letter had estranged the abolitionists of the
country from him, and in New York State,
where they had nearly five thousand votes,
they withheld their expected support, and thus
defeated him.

CINCINNATI, December 2S.-The ST. Louis
correspondent OF the Commercial telegraphs
that paper as follows: "Kuowing that in
New Orleans and Baltimore there were
efforts making to work up enthusiasm on
the subject of Worlds Cotton Exposition,
which the directors OF tbs National Cotton
Planters' Association decided in November
last TO prepsre for, your correspondent
sought to ascertain what ST. Louis intended
10 do ia the matter. II was learned, al
though Il month has elapsed since the under
taking was first broached, that st. Louis
merch ants had not even taken an Initial
step toward getting subscriptions. President
Thos. G. West, OF the ST. Louis C1tton Ex-
change, said this morning:
"St. Louis should certainly have the Ex-
position. There is not point in the coun-
try more centrally located and better in every
way for the purpose. S.. Louis merchants
ings Of the National Planters Association
with more than ordinary interest, but when
they demanded bonus of S501,000, we were
struck all in heap. That seemed to settle
II for u, and some days after the offer was
made talked with several cotton men on
The board, but all deemed it impossible to
get up the required sum by subscriptions.
But then there's hope for us STILL In my
opinion no one of the cities that is COM pet
ing for the Exposition will be able TO raise
the required amount. In fact, that seems 10
be the general opinion. Although Louisville
may have raised 100000 by tremendous ex-
eriion, 1t will require more irhuence and
work 10 raise the rest than il did TO raise
that amount. Steps have been taken by sew
erai oil the other competing cities TO get the
amount, but $500, 900 zee us 10 strike all OF
them as by far too much TO be easily raised.
With this in view, the railroads of ST. Louis
which will be mtst directly benefited by the
Exposition, should take the inilistory step,
but the railways and cotton meu of 81. Louis
can not be expected TO take the burden
alone. Several officers of the Association
have expressed preference for ST. Louis, and
it lies only with the merchants and railways
to give this city the exhibition. 1t is pretty
safe 10 say St. Louis will not eudeavor very
strenuously to secure the fair"

AT a meeting Of The cigar manufacturers of
New York, held On Tuesday last, q reso-
luton was adopted asking Congress to i'm
pose u per pound on al foreign tobacco i'm
ported into this country, except tobacco
raised in or shipped from the island of

action as will either relieve our tobacco

Of course this ia jest now impracticable and
impossible. The people of the country al

of the tax on whisky and tobacco, and that
the tariff shall be revised in the general in

INNOCENT OSCAR.
The 1Esthetfc Apostle Taken i'm by
Bunk0-sieerers I'm New York.

NEW YORK, December % Capt Williams
has verified the story that Oscar Wilde was
taken ia" by bunko-stserers. The captain
says two weeks ago Oscar, while walking up
Broadway, near Union Square, was aecosied
by a haiehet-faced young man, who intro
dnced himself as son OF Dfexel, the bank
er. AS he had seen the poet in his fathers
office, he tooklthe liberty, etc. Wilde was
delighted. He had been in the Dre1el
banking otice, but did not remember the
young man. The two went to restanrauut,
where Mr.. Dfexel ate ss though hungry.
Wilde remembered this, and not withstanding
the a5tht te smiled later in the day when in
formed by Capt. Williams that Mr.. Drexel
was "Hungry Joe" noted bunko steefer.
During he meal Drexel mentioned that he
had won lottery prize, and suggested that
the poet accompany him 10 get the money.
They went 10 q house on Fifteenth or Seven
teenth street. Several men were throwing
dice. Daxel threw for the poet, and won
quite sum. Oscar was then persu AIDED TO
join in, and, OF course, began TO lose. First
it was $50, then 500, until becoming ex-
cited over the game he played until he lost
10 all $1,000. He signed a check on the
Madison Square Bank for the amount,
rushed into the street, jumped iuto a cab
and drove rapidly TO the bank, where he
stopped payment. The check was later re-
turned 10 Capt Williams. In the rogue's
gallery Oscar picked out the picture of his
friend and companion, Mr.. Drexel, alias
Hungry Joe.

TIE School Board last night, by afe.e oil
eight 10 seven, rescinded the resolution passed
st a previous meeting asking the Legislature
10 abolish The board aud substitute therefor
five commissioners. This merely proves q
change OF mind on The part Of some
of the members of the board. 1t will
not have any weight with the Legisla-
ture as against the will Of the peo-
pie. They have determined on change
and will have it. The common sense and
economical methods Of the Taxing District
government have determined them in their
course. They will not permit any OF the
old methods Of government to exist any
longer than they can help it. No consiilu-
tional iwpediment stands between them and
the accomplishment of their wishes as to
the School Board, as in the case OF
the County Court. 1t exists by virtue oil
a Legislative enact ment merely, and it is
competent for the Legislature, which meets
mex, Monday, to repeal it and substitute
therefor an act cresling Board of School
Commissioners for the Taxing District.
This will be eat relief to tn. public and

II has been very evident to the judiciously

has been "plsyiDe out" his late. efforts
being often crude and oveIstrained. The latest
evidence of this was his speech at the dinner
Of the NsN England Society at Delmonico's

very coarse, aud must have been especially
offensive 10 every decent woman who read it.
The New York Tribune criticises the humor-
ist for it very severely, and ssys: There is
no reason why professional humorists should
feel absolved from respecting the p-oprieiies,

they may be in a bar-room or cognate audi-
torium, are not in place in the presence of a
distinguished company of refined people
assembled on a notable occasion. Ii is not

private counsel for parties who may or may
not be interested in cases wherein the rights
of the public are involved. There is un-
doubtedly good ground for the objections, if
the cause for them exists, but even IN that
event the attorney general can find plenty of
respectable precedents for the course COM
planned of. May be not as we'll be retained
and engaged private counsel, and even
against the government, as members OF the
United States Senate ana House of Repre-
sentatives? The spectacle presented of one
or more of these honorable gentlemen argu-
ing cases against the government is not an
unusual one iu Washington. What is the

the attorneys general in a matter like that is?
