It is understood that both Cowan and Dix will be reported against. Seward's letter to Mr. Motley is looked upon by the Senators as most insulting and undignified; and it is considered that Mr. Motley was out of respect compelled to submit. The Committee will, therefore, report against any one nominated to the. position. With regard to gold sales the Senate Finance Committee favor the present policy of the Secretary of the Treasury. They have not yet disposed of the gold bill. 7 " The Ways and Means Committee were engaged yesterday on ' the tax bilL They will not report it however till they get the tariff bill, so as to adjust ' these two measures and make them harmonize.

THE EVANSVILLE DAILY JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1867.

the couimunity, which can not be saiu of the other measures, involving part U'n n politics, which have been unctor consideration. - -i It will be remembered that a prodigious!" hisrh protective tariff bill passed the House last Summer, but failed to be acted upon in the Senate. . He protected against it at the 'time, and hoped that this bantling of Messrs. Morrill. Stevens & Co., would prove to be tiil born, and so be quietly buried and forgotten. But a perusal of the bill just reported in the Senate shows that the brat is still alive and kicking.- So far from seeking to reduce the burden of taxation, the Senate Finance Committee seem to have entered into an alliance with,, the manufacturers to pile up the tanfl yet higher. Even where the House bill made a reduction, as in the case of tea and coffee,; this bill doggedly puts back the tax to the old rates ot twenty-five cents per pound on tea, and five cents on coffee. . . The one great evil under which the American people now groan is an allpervading system of high prices, and it is just as plain as that two and two make four, that high tariffs and heavy internal taxes are the chief causes that swell the cost of most staple commodities. Especially is this true m the case of manufactered articles so largely and so necessarily imported from abroad. According to the report th Briflfiial Commissioner of the Revenue, the present average rate of duty imposed by tne tarm oi 100 amounts to 48 per cent, on the value of the articles! and this is estimated in gold, exclusive of any premium to represent the currency expansion. Yet it is proposed to greatly increase this per centage of tax, and to impose duties of which the following are a sample. We quote five leading articles of consumption, with the duties charged on them by the tariff of 18G1, 18G4, (now in force), and the proposed tariff of 1867, respectively: " ' - ' ' . . BAB IRON.

The last named tax is especially outrageous, since it amounts to a duty ot from fatty to one hundred per cent. (according , to quality of goods) on the -i i . . i. value oi a necessary stapie in universal use. ' : ' ' Concerning this wool business, we learn two or three very sienificent facts from Commissioner Wells' recent report. The association of manufacturers of American woolen goods came before the commission, and de manded tor every cent of duty imposed on wool, i. e., the raw material. four cents per pound should be levied on manufactured woolens. "Nothing less," said this modest association, than a specific duty of fifty-three cents per pound on such manufactures will be sufficient to place the manufacturer in the same position as if he had his r iw material off duty a. position tehich he must demand as an imperative necessity jor the preservation of his industry. These gentlemen who thus placed themselves in the imperative mood, it appears, got all they wanted from the Congressional committee, and a little more. lr. Wells tells us that admis sions were made to him " by representatives of many of the producing in terests ot the country likely to be ar ' fected by this bill, that 'the rates of duty imposed by.it are higher than are necessary for the adequate protec tion ot their, interests. He rurther shows to what a severe extent these disinterested persons are about to pull the wool over the.eyes of the American people, in the following calculation, based upon the duty proposed in the bill on foreign woolens imported. Assuming the present rate of duty upon unwashed wool of six cents per pound, the present annual tax for the protection of this interest is, therefore, $30,000,000. But at the proposed rate, assuming eleven aud a half cents as the minimum, this tax will be further increased to the amount of $32,250,000; or, in other words, the proposed tariff on wool and woolens will tax the community (if it should have the effect sought by those who propose it), to the exteut of si-oenty-one millions two hundred and fifty thousand dollars per annum, for the protection of our interest, the whole annual value of whose product cannot be considered in excess of thirtysix millions of dollars. Can any such amount of taxation, on an absolute necessary of life in this country, be justified under the plea of protection to American industry, and that industry one which cannot claim high protection on the plea that it is not yet well established? To this forcible statement we may add, that the duty on iron (another great staple of which we import, and must continue to import a very heavy amount,) is now fully sixty per cent. ad valorem, and it is sought to increase it from twenty-five to fifty per cent, in addition. The tax on cutlery of all kinds is fifty per cent, hitrher than it was by the war tariff in i'861, yet another ten per cent, is to be piled on top of that, raising the dutv to fifty-five per cent, ad valorem. This egregious folly is defended on the ground of " protection to American industry, when every man knows

that the few hundred men employed at three to five dollars a day to make pocket knives, could get remunerative employment in other occupations, while the mass of people who must now pay from one dollar and a half to two dollars for what should cost them but one .dollar, would put the difference in their pockets. Even raw sugar, which came in at three-fourths of a cent per pound in 1861, is to be taxed three cents under this new bill. And tea and coffee, on which the House bill of ; the last session made a . reduction' of fifty per cent., are to be kept up to the present enormous, rates of duty levied, thus taxing , almost every person ; m the community on these three articles of necessity, .not: luxury (according 'to the American standard), from twentyfive to fifty per cent, on the value of what he consumes.' ' ? ' , . And these enormous taxes are levied in the face oi the "notorious fact that our National revenue is now nearly eighty millio-ns per annum in excess of our necessary expenditures. The people are beginning to feel the severe pressure of the complicated load of taxes which weigh them down, and yet the protectionists offer us no remedy save to heap additional burdens on the pile.

I HAVE TESTED THESE DROPS iu my own practice, over ten yeai-s, and do not hesitate to say that nothing has been developed by medical research that acts so powerfully, positively, and harmlessly, in cases oi female irregu;arity, as does this medicine. In all recent cases it never fails, while thousands woo have been long sufferers are indebted to it for the boon of health to-day. Although so powerful and positive, they are perlectly harmless, and may be used at all times, except when specially forbidden in the instructions. . To all who suffer from any irregularity, painful, difficult, excessive, offensive, or obstructed menstruation, Lencorrhcea, or the train of diseases that follow, I would say, try a bottle of Dr. Lyon's French periodical Drops. Being a fluid preparation, their action is more direct and positive than any pills or powders. Kxplicit directions, bearing my fac-simile, accompany each boule.
