TIE CAROLINE MEETINa.--We have
received letter from G.. Lewis Baldwin,
ESQ.,, whom we published yesterday as
secretary of the meeting held at Guinnep's
station, Caroline county, on Saturday last,
protesting against the manner of the
meeting, the speeches, and also to the use of
his name as secretary, to which he says he
negatively asseuted" when first applied
to. Mr.. Baldwin says: 81 am counted an
uncompromising Republican. | am for
Grant and Wilson with all my might, mind
and strength" The letter is entirely too
personal in its character to be admitted
to our columns, but we give the author the
benefit of the above explanation.

Saratoga, July 17.--It is the opinion of
racing men that Longfellow will never run
again, he will be most valuable in the stud.
During the race yesterday for the cup, one

other foot and leg badly. The plate was
broken in two and the leg disabled, yet
Longfellow ran the race out to the wonder

TOBACCO DECIsIoNs.-Th Commission
er of Internal Revenue declines to allow
persons to buy or sell scrap tobacco in bulk
as business. He states that the law i'm
poses tax of twenty cents per pound on
refuse scraps, clippings, and sweepings of
tobacco, and the provision of the law which,
under certain regulations, allows one man
ufacturer to sell his scraps, &C., directly to
another manufacturer, is an exception to
the general rule, and is intended simply as
an accommodation to allow manufacturer
to dispose of his own scraps.
In reply to inquiries Commissioner Doug
lass states that person who sells no tobacco
in this country by himselfor through others
is not a dealer in tobacco. A person who
simply buys and exports tobacco, the to-
bacco remaining his property until it arrives
in foreign country, is not dealer in
tobacco. A person who simply buys to-
bacco for and in the name of party in q
foreign country, and ships it to the owner,
the party buying the tobacco being at no
time the owner of it, and never selling it, is
not regarded as dealer in tobacco.

Question '--scarcity of Water.plugs The
Water Works.
RICHMOND, July II.
To the Editor oftte State Journal:
The fact is notorious, and cannot be de-
MED, that portion of Broad street, if not
entirely ignored, has been much neglected
by our city fathers. For instance, there
are no fire plugs on the north side of Broad,
from Seventh street to the corporation line,
and but three on the south side of that street
to the same point. A number utterly in
adequate for the proper cleaning of the
cutters, DC, to say nothing, of the extinguish-
meDt of fire, and for other requisite uses.
1t must be plain and apparent to every
every one that the health of the city re-
quires that every precaution should be ex-
ercised to promote that end, and cleanli-
ness is absolutely essential to accomplish
it. 1t is therefore to be hoped that a suf-
ficiency of water plugs will soon be erected
in the locality indicated, so that Broad
street shall be placed upon an equal foot
ing with other streets, which are now more
favored.
1t would also appear advisable that some
member of the police force be detailed to
see to the cleaning of the cutters, as well
as exercise such supervision as will pro-
mote the health of the city. In this
connection would ask, if all the pumps
at the water works are kept continuously
at work, or, are they at times stopped
while the grounds and buildings are placed
at the disposal of plensure-seekers ?
