H TOBACCO CASE.
The United States Against Ed
mOnds, PettigreW & Co.

The case of the United States against
the well known firm of Edmonds, Petit
grew & Co. came up Yesterday before
U. S. Commissioner G. Canning Smith
The charge alleged against the firm was
that of conspiracy to defraud the Govern
mcnt of revenue. The evidence adduced
TO substantiate this charge was deemed
sufficiently clear and conclusive by the
Commissioned TO warrant him In holding
each member of the firm in the sum of
$4,000 for their appearance to answer the
charge at the approaching session of the
United States Circuit COur for this dis
trict.
Squire Hall and Deputy Constable
Garrett having been included in the
Commissioners warrant summoning
Edmonds, Pettigrew & Co. for tri-
al, put in their appearance, charged
with O~bstTucting the execution of the
UnitedStates law inasmuch a. the former
issued and the latter served a State war
rant for the arrest of the United States
officers, including Judge Emery, the SUI
pervisOr. As 10 them the Commissioner
held that there was no evidence that in is
suing or serving the State warrant, Is
quire Hall or Capt. Garrett intended any
Interference with the United States ReVe-
nue. officers or any interruption of them
In the performance Of their duties; or
that they knew that they were liable or
amenable under the statute under such a
charge as had been alleged against them.
He therefore dismissed them, with the re-
mark that If any State officer under Gov er
of a State process were 10 interfere,
knowingly, with a United States officer in
the discharge of his duty, he would hold
him to bail for the offense.

A BIG SPECULATION.
The Arkansas Debt r unded in the In
terest Of Fisher & Co.


We learn from agentleman who arrived
from Little Rock last night, that Fisher
& Co., the purchasers of the Little Rock
and Fort Smith Railroad, nave succeeded
in forcing Gov. Clayton to fund the Ar
kansas State debt. IL appears from what
we can learn that after the rival compa-
nies-one on the north and the other on
the south side of the Arkansas river-had
merged ana unified their interests, the
Board of Directors representing this COM
promise association, made a contract for
h construc. ion of the road with Mr..
Denckla, who acted as agent for Fisher q
Co. This contract was of course subject
to the revision of the Boston firm, who,
before it reached them, had formed a big
scheme to secure this road, and If possible
the Memphis and Little Rock Railroad,
as the initial of a thirty-ffth parallel road
10 the Pacific upon the subsidy of which
by the United States was to concentrated
the Whole p0lceT Of TIE present Republican
H6djority in Congress. With such a pros
pect before them, Fisher & Co., OF Boston,
refused To ratify the contract but offered
10 beeomethe purchasers oft road which
they did, as rumOr has il, by distributing
SS50,000 among certain Arkansas gentle
men, the amount TO be paid uponthe COM
pletion ofthe road, either in stocks, bonds
or currency. Once in possession of the
charter and franchises OF the road, Fisher
az Co. procured from the Governor the is
suance of the State aid granted under the
general bill of the last Legislature,
amounting to $4,000 per mile. This, with
eleven hundred thousand acres of as good
land as there il in the State, is q plum
worth having. Bnt the State aid being in
b )nds, and the bonds having no value
upon the New York market, were worth
less. The next step was tn secure the
funding of the debt of Arkansas, which
done, it was presumed a market would at
once be created for the bonds. The Gov
ernor succumbed before the urgings of
the Republican party of the State, and the
result was a telegram TO the Arkansas
financial agents in New York to fund the
debt, which was done and Little Rock no.
titled of the result yesterday. If these
fact are true, N from the character of
our informant we sec no reason TO doubt
them, we have new light upon the Fort
Smith and Little Rock Railroad Compa-
MES offer to purchase the Memphis stock
in the Little Rock road.
