the TACT that il was engraited on an appro'

that the deputy marshals shall he appointed

and Of good moral character. The intro
duciIon Of the bill in the Senate instead of
the House will prevent any delay in the

INTERESTING FACTS AND STATISTICS ABOUT
TOBACCO.
Mr.. Mckenzie, Of Kentucky. VINO repre-
SCENTS the largest tobacco-g growing district in
the United States, in his excellent speech on
tobacco. stated that :he planters OF the
United States get 100000 for their leaf
tobacco. which is an average of about seven
cents per pound. rs their crop amounts TO
5O0.0o0,OOO pounds annually. The United
States taxes this crop every year S41 900, 900 !;
England. $35. O00, coo; France, $4,000, 900 !;
Italy. So, 900 600; Austria, $4,000, 900;
and Spain, $40 ,O00,00C-making an az
gregote Of Sl63, 00o, 900. England has an
open tobacco market, but all OF The other
other European nations mentioned make
a Government monopoly Of tobacco. Du-
ring the month Of March the tax derived
by our Government from all kinds Of to-
baccO, cigars. cigarettes, end snuff amount
ed to S3,234,009 IS against S2,29l,429 for
March, 1879. When the bill for the reduc-
ton OF the tobacc0-tax was up the Depart
ment contended that there would be great
decrease, if il passed. on snuff and chew
ing and smokinS-tobaccO, whereas snuff
has doubled itself, and the tax on chewing
and smoking.tobacco increased in a single
month S644000 over what it was when the
tax was q cents.
STEPS LOOKING TO A PROTECTORATE IN CEN
TRIAL AMERICA.
The Naval Committee Of the House in
siruc;ed Mr.. Goode to-day to report favOra-
bly, the joint resolution authorizing and in
structing the Secretary OF the Navy to take
necessary steps to secure adequate coaling
stations and harbors for the Use OF the naval
forces OF the United States at proper points
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts OF Central
America and Of the American isthmus. The
preamble sets forth that in the event OF the
construction OF the interOceanic ship-canal
the governments through whose territory it
will pass will he unable 20 afford due pro-
lection 10 foreigners and foreign inte-
rests, because experience has shown
that they are unable 10 defend their
own soil from individual domestic
or foreign aggressions. 1t further sets
forth that it is the policy and purpose OF
our Government, as declared in the recent
message OF Mr.. Hayes, to exercise a single
and undivided protectOrate and supervision
over any such ocean waterway or ship
canal and the Territories through which it
may be constructed ia the equal interest of
the innocent commerce OF mankind.
IL General King could have gotten the
floor to-day, as he expected, to offer his
Monroe-doctrine and interOceanic-canal re-
solutions, Mr.. Goode would have offered,
by direction OF the Naval Committee, this
joint resolution and preamble as an addi-
tional section. The House, however. pre-
ferred to take up the post-ollice appropria-
ton bill.
AGAINST THE EXTENSION OF PATENTS.
The Senate Patent Committee has heard
a good many arguments in favor OF the eX.
tension Of patents; but my impression is
that when it makes its report, very soon, it
will be found that il will only favor extern
sion in some unimportant cases. Members
OF the committee think that twenty-oDe
years is long enough for a lucrative patent
TO run, for in that time the inventor or
owner is able 10 make vast amount OF
money, and OF .. not to ask the Govern |
ment to grant him further exclusive right
10 it.
THE INTER0CEANIC CANAL.
The State Of Oregon has sent to Congress
eighty petitions in favor Of the early consiruc-
ton OF the iDteroceanic canal. The House
special committee has exhibited good deal
OF zeal in regard TO this important project,
but the Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
Ialions, to which II was also referred, has
not yet made much Roadway in regard TO
Z, and am certain will not during the pre-
Y mt session.
THE INDIAN QUESTION IN THE HOUSE.
Mr.. Haskell, Of Kansas, says be does not
blink the House viii vote for the transfer
u the Indian Bureau from the Interior to
he Mar Department, but that 1t will pass ,,
he Ute treaty with uDimportaBt modifca- I
% os. he says the Indian question is very
tile understood at Washington, and the q
hole trouble with the Indians Il that 9
nougb money is not given the Department q
carry out the stlpUlstions We make with y
ZEN. All you have TO do, even with the o
'orst Indian tribes, be says, is to give them u
hat you promise. and they Will remain
esceable. He thinks that even the wild 9,
'dians have greatly improved in the last o.
% years. and believes they can be made to
'ttlc 90 lands and improve them. "
