Labor and Hone.

In our industrial pursuits, we should exercise
more energy and indulge less in fruitless com
plants, and, in our nominations upon the po-
litical situation" we should cherish brighter
hopes and yield less to feelings of dependency.
1t is unwise to suffer Imaginary sorrows, for
there will be suffciency of real ones. We
should hope for the best, and be prepared for
the worst
Never dim joys brightest rays,
By gloomy fears of coming sorrows;
But always cheat the cloudy days,
With hopeful thoughts of happy morrows."
We have recently been compelled to drink
many bitter draughts, and may be compelled to
quaf many more, but sufficient unto the day

The question required upon filling with two

Mr.. SeawelI moved to add the following words
to the section as amended:

Mr.. Garnett moved to reconsider the vote by
which Mr.. Seawels amendment was adopted.
Mr.. Baldwin expressed his serious objections
to the amendment. It decided positively the
question OF the relative indebtedness OF Virginia
and West Virginia, at time when that subject
was referred to commissioners for settlement,
and amounted in fact to reputation OF one
third of the public debt, which until arranged
with West Virginia was clearly obligatory upon
the State Of Virginia. He thought it better
not to pass the blll-better not to pay any inter-
est than couple the act with such a provision.
Mr.. Crump Mr.. Seawell concurring,l indi-
Gated to Mr. Baldwin an amendment which left
open the question as to the extent ofthe liabii-
ty OF Virginia and in this Mr.. Baldwin acqui-
eseed, as not objectionable, since gentlemen very Y,
earnestly desired to have some clause in the bill
showing that they did not admit that Virginia
was liable for the whole debt
The vote was reconsidered, and Mr.. Crump
offered the following amendment in lieu Of MIR.

That being the interest which this State
feels obliged to pay until there is a settlement

ginia.

division

the following as an Independent section, to fol
low the last named; which was adopted

RUSSIAN AMERICA.-Th Toronto Leader,
in an article on the Russo American treaty,
says:
Hardly any event could be more unex-
pected than that Of which the telegraph
brings us intelligence from Washington.
Russian America, with its fifteen hundred
miles of sea-coast on the Pacific and Beh-
rings straits, has been coded to the United
States.
1t is quite possible that the world will
not get at the bottom of this Russo Ameri-
can agreement all at once. The treaty of
cession has been laid before the Senate,
but is that the whole story? Is there no
secret agreement behind it? No under
standing of the part the United States is
to play in the event of England going to
war with Russia about the Eastern Cues
ton, literally, so far as England is con-
cerned, for the preservation Of the Indian
Empire ?
Rumors to this effect found currency
some six months ago, and it is not at all
improbable that they were not wholly un-
founded. Russia may have sought the ALI
ance of the United States, and the latter
exacted as q condition the cession Of Rus
sian America, the agreement being that
the cession should be announced and the
rest of the bargain kept secret. Time will
reveal the truth but in the mean time
suspicion points in this direction.

Re-InsDectiOn OF Tobacco.

Our tobacco manufacturers having com
planned that all the tobacco shipped by
them to foreign ports was subjected to re-
inspection and TO further charge of five
cents per hundred pounds for such inspec.
ton, the matter has been referred to the
office of internal revenue for the decision
of the Commissioner. In reply, he says
Il have to say that you are correct in
your understanding of the law, and that you
will continue to require the reTnspection OF
tobacco received under transportation
bonds for export"
The reasons for such reTnspection are
given to Superintendent Warren, of the
Bureau of Exports and Drawbacks at New
York, and are contained in the following
extract from communication from him to
Simon Stone, collector of the second dis
trict of Virginia:
In transporting tobacco from one ware
house to another for the purpose Of sto-
rage it is considered necessary to ascer-
tain that the packages, in marks and con-
tents, agree with the permit when received
at the warehouse. 1t is manifestly OF
much more Importance that the same facts
be ascertained when tobacco has been
transported from distant point and de-
liyered for export, without going into a
warehouse, because in the latter case, if a
fraud is practiced, no subsequent opportu-
nifty occurs for its detection. If not exam
ined here, how are we to know that tobacco
is shipped at all! or that it is of the kind
called for by the permit? My experience
here is, that it is not safe to presume that
fraud will not be attempted. My opinion
is, that if we waive an examination here,
we leave the door open for fraud, and
there would soon be found those who would
enter it.
The question then is, how shall it be ex-
amined! 1t is not safe to leave it to 4
mere cartman, nor lading officer, who
knows nothing of manufactured tobacco,
and TO whom tobacco in the leaf might
appear to answer the permit.
The only safe way is to have Govern
ment tobacco inspector to take the permit
and see the goods, and report if same
agree. OF course his services have to be
paid for, but that is one Of the necessary
expenses attaching to all cases Of transfer
of bonded goods, and does not apply alone
to tobacco.
You ask if the law sanctions it. The
law relating to tobacco provides that al
provisions of law and all rules and regula.
tons relating to distilled spirits in bond
shall apply so far as practicable to tobac
co in bond, and the regulations for rein,
spection of spirits are as applicable t.
tobacco as to spirits.

THE SUNDAY Can QUESTION IN BALrr-
MoRE.-In many Of the Protestant churches
of the city yesterday the Sunday car
question was alluded to. The circular
letter Of the Right Rev. Bishop Whiting.
ham, Of the Protestant Episcopal church,
was read from oil the pulpits of that dc.
nomination in the city. In some, the
ministers made remarks on the subject, but
in other cases the letter was simply read,
as requested by the Bishop. In few in
stances the pastors indicated that they
read the letter but in obedience to sug.
gestion, and In one case the minister said
that, looking upon the question as one al
together political, he would much rather
see the cars run on Sunday than have po-
litics introduced into the church.
The Young Mems Christian Association
east Of Jones's Falls held q meeting in the
Harford-avenue Methodist church in the
afternoon, which was largely attended,
and several addresses were made, the
speakers setting forth the many alleged
evils that would arise should the vote of
the people on Wednesday next authorize
the running of the cars. Some Sunday
afternoon meetings took place in the va
rious market houses, such as are usual in
the spring and summer, in all of which the
Sunday car question was introduced, and
the Legislature that passed the law autho-
rizing vote and those who now approve
Of the measure came in for considerable
share Of denunciation.-S,n,8 h.

Shooting ARRAY.

ALBANY, N. Y, April IA shooting
ARRAY occurred here this evening, which it
is thought will prove fatal. Two young
men, named Bultrie and Mclaughlin, while
walking together, were accosted by third,
standing with Bultric. On approaching,
he said to Bultrie: i am going to shoot
you" whereupon the latter ran off and
fell just as Ellis fired. The shot missed
its aim, when Ellis turning, fired his second
shot at Mclaughlin, who had not moved.
The ball penetrated one Of his lungs, and
it is reported he cannot recover. Ellis is
under arrest.
