THE BEST WAY TO SETTlEIT.
Judge Blacks Views on Dukes Ad'
mi.sion TO the House.

PIrrsRuRGH, March 22.-Areporter called
on Judge Jere Black, at the Monongahela
House, yesterday evening, to learn his
opinion about the admission OF Dukes TO
the House OF Representatives.
"There is danger of going too far, said
the Judge, las in all cases where the pas.
sions of men become thoroughly aroused.
There is, however, precedent for declar-
ing Dukes seat vacant
when was that?''
'In 1888 Thad. Stevens, after he tried to
get UP the war known in the history OF
this State as the Buckshot war,
and the enterprise collapsed. Jump:
ed out OF "a back window OF
the Senate, and ran off to Gettysburg, where
he remained without claiming his seat for
about month. When he came in and Of
fered to take the oath the House resolved
with great solemnity that his seat was va
cant. do not believe that this judgment
of the House was founded upon the mere
sailure of Stevens to claim his seat, for
others who had been out nearly as long
were admitted without hesitation. The
door was shut upon Stevens by sentiment
of indignation like that now felt against N.
l.. Dukes. He had tried to
Perpetrate n Gross Fraud
by the introduction of eleven members
from Philadelphia who were known not to
be elected, and brought troops to Harris
burg with the intent to force the bogus
members upon the House that knew they
bad no right there. II the troops could
have been used as he intended, it would
have produced a civil war, and the whole
State might have been covered with blood
and ashes. Ii that was the reason for de-
claring Stevens seat vacant, the case is au-
thority for similar judgment against
Dukes, but doubt II it
was right Congress in sew.
eral cases has turned men out OF their
places on the ground that they were i'm
proper personS-morally unfit TO associate
with the members who voted against them.
think Congress was wrong every time 1t
did this, as the British Parliament was
wrong in refusing for similar reason to
seat Wilkes But what is to be done in q
case like this? 1t is literally impossible to
let a man like Dukes take part in the
legislation OF the State. The House will
exclude him, even at the risk OF taking
some revolutionary measure to keep him
out. If the thing is TO be done lawlessly, l
would rather see it done outside the House
than by the action of the members"
And what method would you suggest,
Mr. Black, as most suitable to the case?"
1T would be better, think, that some
body should meet him at the depot and run
him out of the town before he has time to
get I'D the hill. Probably, however, he
will have too much regard for his health to
make his appearance there at all"

ARREST OF AN ANARCHIST.
New York the Stamping Ground OF the
ReNOlutiOnists.

New YORK, March 22.-It appears that
the short cabIegram from Paris regarding
the imprisonment Of n. Tisagaray, the
son in.law Of Karl Marx, and the arrest OF
the celebrated Anarchist, N. Dercure,
though Of but triling interest to the gener-
al reader, stirred the Conmunistic and So
cialistic circles. II was Dercure's arrest on
which the most curiosity cen.
tered, because he had been q re.
cognized leader OF great ability and elo-
quence and one OF the very noblesse OF La
Commune. He had taken an active part In
the famous siege Of Pere La Chaise, but was
one Of the amnestIed and came TO this
country with Megy and others. The OBJ
ject Of his return is somewhat mysterious,
but il Is supposed by some Of those In the
inner circle that it was closely connected
with the recent revival OF the 1nterna-
tionale. II is said that the revolutionary
societies are organizing for an active cam
paign and that New York is TO be the
stsmping ground for the Communists ofall
Europe,

SLAVERY IN BRAZIL.
Action OF the Judges with Regard TO
the African Laborers-

the AIr1cau LbDorefs-
Rio JANEIRo, February l6-The eman-
cipation question has taken another little
spurt through the action of the District
Judge Of Cape Frio, who is expunging from
the lists of slaves brought before him in his
judicial capacity all of African birth under
fifty.two years Of age as being ipSo tdcto
free, having been imported since 1881, when
the slave trade was declared illegal.
although, as matter Of fact, it was winked
at and did not really cease until 1850,
when the central government changed
its policy and effectually extinguished it.
The Judge Of Cape Frio has not been the
only one to take this course, a Pernambuco
Judge having previously freed African
slaves under fifty years, bat his act assumes
greater importance from occurring almost
under the nose OF the central government,
who, though averse to the stirring up of
the slave question, have not taken any Of
fetal notice OF an act going to create pre-
cedent affecting q great many slaves and
which the aboliti onists have long been
anxious TO establish, notwithstanding that
the eminent lawyer, Senator Nabuco, faith.
er Of the present apostle Of abolition, now
in London. had pronounced that the vested
rights of the possessors OF African slaves
imported after 1881 must be recognized by
law

REBATE ON TOBACCO TAX.
Dccision on the Subject by First Com
troller Lawrence.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-First Comp
troller Lawrence to-day decided that the
internal revenue law recently passed by
Congress and the revised statutes give
ample authority to allow, admit and
certify for payment of the rebate in favor
of manufacturers and dealers in tobacco,
but that nothing in the act referred to in
dicates that Congress intended to give
authority to make payment in money.
The act he holds provides that such rebate
shall be paid in stamps at the reduced rates
to manufacturers, but this does not extend
to dealers in the language OF the law. The
Internal Revenue Bureau reports that the
total number of tobacco dealers coming
within the scope of the law is $4,000 or
these, 420 900 are dealers, 1900 mauufac-
turers of cigars, and 800 manufacturers of
tobacco anu snuff
