Duties on Sales at Auction postponed.--After having been once rejected, then re-considered, amended and passed, the bill for laying duties on certain sales at auction of foreign goods has been again re-considered, in the House of Representatives, and postponed to the next session of congress. The bill for authorising a loan has passed through a committee of the whole in the House of Representatives; the amount proposed being three millions of dollars. Thus, all the parts of the system, reported by the committee of manufactures, have been rejected, or, what is tantamount, postponed to the next session. It is not, however, those who are opposed to affording further encouragement to manufactures, that have defeated the auction duty bill. It had passed the house of representatives, and has been re-considered and postponed, at the suggestion of those who at first supported it on the ground that, unconnected with the tariff bill, its operation would have been unimportant to the manufacturing interest, and partial in other views.
