RIVER AND HARBOR IMPRovEMENT-wHY THE
WHOLE AMOUNT APPROPRIATED BY CON-
GREss WAS NOT EXPENDED.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January 12.-The
President to-day sent message to the
House Of Representatives in reply to reso-
luton respecting the expenditures of GER
tain moneys appropriated last session in the
river and harbor bill, and enclosing q report
from the Secretary Of War on the subject.
The Secretary says the act was signed on
the 14th of August, and OH the same day
| the President sent special message to the
House stating that he did not con-
slider it obligatory upon him to ex-
pend all the money appropriated in
the bill; that during his term OF office no
money should be expended on work not
clearly national, and that owing to con.
templated loss of revenue it might be inad-
visable to expend any money upon new
works. The principles enunciated in this
message have governed the Seeretary's ac-
ton on this subject in every case presented
to him. Immediately after receiving the
bill the Chief Engineer was directed to ask
| for statements from the engineers in charge
! OF the works as to what works could be
postponed for the present, and the replies
| from them recommended the expenditure
Of about $4,500,000 Of the appropriation.
This reduction was so slight as practically
to amount to nothing, and therefore, on
the 4th of September, having obtained
the approval of the President, the
Secretary directed the Chief of Engineers,
whose knowledge Of this subject is more
extended than that Of any other officer OF
the Government, to make statements from
the sums appropriated for the various
works, according to the best OF his iudg-
ment, and in such manner that the total
amount should not exceed two million oil
| dollars; only providing that no new works
should be begun, and none continued that
were not national in their character. In
making these allotments it was found that
the amount designated $4,000, ,000) was not
quite sufficient Tor the purpose of carrying
on the works absolutely necessary, and
therefore the Chief of Engineers, after an
extended interyieWwith the President, was
amount to SO, ,237, 800. Since ethat date few
cases where small sums were urgently re-
quired to prevent damage or to make i'm
portant examinations have been favorably
acted upon, and possibly there may be more
Of them. The Secretary suggests that the
President had authority for his action under
the law, and the authority found IN the
river and harbor bill itself. The bill was In
no way mandatory on the President to ex-
pend the full amount Of the appropriation
nearly five millions. The exercise Of his
discretion was Influenced by the condition
Of the Treasury and the nature OF the ap-
preparations for other public works OF quite
as much importance as the river and harbor
improvements.

EXCITEMENT AMONG THE ToBACCoNIsTS.
Rumor was rife ON the streets to-day
that the United States Internal Revenue
Department at Washington, of which Cap
tain j. Fl. Riyes is collector in this
city, had made an erroneous assessment
against the tobacco manufacturers Of
Lynchburg and others Of this district
for the year 1874. Reports seem conflict
ing, some parties saying the tobacconists
would lose over 100000, others contend
ing that it would not amount to more than
100000. We called upon several OF the
manufacturers this evening, and Cleaned
the following facts:
1t seems that every manufacturer is re-
quired to return the amount Of leaf tobacco
purchased ut the warehouse to the revenue
officer in this city every thirty days, the
Government allowing the manufacturer ten
per cent for loss In removing it, etc. 1t Is
said the manufacturers paid the requisite
tax, less ten per cent. for loss, which Will
barely coyerit, and the commissioner claims
that only i've per cent. should have been
allowed for waste.
Like clap OF thunder in cloudless sky,
the intelligence was communicated yester-
day to the manufacturers that they had not
produced enough manufactured tobacco
from the Leaf bought, and hence there was a
deficiency, which must be paid by the Goth
instant. This deficiency falls upon every
manufacturer according to the extent OF his
business. The manufacturers are greatly,
exercised aboutthe matter, and it Is thought
a meeting Of the Tobacco Assoe oeiation will
be called In few days to take steps In the
premises, and, II necessary, to appoint a
committee to confer Rith the Commissioner

LEGISLATIVE LABoRs.-The House Com

About the same thing has been done nearly
every year since the war. Meanwhile the
walks remain in miserable condition,
though they might easily be improved by
convict labor.
The guard at the penitentiary petitioned
to the Legislature few days ago for an in

committee Saturday allowing each guard, in
addition to his regular pay, which is only S45

Discharged. d.-There were fifty stone-cut-
ters discharged at the Old Dominion Granite
Works on Thursday, and on Saturday there
were about the same number put off. This
discharge was made under the recent order
that as soon as man finished his stone he
was to be discharged.
From what we can learn there is some
difficulty between the contractors and the
Government agents IN regard to the reduc-
ton Of the cutters pay. Mr.. Bardsley, the
president of the company, will be here to-
day, when it is to be hoped the difficulty
will be settled and the men set to work
again.

DUELs IN MAssACHUsETTs.-The Boston

entirely unheard-of thing. In fact, the first
affair Of honor, in American annals is one
that took place in 1921 at Plymouth be-
tween two serving-men, who were therefor
sentenced by the stern and prompt moral
lists OF our ancient hierarchy to be tied neck
and heels together for twenty-four hours.
The next famous duel, too, chrontcled In
America was that on Boston Common-un-
der the late lamented big elm-in 172S,
when young Woodbridge killed young
Phillips with his sword, to the great and
painful scandal and excitement of the COM
