Tonnage Tax.

Assistant Secretary French has written
letter to tho collector of customs at Newport
News, Va, in regard to an inquiry whether
tonnage tax can be collected of a vessel Of the
United States or clearance foreign, when it
has not been previously paid, and also whether
Tonnage tax can be collected of u foreign ves-
sci on entry, from q domestic port, if after
leaving domestic port destined to q
foreign port her certificate of last
payment shall have expired; and also
whether evidence Of the payment Of tonnage
tax within year is a necessary prerequisite
to the granting clearance ts foreign or do
nestle vessel.
The assistant secretary says that the first
clause of section 4319, Revised Statutes, re-
quiring the payment OF tonnage tax on the
entry of any vessel from foreign port is con-
sidered to supercede the rule laid down in
section 1924, Revised Statutes, which made
the tax co,lectable on first clearance or first
entry, within calendar year, and that the
rule now is to collect the tax on the first entry
made by vessel foreign or domestic from a
forsign port: and this tax cannot be
collected again till second entry of the
same vessel shall occur at least twelve
months from the date of the last payment.
Tonnage tax, therefore, can be collected Of
no vessel on a clearance foreign, and if GER
tifcato of payment made by any vessel shall
expire, after she shall leave one domestic
port and enter another, en- route to foreign
port, the tax docs not attach to such vessel
But if such a certificate shall have expired
before the vessels entry from a foreign port
at domestic port the tax would be due on
such entry, and lf not then paid 1t would be
coilectible on her next entry at q domestic
port. Tho payment of a tax is not pre-
requisite to q clearance.

is political offense That is to say, they ad-
nit the guilt Of men who are presumed to be
Innocent and then pretend to believe it to be
the duty Of the administration they hate to
say that the assassains are political refugees,
and cannot be surrendered. This government
will not regard the opinion of England
nor Of Dublin grand jury, as to
the alleged completely of Sheridan, lyman,
and Walsh in the Phoenix park murders. 1t
will only regard the evidence presented on
the hearing. The democratic party would
doubtless rejoice to sec the administration
substitute the conclusions of English officials
for the evidence required in cases of extradi-
tion, because then it would be compelled
either to declare private murder political
offense, or TO surrender men to almost certain
death without tho evidence called for by the
treaty. In either case the democratic press
would, of course, vigorously denounce the dc.
cigion.

Resist the Extortlon.

There is very good reason for believing the
story told in an interview this morning by q
gentleman Of this city, who received bills and
was compelled to pay for gas during two
months when his house was closed, his family
away, and no gas burned. The employees of
the company simply "took the state Of the
meter" for those months, and the company
gave their victim the choice between pay
ing according to the meter or having his
supply of gas cut Off Reports Of similar
cases are frequent enough. 1t is an old and
exasperating gouge, which cannot be too
strongly denounced. THE REPUBLICAN, sug-
gosts that its readers note their meters when
they have occasion to leave their houses, and
steadily refuse upon their return to
pay for any fictitious consumption of gas.
No law exists by which payment
can be compelled for thing that has not
been delivered or used; and even this AFRO
CANT monopoly is within control of law. 1t
simply requires two or three citizens to bunch
their cases together and make test Of the
point, to show the gas company that the earth
is not its property, and the law Of moum and
tuum its football.

subcontrncts For star Routes.

The postmaster general issued ON Saturday
regulations superseding that section of the
regulations of 1879, as to subcontracts in the
star mail service. The new ones will go into
effect Oct l. 1883. Subcontracts can only be

general, and the application to sublet must
be made separately for each route, specifying
its number and terminal points. 1t must be

than year or the balance of the contract
term, when less than a year. 1t must be
fled by the contractor in the Office Of the Sec
end assistant postmaster general within
thirty days after the time when service be-
gins under it. 1t must be executed in the
form prescribed by the postmaster general,
and specify the rate per annum, in case SER
vice shall be changed; must stipulate that
the subcontractor. shall assume liability for
fines and deductions and that he shall receive
pro rata of the extra pay allowed contractor
for curtailment, reduction or discontinuance.
The subcontractor must reside ON or near the
route; the evidence of payment to him must
be his receipt, attested by postmaster Of one
of the termini on form prescribed by the
department, Copies of subcontract to be
filed must be certified copies by postmaster
of one of the termini. Subcontracts must be
made with the original contractor. These
regulations apply only to the star service.

Treaty stipulations.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 20.-A Tombstone
special to the Erening Chronicle says The
following information Is direct from head
quarters of tho army for operations against
the Indians, dated Aposura, Sonora, May 10.
Tuesday evening last a courier arrived from
Bavispe with q communication from Lieut..
Parras stating that Gen. Crook reached there
on the fifth with 200 Apache scouts, 100 Amer
lean cavalry and body of Mexican troops.
Crook obtained guides from the military
commander of the town to conduct his force
to where Garcia had his lato fight The next
day he departed for the Sierra Madres via
Guacheria. The command is accompanied
by forty pack mules, laden with provisions
sufficient to last long period. The main
body of Crooks force, now numbering 500,
are c9mped ut Alomohueco, twenty leagues
frc n Janos Had Lieut. Parras consulted
with Heady before giving Crook guides, none
would have been furnished, on tire ground
that Crooks entry was in violation of the
treaty. Crook mado all his preparations de-
liberatoly and has the sympathy of che Mexi-
can population.
BY return courier Col. Bandata, tho new
commanding officer, wrote Gen. Crook, re.
lnonstrating In courteous but decided Ian
guage that his action was an inifuction Of the
treaty Neither Bandata nor Garcia, who
was lately In command. have received in
structions as to what Con. Crook. by the con-
sent of their government, wc"ld be per-
mittod 10 do. Bandata says he wal oblige all
the American military force to adhere to the
articles of the treaty.
When Bandata received the news Of Crooks
arrival at BaTspo, he took immediate guard
against the Indians making another raid II
driven out of the mountains by Gen. Crook
Many familiar with the Apaches state that
Gen. Crook will not be able to find the In
dians il they learn of his approach. They
will scatter into small bandw ard hide In Inn
penetrable Businesses. Others as confidently
state that Crook will not be able to bring
them to fight, because the Indians have ex.
hausted nearly all their ammunition in the
Garcia fight
DENVER, May 20.-Private advices from
Elpaso state nothing has yet been received
from Gen. Crooks command.

The Propo.ed color.d Convention.

As the negroes have been tho chief element
at the basis of all political discussion in this
country for forty years, and the main busi-
ness Of all political conventions, and as they
are now all free Americans and have about q
million of votes, it would be difficult to find
an argument against their having conven-
tion of their own If they choose to hold one.
AZ to any authority for calling one, there Is
no central committee representing the
whole race, but few or many
can invite tho assembling of chosen
delegates. If convention is to be held IL
would be much better if 1t could be composed
Of delegates elected by the masses of the col
ored people. Whatever else is done, we be-
love the best advisers among the colored
people will bear steadily in mind the vast
Importance Of generous and cordial recogni-
tion Of all who show their friendship
for tho race by deeds. The black
man has exhibited the great vir-
tues Of generosity and forboarance. He
are willing to recoganize his rights, not to
dispute over tho crumbs of Office, but to show
that free labor will intelligently work out its
destiny. This will, we trust, engage tho at
tention Of the colored race in America. A
high tariff means good wages. A revenue
only tariff means less wages and little
work. The campaign of 1884 is to be
contest between American laborers
and European manufacturers. Labor is
divided by no color line. The party of
protection is the party of American capital
and labor. Tho free traders are the party Of
foreign capital and labor. The tariff question
should largely engage any convocation of
colored people, and doubtless will. Mean
while let us hope all rivalries and disputes
among them may be amicably settled.
