THE TOBACCO MARKET.
SEED LEAF AND HAVANA.

For the Week Ending Saturday, April 1,
10 A. N.
United States Tobacco journal.
Though there was much improved m
quiry for suitable stock during the
week, business is still tagging. Manufae
turers are in mess Of trouble. The tax
question is still in Q state of uncertainty !;
the system of tenement hOusecigar man
fact,lre will probably be stopped by law
imported tobacco may be allowed to come
in free of duty, and the South ID just now
a very poor field for enterprises of any
kind. Consequently, the manufacturing
of cigars is being carried on in An Osten-
tatious way. All these drawbacks did mot
exist last year, and nevertheless. manufac-
turers remainad without much business
till the middle of April. The consumption
of cigars certainly has not decreased, and
We venture to say that without the just
named causes business would be quite
brisk. The quietness has now lasted
nearly three months. Jobbers certainly
must have a greatly reduced stock on
hand, and orders will and must come in
very shortly. The settlement of the tax
and other disturbing questions is quite
near, so that We may look forward to a
speedy revival Of the cigar business. The
natural consequence will he a stimulated
market and goods of all kinds will move
freely. Though we advise holders of old and
fine goods not to be too stiff in their prices
and sell at reasonable offers, holders of
new and fine goods may rost assured that
an open and profitable market is in store
for them.
The stock of old leaf in our market is
gradually decreasing. Pennsylvania, at
from IL to 10 cents, sells easily, while the
figures asked for fine running, ~ to "a
cents, are frightening prospective buyers
and cause them to purchase in very limited
quantities only. Connecticut moves also
in small parcels only, and at no higher nor
lower figures than those that ruled last
fall. Several attempts lave again been
made during the past two weeks to excite
the market on New York state tobaccos,
but owing to the clumsiness and the
asinine behavior of the instigator, the at
tempts proved a ridiculous failure. Ohio
is much in demand by manufacturers OF
cheap cigars, and sales arc effected with
case. There is very little Wisconsin in
the market, and offerings meet with eager
takers. The sales of the week were al

The CHARTER AMENDMENT IN a NUT.
SHELBY reason of well-known cor.
ruption in elections, the Legislature was
asked to pass an act abolishing the pay
ment of ALL TAXES as prerequisites OF
franchise, that you be allowed to vote
whether your taxes are paid OF not. Its
passage was petitioned by hundreds OF
our citizens. 1t passed the House with
out opposition, but an amendment was
tackled to it in the Senate, that the head
tax must be paid before you can vote
opening greater occasion of fraud than
the way it was, for with head tax ten
voters can be bought for SO where in
the payment of all taxes, perhaps it
would not have bought one. Vote
AGAINST the charter amendment, and
you can petition the next Legislature for
the passage of your bill if you vote for
the amendment, you substitute greater
evil than the one you now have.

Kind Words from the South.

Judge Jefferds, a prominent Ro-
publican Of Mississippi, has been in
tervicwed in the Mayersville Miss
Spectator on the Presidents recent
proclamation relative to the improve
ment of that river. The Judge was
asked: What do you think Of Pres
ident Arthur's message on the levee
question !
He replied: President Arthur's
special message recently transmitted
to Congresses in relation to the leyees
is a most agreeable surprise to the
people of the Mississippi Valley.
Following so soon after his veto of
the anti-Chinese bill, it has com
pletely turned the tide in his favor,
and, il we regard it as a political
maneuyer, it has scarcely ever been
equaled, and never excelled. 1t
marks Enthusiastically the political
tactician. In the veto of the Chi
nese bill he was clearly in the right
and his action upon this measure
will be approved by the public sen
timent OF the Nation when the clam
or raised over it for political effect
subsidies, as it will very soon. The
message on the levees is timely,
wise, and patriotic, and stamps the
President as a statesman,
The day on which the National
Government commits itself to the
erection and maintenance ola gener-
al system of leyees for the Missis-
sippi, it's tributaries and outlets, will
mark the commencement OF the
grandest era of progress and devel-
Opment in our national annals; and
upon this the brightest page of this
the most brilliant epoch OF his coun-
tpy's history will be written in unfad-
ing characters the name of its chief
abettor, Chester A. Arthur. This
will be his snrest passport to fame
and Immortality. | would sooner
take chances on that than on the
much coveted third term In the Pres
idential Office.
The office seekers complain that
President Arthur is too slow-~hOw
about that?
If we turn back in our memories a
few months, and reflect upon the
difficulties that beset the path of the
President, and the embarrassment
which surrounded and threatened at
the very threshold of his official ca
reer, and note with what a gentle
and yet steady hand he grasped the
helm of the Ship of State, so quietly
directing her course as to avoid the
Scylla Of our foreign relations, SO
threatening ON one side, and to
shun the Charybdis of domestic dis.
cord and party dissension on the
ether hand, he not only excitss our
admiration for mastery fnesss as %
politician, but he establishes his IT,
tie to be classed with the wisest rul-
srs that have ever occupied the

Saved from a Wreck.

The rescue of the passengers of
the iron steamship Pliny, wrecked
Friday morning on Deal Beech, near
Long Branch, N. j., was a remark
able evidence of the efficiency of the
Life Saving Service. The signals
of distress were seen about half an
hour after the vessel struck. Capt
Green, of Station 5, saw the vessel
at 4 o'clock. The apparatus from
Station 6 was hurried to the scene.
of the disaster, and at the first dis.
charge of the morter the line was
laid across the vessel. The passen-
gers, consisting of women, Ii men,
and 10 children, were safely landed
in the breeches buoy, clad only in
their night clothes. The lifeline
was 800 feet long, and led to the
bluff. A woman was the first to en-
ter the buoy, and when it had been
drawn back empty from the bluff a
baby was wrapped up and laid into
the rude basket. Seven of the ten
children on board belonged to Mrs.
James Smidt. whose youngest child
it was that was safely transported
on the second trip of the bouy. 1t
was seen to cry Justify on its trip,
but no sound from its little mouth
could be heard in the roar of the
surf. Two of the other three chill
children belonged to Mrs. Anthony
Eaten, and the third was that of
Mrs. Frederick Nagal. When these
three women and their children had
all been safely landed, Mrs. Sara
GirdlestOne was sent ashore. Joseph
Birnoli, the stewart of the late Ad-
miral Spot, was passenger on the
Pliny. He thus describes the scene
on board when the steamer struck
the beech: "There was the great
est confusion in the steerage, the
lights had all been put out, and every
thing was upside down. Men were
shouting, and women and children
wore screaming and crying. Water
was pouring down the hatchways
and sweeping down over the floors.

waves smashed all three of them to

The waves broke over MS SO frequent

do anything. While we were busy
we saw man on the shore waving
his hat. We answered him, but kept
on at the boats, and when we got
one down we found a plank had
started. When the line was fred
across the vessel we tied it to the
fore mast and sent the women and
children ashore one after another.

Business on the Chesapeake & Ohio
Canal, which is just across the river
from us, has been very dull this sea-
son. The slack of business on the ca
nal is attributed to the strike in the
mining regions, but we have been in
this neighborhood long enough to see
that the life of the old Chesapeake &
Ohio is slowly ebbing away, and that
its days are numbered. Ere this, 9TH
er seasons, the voice of the boatmen,
the sound of the hammer, and the
shrill whistle of the steamer, could be
heard /; but so far, we have not heard
either. We would be very much
gratified to see business revive along
the line of this noble old enterprise,
which is the greatest poor mans rail-
road in this section of the country.
Many persons, situated along the ca
nal, have been employed upon it for
years, but are compelled to find en-
ployment elsewhere, as the prospect
for boating is no more encouraging
than it was early in the spring. This
is also heavy blow TO merchants and
farmers along the canal, who have
merchandise and an overplus of grain
to dispose Of. There has been talk Of
railroad superseding the canal st
no distant day, and this would be a
heavy blow to those who have made
boating a lifelong business, for any
one who could buy boat and two or
three mules, could crack his whip and
go ahead and have full control of lit
tie train of his own, without being
subject to the orders of any railroad
official or bonded monopoly.
