THE TOBACCO Tax Washington
Letter to the Hera1a Last year
when the tobacco tax was consolidated
at twenty cents it was Thought that the
revenue receipts from this source for
the fiscal year now closing would show
a decrease Of at least FIVE Or six mill
ions as compared with former years ;
but instead of that amount the figures
show that the decrease is only about
eight hundred thousand dollars, OF
about one seventh Of the estimate. I'm
der the old law, it will be remembered,
the tax was thirty-two cents and six
teen cents per pound, and Commission
er Douglass recommended q consolidation
OF the tax at twenty four cents pei
pound. Congress, however, fused it at
twenty cents, and the result is highly
satisfactory. Under the new law every
thing works harmoniously. and there is
scarcely any trouble between the auth
critics and dealers, as the law is sim
pie and easily understood by all. In
settling up the accounts of assessors Of
internal revenue before those officers
retired Commissioner Douglass ascer
tanned that In some instances assistant
assessors had charged for double duty
when they acted as gaugers, and he
Immediately directed that but one sal
airy be allowed them, the great
CT amount Of the two. By this action
several thousand dollars were saved
though much to the disgust of the as
SCISSORS, who expected the double pay.

THE RADICAL NoAINATION.--Geo.
E. Deneale, an old Tenth Legion Dem
ocrat who has been considered 'Siishy,"
by the Conservatives for some time
past, is ont in long letter to the State
Journal declaring that ''Barl1is is will
in" He~will accept the nomination of
the Radical party for the office of
Governor, and be very thankful for the
favor. He bids strongly, declaring that
he voted for Grant and is in accord
with the Administration. What more
could be asked? Nothing, the Journal
seems to think, for it accepts lir. Den
eale's declaration Of principles and ex-
presses willingness to trust the cause
OF the party in his hands. We think
it much more probable that Deneale
may be the nominee Of the party than
that Gen. Wise will be accepted on his
own terms,
1t is not a little remarkable, that
the three men that have been most fire.
quently spoken Of as the probable can
didates Of the Radical party, belonged,
to that old States Rights party! We
allude, Of course, to Hughes, Wise and
Deneale. They seem to have forgot
ton their former doctrines and are now
willing (the first and last, certainly to
accept a nomination from the party
that has nearly obliterated the lines
that separated Federal from State pre-
negative and consolidated the Govern
ment under something equivalent to
King, Lords and Commons, with State
government nowhere! We think that
this is a singular spectacle, to say the
least. -Lg1ech5Nrg NiygilaiGn.

New YoRx, July 2.-The charge of
Judge Davis in the Walworth case,
was, that if the jury were satisfied from
the evidence, that young Walworth
came to New York to murder his
father, then the crime was murder
in the first degree, but crime committed
in sudden madness on the instant, then
would be murder in the second degree.
New York, July 2, IL o'clock, P.
M. Walworth was found guilty of
murder in the second degree.

The GREAT SToRM-The Geographic
dispatches tell woful tale of fearful
storm ofswind and rain which swept
through the west on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday last. Its limits
are not precisely defined, but we hear
Of it extending northward to Minnesota
thence eastward through Wisconsin.
Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and
Ohio, southwark into Kentucky and
westward to the borders of Kansas.
Buildings and forests we've leveled to
the ground by the mighty force of the
tornado, the standing growth of crops
was swept away like chaf before the
wind, the rivers We're flooded and i'll
undated the adjacent country, the rail
roads aere interrupted and the telegra-
pr wires blown down for miles upon
miles. The storm centres were varia-
bic, and were determined as if the hur
ricane were devided up into a number
Of cyclones, each embracing a certain
extent of territory The amount Of
damage, ifthe first accounts are no,
overstatements, must be immense.
Through the vast stretch Of country EN-
braced, the wheat, corn and other Ger
calls were either just ready for the sick
| le or We're within week Of ripening
Their value represented millions Of dol
lars, and it is only too probable that the
yield will now be but a fraction o.
what it would have been but for the
destroying agent which has deyastelI
the fertile fields.

"A San Francisco dispatch claims for
California horses the credit of having
made the fastest running time on rec
ord. Two one mile heats in 1:43 each
is certainly remarkable, and the entire
race was unequalled for its speed.
Frank Walworth, the parricide, has
been found guilty Of murder in the
second degree.
On Saturday Judge Davis sentenced
young Walworth to confinement at
hard labor and for life in the Sing Sing
prison.
Hon. George w Jones, of Iowa,
heretofore one of the most prominent

for twelve years United States Senator

Notwithstanding unusual precautions
were taken in all the leading cities to

firearms and fireworks, and seven
deaths These are but a few of the
many occurrences of the day, involving
serious loss Of life and property.
Geo. (. Pugh Oem ocrat), of Ohio,
formerly United States Senator from
that State, has declared his adhesion to

corruptions of the land come of too
strict adherence to party lines in cleo
tons Of public officers.
George L. Deneale, Esq, of Rocking

Grant last year, says i'll a long letter
which appeared in.yesterdays State
Journal that he will accept the Re
publican nomination for Governor if
rendered to him. No one who knows
him will doubt the truth of this state
lnent. He stands no chance Tor the
nomination.

LIME AND LlMEsToNE.-A letter from
a gentleman travelling at the North
to the Manassas Gazette, says: of cur
limestone companies near Front Royal
would become SO wealthy as those
of Southern Pennsylvania, let them 90
into the business in the most extensive
manner, and then let the people patron
ize them. The W. G. Y. n. s. G. S. r.
R, could well afford to make extensive
arrangements for the cheap transporta-
ton of lime. Their increased freight
from the milk, yeae'ables and cattle,
which would be sent over the road, and
the great Influx of emigration and travel
which would follow would abundant
ly repay them though they should
carry the lime at less than cost. When
the Manassas and Potomac r. r. is
completed a large lime depot at Poto-
mac City would supply lime all along
the Potomac by tho same cheap water
transportation that has supplied Della
ware"
