THE SOUTHERN RICE INTEREST
The Argument Before the Committee OF
Congress on the Question OF Reducing
the Duly.

A Washington telegram gives the following
particulars of the hearing before the House
committee of ways and means of the parties
interested In the rice duties:
Petitions were presented from wholesale
grocers of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and others. They ask reduction OF duty.
Under the present tariff, r!ce is imported Gu
tirely from the East Indies aud China. There
| is not q solitary cleaning mill In New York.
The rice goes to England to be cleaned there.
| A memorial from California was also present
ed, In which 1t is stated that The rice brought
to the Pacific coast was from abroad, and not
from our own fields. Representative Sargent
appeared In behalf OF the memoralists, ask
| Ing thai, 10 the modification Of the tariff,
there should be reduction OF duty on un-
| cleaned rice, so 1t may be cleaned IN Call
| fUrnia.
Senator Sawyer, of South Carolina, pre-
sented some arguments why the duties on rice
should not be reduced, and that the profits on
raising the article are small. Colonel Owen,
| OF Georgia, rice planter for eighteen years,
gave, al the request Of the committee, an
| elaborate statement as 10 the preparation oil
the soil and labor prices, &c attending the
production. He denied the statements Whlch
had been made to the committee that the
planters had entered into combination to
control prices; the profits were not enormous;
there was large diminished yield since the
war, aud the majority OF planters have not
made money.
John F. Talmadge, of New York, said
that under The present duties The rice culture,
in addition TO other places, has more and more
developed in Louisiana and Florida. Although
the reduction of the present duties would
benefit his trade, yet he believed that In four
or five years, under these duties, the article @
would be as cheap as If they We're now re-
moved. The consumption of rice was not d.
minshed by the present dutiea Senator Nor
wood, of Georgia, spoke of number of rice
plantations now unused for want OF capital.
| il this branch of industry should be destroyed,
about fifty thousand laborers would be turned
loose. They are the most ignorant OF all the
negroes, owing to the fact that they seldom
come In contact with the Intelligent portion
of the population. fthe rice lands should be
abandoned they could not be restored. By re-
ducing the duties on rice, not only negroes,
but planters would be severely injured.
AS announced In yesterdays NEWS, the de-
cision of the committee was to make no
change in the duty on rice.

tHe Thomas Concerts.

The Thomas Orchestra, now rapidly nearing
Charleston, are hailed wherever they 60 with
unbounded applause. In Philadelphia, In
Washington, In Richmond and In Norfolk,
they have had crowded houses, the audience
giving unmistakable seYidences Of their sp-
proval. The general character Of the tronps
ls well described In the following leader Of the,
Richmond Dispatch, paper which is never.
guilty OF indiscrimlnate laudation. It says:
The second visit OF Theodore ThomssB or
chestra TO Richmond was very successful. The
Assembly Hall was well filled with apprecia-
The most accomplished musical director VIC
have had, and his orchestra Is tho best drilled
and most harmonious That has ever played
before an American audience. The emphases
aua Gaoences ofthis large orchestra, nHmber-
i1g siAly OF more amembers, were as we'll a..
ne anee aa,a anu Exp gi1Rresnse as though made upon
sages. Above all, however, were the pas.
sages in full force; amounting in Wsaper,g
music to sort OF hurricane; 80 faultiess-
every man playing truly his part, without ex-
cess or deficiency its volume was never
deafenlng, but always graceful and admirable.
The man who at all appreciates music, and
did not hear Thomas's orchestra, forfeited the
opportunity to enjoy the richest treat In iH
way ever offered to the Richmond public.
This is strong praise, but no more than Mr..
Thomas and his company deserve. Charleston
is fond Of music, and will thoroughly appre-=
ciate the melange of classical and popular
numbers which form the programme. Tho
Thomas orchestra must have warm recep-
tion; the more especially as the only bindrancs
has been considerably removed. Inorder to
bring the concerts within the reach of every
lover Of music, Mr.. Thomas has reduced the
price of admission to ONE DOLLAR, with fifty
cents extra for reserved seats. at these prices
the Academy OF Music should be crowded, and
give at reception to the finest orchestra on
th 9 continent of America. - -,
The Academy OF Music Last Might.
The Templeton Company opened brief en-.
gagement at the Academy OF Music last eve-
ming, when they presented East Lynne. This
play was greeted by good audience, whs
went away we'll pleased. The play was well
acted, and the frequent paudits Of the spect&
tors showed the interest with which they fol.
lowed out the somewhat complicated plot.
The performances Of the Leon Brothers fd-
lowed, and were as thrilling and wondertuIs %
ever. The dancing Of the two sisters and the
sketches by Mr.. John .Templeton were all
given with ease and skill, and were well worthy
of the encouraging applause they received.
Tonight the burlesque OF "Humpty Dumpty'
will be given.
