pi tne unitea oiaies are btbu- isar themselves of that beneficent pro visions iodorded Canadian citizens by the postal treaty xhe report accompanying me reso lution states that the resolution par takes more of criticism of existing law, of a protest against its enforce ment and an arraignment of the fost master' General for enforcing the law than of a proper resolutiun or en quiry, j After a somewhat heated po litical debate Mr. Peters, of Kansas, wished to amend the resolution by striking out the words which were considered to reflect upon the Post office department but was not per mitted to present his amendment. The resolution was tabled, yeas 125, nays 122 Mr. Showden, of Pennsylvania, rose to present a resolution bearing on the sarxe subject, but Mr. Reed demanded the regular order. Mr. Itandall then moved to recon sider the vote by which the resolu tion was tabled, stating that his ob ject was to get a respectful resolu tion of inquiry. Mr. Iveed demanded tne yeas and nave, saving that he did not wonder the brethren wanted to explain. The motion to reconsider was lost, yeas 123. navs 127.; Mr. Clements, from the committee on appropriations, reported the Die trict of uoiumoia appropnauou um. Mr. Oates, from the committee on reviBionlof the laws, reported the bill try nrnViiViit aliens from acauiring title to or owning lands within the United States The House then went into commit tee of the whole on the Indian appro priation! bill Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, took ad vantage: of the general debate to speak oh the tariff. It was not hon est, ha said, to call men who favorod tariff reduction free-traders. The men who opposed all forms Of tariff reduction were sot only friends of American labor, but were the only gnardiana of American enterprise, iho question of protection or free trade waa not fairly involved in the problem Con gress had to solve. The question waa whether1 the surplus should be got lid of by extravagant expenditures Tha great body of the people were agreed that the surplus should be re duced by a redaction of taxation. The next question presented was whether thai reduction ahould be applied to tariff or internal revenue taxes. A reduction of the taxes on liquors be held to be out of the question, and as to the tobacco tax, while there was great diversity of opinion he thought there was no serious clamor for its removal. Aariff taxes might prop erly be divided into two heads, viz : revenue taxes, like that on tea and coffee, and protective taxes, like that on commodities not foreign to our own country. Only so high a duty ahould be laid as would fairly cover the dif ference in the cost of production here and abroad. That ia what he termed low tariff. Any rate above that was high tariff. It had been the fashion to ascribe the higher wagea of this country to the tariff. That, he con sidered to be a false pretense. Eng land was free trade, while Austria, Germany, Italy and France were pro tection, and yet wagea in England were muoh higher than upon the con tinent. The main cans for the lower wages of Europe was to be found in the density of population and the greater supply of labor. He sent to the clerk's desk and had read a letter received by him from Charles A. PilBbury, of Minnesota (who, he said, was a prominent Re publican), warmly commending his course in Congress on the tariff ques tion and declaring that 90 per cent of the Democrats and 75 per cent of the Republicans of Minnesota agreed with him in his views. The reading of the le ter waa applauded on the Democratic side. Mr Nelson, contin uing, said that when our great west is filled up and we begin to approxi mate Europe in population then our labor would fail to get better wages under the protective system. He read from a consular report to show the bad effects attributed to the pro tective tarifl in Austria. When labor found nothing to do and manufactur ers found no market the patient was beyond reach of tariff remedies. He referred to the bill introduced by himself placing sugar, manilla, hemp jute and coal on the free list, and said that taking sugar, all in all, every dollar's worth used in this country paid 82 cents in taxes. Hemp, jute, manilla and twines had paid $63,000, 000 in taxes during the last fiscal year on imports of $98,000,000, an average ad valorem duty of 64 78 per cent, i Did not these figures speak for themselves? He read a letter from a prominent farmer in his sec tion, saying that binding twine cost 161; cents per pound, which amounted to two cents per bushel on wheat and that some relief should be afforded. Mr. Wade, of Missouri, interrupted the speaker to declare that he bought his twine at 11 centB per pound. Mr.! Nel'on sent to the desk a Minesota"lf6WBp1frfCTMfppm vate letters to himself favoring he tariff revision. The reading was re ceived! with great applause on the Democratic side. One of these letters was was from a lumber manufacturer, who thanked him (Nekon) for in cluding lumber in the free list of his bill, and adding that except he feared it would - embarrass the measure he would! be glad to see wool included also. ! Another correspondent begs relief from the high tax on window glass. He says that it equals the cost of the glass at Antwerp and that the country had been long enough at the Mercy of Pittsburg manuiaciurers. Still another man writes that Kel son's bill is good enough as far aa it goes, but for God's sake amend it by nut tin er wool on the free list. He abjures Kelson not to oe irignieneu bv the bleating of sheep: they need y . . .,- t - .... 3 no more protection than nogs ana hens. Mr. Nelson next quoted the Wes tern Republican platforms declaring in favor of a redaction in the tariff at an early day and added,(amid laughter and applause of tne .Democrats,; and now my friends is the appointed time." Continuing, he said that even Senator Sherman had been forced to admit, at the meeting of the Home Market dub at Boston, tne necessity of tariff revision and declare in favor of admission, free of duty, of such raw material and articles aa did not compete with the domestic products. In the face of these platform pledges and these admissions, in the face of the great and growing surplus taken from the people and used by certain banks! without consideration therefor, it made him sick at heart to think that there were leading men on hia side of the Chamber, who in this connection could not think of any other field for tax reduction than on whiskey and tobacco. Surely these were not tho things on which the poor laboring man kept his family. Would it not be oetter to give mem cheaper clothes, food and shelter ? He would put free Bucar. free salt and free lumber against free whisky and free tobacco so would the great mass oi our peo pie. (Applause on the Demcratic side). Mr. Funston, or nansas, auempieu to put some question to Mr. Nelson but the latter remarked that the gen tleman could have the floor to him self and took his seat, not replying to Mr. Funston's challenge aa to why he did not put wheat on the free list. " The committee then rose and the Houeeadjourned. SM mvMGiiia C0OTI5G THE CASH AT TO E BANK I YESTERDAY. THJ HAJflSlTION 80IN0 8TSTM1TIC1LLT ; j yoawABD.

Bus bee, Esq., and sev eral of the attaches of the broken bank, waa! employed most of the day yesterday in counting the cash at the bank. Col. Tate is now thorougly under way with the examination and ii . pushing the work systematically forward. The task ia now mostly detail work and nothing definite can be arrived at till the whole investiga tion is completed. Ool. Tate ta formed our reporter yesterday . morn ing that there had been no new de velopments i sufficiently satisfactory to put in the form of a statement. Several days will probably be neces sary to complete the examine-ion when the affairs of the bank will im mediately be placed in the hands of a receiver. ' a BicxrvrB . will be appointed by the Comptroller of the Currency, and will take charge of the bank and wind up its affairs. It is; usual in such oases to appoint some one who is an expert financier aad One who. is an interested party. Several of Our best citizens bave already been mentioned in that con nection and petitions were being cir culated yesterday favoring 'he ap pointment of several different gentle men. In consequence of the break, a good, many questions have arisen in. business circles regarding checks on the bank and currency issued by the bank; , TEX CUBBESCT issued by the bank, of which only about $22,000 is apparently outstand ing, is as good as gold, wherever the notes may be. They are secured by a deposit in the Treasury of the Uni ted States of bonds worth a good deal more than the notes call forT These notes are scattered all over the Union, as they pass in one State just aa free ly as in another; and it will take some time for them all to be returned to the United States Treasury for pay ment; The bonds being worth more than the notes, there will be an over plus of several thousand dollars in the United States Treasury after pay ing the notes, but we have an im pression that when the Government pays the notes', the bonds deposited will bepnirlaihi flnwwnftwt. . ioe1ted with Ihe United States Treasury to redeem mutilated notes; all of this fund we believe will even tually be returned to the bank. As far as CHECKS on the broken bank are concerned, while every man ought to consult his own lawyer, yet we are under tne im pression that if a check could not with due diligence have been presented- and payment received from the bank, the holder of the check may, still look to the maker for pay ment of it- But diligence is required, and if there has been neglect in pre senting the check for payment, the maker of the check, who had money on deposit to meet it, may be dis charged. XOT1S. Some one yesterday solved the problem of why the absconders took the negro porter, John Uibbs, with them, i As they carried two or three valises heavily loaded with gold and silver coin, it was necessary to have some One to go to take care of them and hence John was taken into the scheme.

A com mittee will in the meantime under take the task of outlining a financial policy for the party. The com mittee will consist of eleven members. The importance of sev eral pending measures waa urged by their respective advocates and there seemed to be a preponderance of opinion to the effect that Senator Palmer's bill to establish a bureau of animal industry be given the right of way next week. Some rather vigorous efforts were made during the caucus to locate the silver views of Senator Stewart, of Nevada, but without any apparent effect. An effort was made to secure unanimous agreement to favor Mr. Palmer's motion to recommit the bond bill, but several silver men re fused assent to this. Xta Xtaaawrair Fredaaiak.
