The Tariff. Mr. of our Ntulv. has mtuta an im- ' j">it:nit umvnivut ii? tin? t?u>-tliruction. lit: has iHti>v.Uuvl a bill propoMiij; to rctluce i nil Unties of a hi^hor standard to 20 |??.T ! cent., and t<> iiu'.uilu IVa ami CollVc, now | t-n tint fret- lis!, in that sfhydult,'. This is tile point w lu re tlie < ."ontproinisy of 183.'Ji provided for S1 jo mine.:i..it of our voininuroial taxation. The in !mt tliat coitipmni i>o attained its ronsummatiott, it was viobttod bv thf North am! a tariff of duties was imposed upon Us more oprcssive than any ' w jiifh hatl before existed. The question i Wade by Mr. liuyw'* bill is, whether wo shall return to the prim-iples of that t'oiii promise Tariff, and after a lull trial of the resources of our coimiiiicinl system, i votitent ourselves with a .scale of duties ample fur the support of the Fed nil Uovern- | metd, and u Inch does not load our trade i with ex?nhit ant burdens. \Vc have to choose between a just system, and one which literally sacks oik* p<>ition of the Union to : pamper the other. Mr. 1 SovseV bill has two aspects : It provides for reducing extravagant and oppressive duties to a moderate standard, and f<*r levunt; a reasonable lax upon tea and cof fee, articles of utiiver-n! consumption, and I lie tax tr.inU which would, therefore, hi- out: -of themost just imposition tor I In*, suppoit of our common government. 1'lacing those articles upon the free li-t was a trick of Protectionist legerdemain, by which they ; made a merit of exempting from taxation, the poor man's tea and eill'co, but took rare not to inform him that they taxed higher his coat, his blanket, lii.s shoes, his coal, his sugar, and his .*alt, all equally lie- j cc*Ktrv to his existence and comfort We have no hope that Mr. l'oyce's bill will pass at the present session. The whole principle of our TariO' taxation, for a long time, has been one of injustice. It has been , founded ami carried out on the idea that some people should make m-'iiev by it. and me rest pav the co>{ of it. llt-nce it has been asserted to l?o beneficial to the country that its manufacture* of wool, of cotton, iron, and of leather, were necessary to its prospciitv. Tt lias been equally maintained, that the importations, not on!y of these articles, hut of salt, tea, coilee, :itul ?a multitude of others, should he made the instruments less of taxation than of protection. This system, as is well known, has been carried to the extreme for the fostering of Northern manufactures. We have had it as the soid of legislation fur the last forty voars. It is time il u-ic ,.nl !>-. - - ? ?-v u/ inv tun:, ?tid Mr. ] Joyce's bill tends in that direction. Let liiin, at least, vindicate his measure, if lie cast not earn' it.? C/ms.

Tlie House Ikes, by ft vote 159 to 50, passed llic Senate liill of the. last Session to amend , tlie Act, l>y which so mnny of the officers of! the Navy were dropped from active service or \ placed ou tlie retireil list.

Various pretext have Ih'cii assigned, they amount to n more at last than that the interest to hi- protc< led in the one* ease i- Northern, unci in the otl or Southern slave labor; an<l that the North i disposed to support a tariff so long as it beti< lits tin-in, and no longer.

The sugar erop has been subject t great fluctuation, yet it has rapidly increase* In 1 S l?) the crop was only eighty-seven thou sand hogsheads. (Kving to a succession of I in harvests, and the deterioration of the cam the produce has decreased sinec, until the croj <if the lust year amounts to only one hutidrci thousand hogsheads. Hut as inea-urcs hav lieon token to obtain a fresh supply of ean< with an average season, it is probable that tli production will recover from the late Ivpre.sion. This at least is no time to told to lit depression l>y making imported sugar duty free. Again, it is said, that fit the present high pri eos, the sugar crop needs no protecti?>n. 1 this were true, is it to be expected that the mi tjacious planters will g<? largely into lite bnsi lU'ss, with the knowledge that by so doing the; will reduce the prices so ns to destroy tliei profitp? How long are the present high price to continue? Ilere, as in every other branel of industry, the price depends upon the rati' between the demand and the supply. Th large crop of 1S5"? brought down the prices s< low that the consumption has enormously in creased. The production in the meantime hit been cheeked by the decline in price and th the unfavorable harvests.

The present high pricc cannot be long maintained, and but for tli failure of the Louisiana crops, would probabf linvc declined before this. It is supposed tliat the abolition of the dut of 30 per cent, would lend to a reduction <i the price to that extent. Hut should that moa> ure p\it nil end to the production of the 38H, 0(10,ijOO pound* of Louisiana pugnr, nnd w should be thrown upon foreign countries fo our supply, the prices would be greatly en haneed. Cuba charges nu export duty on sn gar, which id regulated by the prices here. As long as we have antics upon importci cotton, woolen, iron, eonl, ?tc., there is no rr.i son that ?ugar, the only Southern produc which is protected, should not enjoy the bene fit of the tariff ; subject of course to an cquil able reduction for the purpose of diminishiui tlie revenue. The Common School System. Ak id known to most of our rentiers, u bil to eslublish t lie ('oiiinion School System of c<] ucation in tlie State, wum introduced into tli Legislature, during the last session, ami bavin passed (lie House, was defeated in the Senat< It will coino up n^rain .111 ?-inir the next sessio and probably with i " proapeel# of sileeefi: Tlie bill was intro.ii: i l.\ Mr. Mciiiingcr, tli distinguished iiioii:i : 1?ni t'harh-jtun, wli lms devoted several y--ars past, to tlie eonsidei at ion of the Kubjeat of common school eduei lion ; whois conversant from personal obsei vation, with the practical operation of the 8V: tern in Europeand the North: and who, as Oliaii man of the Hoiinl of Free Schools i:i Charle: ton, has made a successful experiment of ii prncticnbility in that city. The bill emhndit tlie fruils of his enlarge! experience, and vrn supported on its passage l?y a very able specc which has lately been publisheil. The following are the lending features c the bill : A [ >i'ciiliarity, at tlie outKet, is tlir it does not seek forcibly to impose a nnifori system throughout tliv State. Any distric whieli prefers the present system, may rctni it, mid receive its present appropriation. 15u whenever in any district, it is desired tojidoj the C'oninion School Sy.-tein, the Coinnissioi ers of Free Schools are authorized to lay oi any particular town, village or iteighborhoo into a school district. This district is then t build a proper School house, and suitably fin nished; the expense of which is jointly d< frnVf'll hv tll<? Sttlfp Kv m* naunanrriAiif. n the gcnor.il tax of the persons residing in tii school district, thus laid off. All children r< siding in the school district, between the age of seven and seventeen years, have the privi lege of attending the school, and the expense of their education nrc defrayed equally by tli State, and by a general tax upon all purson residing within the school district; provide that the expense incurred by the State slial not exceed $5 for each pupil per annum, am mat mi* amount shnil be partly raised by tli annuitl Freo School appropriation, which sue! district is now entitled to receive. The Com missioncr* of free schools for the district shal have charge of such schools, uulesa any schoc district should prefer to elcct trustees of it own. It is thus perceived that this system inter feres in no mnnner with the existing systems ii parts of tho Stato, whore it fs inexpedient ti adopt the plan. Eveu in district*, where th shire town or any other neighborhood, desire to try the plan, the rest of the district under goes no change ; receiving tho tame nppropri ntion as at'present Hie only difference as t them, will be the increased 'amount of the gen era! tax, which they will he rt*^niri"d to p?j into the public trcaeurv.

Very extensive repairs and improvements 1 ive since been made upon the building and : te grounds belonging to it. The Orphan louse, ?s it now is, is built in the Italian vie; -'<0 feet long by 76 wide; five slots high; above the roof of the cenlial Kilioii of the building rises the belfrev, tiMincted forthceilv alarm bell, and is! -IG feet in height. From the top of this lay be commanded a magnificent view of te entire city and harbor.
