"The question Of building railroad

the road will be built, and u we do not

CINCINNATI.

CINCINNATI Nov. 10.-A meeting Of
the tobacco importers and dealers was
held here to-day to confer with Israel
Kimball, of the Revenue Department at
Washington, to get the views Of those
Immediately interested in the tax opu to.
baCcO. There was Il full interchange Of
OpiOn, the manufacturers generally agree.
ing that a bonded warehouse was not
needed, and that the peddllng system be.
ing open to fraud, should be better guard.
ed or abandoned, and that dealing in leaf
tobacco should be better regulated. There
was some difference of opinion relative
to the amount ol tax imposed, though
they generally favored n reduction. A
committee was appointed to DRAFT resOlu.
tions expressive Of the sense Of the meet
ing, the same to be forwarded TO Wash.
ington.
Pending the consideration of the ordi.
nance granting certain privileges to the
Newport s. Cincinnati Bridge Company,
a resolution was adopted today by the
Board OF Aldermen permitting the COM
pany to proceed with the work on the up.
proaches without further delay. The in.
diCations arc that the bridge and railroad
companies interested will begranted every
reasonable facility for successful and
prompt completion OF their work.
The Aldermen to-day appointed spe-
cial committee to endCavor to secure the
national political conventions.
The suit recently brought by Morris &
ingalls,, receivers OF the Indianapolis,
Cincinnati & Laylayette Railroad, In the
Supreme Court against Henry q. Lord,
