Senate.

WASHIKCVON, March. 19.—Sherman and Pendleton presented memorials aud resolutions of tbe chamber of commerce ot Cincinnati remonstrating against the construction of a bridge across the Eanawber liver on tbe ground that it would be an interference with commerce. Re' rred to the committee of commerce.

Harrison from the committee on Indian affairsjreported it inexpedient to establish a military academy in west Mississippi for tbe training of Indian youths as soldiers.

Miller, of California, from the committee on foreign relations, in compliance with a resolution instructing '.be committee to inquirejand report what legislation, if any is necessary to protect the interests of the United States against those governments which excluded or restrained importation of American meats, reported the original bill providing for the inspection ofmeats for exportstion of adulterated articles ot food and drink and authorising the President to make proclamation in certain cases, and for other purposes. Placed on calendar. Yance presented the views of the minority.

VV A8HI»«roii,March19.—Curtis, chair man of the committee on foreign affair?, reported as a privileged question the following resolutions:

RBSCLVID, That the resolutions referring to the death of Dr. Bdward Lasker, adopted by this House, January 9th last were intended aa a tribute ot respect to the memory of an eminent foreign statesman who had died within the Vnited States, and an expression ot sympathy with the German people for whom he had been an honorable representative.

RKSOLVU, That tbe House, having no offioial concern with ihe relations between the executive aad legislative branches of tbe German government, does not deem it requisite to its dignity to criticize the manner el the reception of the resolutions or circumstances which prevented thsir reaching their destination after they had been communicated through proper channels to the German government.

Curtin immediately demanded the previous question. Reagan hoped the previous question would not be ordered. The House had made apologies enough for having been insulted.

Cox, of New York, moved to lay the whole matter on the table. Th as the way to treat the German chancellor. The motion was lost 83 to 125. The previous question having been ordered, Ochiltree rose to debate resolutions. He yielded to no gentleman in his esteem for the confidence in tne distinguished members of the foreign affairs committee: and ordinarily was disposed to rely on their judgment, but this affair had gone beyond the domain of red tape and circumlocution. It had assumed a phase which called on each and every representative to look to it that his individual honor and dignity were preserved, and in doing so, to defend the dignity of the people. It was not becoming the dignity of this body to enter into explanations of the meaning of tbe original resolutions.

The Lasker resolutions reported to the House by the committee on foreign affairs were adopted without division.

Members of Congress Trimmed in Green in Recognition of St. Patrick's Day. WASHINGTON, March 18.—Something unprecedented on tbe floor of the House occurred yesterday.

Richelieu Robinson wore abont a yard of it about his person. Mr. Hewitt, whose action is alleged by tbe IrishAmericans to have killed the effect of the O'Donnell resolution, wore almost as much. Leopold Morse, a Hebrew, created a good deal of amusement by conspicuously wearing of tbe green. Mr. Deuster, of Wisconsin, a German, paraded under tbe same color. There were dots of green all over the House. Among those who displayed the color were Messrs. Burns, Lefevre, McGinnis, Springer, Glasscock, Lamb, Beach, Wakefield, Follett, For an and Curtin. Mr. Belford was conspicuous with a large bunch of genuine shamrock upon his breast.

The Coart House.

The members of the Terre Haute Stone Works Co., will commence breaking ground for the new Court House within the next thirty days. This morning commissioner J. F. Roedel asked the consent of the company to the removal of enough sod from the square, now under their control, to the jail yard. Of course it was granted.

THB SPEICH OF MR. CARLISLE

What He Said at the Diaaer of the Hew York Free-Trade Clmb

Naw YOBK, 'March 18.—Owing to some misapprehension, Mr. Carlisle was misreported in the telegraphic account of his speech before the Mew York Freetrade Club, and the speeeh was again telegraphed to the newspapers. Below will be found the Speaker's remarks as to tariff:

Under the liberal policy established hy the constitution our means of internal communication and transportation have increased, and are still increasing, while under the restricting and obstructive policy of Congress our merchant marine, once a source ot pride and profit, has almost dissppearod from the sea9, and unless something can be done to anest its farther decline it will disappear entirely. Free commercial intercourse between the states has encouraged trade, promoted the development of our national resources for agriculture and manufactures, and added untold millions to the wealth of the people, wbile the protective system maintained by congressional legislation, to a large extent at least, shut us out from the markets of the outside world, limited the production substantially to the demands of home consumption, and in many cases actually arrested the further development of great industrial interests. [Applause.} Under this system, when any highly protected manufacturing industry has reached a stage ot development which enables it to supply the home demand, its growth must virtually cease, becauso its products can have access to no other markets.

The Constitution not only prohibited the

Btates

from laying imposts or duties

upon imports or exports, but it expressly delegated to Congress the power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare. This is simply power to raise revenue for public purposes. [Cheers. It is wholly separate and distinct from the power to regulate commerce between the United States and foreign nations and among the several states and with the various Indian tribes, which is conferred by another clause of the Constitution. The two powers were delegated from entirely different purposes, and it is a monstrous abuse of the power ot taxation to use it, not for the purpose of raising revenue, but fbr the purpose of prohibiting commetce. [Cheers.] It is impossible to still greater abuse that power than to employ it for private instead of public purposes. [Applause.]

Let no one, I pray you, misunderstand me on this point. The experience of DLankind has shown it is almost, if not quite impossible, to devise any system or scheme of duties upon imports that will not incident ally, in a greater or less degree, either injure or benefit private industrial interests, and I have never hesitated to say that I would rather benefit them than injure them but what 1 mean to assert is, that when the primary or principal object of a tax imposed by public authority is to foster private interests, it is not a legitimate use of the power ot taxation, but is simply spoliation. [Cheers]. Whether what is called protection, direct or incidental, is or is not really beneficial to protected industry, is a question about whioh I imagine there will never be anything like perfect unanimity of opinion but whatever may be my opinion upon that question, all must or will agree', I think, tha' there may be condition, under which it would not be wise to make a sudden change, even from a bad policy to a good one. [Applause.]

Tiller's Steal Amounts to $160,000. ST. LOUIS, March 19.—Although it was given out that nearly all the money stolen by Prentiss Tiller from the Pacific Express Company had been recovered in Milwaukee, it now develops that the company is $40,00# short.

It was publicly announced to-day that tbe proceeds of tbe robbery amounted to $16C,000.

Blood on the Moon at CrawfordsvilleCRAW FORDS ILLE,March It.—A shooting scrape occurred on Main street yes terday, between J. M. Kinney, of the Star, and Y. Q. Irwin, a prominent citizen and contractor. For several months the Star has contained abusive articles relative to Irwin, and the most bitter of any appeared in the last issue. Irwin met Kinney to-day, and proceeded to punish him. After being knocked down twice, Kinney got up and followed Irwla into Moffett and Bro's drug store, where he discharged two shots from a revolver at him. His shots did not take effect. Irwin was arrested and plead guilty to tbe charge of assault and battery. More trouble is anticipated between the two.
