Tnnneling Niagara.

"Shooting' Niagara is to be super
seeded by .,Tunneling" Niagara. n
bill has been introduced into the New
York legislature forming a company
with million and a half capital to
build bridge, or tunnel, from the
city of Buffalo to or near Fort Erie, ON
the other side of the Niagara river.
The Buffalo Courier says Of it:
The design of the projectors of this
company. We are given to understand,
has in view primarily the tunueling
expedient, and there can be no doubt
that such work, if within the limits
of the practicable, has numerous i'm
portant advantages as compared with
a bridge. Some twenty yeaas ago the
scheme was ably advocated by Mr..
Wallace, the engineer, who satisfied
himself By careful surveys that tun-
mel could be constructed from point
on this side of the river at or near
Jersey street. His estimate of the
cost of the undertaking at that time
was 81 100000, sum which would
probably need to be doubled or treb-
led to-day
The scheme, as at present revived
We suppose would naturally fall into
line with the crosstown railway pro-
ject. and it would certainly add i'm
mensely to the Importance and faciIi-
ties of Buffalo as a railroad center.
Had it been carried into execution
when first preached by Mr.. Wallace,
the Suspension bridge would never
have been built and Buffalo would
have had very different business his
tory. As it is, the recent cons ructio n
OF the Canada Southern and the need
of direct access to Buffalo on the part
of the Great Western ofC1nada. create
a pressing demand FIR more facilities
Of t. ansit than the Intern tional bridgo
eau furnish. 1t does Mt seem I'M
probable that one or both of the e
roads, might De induced to take hold
of the tunnel project and bring to i,
the necessary capital. The incorpor-
ators named in the bill comprise mauy
of our substantial citizens and some
prominent railroad men.

AN AsHANTEE HERO. Eng
lish correspondent, who arrived home
with the 42d Hignlanders, writes as
follows: "Among our passengers on
board the steamship Sarmatian was dis
covered black man who has played a
conspicuous part iu the little war. Tom
Dollar was we'll known to all who
found themselves with the advance
guard Born in America, he figured
in the civil war, and eventually found
himself in our royal navy. He was a
volunteer for the expedition, and was
one of Lord Gitford's boldest scouts
I saw him wounded at the fight at
Dab, ball having gone through his
thigh; but the wonderful healing..pow-
er which the black blood possesses in
contrast to white blood, served him
well, and he now walks with a wound
that would have famed an European,
for some months. Sir Garnet, in recos-
milton of his services, has sent him
to England in hope of getting him a
birth"

Tobacco Statistics.

Some one has been to the trouble Of
looking up The statistics Of the Tobacco
trade. from which it appears that V,r-
GINA is number one, New York mum
Der two, and Illinois number three In
the magnitude Of its operations. OF
the whole manufactured tobacco IN the
United States in 1870, Virginia pro-
duced over one-third in weight, though
not in value, her product in chewing
tobacco being "a ,324,O2s pounds,
valued at only s6,319,735. while New
York produced only Is, 5U640S pounds
valued at IS, l95,Sl9. New York pro-
daced 5,7S8, 706 pounds Of smoking
tobacco, valued at s1,l32 OIL, while
Virginia made only 1872, 400 pounds,
valued at $3.50. 454. Illinois came
next to New York ia king-tobacco.
manufacturing 4,453 $40 pounds, val
ued at STATISTIC la the matter Of
production, Virginia raises very little
cigar tobacco, leaving that to more
northerly States, especially Connecti-
cut. For the fiscal year ending June
80, 1873, the whole amount of internal
revenue collected IN the United States
was SI06.255, 537.5I, of which S34,-
2S6 BOB % Cor nearly one third was
derived solely from tobacco, OF this
tobacco revenue Virginia paid $685.

The Pacific Mail.


AN INVESTIGATION TO BE UNDERTAKEN BY CON-
aREss -sUBPoENAs OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TIoNE EXPECTED
Tho following was telegraphed the N. Y.
Times from Washington, last night:
The Pacific mail jobbers must now meet the
charges against them before committees OF
Congress. The Ways aud Means Committee,
finding an inquiry into the affairs of this com
pany upon it's docket of unfinished business,
has taken the case Immediately in hand. Yes
terday, at a secret meeting of the committee.
subpnnas were issued for several persons,
whose testimony was desired, and the members
pledged themselves to secrecy till announce
ments Of the service of the papers was received.
The late President Sage, Rufus Hatch, and C.
X. Garrison have been summoned. A subpoena
was forwarded for Irwin, who is credited with
disbursing the funds by which the subsidies
were pulled through Congress. but service upon
him has not vet been made, though meas
ures have been taken TO secure his
attendance The investigation will probably be
public. There is no doubt that if the facts can
be obtained the inquiry will make genuine
sensation. Garrison has said things privately
in New York, which have come to the knowledge
of the committee which if repeated here will
bring some members Of Congress into the case.
He is reported to have said. for instance, that D
certain Congressman threatened his life IL he
should testify to the truth. Congressional IN
vestigations have not usually accomplished much,
but the SUCCESS of the Committee on Ways and
Means last winter with the Sanborn frauds givea
hopes of its clearing up the mysteaies of the Pa
cifc Mail. The Committee OH Ways and Means
will begin the investigation as soon as the wit
nesses summoned arrive, which may possibly be

Court proceedings.

NEW CASTLE, Dec. 10.
Court opened at the usual hour Judges Woot-
ten and Houston on the bench A short charge
was delivered to the jury in the case Silas john
son, us. Presley spruance, garnishee, by Judge
Wootten and after an absence of about an hour
they returned verdict for the defendant.
The next case taken up was an appeal case,
Hanson Hannah us. George Mackey. The Jury
was drawn merely to fix the amount of damages,
there being no controversy, Verdict Judgment
for 1856 to plaintiff.
This case ended the Court list, the others on
the docket numbering over two hundred being
disposed of in various ways, being discontinued
while others were continued or re-
ferred. At 11.30 the gentlemen of the Gener-
al Jury we're discharged from any further at
tendance at this term. as the term has been es-
pecially to the jury tedious one, they received
their discharge with no regret but evident Joy.
The argument list was then taken up, calling
the case Of Mitchell, Vance Il Co. us. Ferris 4
Co. This WAS demurrer to an action of debt
on Judgment obtained in the State Of Massa-
chusetts by what is there known trustee
process. Mr.. Gordon, for defendants, non-resi-
dents, said they were not served and did not ap-
pear in defence, that the judgment was a null
lity. He held that one State has no jurisdiction
over another. Mr. Macalster argued
l. That Judgment obtained in State
Court shall have the same force and effect IN
every other State in the Union, that it has in the
rs between parties in the State of Massachusetts,
The effect Of tho judgment in Massachusetts,
although commenced by Trustee process, by
which all personal actions are commenced
whether the the defendant Is resident or non
resident, ia final and conclusive between parties
in that State, and is IN effect a general judg
ment dd ps,sondm.
Mr.. Macallister cited numerous authorities tc
sustain his proposition, after which MIR. Bates
also for the plaintiff, followed with an exhaust
i've argument, claiming that they ought to have
Judgment, even il the court in this State should
not hold the judgement conclusive. 1t is entitled
to the same faith and credit as for
eign Judgment. After submitting num-
ber of authorities Mr.. Bates concluded
Mr.. Gordon replied briefly, contending that th'
want of appearance Of the defendants was fata
and that no State had jurisdiction over non-resi
dents.

FULL DESCRIPTION OF THIS FINE scHooNER--A
THOROUGH CRAFr-THE GOVERNMENT LIGHT
SHIP, ETC. r.l h5
The following ia full description OF the YES
sci whose launch yesterday is chronicled in
another place in to-day's paper:
The three-masted schooner Henry X. TiltOp..
owned by Saml. E. Birdsall, Of Philada., and
others, is 125 feet keel, 81 feet beam, 8 feet in
holo j1S feet between decks, and will carry 700
tons. She is frst-class vessel in every respect,
being built OF Delaware white oak frame and
outside plank, aud yellow pine ceiling and deck
frames, and galvanized from fastened.
The cabin il large and very conveniently ar
ranged, with two companionways, has five COM
modious state rooms with berths for Six persona,
water closet, bath tub, wash basin and all
necessary drawers and cupboards 1t is also
provided with ample water tanks for long yoya-
ges. The cabin is furnished in hard wood-wal-
nut and ash panels with cherry mouldings, and
walnut pilasters with handsomly carved cap. The
effect is very pleasing and makes decidedly the
finest finished cabin ever placed on sail vessel
in this city. This part of the work was super
intended by Geo. Buzine, Esq. The midshiI
house is placed forward of the hatch anc
contains a roomy and convenient gallery on the
port side, and sailors quarters with four bunkf
in the etarboard side. y7-u
The carved work for the stem and stern, which
is quite elaborate, and is usually done in Phila.,
was for this vessel done entire by the builders.
1t is beautifully gilded and presents very hand
some appearance.
The bottom of the vessel is painted with cop
per paint, and from water line to rail black,
with three white stripes running the entire
length. The upper mouldings on the rail IL
green and the monkey rail white with turned
stanchions finished in oil. "a alI "a
The spars will be furnished by w. T.
Grffenburg, and the rigging by Feaster Bro
all of this city, and when completed she will bt
another substantial evidence of the skill and
enterprise of Wilmington mechanics. This is
the third vessel built from the same model al
of which have been in the highest degree salts
factory TO the owners. ..'Hlf's
The keel of the 7iiton was laid on the 4th o.
| June, but the first frames were not put up unit
about the middle of August. Her construction
has therefore been very rapid, showing the su
perior advantages possessed by the firm for thii
| class of work.
| The Government Light vessel, lately contract
| ed for by this firm, is being rapidly pushed for
ward and is now entirely in frame. They have
also just completed extensive repairs to the
| schooner E. q. Irlcin.
