THAT adventurous and brilliant
demagogue Of African lineage, who,
strutting his briefhour In the South
Carolina Legislature, proposes to
recognize Cuba and prepare for
war with Spain, is an amusing par
ody and as such he may be useful
to some statesman of a paler hue.
He may prevent them from doing
this very act by putting It's ridicu-

ROGER A. PRYoR.-The New York CORE

ROGER A. PRYoR.-The New York corre-
spondent of the Chicago Tribune says of
Roger A. Pryor:
"Eight years ago, when Roger A. Pryor
strutted through Main street in Richmond,
all eyes turned to follow him, and such re-
marks reached his ears as helped to swell
even his inordinate vanity. To-day he
walks through Nassau street to his office,
and in that crowded lane no one is conscious
of his presence, aud few would know who
he is if he were named.
CATER the surrender Of Lee and John
ston he came North, and has lived here
ever since. He says the South was whip
ped that he has accepted the situation, put
the bitter past behind him, and gone to
work, and thinks it would be much better
if his late companions-in-arms would do
likewise.
"Pryor has little Of the old swagger,
the overweening vanity, the supreme self
consciousness, of other days. He takes no
part in politics, writes no letters, gives no
counsel, but very wisely keeps silence,
end submits gracefully to the inevitable.
"Pryor is picturesque-looking bru-
nctte; slight, erect, and graceful in figure !;
hes an intellectual face, with quite promi-
nent features; wears his hair long and be-
hind his ears is an interesting and fluent
talker, winning in manners, and socially q
very pleasant fellow. He has q wife and
family, and is getting good practice. On
the whole, he is one Of the best specimens
l know of reconstructed rebel, and shows
how much improved o man may be when
he has had the nonsense fairly taken out of
him -

A LETTER FROM COMMISSIONER ROLLINS.
The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue has
addressed the following to New York as
FCSsor:
In answer to your letter of tho Goth
instant | have TO say that Circular No. GS
merely authorizes reinspection of tobacco
which has been sold in bulk or barrels
hen parties wish 10 report prior to thew
time when the law requires such repacking
IL order 10 facilitate the sale Of such old
stock, it being alleged that at that time
sales Of tobacco in bulk could not be eff
feced. That circular, as any one can see,
holds out no idea that the repacking in re-
inspection would relieve the persons hold
ing such tobacco from liability to stamp
when the time fixed by law for stamping
should have arrived. l would further say,
the stamps required to be placed on all
smoking tobacco, fue-cut chewing, and
snuff, are tax-paid stamps, or stamps de-
noting the payment of the tax imposed by
the law, Of kind and quality enclosed in the
package 70 which the stamp is required to
be affixed. These stamps can be purchased
Of collectors on the payment of the value
or values which they represent, and they
can be had in no other way. II this is o
hardship it is q hardship imposed by Con-
gresg, for which this Office is not RESPONSE
bic. The law is plain, explicit, peremptory !;
and il is the duty Of this Office, and of every
internal revenue officer in the country, to
see that the requirements of the law are
complied with

stroyed the drinking saloon Of 0fftendinger
Brothers, the adjoining building, occupied
by Armistead Pride as barber-shop, and
also tho house adjoining, occupied BY G.
Castilogni and Charles Bolloohi as restau-
rant and bar-room. TIE house Of 8. r..
Dawson, on the east Of the burning build
ings, and of Dornin & Waldron, on the west,
caught fire several times, but the flames
were extinguished before they we're serl-
ously damaged.
The building occupied by Offtendinger
Brothers belonged to Mr.. Benjamin Wilkes,
Of Bedford county, and was insured by the
Messrs. Offtendinger for five hundred dol
lars on ground lease. The house occupied
by c. Castilogni and c. Bollochi belonged
to Mr.. Thomas Watson, of Pittsylyanla
county, and as far as We could learn was
uninsured. The building occupied by Ar
instead Pride was the joint property of
Messrs. Watson and Wilkes.
The Measrs. Offtendinger had an insu-
rance on their stock of $1,000, which they
suppose will cover their loss. The stock of
G. Castilogni was insured for $1,000, and
he estimates his loss, above the Insurance,
at 81, 900. The stock of Armistead Pride
was uninsured, and his loss is stated OF
$500. The fire was beyond doubt the

The GRANT-BASKs CONTROVERSY. As
the interest in the question whether Cen
aral Banks was ordered to relieve General
Grant while the latter was engaged in the
siege at Vicksburg has abated but very lit
lie since the commencement Of the contro-
Ycrsy il may be well to state that there is
evidently an understanding between the
five individuals who have possession Of the
facts to withhold them from the public.
Grant gays that all the information he has in
connection with the subject of his gu
pcrsedure by General Banks are the
orders from the War Department direct
ing union of the armies under the
command of himself and General Banks,
aud if General Banks has copies Of orders
instructing him to relieve General Grant he
has no objection to their publication. Gene
raj Banks says he has euch orders, but re-
fuses to give then. publicity, with or with
ont the assent of General Grant. He thinks
General Grant is the proper person TO give
them out. Secretary Schofeld says that
there is nothing whatever about Banks ST.
perscding Grant TO be found il the War De-
partmcnt; that if such orders are in Gene
raj Ialleck's order-book that book must be
at army headquarters, as Halleck was Gen
cral-in-Chief Of the Army, and not Secre-
tary of War. General Ilalleck and Nr.
Stanton will say nothing at all on the sub
iccg; so the whole matter seems to rest be-
tween Generals Grant and Banks Wash
