IFrom our Regular CorrespondentJ
WASHINGTON, June 10.-Mr. Csbeil's
speech has been published in the Record,
and In il he tells the Departments some un-
welcome truths and gives the country in
formation which IL needs. He shows how
the predictions OF Messrs. Sherman ana
Raum were falsified in regard TO the reduc-
ton OF the tobacco tax, and quotes from the
reports Of the Treasury Department 10 show
that there was more than four and half
millions OF increase OF revenue on all forms
o. tobacco from May /, 1879, to May !, 1880,
as compared with the previous year.
He pronounced il the best measure
the Democrats have passed since
they came into power in Congress,
because II helped the planters and all en-
gagged in the tobacco trade and the manu-
facturer Of tobacco. He urged Congress to
profit by this experience, and reduce the
fax on whiskey TO so cents and on spirits
distilled from fruits TO % cents per gallon.
He argued that these rates will give the
Government rs much revenue as 1t now re-
ceiyes from whiskey, and three times as
much as il now realizes from fruit brandes.
He commended that this reduction would
make the mountain counties OF Virginia,
North Carolina, &c, prosperous, ana de-
velop all over these States an Industry which
has been welnigh destroyed by the exist
Ing policy OF the Government.
THE LIcORIcE-NEN OF THE NORTH.
The licorice manufacturers OF the North
were at the Capitol to-day in full force, and
seemed TO have gotten wind OF some move
ments TO reduce the tariff duty on this IA
yored article. At present the duty Is S0per
cent. ad ualOrem, and the proposition which
hes alarmed them would tx it at 80 per
cent. The Government now only realizes
$500, 900 revenue.
GEORGIA AND TENNESSEE.
Distinguished Georgians and Tennessee
ans say that while their delegations to Gin
cinna. are composed OF those who have
personal preferences for the presidency,
some preierriug Bayard, others Seymour,
Tndeu, Judge Field. &C., they will go there
uninstructed and un,rammelled, and ready
10 support that candidate whom they ind
can most surely carry New York, Indiana,
New Jersey, and Connecticut. MI. Biount'
OF Georgia, says Seymour and Hendricks
would be the strongest ticket that could be
named.
SEYMOUR BOUND TO WIN IF NOMINATED.
The New York Her0lPS editorial to-day
which singles out Seymour as the available
Democrat to run against Garfield, and lis
telegram from Syracuse, which states that
the leading Democrats there believe he Will
accent. and certainly carry New York, have
been much talked Of tonight. The same
feeling is growing hourly at Washington
among congressman and other prominent
nemoerats. Judge Buckner said tonight,
SEYMOUR has only TO say the word TO carry
the Cincinnati Convention by storm. Sena-
tors Conkling and Hoar have returned from
Chicago. General w. ii. L. Lee said TINS
evening II the Democrats only show WIS.,
dom at Cincinnati they are bound to WIN.
SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT.
Mfr. HAYES has approved the export-to'
bacco hin and the Joint resolution looking
IN NEGOTIATIONS with Italy, France, Austria,
and Spain for the purpose OF getting these
countries 10 abolish their Government to-
bacco-monopoly.
THE DISTRICT POLICE INCREASED.
The Senate to-day passed bill increasing
the police force Of the District OF Columbia
one captain, four sergeants, and fifty pri'
Yates. II repealed the section OF the police
law which requires that policemen shall
have served In the United States army OF
navy. The commissioners wanted this done
because with such a restriction they are un
able 10 secure 6rst-class material.
rug pyprTY xARsHALs' BILL TO BE CONSIDER
Ed TOMORROW.
The House took up the deputy marshals
bill to-day, and there were symptoms o.
flibustering on the Republican side; Du'
Judge Harris, who had charge OF 1t, VIII
his usual good judgement and tact, agreed
that they might have three hours for debate
and the privilege Of amending the Dill
whereupon they agreed to refrain from D'i'
clustering and allow vote on the bill. II
will be taken up tomorrow, and the Dem
ocrats are 10 have an hour il they choose to
Use il. This is the Bayard bill, and has
passed the Senate. The Republicans, had
Grant been nominated, would have shown
more spirited opposition than they did.
WHAT A REPUBLICAN SAYS OF THE TICKET.
A veteran Washington journalist asked
leading Republican friend at the Capitol to-
day to tell him candidly what he thought OF
the Chicago ticket. He replied 81 am
like the fellow who tasted the soup and re-
marked, This Is the d-dest soup / ever
tasted, but / liked it,"
THE ELECTORAL BILL UP IN THE HOUSE.
The Democrats got up the electoral-count
bill IN the House this afternoon, aud from
the first 1t looked as il the Republicans
meant 10 flibuster and prevent its passage.
The Democrats b ave not a quorum by them
selves, and will not have for the remainder
Of the session. The Republicans debated
the bill.
GENERAL oARrTgLD's OPPOSITION TO THE
EIGHr.H0UR Law.
General Gsrfeld's record on the eight
hour law seems TO have been well known
10 the working organizations OF the North,
and already proteste have reached Washing
