THE WORE OF H oRIeLE.
The Waterman of the Oriole saw IL g
ire as it first broke out, and aroused the
tugs crew. The tug hastened to the
burning boat, and making fast a line to
the %stearn, Aoated the Chester out into
the stream. Owing to the heat, the tug
was scorched by the flames Of the burn
ing vessel. During the pulling, which
was q hazardous undertaking, the pas
ssngers and crew began to jump
overheard. This crsated additional
work for the 0riole, which rushed
through the binding smoke and around
the floating palace OF fame and fire.
Despite the confusion, excitement and
binding smoke, the Oriole managed to
rescue eleven persons who we're found
in the river. Some Of the unfortu-
nate persons we're found cling
ing to planks, and some had to
rely on their own efforts to keep above
waves. The condition of these

which its crew deserve credit. Captain

His brother, Captain McNeely,

the efforts Of the 0riole are due the
lives of at least eleven persons. This is
worth mere than words can express, and
40 praise is too great for Captain Ma
McNeely.

The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1878-11-30

The Wing processes to think it inconsist-
ent in us to advocate the repeal OF the tax
on tobacco at the same time that we hold
that the tax is paid by the consumer. We
are not apprehensye that anybody else will
see the Inconsistency. II two and two are
equal to four, then the consumer pays the
tax upon cigars and tobacco. This TACT does
not show that the tax does not bear heavily
and uniustly upon the growers and manu-
facturers Of tobacco. The tax OH whiskey
is all paid by the consumeT-including the
Federal tax, the license tax, and the Moi
fett-regster tax. But this fact does rot
prove that the tax is not a burthenSomc one
to the sellers and distiliers. The tariff on
tobacco sent FROM this country to Eng land is
a very heavy one; but it is all paid by the
English consumer. Nevertheless, it lessons
consumption, and thus Injuries the planter
in this country. The tax on champagne
brought TO the United States is al paid by
the consumer: yet it tends to diminish con-
sumption, and so indirectly Injuries the pro-
Queer. So all the way through the cata-
logue OF taxed articles. The consumer pays
the tax. Yet the lax may in any case, and
does in many, injuriously affect the manu-
facturer, grower, or producer. ,,.s
We trust we shalt be allowed to hold
these views and at the same time advocate
reduction CT the tax on tobacco.at once,
and lis repeal as soon as possible.

We believe that General Johnston Will
please everybody worth pleasing in such q
position, and, most Of all, the officers OF the
old regular army, who want Il man who is
not only perfectly just, but entirely CONVEX
SAINT with their system and in full sympathy
with their true interests. Mr.. Randall-or
whoever is the next SDeaker-should by all
means select General Johnston for the chair
mansbip. The best Secretaries OF War ever
known In this country were John G. CAL
houn and Jefferson Davis. The best chair
man Of the Military Committee viii be Jo-
seph E. ohnston.-Aug1tsta (Ga.) Chroni-
