WASHINGTON. May Ex-senator Mcpherson. OF
New-Jersey. VIII introduce tomorrow long
memorial from p Lorillard 81 Co., of New
York, on behalf of themselves and the tobacco
trade asking a settlement of the tobacco tax
question i'll Congress- He will also present
a preamble and resolution. The preamble will re-
cite that the agitation in Congress of the question
OF reducing the tax on tobacco has caused stop
page of its manufacture and thrown manv thou
sands of people out of employment that the Gov
ernmont needs the revenue now collected from that
source and that manufacturers of tobacco ought to
be enabled to resume and continue business. The
resolution is follows:
Resolred That in the opinion of this body unwise
and ineXpedent to change the rate or TAX on nanuac
tlred tobacco at this session OF Congress.
Senators Conkling Randolph. Herman, Blaine
Dawes and others favor the resolution, while some
Of the Southern Senators who favor re-
duced tax are willing that the test be made
now, to relieve the tobacco mandatory
hands who are out of employment from their pres
ent and increasing distress. The LOrllard memorial
recites all the arguments against reduction of the
tax, and in favor of immediate settlement of the
question by the Senate. 1t dwols strongly on the
romt that the threatened increase of the
tax benefits only the spectators, while the threat
ened reduction stops the sales of the manufacturers
to iobbers and retailers. and forces the manufac-
turcrs to stOp work and discharge their employees.

SESSION.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIDUSEl
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Thcre is some talk among
the Democrats of adopting the Senate resolution
for the final adjournment of the present session OF
Congress on the 10th of June. 4 majority of
the Democrats are anxious to get to their homes
and make preparations for their Congressional
conventions. Others prefer that Congress shall
adjourn before the Potter Committech as made much
progress in order that it may proceed with its work
with less interference On the other hand, the adj
vocates of certain public measures which have
thus far received no attention from either
House are dcsirous of prolongng the scs-
sion to the 1st of July in order that
votes may be taken on the Texas and
Pacific and similar measures. The Senate has re-
Gently been making very little progress with the
appropriation bills, and the House Committee on
Appropriations itself does not seem TO be in any
haste with its work. One important question that
must certainly be disposed Of during the
present session is the appropriation to pay the
fishery award Of the Halifax Commission. Under
ordinary circumstances, this bill would occupy
month in ctherHouse Of Congress. If II should not
pc passed il would be the duty of the President to
summon Congress TO an extra session between now
and next November If Congress does complete the
necessary work before the ION Of June, II Will he

We have a communication from
Mrs. Francis Langley which conveys
a version of the causes occasioning the
death of her little son, George S. Ra-
venscraft, at variance with the testi-
mony before and the verdict of the
jury of inquest, published last week.
We were present and heard the tes-
timony and deliberations of the jury,
and cannot see how they could have
reached different conclusion. In the
interest of all, therefore, we venture
to advise that public debate of this
painful topic should not be INDUCED.
The following portion Of Mrs. Lang
ley's letter is Cnobjectionable:
He died on the Gath and was buried on
the 9th of October. His remains were
carried to the NJ. E. Church, South, where
q sermon appropriate to the occasion was
delivered by Rev. J. R. Andrew. Thence
he was inferred in the graveyard on the
hill, attended by large number of sorrow
ing relations and friends.

Special Correspondence of the JOURNAL
BALTIMORE, Oct. 80, 1878.

Special Correspondence of the JOURNAL.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 80, 1878.
The oyster-shuckers of the city
seem to imagine them selves very much
agrievei and imposed upon and have
concluded to vary the monotony of
their oppressed lives by striking for
higher wages, or rather, smaller
measures. The packers still remain
stubborn and have been to Annapolis
and engaged the work to be done
there; a committee Of the Baltimore
strikers went down there Yesterday,
however, and compelled them to stop
work. The Annapolis authorities say
that 10 such outrages shall be perpe-
trated there aid that if the shuckers
desire to continue working at the re-
duced wages they shall be protected
by the law. 1t IS rather disagreeable
to the people of the ancient Capital
and they say SO too, for the Baltimore
packers to come there and engage
them for season when they can get
no work done in their own city and
then "when the cruel strike is over"
to throw them out again and leave
them with nothing to do. Still that
is the way of the world; there must
be people whose only mission it is in
this life to exist for the convenience OF
others. What would some of these
great and high-minded people do
where there not plenty of small fry"
on whom to display their great and
wonderful power? If it were not for
these "lesser lights the startling
brilliancy of the "stars" would pass
unseen as long as contrast could not
be noticed. The strikers here are at
present very quiet and orderly, and
have attempted no violence; they are,
however, very determined and if they
obtain knowledge of there being any
shuckers at work at the reduced
wages in any part Of the city, they
appoint committee to go and dis
cover if it is true, If it is they warn
the men to stop work or there may
be trouble, and in every case the re-
suit has been that the packers were
left without one workman, the few
being afraid of the many. The shuck-
ers say that it is not the Baltimore
packers who are unwilling to accept
their terms but the "hard hearted
Yankees who carry on the business
here. The dispute is not yet settled,
but no riot or any trouble of that sort |
is apprehended.

'titute Fair is to be honored by visit |
