HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, December 21.-Mr
Kelley, of Pennsylvania, chairman of
the ways and means committee, re-
ported resolution declaring it to be
the sense of the House, that in case
the internal revenue laws be so
amended as to abolish the tax on
tobacco, snuff and cigars, or either,
that provision should be made for
allowing rebate of the tax paid on
the stock on hand at the time such
law goes into effect, provided that
such stock is stamped and in unbrok-
en- packages. sN
Mr.. Kasson, of Iowa, in behalf of
the minority of the committee, re-
ported as q substitute a resolution
declaring that, in the judgment of
the House, no further reduction of
taxes on manufactures of tobacco
shall now be made than that pro>
vided for in the House bill to res
duce the internal revenue taxation
now pending in the Senate.
Mr.. Whitthorne, of Tennessee, OBJ
jected to the present consideration
of the subject.
Mr.. Tucker, of Virginia, appealed
to Mr.. WhiJthorne to withdraw his
objection. The whole tobacco trade
was thrown into great trouble by
the proposition to repeal the tax on
tobacco without any provision for
rebate. The resolutions were finally
referred to the committee of the
whole.
Mr.: Kelly gave notice that he
would ask consideration to day or
tomorrow.
The House at 12:45 went into com,
mittee of the whole, with Mr. Town.
send in the chair, on the army ap-
preparation bill, which appropriates
$2,468, ITO.
After an explain alton of the bill by
Mr.. Butterworth, of Ohio, MIR.
Hewitt, of New York, addressed
himself to the consideration of the
provision that for army transporta-
ton the land-grant roads which
have received government aid, by
loan or guarantee of bonds, shall be
allowed compensation of not ex>
ceeding so per cent. of the amount
paid by private parties for the same
kind of service.
The entire afternoon was consum-
ed in the discussion of this provis
ion, and without action the commit
tee rose, and after granting twenty
five leaves of absence, the House, at
4:30, adjourned. B@

Ransom's Successor.

We did not anticipate any serious op
position To the re e'ectlUn OF Senator
Ransom at the ensuing session of the
Legislature, but We learn that Hon. W.
i. Dortch, State Senator from wayne.
has announced himself to the members
elect as a candidate, aud bases his oppo
sltion on the ground that the latter has
been Senator twelve years that he has
voted Tor nearly all the extravagant APP
propriations proposed by the Repub!i-
ans. and especially that he voted to pen
sion Gen. Grant. IL i also reported that
Gov. Jarvis is a candidate, but why the
rumor Is put In circulation again after
the explicit denial of the Governor, we
do not know, and we do not believe a word
of u.-Charlotte journal.
While Senator Ransom is the first
choice Of the large body Of Democrats
in this section, yet if a majority of the
Democratic members Of the General As
sembly should prefer Mr.. Dortch no one
could complain. AIr. portch i an able
man AMI commands Ia confidence aud
esteem OF the people Of North Caro-
.lud.
