The details of the tariA bill proposed by Mr. Morrison for the iw aldcraUon of4he Ways and Mean Com mute are not known. 1 said that ne ha taken tbJuMorrlll tnff of 1861 before tne war rates weTB established, and. with that law as a guide baa made average re notions ot about 30 per cent, on tbe present rtes.fie seems to nave aeted upon the theory, thing mast be done withthetarlS to justify the noise made by himself and other la relation to tariff re form when they were working np a sentiment in favor of Carlisle's elevation to the Speakership, and second, that by adopting the tariff duties of 1861 as a mUimum of rates for his new bill the protectionists would be stopped from raisins the erythat he sought to ruin the manufacturing industries and the latter position would probaelyhelp the bill If It should come befone tne Honse; bat It hat yet to run the gauntlet of the committee where It wig be In marked eonfliot with the meMBrW nicb Is being matured by Mr.

Hewitt, of He YeTkTand It falls short of the radical cutting down on all Imports that Is insisted upon by Mr. Hard. ewitt being the proprietor or an ex fnm manufactory, the key to his so far as It relates to metals and wool en and cotton goods, is found in the idea that tbe cheaper the raw materials can be obtained, the greater tbe profits of mana factarers. His revision may "be more com and systematic than that of Morrison, avTts chances in committee are likely to be embarrassed by the fact that 16 was framed by a manufacturer anxious to increase an already ample fortune. It is understood that it will be some time before the committee as a body will begin to prepare a bill.

One of Mr. Hewitt's Ideas is to make sugar free and give a bounty to the planter; bat this Is Insincere, as he knows that the toenzrty would be unconstitutional, or could sot fle adopted by Congress. 'Up to this time the advocates of the Mexl can reciprocity treaty have not ventured to ask another trial of strength. Tbat they have not done is an indication that they have made no" gains. Aeoording to the Information that can be gathered, the friends of thVtreaty are not so strong as they were when the Anal vote on ratine tl2S Wf had.

The Virginians are not altogether pleased that no answer was made to Mahone's at tackwpon the State, but the general lmpres sloa in political circles Is that tbe policy of alienee on tbe part of Democratic Senators has robbed the bloody shirt onslaught of Its fire. If the sectional matters In dispute bound to come up in a few days on the dmnnds bill, it is difficult to see what has been gained by the postponement. By Associated Press.J TWCMrctt AaraissC Gov.

WAsHigGTOjr, Jan. 80. Chief Carlos and hS delegation of Flat Head Indians had a conference with the Secretary of the Interior to day upon the proposition to remove the Fiat Heads now in tbe Bitter 'Boot Valley to the Jooo Reservation in Montana. 'Senator Vest and Delegate Mclnries will be at the conference. The Secretary sought to convince Carlos that the proposed change was for the best Interests of the Indians, as they were at present brought In contact with white settlers and suffered thereby.

He told Carles that the lands In the Jooo Beserva tion, intended for the use of his tribe, would be sold unless they were occupied, and the Indians would find themselves homeless. 8enatorVest also endeavored to Induce Carlo to. accept the proposition. A house on the reservation an annuity, of 9500 was promised blm, and other tempting offers were made, but the old chief maintained a stubborn silence, and when the Secretary offered him the paper to sign he refused it with an angry gesture. He was advised to tuink over the matter and to call again at the department.

Slooum, on moving the previous question, will yield his hour to Mr. Pnelps, who wis selected as an old friend of Geo.

Phelps's hands prl ate letters and other new evidence of a notable character, which will flatly and authoritatively contradict the various assertions made by toe opponents of Porter's bill in the coui se of the debate.

Washtkotok, Jan. 30. A petition was presented signed by 4000 citizens of the District of Columbia, and other petitions signed by a laage number of citizens in the Territories of Washington, Dakota and Idaho, all praying for the enactment of a law prohibiting the manufacture for sale of alcohollo liquors in the District and Territories. Mr. Hale called up the report of the Committee on Conference of both houses relating to the Greeley relief expedition.

The report recommends that the Senate recede from its amendment requiring that only persons who volunteer shall be detailed for the expedition. Mr. Sherman stated that if he had known that the bill when presented authorized the Secretary of the Navy to order any man outside of the line of bis duty to take his life In his hands, as would be esse 1b such an expedition as this, he would not have voted for It. Mr. Sanlsbury was opposed giving any man, whether the Secretary of tne Navy or the President, the authority to order or assign men arbitrarily for a voyage so perilous, while others would gladly volunteer for the purpose.

He did not know that the Secretary of the Navy would astign any man to work who would not be perfectly willing to go, but if the Secretary wanted to punish any officer, such an assignment would afford an opportunity. He remembered the fate of Lieut. Uerndon, whose explorations of the Amazon reflected so much credit on the country, and he remembered that tbe brave officer was assigned to the charge of a vessel against whose seaworthiness he had unavailing protested, and the consequenoe wss that the assignment cost him his life. Mr. Hale dissented from the views ex pressed by the Senator from Delaware.

He hoped that the spirit of the navy would be tested in this matter, and that the Senate would recede from its amendment. Mr. Ingalls hoped the Senate would not recede.

He was followed by a gifted young member from Lauderdale, Mr. Bill, who made an eloquent appeal In behalf of Democracy agalnsl such an awful precedent the turning of a city to grass because the Mayor elect is a Republican. Messrs. Bramlette and Worrell spoke forcibly in favor of the bill.

They are both members of the Judiciary Committee.
