Nothing definite is yet known with re-
gard to the proposed action of the Gov
ernor upon the tobacco bill. The propos-
ition that the new law will operate to re
instate the old inspectors seems at least
to be very doubtful one, and as this is
said to be the only objection the Govern
or has to the bill, it would seem not i'm
probable that he will give it his approval

Hon. James Gillespie Blaine, the opium
ed Knight" and author of the famous
American Policy" has gone down irglo-
riously and trailed his proud crest in the
dust, before the unframed lance of Mr..
Perry Belmont, a young Congressman from
New York, Just serving his first term
MI: Blaine was invited before the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs to tell what
he knew with regard to the manner in
which the guano claims Of Cochet, Lam
dreau and Others had gotten mixed up in
the american policy" OF the Hon Blaine,
aud the diplomatic intercourse between
| this government and those of Chill and
Peru under the late administration. Mr..
Blaine appeared On Tuesday, and after
making. with much parade and bluster. a
voluble statement regardin. the maser.
in which he aired bis knowledge of diplo-
macy much more fully han he explained
the guano claims, undertook to divert Mr.
Belmont, the Democratic membsr of the
committee who conducted the cnss-exam-
ination, by assuming the roLs of censor
and lecturing Mr.. Belmont for what be
claimed to be mis4uotasSon of one of his
dispatches in an intersogatory addressed
to the witness Shipherd in the previous
testimony. Mr.. Belmont, however, though
somewhat confused by the bullying man.
ner OF. theex-Seeretary, persisted in asking
him. to interpret his own dispatches and
explain more particularly their bearing
upon the guano claims, until Mr.. Blaine
gqeiae lost his temper, and 10 fit of un-
controlled anger used some very discour-
teous and indecorous language to Mr. Bel
mont, which provoked from ,he latter gen
tleman the appel of bully and COW
ard" The scene is described as a most
disgraceful one, in which the "Pluned
Knight" is said to have made very so.ry
figure indeed, displaying much more OF
the characteristics and instincts Of the
vulgar bully, than the courtesy, sefpos-
session and dignity that are generally sup
posed to belong to the statesman and di-
pomatist. The extraordinary. not to say
disgraceful, conduct of the ex Secretary o.
State, who is the ackno xledged head a
mong Republican statesmen is fofcibl,
exemplification of the class Of men whom
Republican policy has placed at the helm
of State and in the field Of diplomacy
Mr.. Blaine's, conduct has called forth the
uniform censure OF the }sading press, both
Republican and Deusoeratic, and he has
perhaps, given his presidential aspirations
a'more serious blow by bis tilt with the
insi gnificant Belmoat, whom he, with hi:
characteristic elegance, compared to "a
garbage boy On the street," than by any
affair he has figured in for some time. =
His extraordinary display of temper ane
indecorum toward Mr. Belmont has ex
cited universal popular suspicion thai
the drift Of that gentleman's inquiry wa.
toward some revelations which Mr. Blaine
is especially anxious to avoid. Evidently
recognizing the popular demand the Ser
ate has charged its foreign affai,s commit
tee with further Investigation of tb,
