WonId NOT Fratcrntzp.

Neither the leaders or musicians of
the French and German bands at the
Boston jubilee fraternize. An attempt
was made few days ago to get Paulus
and Saro together to set an example OF
amity which might extend to the bands
under their leadership, but it was a fail
ure. The German was willing enough;
said he bore no malice toward any
Frenchman, respected Mr.. Paulus both
as artist and gentleman, and would be
happy to know him as friend. Then
the negotiator tried the Frenchman.
With him the case was different. He
would take pleasure, he said, in meeting
Herr Saro and being friendly with him :
we're both civilians, but so long as he
wore French uniform and Herr Saro
Prussian one, they could not shake
hands. They meet, however, with cool
politeness whenever duty requires.

Inc Iobacconist again Before the Ways and
Means Committee-GeneraI Items

The TobaccOnist again Before the Ways and
Means Committee-GeneraI Items,
| WoShtngton, Jan. 23.-The committee
OF ways and means to-day gave another au-
dience to the tobacco men, of whom there
were twenty-five or thirty present.
The fine-cut men want the tax to remain
as it is, but the plug men ask for uniform
tax of l6 cents. There was also some DIFF
ference among them as to the bonded ware
house system.
Mr.. l.. II. Frayser, Of Richmond, yir-
ginia, was the only Southern dealer who
spoke. lie thought the interests of all
would be promoted by uniform tax of l6
cents. The plug men ought to be satisfied
to be put on an equal footing with the fine
cut men. A tax of 80 cents was hard for
them to carry. They felt that this was
wrong while the smoking and fine-cut men
paid only lG cents. At a uniform tax of
l6 cents the government would realize
s2S, 900 900 annually. In the third district
of Virginia the tobacco interest was nearly
stagnant, many hands being idle, owing
to the smallneSs of orders. They thought
the uniform rate of 16 cents would increase
the consumption of plug tobacco. They
asked for equal taxation.
The committee will hear other tobacco
uiSil
General Emory telegraphs to the Secre-
tary of War that everything is quiet in New
Orleans. .E
Col. Leonard, staff officer of Gov. War
mouth, is here.
The Louisiana committee is expected to
be absent three weeks.
The apportionment, as passed by the
House, provides for 2S3 members. The
amendments by the Senate judiciary COM
mittee propose to keep the number as at
present, with the ratio of representation
at 157. Divided by this ratio, the States
would have 226, but the full number of
representatives is to be made up by the
addition Of II from those States having the
largest fractions over one-half the ratio.
In these II States are included Tennessee,
Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, West
Virginia, Louisiana, and Georgia.
The Post Office Department finds itself
obliged to defer the augmentation of the
number of the money order offices, which
was to have taken place January l, until
July j, because of the recent Connection
with the money order system of England.
Eevry Office in this country must first be
informed of this system and its conections
before new offices can be established.

DOUBLE DISTILLED IMPUDEN

DOUBLE DISTILLED IMPUDENCE.-
'Mr. Van Auken, a member of the COM
mittee, and Mr.. E. A. Dayton, merchant
of this city, complained that no invitations
were extended to Northern immigrants,
while extraordinary endeavors were pro-
posed to secure European settlers.
"Mr. Lovenstein caustically replied to
these gentlemen, and showed why certain
Northern people were not desirable acces-
sions to Virginia communities, but denied
that genuine settlers were ever made other
than welcome in Virginia. ."-Enquirer.
The Mr.. Lovenstein referred to in the
above article, is an importation to this coun-
try from Europe, who undertakes to ''caus-
tically reply'' to two American citizens,
one of whom is large and respectable
dealer in machinery in this city. Had Mr..
Lovenstein possessed an atom of modesty
he would have kept has mouth shut, but as
he did not, we are obliged to believe he
possesses the impudenee Of the devil, and
exhibited the whole Of it last night.

POLICE lTEMs.--Sarah Lawrence, who

times during the past few months, on the
charge of completely in the robe and shawl
theft, and whose husband, Richard Law
renee, is now en- route to the Hastings
court to answer to the charge of the theft,
was up this morning on the charge Of
abusing the mother of little girl who had
borne witness against her husband. Sarah
was required to give surety in the sum of
$500 to be of good behavior for twelve
months.
Harriet j.. Anderson was sent to Jail for
thirty days for stealing iron from the Rich
mond and Danville railroad depot.
Jonas Epps was this morning sent on to
the Hastings court to answer the charge of
grand larceny, committed on the premises
of f. II. Doane.
For petit larceny, Archie White was sent
to jail for six months. Thomas Wright
was sent to Jail for the same length of time
for the same offence.

forcibly ejecting the family and household
effects of George w. Weaver from house
owned by them and rented by Mr.. Weaver,
were fined S. apiece.

FOREIGN SUMMARY.

Reports from San Domingo announce
considerable triumphs by Cabral over
Baez.
--Hayti adyices state that the President
has rendered himself unpopular by pardon
ing political prisoners.
Twenty-Five native Egyptians were
swept from the decks of the steamer
"Nada," near Alexandria, in storm, and
drowned.
1t is believed that NJ. Grevey, Presi-
dent of the Assembly, will be elected
Vice-President of France.
--Advices from the Cape of Good Hope
represent that rich discoveries continue to
be made in the diamond field. Among
others, two diamonds had been found Of
1000 carats each.
1t is reported that during the crisis
caused bv the fear that Theirs would re-
sign, agents of the lmperialists circulated
among the officers Of the army and sought
to ascertain their disposition towards the
Empire, and whether there was any feeling
in favor of the restoration.
News has been received of the wreck
of the African mail steam packet MAC
Gregor Laird" The steamer was on her
way from the Cape of England, and was
driven ashore in gale on the Guinea coast.
The passengers and crew were landed in
safety. The specie was also saved, but the
remainder Of the cargo is total loss.

YOUNG CULPRITs.--Wh shall be
done with the juvenile criminals of the city,
is question which should at once claim
the attention of our authorities and benev-
olent citizens. Between four and five hun
dred offenders, fifteen years old and under,
are annually arrested by our police force,
and taken before Justice White for
examination, and, as we ourselves
know, that worthy official is quite
often puzzled to know how to make
a fitting disposition of those youthful
violators of law and order. TO send them
to Jail to come in contact with the hardest
criminals who occupy that institution, is
revolving to the humane feelings of all. To
release them, unwhipped of justice, is per-
haps in many cases only to send them on
in their career of crime, soon to become
unreclaimable experts. There should, it
seems to us, be some place of corrective
and reformatory character, where juvenile
offenders can be held and subjected to such
discipline and treatment as will meet the
ends of justice, and, if possible, turn them
from their evil ways.

LEGISLATIVE INDOLENCE

There can be no valid excuse for the in
disposition shown by majority of the
members of the Legislature to devote rea-
sonable portion of their time to full ses-
sions. We are pretty familiar with State
Legislatures, and think we know how much
the excuses given as to committee work,
&C., are worth.
Before work has been matured in COM
mittee, one meeting day may be quite ex-
cusable. But at this juncture; two ses-
sions of three to four hours each, would
not be everlasting the members, and are
needed for the proper expediting of the
public business. ......
We don't propose to make a fight for
the reduction of pay to members. We
think the present per diem none too much
for faithful representative, but we want a
''fair days work for a fair days wages"
and we want the public business done
deliberately and in "open court" Mr..
Smiths resolution for night sessions was
lost by majority of five. We trust that
he will call it up again, and put the names
of the men on record who think that three
hours is a legal days work in Virginia.
The open session is also the best place to
educate the Legislator to that knowledge of
his duties, which constitutes large share
of the work, of each meeting Of these
bodies. 1t is there that they both imbibe
the spirit of the work, they are sent to per-
form, and learn how to do it. Let the
working members give their lazy comrades
no peace, till they come up to time promptly.
