WASHINGTON, May II, 1876.
i Letters have been received here from par
ties prominently interested In the tobacco
i trade urging in the most emphatic manner
the establishment of export bonded ware
horses at New York, Boston, and at one or
1 two other points, for export OF manufac-
1 tured tobacco; and 1t has been repeatedly
set forth that the trade is hampered most
1 disastrously by this want. Letters from
prominent tobacco commission mercnants
at New York declare that Canada Is run
ming away with their export trace, as tue
! Government provides bonded ware,
house to which their merchants can sena q
! their tobsccos. (at our various portsl ana
there they can hold it o long time, and Win
drawn for export in lots to suit purchasers.
This tobacco can, when bought, be sent I'M
mediately aboard ship. One complaint In
tbis particular ,egard-the author OF 1t being
n New York merchant-says he must order
supplies on from Virginia, and IN multi
tude OF cases there is not time to get theni
in New York soon enough for the salilnS OF
the vessels. The same person says under d
ruling we were allowed to house tooaccos
arriving here lin New York., and some were
brought forward and held for sale; put re-
GENTLY this has been denied. For all these
complaints. however, fail to see any pre-
sent prospect OF relief. Congress Will
hardly do anything this session in that re-
gard.
The action of the Ohio Convention In de-
claring for Ex-Governor Allen as its presl-
dental choice is the source OF great COM
ment in the hotels and public places about
Washington tonight. Numerous private
telecrams received show how thorough the
interest has been in this subject. 1t is not
difficult to find many who are absolutely
confident that the action Of the Convention
to-day makes =-. .@
CERTAIN TIE NOMINATION OF TILDEE
az st. Louis. Had Thurman been the Ohio
fayorite he certainly would have developed
such strength in other States as to make his
nomination by the Democratic Convention a
very probable evett: 1t cannot be so
with Allen. His sterling integrity,
patriotism, and earnest adherence to
| Democratic principles are not taken into
the scale in the consideration Of availability.
No Democrat in the land will deny them;
but regardless Of all this he will not poll
the strength that other Democrats possess
ing the same attributes as himself certainly
will gather. As things now look Tilden
will DO the Democratic candidate. He Is
the strongest man before the party to-day,
because II nominated he will be certain to
carry New York and other eastern States,
while with Allen this is at least problemati-
cal. There is little talk about the Gice-presi-
dency by either party, but it looks as il the
Democrats were giving that part OF the
ticket more thought than their opponents
are. The mention of Governor Walkers
name in the Convention will not be received
with any lack OF favor. New York and
Virginia would grace the ticket beyond
doubt, while Tilden and Walker Is not 4 bad
sounding combination by any means. -.
GOVERNOR KELLOGG,
of Louisiana, must be a man directly after
Senator Morton's own heart. The bloody
shirt business was very much on the decline
until the Governor of the Pelican State
made his entree here, and located within
good easy distance OF the White House.
Since then there have been kilograms with
out stint portraying the great danger OF
the colored population in Mississippi and
Louisiana. The bloodshed and violence
seems to be confined thus far to these States.
There is no necessity for it in South Caro-

in the minority, or in States like Georgia or
Virginia, where they are as clearly in the
ascendant; but Just as sure as the sun sets
every evening will there be from now until
election-day reports following one another
in proper docking at it from Radical
standDointl succession OF the oFerpoWer1ng
tyranny and laWlcssness Of the white peo-
Dle in the South. Morton will gather material
| for a new speech, or rather new points
for his old speech. II fight OF great pro-
portions can only be precipitated Blalne,s
chances at Cincinnati are forever lost; so is
Conkling's, Hayes's, Bristow's, and every
body but Morton's. Nothing would cause
the southern delegations to "flop." They
would stand by their champion from first to
last, and, holding the balance OF power, VIII
succeed in nominating him. 1t Is not
matter to be dreaded, and in saying this l
only refer to Morton's nomination, and not
to a local war between whites and blacks,
which no Democrat, apart from the human
ity that suggests how deplorable such all
event would be, could fail to regard with
great disfayor even OH the score OF party
| welfare.
Though this has been a long and undoubt-
| edly Il laborious
SESSION OF CONGRESS,
IL J. QC5IlIlcu 10 lIduy WINS iohSS',
even though the Senate proceeds no further
in the trial Of Mr.. Belknap. There is very
much to be done, and probably there will
be committee Of conference on the ma
iority OF the appropriation bills. The in
vestigations will 90 on despite the monoto-
ny that is now characterizing each and all
OF them; and this duty will be continued
during the recess II necessary.
| Several internal revenue supervisors are
on the gui riue for other official fields and
pastures. The earnest objection that the
Commissioner makes upon the continuance
of this office is source OF annoyance to the
supervisors, all Of whom no doubt wish
| that ere he communicated Recommendation
Of that sort to Congress he had been at the
bottom OF the deep blue sea. 1t can Justly
be said OF Commissioner Pratt that he is
one of the clearest-headed commissioners OF
internal revenue that has ever made 4 deci-
sion, and vastly superior to the great ma
;ority OF these officers, Notwithstanding the
fact that two OF them-Boutwell and Della
no-were promoted from that Bureau into
the Cabinet. The next important legisla-
ton affecting this Bureau will be its absorb
| ton into the customs bureau Of the IreaSu-
ry. This will come sooner OF later.
