The stock market was likewise false to the

to sustain the market by assuming portion OF mis-
burden. There was no important decline, however,
except In Rock Island, which fell to 116 on heavy

mttee OF the Department commissioners Hilton
Fields and Dillol-held meeting yesterday at noon
at No 25o Broadway, at which the Park avenue pro-
ana the Nineteenth Ward Citizens Association were
represented. The principal speakers were Mr.-Pot-
Ter and Mr.. Clinton, on behalf OF the property
owners, who stated that those whom they repre-.
sented were not opposed 10 the increase OF means
OF communication by The Fourth Avenue Railroad
but they were opposed to the construction OF the
tunnel on the plan which the Commissioners had
allowed to the railroad. The stairways would afford
classes 10 practice their crimes with impunlty
and the proposed openings were much 100
large, and likely to dsrgure the property and
reduce its value, which amounted to more than
$10,000000. Mr.. Foley, the representative OF the

A SHARP Misunderstanding Commissioner
Douglass of the Internal Revenue Department
has just administered the following scathing
rebuke to an underlipg at Albany, whose zeal
in administering the law was measured by his
cupidity:
SIR: have received your 'etter of the I'd
inst, in which YOU state that upon the receipt
of my letter OF February 8, YOU commenced Eve
suits against - for using half barrels for
putting up tobacco a second and third time,
ana that, after four hearings before the United
States Commissioner, upon the recommenda-
tlon of District Attorney -, these suits
were all dismissed, and you now write to In
oure if there is no way by which Mr.. -
can be arrested for the offence charged against
him. In reply, L have to inform you, that
boweyer reluctant you may be TO give up this
case. and to fail in claiming your anticipated
moieties, j am entirely satisfied with the de-
cision made by the Commissioners. From YOUR
own statement of this case, it was clearly
trick ON your part-aided, perhaps, by the per-
son who purchased the tobacco of Mr.. -,
to commit the latter to a technical violation of
the law, in order that you might brig the
suits. Clearly, it was not out of any respect
you had for the law, or care that its require
nents should all be faithfully complied with.
or lear that the revenue would be defrauded.-
L am informed that both you and your accom-
plice distinctly stated before the United States
Commissioner that tho stamps were thorough
ly removed from the packages after they were
first emptied, and that when they were REFILL
ed by - he at1ixiDs genuine new stamps
nterded ;nus nor pIacticed Inv "er.ne5 fran5
upon the revenue Mr.. is a
manufacturer and dealer in tobacco, Id
niven bonds in the sum of $4,000 for the faith
full performance of all the requirements OF the
law and the payment OF taxes, which may ac-
crue against him. As dealer and manufac-
turer he has paid coniiderable sums of money
into the United States Treasury and is, there
fore, entitled to some consideration at the hands
of the government, to protection at least against
voluntary spies and self-appointed detectives,
who would set traps and snares for honest men men

Labor in the South. Hiring Hands in 1870.

Labor in the South-- Hiring Hands in 1870.
1t is remarked that not one tenth the num-
Der of field hands are seen upon the streets
this Christmas as were any former Stree the
war. They are far less rowing. They are
getting more settled, and finding out that
yearly changes from one plantation to anoth-
er do not pay. Thousands of them are land
holders upon small scale-that is, proprie-
tors are giving each head of the family two
or three acres ofiground upon which they
have erected house. fenced in, and are cul.
tivating gardens, raising poultry, hogs, &C.
All such have no sort Of disposition to leave
and hunt other places. By this wise policy
the planters are obtaining leases upon which
to make future calculations and attaching the
freedmen to their possessions. This is the
plan worked upon for thousand years in
England. 1t is in the germ here, but
will eventually take that course.
The prices paid for hands are $3.50 for
number one men, $l20 Tor number two, 300
for women, and in that proportion for hall
grown boys. In contracts upon shares one
third 81 the crop is given to the freedmen.
In this connec ion, it may be remarked
