The Louisiana Commission and
How its Expenses were Paid-A
Discovery by Mr. Glover.

Washington Correspondence N. " Herald.
WASHINGTON, June u, lS7S.-
Mr.. Glover, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Expenditures in the
Treasury Department, has discOv-
cred that the money to defray the
expenses of the special commission
which went to Louisiana to settle
the dispute between the Nichols
and Packard Governments was bor-
rOwed from the First National
Bank of New York. Mr.. Glover
has gotten hold of the document re-
lating to this transaction. In the
first place there is letter from the
late Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury, Mr.. COnant, requesting the
bank to advance the loan and prom
ising to repay it out of a deficiency
to be obtained from Congress. Mr..
Conant asks the use of the money
for the public good. He says in his
letter that the purpose is to settle
the trouble i'm Louisiana, harmonic
matters, restore peace and put an
end to sectional feeling. For these
purposes he asked a loan of $1,000.
The money was advanced and
placed to the credit of Mr.. Powers,
an emplOye of the Treasury Depart
ment, who was detailed as disburs-
ing officer for the commission.
Powers accompanied the commits
sion to New Orleans and paid all its
bills, drawing drafts on the First
National Bank of New York, which
were cashed by the Sub-Treasury in
New Orleans. At Secretary Sher-
mans request a stenographer was
detailed from the Interior Depart
ment by Assistant Secretary Bell to
go with the commission, and mes
sengers and clerks were furnished
from the Treasury Department
These men have all testified before
the Glover committee that they
drew their regular pay from the
Government while they served the
commission, and that their expenses
were paid out of the 50, 1000. A de-
tailed account of the expenses of the
commission is among the docu-
ments. 1t shows that the hotel bill
of the party amounted to nearly
$1,000, and that 81 600 was set apart
as compensation for the COmmis-
sioners. The expenses of the Com
missioners to and from Washington
and while in this city also were paid.
An attempt was made to get def

refused to allow it, and then it is

WHOLE NO. 2, ,243.

YESTERDAY morning a col0red
woman named CARMEL went to the
Postoffice and asked for a letter
which she knew was in the general
delivery for her, containing money.
She was gruffiy put off by the man
in charge of this department, who
refused to look over the letters, tell
ing her there was nothing for her.
She was asked how much money
she expected, and when she informed
the clerk, who thinks he is undoubt-
edly ga bigger man than Grant"
that 81 was the amount, he grabbed
the letters, and, sure enough, there
were three letters for her, one of
which had been lying in the Office
for nearly a week. This one the
clerk rudely tore open, and, taking
the contents out, counted the money
and threw it to the woman. Now,
the aggravating part of this affair is
simply this: The woman referred to
is poor negro washerwoman, and
over a week ago she wrote to niece
in Venice requesting the loan of
this money. She went to the Office
regularly every day last week, and
was as regularly put off with the !
answer, Nothing here" without |
even look to see. The woman |
naturally became anxious in regard |
to her money, and on Saturday she I
walked all the way to Venice, a |
distance of nine miles, and there /
ascertained from her niece that the
money had been sent the early part /
of the week. She Immediately |
"hoofed" it back, walking eighteen
miles, and reached Hamilton too
late to visit the POstoffice, and ON
morning she again came
up town, asked for her letter, with
the same result. This is not the
first time complaints have come
from this quarter, and 1t Is about
time citizens, be they white or
black, were being treated with at
least common politeness and a little
accommodation by the men whom
they, as part of the United States
are feeding and cloth

THE PRACTICE OF SMOKING.
In Spain, France, and Germany,
in Holland, Sweden, Denmark, and
Russia, the practice of smoking to-
baccO prevails among the rich and
poor, the learned and the gay. In
this country smoking is often carried
to an injurious excess. If we pass
to the East, we find the practice al
most universal. In Turkey the
pipe is perpetually in the mouth,
and the most solemn conferences
are generally concluded with a
friendly pipe, employed like the
calumet of peace among the Indi-
ans. In the East Indies not merely
all classes, but both sexes inhale the
fragrant steam the only distinction
among them consisting in the shape
of the instrument employed and the
species of the herb smoked. In
China the habit equally prevails
and a modern traveller in that
country Borrow states that every
Chinese female, from the age of 8 or
8 years, wears as an appendage to
her dress a small silken purse or
pocket to hold tobacco and a pipe
with the use of which many of them
are not unacquainted at this tender
age. This prevalence of the prac-
tice at an early period among the
Chinese is appealed to by Mr.. Pallos
as an evidence that Sin Asia, and
especially in China, the use of to-
bacco for smoking is more ancient
than the discovery of the New
World" He adds: "AmOng the
Mongol tribes who had the most in
tercOurse with them, the custom of
is so general, so frequent,
and has become so indispensable a
luXury-the tobacco purse affixed
to their belt so necessary as an ar
ticle of dress-the form of the pipes,
from which the Dutch seem to have
taken the model of theirs, so Origi-
nal-and lastly, the preparation of
the yellow leaves, which are merely
rubbed to pieces and then put into
the pipe, so peculiar, that they
could not possibly derive all this
from America by way Of Europe,
as India, where the prac-
tice of smoking is not so general,
intervenes between Persia and
China" This however, is a very
doubtful proposition. 1t seems
sufficiently established that the to-
bacco plant was first brought from
Central America, and it is most
probable tAat it was thence carried
to Siam, China, and other eastern
The names given to it
in all the languages Of the East
are obviously of European, or
rather American, origin, a fact
which seems completelyt to negative
the idea that of its being indigenous
to the East.

Not foreseeing that it could be

by their defendants, the austere
founders of Connecticut adopted the
following stringent regulations for
the use Of tobacco:
"No person under twenty years
of age, or any other person who has
not already accustomed himself to
the use of 1t, shall take any tobacco
until he has obtained a certificate
from under the hand of an APP
proved physician that it is useful to
him, and until he has also obtained
q license from the court. All others
who have addicted themselves to
the use of it are prohibited from
taking it in any company, or at

more than once a day, upon pain of
a fine of six-pence for every such
