ENDORSEMENT OF THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT
1t is matter OF pride to Rochester, N. Y, as
well as to the firm directly interested, that yes
terday cable dispatch was received. stating
tobacco and cigarettes manufactured by VIM. S.
Kfmball Co., of that city. 1t should be eX-
planned, perhaps. that all tobacco sold in France
up to this time has been manufactured by the
government. OF late the demand for other
makes has arisen, and the government. to meet
1t. allowed English and American manufactur-
ers to enter goods for competitive test with a
view to the adoption of the best. The fact that
VIM. S. kimball & Co. have come out far ahead
of all other manufacturers in both countries is
unmiStakable proof that their goods are the best
the world produces. Their tobacco and cigar
cites will henceforth be on sale in Paris as freely
as in New York, but no other make, except the
French, will be found there. In other words
the French government, on the report of its eN-
perts. declares the Vanity Fair tobacco and
cigarettes Of VIM. S. Kimball g. Co. the best in

'CIUBBING'' CoLoRED s'DEBT PAYERn-On
Saturday night last a large party Of disguised
negroes made a cOWardly attack upon the house
of colored man named William Taylor, in the
lower part of this county, with the avowed pur-
pose OF clubbing" 7. j. Comodore, colored
school teacher, who boards with Taylor, and
who had canvassed this district in the interest
of the debt payers. 1t seems that Taylor and
Commodore are both men of nerve and resolution,
and, fortunately having musket in the house,
they succeeded in keeping the party at bay by
firing into them. Being thwarted In their en-
deayor to get GOmOdore into their possession
these violent men then vented their rage by
tearing down the fences and destroying the
standing crop OF corn as far as in their power
lay. Comodore is a quiet and well-behaved
CITIZEN and man of considerable intelligence.
He is, and has always been, pronounced re-
publican; but he has incurred the diSpleaSure Of
the ignorant and misguided blacks in his COM
munity by the courageous fight which he made
against the readuSterS in the late election
