WASHINGTON, u. G., Dcc. 10.-The Demo-
crats llaye not sufficiently recovered from
their taFiif fright during thu calnpaign to
suggest any Legislation looking to tariff re-
form, and tic probability is that tho Demo
Gratis will rcEl1autsh their control Of Tho
House without having seriously attempted
To accom- plis!l my reform In tho turltf. or
taSntsof, except the uniMportant n,odifca-
lions which haye been suggested by Speaker
talulull's high.taritf Why's and Means Conf
lHIttge. A reycnuc-refurn member Of tho
Committee says TINT there is little prospect
row that the Committee will report any.
thing favorable upon the subject, even after
thu holidays. The proposition fur Tariff

BeloE ne quote from the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle ;
Ia Is a matter Of pride to Rochester, as vel as 10 the nrm
directly interested, that yesterday q cable dispatch was re-
ceived stating that the Preach Government had adopted the
Tobacco and Cigarettes manufactured by Wm- : hImbaH &
Co., q this city. We should explain, perhaps, that all Tobac-
co sold in France up 70 this time has been manufactured BY
the Government. OF late the demand for other makes has
arisen. and the Government, 20 meet II, allowed English and
American Manufacturers 10 enter goods for competitive test
with a view 20 the adoption Of TIE best. The fact that WIN.
:. Kimball & Co. have come out far ahead Of AL other manu-
factGrers in both countries, is unmistakable proof that their
goods are the best the world produces Their Tobacco and
Cigarettes will hencef0rth be on sale in Paris as freely as IN
New York, but no other make, except the French, VIII be
found there. In other words, the French Government, on the
report Of its experts, declare the goods Of Nm. g. kimbal &
Co. the best In the world"

therefore, necessary that the number
Of delegates should be limited.
Believing that every county in the

determined to limit and fix tho rep
resentation on the basis OF tho ap.
por,ionment OF the house of repre-
seotatives Of the Missouri general
assembly. but tn double tho number
Of representatives 40 that each coun
~ may send two delegates for every

be entitled to two delegates to the
convention. and the larger counties
to double the number of their consii.
tutionsl representation in the house
of representatives..
The proceedings OF the convention
will be revised and published by our
socity, and will make g book Of
great value and utility, especially to
those counties which shall send intel
ligsnt, well informed men to present
the special advantages and attrac.
tions Of the sections Of country
they represent. l. is expected that
the delegates from each county wilt
prepare a paper descriptive of the
county they represent. to be read
before the convention. setting forth
facts on which emigrants, foreign
and domestic. desire inform alton.
Should it be impracticable. from
any cause, for any county to send
delegates. We suggest that such a

pared and sen. to us to be read to

in this connection, that the impor-
