THE PoINDEyTER, CAsE.-The following
is from the Fredericksburg Ncrs:
4 Card.-Upon my return TO Frcdercks-
burg last night learned, greatly to my sur
prise. that statement had been circulated
in lowe TO the effect that ] had, prior to
going to Richmond rs Juror in the
poindeXter case, expressed an opinlon
adverse TO Mr. PoindeXter. The statement
is wholly incorrect and without any loun-
daiu3.
a. | bad read but 4 very small portion Of the
evidence on the former trial, aud read it in
great haste. 1 had gone to school with Mr.
PoindcXtpr, and as schoo!-boys we had been
quite Intimate.
At school I admired both his character
and department, hence Would not have
been disposed to entertain any harsh Iud@-
ment OF his conduct, and never expressed
anv opinion Of it prior to this last trial.
Wha. | had read was wholly insufficient
to base any opinion upon, and hence great
Injustice has been done me in the statement
above referred to, whlc! in my absence OBJ
tanned circulation in town.

THE ToBACCo-TAX REDUCTIoN-PGos-
PzCrs OF THE TRADE.-To-morrow ow, the 1st
day OF May, the law reducing the fax on
manufactured tobacco from "a 10 1G cents
per pound will go into operation. This
change was achieved after great loss
and trouble to the trade. and it is now
hoped that the good results OF it will be
seen, and that our manufacturers will not
only be able to repair damages, but make
permanent advances.
Collector Russell has orders on hand al
ready which justify the belief that by II
O'Clock Tomorrow he will dispose Of $780,
900 worth OF stamps. New stamps have
not yet been prepared. The 24.cent stamps
were recently sent from the Richmond office
to Washington, and by the authorities at
the latter place the words " issued under act
March. 1879: tax. 16 cents per pound"
printed upon their face. So they viii! do as
we'll as new stamps, and will, of course, be
sold at the reduced price.
Heretofore the law required cigarettes to
he stamped on the boxes; each box contain
ing 500. The tax on cigarettes remains un-
changed ($l.75 per N.Y., but the stamps
hereafter will be put upon bundles OF 10,
TO- 50, or 100.
A representative OF this paper yesterday
q
prominently engaged in the tobacco trade.
The general feeling was hopeful, but they
do not expect to cover the space from mac
tvity to complete prosperity by single
step. The manufacturcrss have cons'dera-
