rency, Of Mr.. Hooper, Chairman Of tho Com
mtttco on Banking and Currency, and Of several
other members of this Committee. All Of those

THE GOAT 1s1AEp Jou.
Senator Stewart, who has charge OF to Goath
Island job in tho Senate, carried his point to-
day by having the Ba1no referred to tho Military
Committee, whereby it esoapea the opposition
Of Senator Cassorly, who desired the reference
lo is 4 momber. Both tho California Senators
nre opposed to this job, and III view Of their
combined opposition it is doubtful il the bill
WILL pass the Senhlc.
| SUIT FOR TOBACCO TAX.
Several Virginia tobacco manufacturers hnro
commenced suit to recovor from tho United
States Government the amount Of Tux that has
manufactured tobacco intended for expectation
to foreign countries. Tho amount Of money
roalzed from this export tax in Virginia alone,
is probably over S2oo, 900. Tho manufacturers
tux arc in conflict with the Constitutional pro-
hibtions on tho power Of Congress, Which de-
clarcH that no tax or duty is 10 bo levied OIL any
nrticlo exported from State.
THE CASE OF CALDWELL.

Caldwell on tho charges Of bribery and corrup-
tion. Twenty-Five Important witnoascH havo

investigation tho 10th inEt., and it il stated
, tho BoaBion.
Notwithstanding the House today removed
! tho injunction Of Acerecy from tlo proceedings
tee, 1t is beloved that no exact copy Of the tos-
timony al originally given will ever DO mado

mony, and Bono Of tho Witnesses havo changed
