Rebate.

When we pcnned the little paragraph
which appeared in yesterdays DiSpdtct
relative TO the Senate resolution on the
subjec: OF allowing rebate Of the tax on
tobacco in case that tax was removed or
reduced, We did not know that the NOR
RIiL amendment had been agreed TO by
the Senate. This amendment ought TO
have been voted down. Instead Of allow
ing the rebate asked for, II proposes TO
claim the right to provide that the law re-
ducing or removing the tobacco tax shall
not 60 into effect until the manufacturers
shall have bad time allowed them TO sell
the stock OF tobacco which they shall
manufacture under the guarantee OF Con-
gross on the subject. That il TO say, ii
there shall be 4 six months supply on
hand, The new law shall not 60 into effect
until six months after the passage OF the
same.
The object Of Mr.. MORRILL, was to save
the manufacturers from harm by giving
them time enough 10 work of the stock
which they might have on hand when The
new law should take effect; but whether
his amendment will accomplish that object
or not, we cannot determine. The sense OF
the men most concerned seems TO be de-
cidedly against the amendment; and there
fore we have said that it ought to save been
voted down.

TERsBUIG.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Disra'chI
DECEMBER 90, 1882.
The exports OF manufactured tobacco
this year have been unprecedcntedly large.
The manufacturers for some months past
have been very busy. and they have large or
ders TO filI,which will require them owork
during the Christmas holidays II they can
obtain the labor. II Is believed that the
exports for tho year will aggregate nearly
six millions Of pounds. The manufacture
for home consumption, however, has great
ly suffered, and the sales have been small,
in consequence OF the uncertainty about
the tax.
The pay-ro,ls Of the officers and employees
OF the various municipal departments,
elected by the Common Council on the 1st
OF July, who have received no pay since
that time. are being prepared and will be
presented 10 the Council on the LIST OF JAN
uary for payment. This includes those
who have been on duty rs well rs those VINO
have not rendered any active service.
Much sympathy is expressed for The
Courts decision, and it Is believed this
sympathy will take such practical shape as
10 secure To them large portion IL not the
whole Of The money due them.
The three s,Imac factories in this city
have ground this year between sixteen and
seventeen hundred tons, or about 100000
pounds. Of leaves, which have sold at
about an average OF $50 pef ton. Dealers
here estimate that this years crop in the
State is not much mere than one half OF
that Of fSSi. Our dealers this year have
purchased quantities OF leaves from the
counties north OF Richmond.
The receipts Of cotton this week were
about LOCO bales.
The business statistics will show larger
trade this year than during any wear since
the panic Of 1878, and the outlook for next
year is decidedly encouraging. The fine
crops of all descriptions have given trade 4
boom which all departments have felt. The
volume Of business has not only been
greater, but II has been healthier and more
satisfactory. ROBIN ApAlR.

How Che COTNin K;rOkc Up Ear
DarOuS Custom.

The letter from the collector OF customs
at Sitka. Alaska, submitted to the House
OF Representatives Thursday by the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, in reply to the resolu-
ton Of Mr.. Hewitt concerning the sheling
OF Alaskan Indians by the rcycnue-cuttcr
Corwin, iuStiiics the action OF Officers
lIcaly, Merriam, and Adams. The en-
cumslances of the shelling were fully de-
scribed in these dispatches at the time the
resolution OF inquiry was offered. In this
letter OF justification the collector explains
that the IIoochenoo Indians are rich and
warikc tribe that can be dealt with in
no way but by force. He says it is an old
custom with them, when any Indian s
killed by either white man or an Indian,
to demand potlatch (pay) on behalf Of the
relatives, generally in blankets, and the
terms are "potlatch or die" The United
States authorities, in view of the barbarlsm
Of the practice, have tried IN vain to break
1t up. In this case an Indian was killed by
the falling OF a tree which he himself cut
| down for company OF whites. The at-
| tempt to get "potlatch' was not success
ful, and from it the hcstilities grew. The
bursting OF a bomb while the whaling COM
pany was trying to proiec, the whites frr-
lher complicated matters by the killing Of
another Indian, and the shelling and dc.
suuction OF the village last October are ius.

a ST. LOuis Scandal Rcopencd.

A st. Louis special OF the 22d says: The
Teyis-lglchart scandal WAS reopened to-
day by discovery made by the husband.
1t appears that just before the shooting OF
Iglehart by Mr.. Teyis the latter's wife
went to a money-lcnder and mortgagcd all
her husbands chattels and household
goods, valued at $1,000, for the sum OF
$500. Mr.. Tcyis never knew OF the cX-
istence OF the mortgage until to-day,
when the constable appeared, with the in
tention OF collecting money loaned and oX
or1itant interest or OF ioreclosing. Mr..
Toyis's sister. Mrs. Johnston, who Is now
keeping house for TcyiS, asked the con-
stable TO wait a movcnt while she tele-
phoned Mr.. Teyis. The constable waited,
and Mr.. Teyis soon appeared upon the
scene and secured q stay OF proceedings.
This new revelation, he said, was another
hard blow. Mrs. Tevis, it will be remem-
bcrc1, is niece Of General Sherman,
General OF the Army.
