A bill for abolishing the tariff and throwing open our Confederate ports to the commerce of all the world, except the United States, has passed the House of Representatives with extraordinary and unexpected unanimity, and is now before the Senate. It is one of the first evidences that have been given of a disposition to establish an original policy of our own.
The bill provides for the repeal of all laws by which duties are laid and collected on foreign goods, wares or merchandise imported from foreign countries, except as regards to the United States of America. – Richmond Examiner.
