Excitement Among the Tobacconists.

Rumor was rife or the streets to-day that
the United States Internal Revenue De-
partment at Washington, of which Capt. j.
II. Rivers is collector in this city, had made
an erroneous assessment against the tobacco
manufacturers of Lynchburg, and others Of
t his district for the year Of 1874. Reports
seem conflicting. some parties saying the to-
bacconists would lose five hundred thousand
dollars; others conlen;ling that it would not
amount to more than one hundred thousand
We called upon several OF the manufacturers
this evening and Cleaned the following facts:
1t seems that every manufacturer is requir-
ed to return the amount of leaf tobacco pur-
chased at the warehouse to the revenue office
in this city every thirty days, the Govern
ment 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 cover
it, and the commissioner claims that oalv
five per cent. should have been allowed for
waste.
Like a clap OF thunder in Il cloudless sky,
the intelligence was communicated yester-
day to the manufacturers that they had not
produce enough manufactured tobacco from
the leaf bought, and hence there was def
cheney which must be paid by the Goth inst.
This deficiency falls upon every manufac-
turer according to the extent Of his business.
The manufacturers are greatly excited about
the matter, and it is thought Il meeting of
the Tobacco Association will be called in 4;
few days to take steps in the premises, and
If necessary appoint committee to confer
with the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
at Washington. 1t is reported that the same
state OF affairs exist in the Danyillc district
