The Louisiana Election General Rous-

&. B. Packard, chairman of the Republic
can State Committee of Louisiana, has filed
with the Secretary Of War reply to Gene
raj Rousseau's report of affairs in that
State. ,rs s..a rrs- "a; mar
Packard's reply seeks to make it appear
that General Rousseau failed to uae all
means in his power to protect Radical
voters at the polls and to secure peace
able and fair election. To this end Packard
has been laboring with the Radical con-
gressmen, but his efforts have been weak
by reason of the presence of Colonel Kee-
Ter, whose statement of real facts upset
Packard 3 canards and exaggerations. Pack
ard states, for example, that Rousseau had
at his command two regiments of soldiers
atship island, in all nearly two thousand
men. Colonel Keller shows there were but
two hundred, aud they were required to
guard the prisoners We have here the
written Acknowledgements Of Radical leaders
in Louisiana that to General Rousseau
many of them were owed their safety, and
possibly their lives, during the election ex-
element, and this recent attempt Of the
parties thus protected to belle Rousseau is
regarded as ineffable meanness.

Menard, the negro member of Congress
elect from Louisiana, complains Of cool

on the part of his Radical brethren in Con-

to seats beside them. WALLACE.

BARLow's READY RECKoNER OUTDoNE.-
Andrew Johnson has cast Barlow's Ready
Reckoner, Sam Tilden, into the shade IN the
financial exhibit in his famous message.
Andy declares that the bonds of the United
States have all been issued at three to four
hundred per cent. discount. AS three or
four hundred per cent. is just two or three
hundred per cent. less than nothing, 1t be-
comes very curious and interesting cues
ton where the Government obtained the
money to carry on the war.-Ne1O HorE

Mr.. johnson says of the issues OF 90
yernment bonds during the war:
"The conclusion is becoming prevalent
that the amount which it the eovernmentl
obtained was in real money three or four
hundred per cent. less than the obligations
which it issued in return
Now, as one hundred per cert. Less than
those obligations would be precisely moth
ing, the question arises, how much does

FREEDMEN's BUREAU CONTINUANCE IN

PURCHASE Observation-Disclosures, December
1.-THE Committee on Freedmen's Affairs
had meeting to-day to consider the ques-
lion of continuing the Freedmen's Bureau
in the States Of Virginia, Texas, and Mis-
.issippi. General Howard, General Stone
man, and Governor Wells, were examined.
The two last named favored a continuance
0! the bureau. General Howard was I'M
lerstood to oppose the continuance, une-
uivocally at first, but modified his views
a.tcr fully considering General Stoneman's
statement, and it is probable he will favor
limited continuance. Rumor has it to-
night that q majority of the committee is in
favor of suspending the operations of the
Bureau in all directions, notwithstanding
Weiss and Stoneman's statements.
1t iss stated tonight upon what appears to
he good authority that Caleb Cushing was
actually sent abroad 10 negotiate for the
purchase of Cuba, and that he was autho-
-ized TO offer any sum between one hundred

DEATH OF a VENERABLE LADT.-We
learn from the Abingdon Virginian that
Mrs. Matte Edmondson died OF her resi-
dence, in Washington county, on the 3lst
Of October last, aged ninety years. She
was the daughter of Mr.. William Moore,
deceased, who lost leg at the battle of
Kings Mountain during the Revolution,
and sister of the late William Moore, Esq,
near Rock Spring. She had one hundred
and three lineal descendants at the time of
her death, and all within three hours ride
of her residence. She belonged to race
of heroines as well as heroes for when her
father was wounded at Kings Mountain
her mother left her, then an infant, and
went all the way to that distant battlefield
and brought her helpless husband home.

IMPORTANT TO ToBACCoNISTS.- WGShlng-
Ton, December 5, 1S6S.-Sir,-In answer
10 your letter of the Sth of October | have
70 sag that the Law imposes q tax on tobacco
reduced from leaf into condition to be
,,nsumed," by whatever mode such reduc-
ton NAV be effected, and also on all refuse
scraps and swcepings Of tobacco. Tobacco
rut upon the market for sale or consump-
Nr as smoking or chewing tobacco must,
under the law, be regarded as tobacco in
condition to be consumed, and therefore
,azable. And all such tobacco, before sale
or removal from the place of manufacture,
must be put up in packages as prescribed
Nv law, and have stamps denoting the pay
zcnt of the tax affixed and cancelled.
Manufacturers of cigars who sell their
scraps and clippings for consumption
s. smoking tobacco must pack and stamp
il according to law AMI as collectors Of in
,erlal revenue arc only authorized to sell
stamps for tobacco and snuff to such manu-
iacturcrs of these articles as have given
bonds as required by law it may become
necessary for cigar manufacturers who put
up their scraps and clippings for consump-
ion and sale to pay the special tax and
give the requisite bond as manufacturers OF
o'acco before they can procure stamps OF
the collector.
The scraps and clippings, however, may
tc sold in bulk without the payment of any
tax, provided the sale Of the same is made
directly and exclusively to manufacturers
tt smoking tobacco, or to any other manu-
:acturer who will use the same in the pro-
alction Of smoking tobacco, snuff, and
,icarcttes, or any other similar product
8aich will pay tax, and which manufac-
i1rcy is bound by law to account for to the
Government for all the materials Of what
ever kind he purchases and consumes or
U,ss.
Stems and sweepings which are neither
ina condition to be consumed nor Of sutfi-
Gent value 10 warrant their sale as material
70 be used il the manufacture Of other pro-
ilcts may be destroyed if done with the
knowledge and consent of the local revenue
o.1cers. Yours, respectfully,
E. 4. ROLLINS, Commissioner.

A New INVENTION. Miners Jour-
nal, of Pottsville, Pa, notices very favor
ably new machine just introduced on
some of the Pennsylvania railroads, to take
the place of the snow plows now in use,
which latter have probably failed to per-
form in satisfactory manner the work for
which they are designed. The new ma
chine is simple-an engine boiler placed
in car, with the tender on top the boiler.
From the boiler pipes lead front and back
of the car, down to within few inches of
the road bed, and extend from rail to rail,
where they are perforated with small holes
to permit the jets of steam to act upon the
snow, while the machine is being pushed by
a locomotive, or on city railway drawn by
horses. The water formed by the snow
will be comparatively little, as one foot of
snow is equal to only 1.03 inches Of water,
and as q heavy snow falls only II ID inchesin
twenty five hours, there will be ample time
to melt snow over the whole route of city
railway, once for every inch of snow as it
falls, which will prevent the formation of
ice.

failure, and the State be again made a
military district, and placed under mill

nittee adjourned over until 10 o'clock to-
morrow. The loss of Mr.. Stevens as the
head of this perpetual" committee has
destroyed in great measure its decision
and harmony.
The bill which was reported, and passed

On the fourth Thursday in May next, is by
