The following Senate bill, hav ing already passed that body, is of much importance to our readers. A motion was made in the house to continue the bill to the next session, but the House refused to continue : "A bill to forbid boards of town ship commissioners and county boards of commissioners and any , ' and all officers or officer to assess j or levy and collect any tax for the j yilT payment of township bonds or iii" coupons thereof on judgment en tered up thereon issued in the aid of a railroad not complete and fin ished through the township issuing 6uch bonds and coupons and not accepted by the railroad commis sioners." ?j The bill will no doubt become a law, and in it our railroad-lax-rid den people will find some hope of a lifting of burdens.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The Other day iii the House, during the consideration of the sundry civil bill, Congressman Talbert of South Carolina entered into a strong arraignment of the Republican party. The immediate cause of the attack was the cursory mention of the Hanna-Payue subsidy bill during the discussion, which give the Representative from the Second district an opportunity to literally flay Republican policies and methods, closing his onslaught with a reference lo this subsidy bill, which he denominated to be the acme of infamy and in close keeping with Republican doctrines. It was a strong speech, and sounded the first note of warning against the iniquity of the scheme to pay a bounty to ships of a certain tonnage and flying the American flag. Mr. Talbert contended that it was contrary to the genius of our governmeut for Congress to enact- legislation whereby an encrmoa bounty is to be paid to one class of individuals at tho ex pense of another, and asserted, that it was not io keeping with tue spirit of the Constitution ior Congress to authorize a corpora tion to put its hands iuto the Treasury of the United States and to draw therefrom an indefinite amount of money, and for twenty years, which money was placed there by the taxpayers of the land, who would receive absolutely no benefit from it. Ry allowing a certain percentage per mile both ways for ships over fifteen tone, as the bill proposes, he maintained there would be created au indefinite charge upon the Treasury of the United* Slates-a charge limited only uv the amount of miles traveled by all the ships floating the flag and twenty years set by the bill, and could very reasonably reach the enormous sum of live hundred millions of dollars charge upon the people for. the benefit of certain iron mine owners and shipbuilders, who seem most in monopoly," he exclaimed, 'contoll ing not only its own rates, but sympathetically and by connection with au ownership of the grea' railroad systems of the country, entirely monopolizing freight rates throughout the country and on avery species of product.'-' "It is i double trap," he said, "which "itches both way." M-r. Taldert argued that the Republican . prescriptive policy ras responsible for the present ondition of the merchant rnar hant marine, and now this same ?arty seeks to make reparation to merchant marine by allowing it to ip into the Treasury and help tself to an immeasurable amount f m one}' for the next twenty cars. "In other words, this bill roposes lo resuscitate .the iner rant marine, whose destuction is ne to the shortsighted policy of ie Republican party, at the ex uise of every other ir 'ustry and pupation in the whole country." ) such au outrageous steal he id he was opposed, nor was he liing to help the Republican rty to repent of its everlasting ssedness at the expense of tho opie, and that, too, when it is t possible to estimate the cost of ch expense. In closing, he said it the course of the Republican rty was one long continous road class legislation, leading from ustice to infamy, and from amy to iniquity, and from unity to stages unnameable, I this subisdy scheme was the m mum malum" of all their ustices, iniquities andinfamies. ?ol.
