Mr.. CARLIsLE's TOBACCO REPoRT--sENAToR
HEREFORD's SPEECH; THE RACE QUESTION
BEN. BUTLER FOR FIELD-PERsoNAL.
from our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. May IA gentleman well
known in Virginia, and who is for Judge
Field for President. has been TO New York
recently. lie informs me that he had talk
with leading delegate from that State to
Cincinnati, who Of course is for Tilden,
and that the impression made on him was
that Mr.. Tlden will not be candidate be-
fore the National Convention. Other lead
ing Tilden men seemed, he said, in the
dark as to what is TO &c the Tilden pro-
gramme. lily own opinion is that the old
man does not conlide his secrets to many OF
his followers, and that only those admitted
to his thirty-third degree lodge know
exactly what he means TO do. Whoever
NAV be the candidate will, however, need
his influence, judgment, and wonder
full energy to help carry him through.
Next to being elected himself Samuel
]. Tilden desires above all things the sue
cess Of the Democratic party, because that
will be vindication OF him and condem-
nation by the American people OF the great
presidential fraud Of 1876. All OF the Til
den men here seem to have reversionary
candidate, who is to play Elisha to Tilden's
Elijah, but the trouble is there are too many
Elishas, and would not like to undertake
TO enumerate them for fear OF emitting
some. 1t is singular, il it be true, as al
legged, that Mr.. Tilden has no supporter in
all the Senate, and only as many advocates
in the House as you could count in few
seconds.
THE EXPORT TOBACCO BILL-MR. CARLISLE
REPORT.
As l informed you, the export tobacco
bill, in which Virginia is so much interest
ed, is on the House calendar, and has been
partially considered in the Senate Finance
Committee. Mr.. Carlisle, in his report,
says that under the present arrangements
the average annual expectation OF raw leaf
tobacco is about 3O0,O0O,0OO pounds, while
the expectation Of the manufactured article
is less than 100000 pounds, or less than .
per cent. Of the raw leaf The tendency OF
the existing law and regulations Is to er-
courage manufacturers to establish their
factories in Canada and elsewhere beyond
our borders and export the raw leaf TO be
worked up by foreign labor. AT least one
large establishment formerly engaged here
in the manufacture and expectation OF to-
bacco has recently removed to Sydney, in
Australia, and now exports only the raw
leaf to the amount Of about 100000
pounds annually.
THE GREATEST EVIL TO EXPORTERS.
"But," says he, "the greatest evil com
planned Of, and the one which most dis
courages the expectation Of these articles
is the difficulty and delay experienced in
procuring the form and character OF evi
dence required by the law and regulations
10 authorize the cancellation OF the bond
The result OF this is that bonds accumu
late in the hands Of the revenue authori
ties against the exporters and their sure
Ties until the amount OF their penalte:
becomes so large as to make it exceedingly
difficult in some cases for the party who
desires 10 make q new shipment TO 6n(
, persons willing to unite with him in th'
/ necessary Obligation"
Mr.. Carlisle informed me tonight that III
will call up this bill as soon as lie can &c
the Appropriations Committee to give wa!
= for the purpose.
/; SENATOR HEREFoRD's SPEECH on SOCIAL
r EQUALITY.
Last night I sent you short paragraph IL
/, regard to Senator Hereford's speech deliv
cred yesterday on Mr.. AIison's amendmen
/ directing the President to appoint two ne
: gro cadets to West Point. Its appearance
this morning attracted a great deal OF atten
ton and comment, Democrats declaring
II one OF the best bits OF the ses
: sion. He said that the young men from
, New England at West Point, the sons o
1 Republicans and appointed by Republicans
refuse to associate with negro cadets, and L
so doing but speak the sentiments OF tn
narents who reared them. A senator ha
, said during the debate that he wanted
! afford companonship for young Whitaker
but you cannot force social equality, and
is nonsense to attempt it; for senator's then
! selves do not practise it. "There Is not
Republican SENATOR" said Senator Hereford
L .swho would permit his daughter to MARI
a colored man, and his reason is the same
that which actuates the white cadet frol
/ Massachusetts in refusing to assoclal
: with colored cadets. II senators wal
\ social equality at West Point let thel
| practice it themselves in their own famllle
h and push it to its logical result" lie VIZ
, for giving negroes all their rights, but socl'
!. eouality was another thing; "and you ca
no more bring it about by legislation tina
G YOU can change the spots OF the leopard
S The prejudices are implanted in US" sal
L he. sIby the Creator Of the universe, an
they cannot be eradicated by enactments'
o Senator Hereford contended that neithe

I, Point General Schofeld) are responsib
for the conduct OF the white cadets In raj
:. ing TO associate with negroes.
J. FOR THE ABOLITION OF THE INTERNAL-REvl
b NUE. SYSTEM.
!. C. C. Peters and ninety.eight others
i Virginia have petitioned Congress to abo
ish the internaI-revenue system. They als
want an unlimited coinage OF gold ana 81

TO equal the demand. They further a.
that the public debt be paid according
contract, and that no more bonds be issuc'
