TIE THEATRE.-The combination now
performing ct the Theatre under the efficient
management OF Mr.. Ogden, Is really desery-
ing Of the patronage Of our Theatre-golng
people. Lila and Zoe, the trapezists, are
alone sufficient to crowd the house every
night, but when the attractions presented
in little Sappho and the troupe sustaining
her are considered, no wonder brilliant
audiences nightly throng the Theatre.
Uncle Toms Cabin is produced In
style not only entirely unobjectionabie TO
refined southern audience, but with fine

tional Tobacco Association are hereby
most cheerfully rendered to the Tobacco

generally for their kind and cordial recep-
ton, for courtesies so freely extended It's
members during their soJourn here, and
for the grand entertainment given them on
Wednesday evening, December 7th, at the

has been their treatment Of US that we find
it impossible to express In language our
deep and heartfelt appreciation of their
hospitality"
Mr.. Prague offered the following, which
was unanimously adopted:
"Resolued, That the thanks OF the visit
ing members Of the National Tobacco Ex-
change be rendered to Colonel Darlington,

.hospitable manner in which they have been
entertained at the Exchange Hotel"
On motion OF Major ". l. Sutherlin, IL
was
"Resolued, That it is the sense Of this
association that the present high tax on
tobacco has the effect of rapidly increasing
the consumption of the article in the raw
state, and unless the tax be reduced this
increase will continue until the raw mate
rial will be largely If not entirely substi-
tuted for the manufactured article, to the
great injury of the manufacturing interest,
and the serious reduction, if not the entire
destruction of The public revenue from this
source"
ON motion of Mr.. Bailey, Of Richmond,
the following committee, to visit Washing
ton when deemed proper, and lay the action
of the convention before Congress, was ap-
pointed by the President Messrs. Nicks,
