British treaty rights should not be
interfered with. The government,
he said, was sensible of the fact that
incidents might arise on which it
would be their duty to ask for frank
explanations, but as the government
had not opposed the past action of
France in Tunis, he could not see
the advantage of getting into petty
sqaabble on that action, unless it

Miscellaneous News from the Ma

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The re-
port Of J. r Dodge, special agent
for the collection of statistics of
agriculture, showing the tobacco
products Of the United States for the
census years 1880 and 1870, was
issued from the census Office to-day.
Comparative statements presented III
the report show apparent increase III
the production, of so per cent. dur
lng the decade, the products in 1880
being placed at Alb, 107,573 pounds,
and that of 1870 at Z62,735, ,34l
pounds. This apparent increase,
Dodge says, eXaggerates the real
advance in tobacco cultivation, as
the preceding census crop was small
one, and a fear of taxation may have
operated to prevent full census OF
tobacco in 1870. The crop reported in
1880 was one of medium production,
not IN excess of the present require
ments of home consumption and ex~
now, as in 1870, more than 80 per
cent. of the tobacco of the Tn ted
States, though it is reported in TWEEN
ty-two other States and SIX Terri
tories. OF these fifteen only,
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and
Massachusetts produce less than in
1870. kentucky occupies the first
position, producing 36 per cent. Of
the total crop of the country. Vir-
glnia holds the second place. Penn
sylvania has advanced from the
twelfth to the third place, Wisconsin
from the fifteenth to the tenth and
North Carolina, Connecticut and
New York have each gained one
point in rank Of tobacco States.
Those that have refrigerated in the
relative production are Mtssachu
chusetts, Maryland, West Visginia,
Ind ana, Illinois, Missouri and Ten
nessee. The average yield per acre
IS shown to be 73l rounds,
varying from 1888 pounds in
Massachusetts, to All por ads in
North Carolina. This reduction in
the rate of yield, the report states. is
due in the differing degree the use
or neglect of fertilizers, the habit Of
growth of the different varieties and
the vicissitudes of the seasons. The
following table shows, in round mum
bers, the total product in 1880 in

TRIED FOR DUEL MURDER.
A South Carolina Jury Acquit E.
B. Cash of the Charge
of Murder.

CHARLESTON, S. c., June 22.--A
special from Dodington says: The
trial of E. B. Cash, who killed VIM.
Shannon in a duel, was begun here
TO-DAY. The evidence for the State
was the same as Oh. he previo Is tria'.
The defense put forward Colonel
Shannon's second, who testified that
there had been no effort at COM
promise on his part. G lionel Cash
was placed on the stand and said
that he had wanted to fight Shannon
to get revii 1ge for an insult to his
wife. Solicitor Doyon spoke for
the State. Judge Cotteran then
charged the jury that the
crime of which the prisoner
stood accused was murder, the
essence of which is malice The
killing was admitted, and the jury
must decide if there was a formal
design to take The lie of the deceas-
ed It has been argued that because
the law has been allowed to sleep, it
has no force. This is not so. The
law has never been abrogated. 1t is
alleged that this deed was fair, but
self-defense is no plea where one has
purpose. The offense cannot be
condoned because Shannon partici-
pated in it. X ling in a duel is
murder, and the penalty is death.
After reading the testimony and
again charging the jury as to their
duty in the case, the Judge closed,
and the jury withdrew. At late
hour the jury returned verdict of
not guilty.

The members and trustees of the Second
Presbyterian Church are making prepare
tions for an addition to their church build
ing. 1t is expected to extend the church
IN the rear a distance of eighteen

yard.
The work of exhuning the bones was &C
complished yesterday by workmen, under
the direction of Mr.. John LAWN, sexton OF
Gray Cemetery, and they were reinterred
in vacant spots near the fence, west of the
building
Two of the graves, from which the bones
were taken, were side by side. just at
northeast corner, and appear to have been
students at the University of Tennessee, as
it is now. One head-stone bore the inscrip-
ton of Jno, j. Thompson, Tuscaloosa, Ala,

and the graves filed up again.
