have matters seemed so serious as TODAY.
Cold, clustering weather has made he loss
of public conveyances more trying to eiti-
zens, many of whom are now compelled tsr
walk to distant homes in the suburbs and
remote parts of the city.
Trade is seriously embarrassed by the
almost impOssbilitY Of getting anything
moved, producing great duIlness in many
departments and rendering prices almost
nominal. Freights are accumIating at the
depots, while consignees are able to care
for them only with the greatest difficulty.
Large numbers of oxen are in use in all parts
of the city, and man power to wagons is
largely used.
Since dark this evening scarcely vehicle
can be seen on the streets.

Yesterday afternoon there was heavy
snow at Chicago, and light snow at Cincin-
natl, Davenport Iowa, Keokuk, Louisville,
Omaha, Pittsburg, St. Louis and St. Paul.
From the fact that the thermometer was
49, below zero at Fort Benton yesterday
morning, there are reasons to- believe that
winter is upon the people of that section of

abolition OF special class societies has long been
debated by the faculties OF the different colleges,

Rinia Awaiting the Decision of the Ways
and Means Committee the Tobacco
Observation-Disclosures Manufacturers mt
StanGistill and the "Weed WOrkers'' Of

RICHMOND, Feb. 20, 1872.
The entire tobacco trade of this State and North
Carolina Is at a standstil, in consequence OF the
delay in Congress IN passing q uniform tax on the
manufactured article. Scarcely any manufacturers
are at work, and those who are buy very
cautiously and touch lightly, owing 10
the uncertainty about the tax. There
are three propositions now before the
Ways and Means Conmittee-to fix a tax at either
sixteen, twenty, twenty -four cents on the
pound but the stagnatlon IN the trade is now so
oppressive to the planters. the manufacturers and
be acceptable so as TO allow the resumption OF busl
ness
The markets OF this State are now guttad with
the raw material and the prices are low, but even
with the depression manufacturers are AFRAID To
purchase. There are now over thirty Thousand
owing 10 tue delay In liking tue rate OF
the tobacco tax. Ten thousand negroes In
this cliy alone, whose sole dependence Is In the
manufacture Of tobacco, are out OF employment, and
al an average each one OF these negroes mas at
least one dependent upon him. The same is the
