phtCthshOhu AOoAScU OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
[Erom the Washington Republican Of yes,crday.I
TIE TOBACCO TAx.-The Richmond to.
bacco manufacturers have resolved pro-
test against any proposed increase In the tax
upon manufactured tobacco, rs proposed by
the Secretary of the Treasury, upon the
ground that it is burden upon the producer
and manufacturer, and will tend to dis
courage production to such an extent as to
keep the revenue down TO it's present stand
ard, and possibly even to reduce it's volume.
1t Is time that the manufacturers of the
country should understand that it is per.
fecsiy well knownat the Treasury and in Con.
gress that the taxes collected upon the produc-
tions OF their establishments are paid BY the
consumers in all Instances. The only diff
terehce IL MAKES, or can make, to the maru-
iaeturer IS that they are called upon to ad-
vance more money in order TO place their
productions upon the market. the DeoDle
who consume tobacco prefer to nar Iarpe
proportion of their taxes for the siipnort of
the Government through the agency of that
and other luXurieS the manufacturers have
little cause to find fault. Increase Of revenue
being the Object OF the Government, how.
ever, great care undoubtedly will be taken
to arrive at the ,uGan rate OF taxation which
will secure the largest accession to the Urea.
Sury without diminishing production. II is
clear that such course is quite as vital to
the best interests OF the Government as to
those of the manufacturers. ....

BysEFICIAL EFFECTS OF PENNsYLvAS1A's

Patriot, january 9.]--Thc hrst week OF. the
session of the Legislature under the opera
lion of the new Constitution will close to-
day, and we are already i'll position to estl-
mate some Of the effects. The new instru'
mcut works as keenly and remorselessly as
the axe of the guillotine. 1t is impossible for
the most careless observer Of legislative pro-
ceedngs not to witness the wonderfuE trans
formation that has taken place. A purer
and healthier atmosphere preVades tho capt.

have not reared sheir heads. In fac, 1.-THE
lobby ceased 10 exist on the day the new
Constitution went into operation. The full

HOUSE BURNED.-The residence Of Rev.
W. II. d. Moucure, of Stafford, was burned
last Saturday night with the whole Of its
contents. 1t is said that Mr.. Moncure's
father some time since gave him the old
homestead. Mr. Moncure went to the ex"
pense of repairing and repainting the house,
which had just been completed. On Satur-
day he and his family went over to Judge
Moncure's (AlrS. Moncure's father). and
while there the residence was burned, rs
above stated. There can he no doubt but
that it was tue work of an incendiary.

TIE COUNTY CoURrs-We do not believe
that the legislative body which virtually
abolished the county court gave the subject
the consideration which its importance de.
manded. The people, as a general thing,
did not demand or call sor the change, and
certainly time and experience have shown
that no Inherent defects in the county court
system itself required such an alteration in
its organization and powers as almost
amounts to an abolition of it altogether. 1t
is to lie hoped that the present Legislature
will give the subject their careful and pa
tent tention.-LWchburg Nrginsan.

STEAM ON CANALs.---Steam navigation on
the Erie can now be considered On accom-

steamers havo been running upon the Erie,
and during the past season with undoubted
success. They have not injured the banks,
and they have shown they can transport
freight much more quickly and cbeaply than
the households. Two companies to run
steamers on the Erie canal have already been
formed, and there is no doubt there will be
large number Of such boats running next
season.--NeU York Times.

DIsGRAcEFUL SCENES AT A DAVENPORT
"SEANcE."- EFrom the Wheeling CIV. Va)
Reqister. January - 1.-The Davenport Bre-
theirs were advertised to give one Of their
spiritual prestidigitations, Or whatever other
kind of entertainment you choose to callit,
at the Opera-House on Saturday plight, aud
consequently a Heterogeneous audience as
!sembled to witness it. 1t seems that great
number Of men and boys went there for the
express purpose OF having row, and they
had il. The first part of the entertainment
passed off quietly enough, but when the
g Brothers were about to give their "Gark
spancev the fun commenced. AS soon as
the lights were turned down and everything
in readiness to commence operations, a half
dozen dark.lanterns in the hands of those in
the audience flashed simultaneously on the
:. Brothers" The lights were immediatly
turned on, and the Davenports refused 10
proceed with the seance, and said the per-
formauce for the evening had conciuded.
Then commenced the most terrific !cn-
ing, whooping,. bawling, hootlng, Missing,
bowling, shrieking, screaming, grooming,
and screeching we ever heard; in the midst
of which the gas was turned OF, leaving
the audience in complete darkness. IDS
was confusion worse confoupded. Inc
shades Of the gas-lights on the Saiiers WIZ
pulled of and hurled across the room, chairs
were thrown on the stage, and shouts OF
i" Fraud Sc Tar and feather them" &c., ac'
companied the flying articles. The excite
ment fiually subsidized, and the crowd as
persed. The conduct on the part OF some
of those present was outrageous, ana q aus
grace 10 the CITY. When people buy tlckets
to see fraud, and are humbugged, taey
have no right to complain. The Dayenpof!s
are clever performers IN their line OF Dusl-
ness. hut no one of ordinary sense believes
thew have spiritual aid in accomplishing
their tricks. We hope that If they ever give
another performance In Wheeling, for the
gnod name OF the city, no such scene as That
of Saturday night will be repeated.
