FROM WASHINGTON.

The adiutant General of the army,
who has been endeaVoring to organize
the military companies of the district
into regiment, has abandoned the
undertaking on account of the great
differences of opinion among the COM
panies. The white and colOred COM
panies were not willing to form parts
of the same regiment, while some OF
the companies were unwilling to aoan-
don their independent organizations.
There has been an unusual number
of deaths in the forty-eighth congress.
-Four members have died already be-
fore Congress has assembled. They
are UpIegraf, of Ohio, HerndOn, OF
Alabama, Poole, of North Carolina,
and Cults, of Iowa. The two latter
were Republicans. 1t is not certain
that Il Republican can succeed in the
new election in North Carolina, while
there are some doubts whether the
Republicans in the Iowa district can
elect a successor to Cults.
A private letter received here from
one of the superintendent OF the
Panama canal says that the work IS
rapidly progressing; that eight thou
sand men are now constantly engaged.
The Superintendent, however, SAID
that he could not venture an opinion

pleted.
The total expenditure of the gov
eminent for rivers and harbors Is

The Boston 1drertjSer takes view
of the working Of our State tax law
with the following conclusions:
A law which in three years has
raised the tax list for a State some
thing over 50 per cent. is worthy Of
attention. 1t came out of the popu-
lar demand that some steps must be
taken to put an end to the evasion Of
taxes which afflicted the State. Ev-
cry tax payer is now obliged to give
under oath a statement Of his prop
ertv for the use of his assessors, and
in case Of his refusal to do so they are
obliged to double the value of all
property which can be found.
Various devices have been resOrted
to in order to escape the strict letter
of the act, and at first large part of
the Weather citizens united in refus-
ing to furnish lists. But the people
were awake, and gave no doubtful
proofs of their determination that the
law should be obeyed. Several Off
GERS of long standing repute were re-
fused reflections for refusing to sub
NIT their tax lists, and the chief JUS
tice of the State only by narrow
margin of seven votes succeeded in
obtaining reelection at the hands
of the Legislature. His offense was
refusing to submit his own tax list.
This year more general acquies-
cence has been shown than at any
other time before, and the law is evil
IDENTITY not to be further disregarded.
1t is not contended that every man is
taxed equita5ly, but it is demonstrat,
ed that the burden of taxation is dis
tributed more evenly than ever before
New Hampshire has a similar act, but
it is not enforced with the strictness
which obtains generally the other side
of the Connecticut.
There is always an objection tC
any scheme which compels the citizen
to make oath to his property and then
have the schedule exposed for the in
spection of the idle and curious.
Much was said in Vermont against
this inquisitorial feature of the law.
But it is worthy of notice that after
a fair trial the directors have gener-
allv consented to let the law take its
course. The lash of popular disaD-
proval has done its work, and it is
now regarded in Vermont as good
form" to pay ones taxes.

Several large factories in New York
city are now engaged in the manufac-
ture of fine, long cut smoking tobacco
from such material as industrious Ital-
ian boys may rake from the cutters,
the product selling at retail for about
twenty cents a pound. The cigar
stubs are soaked in a solution Of am
monia, to extract the nicotine and
creosote, pressed into a cake and
sliced by a cutting machine, treated
to a solution which bleaches the mass
to a fine yellow, and finally dried and
dampened by an atomizer with a liquid
containing glycerine and flavoring ex-
tracts. 1t is of this stuff that most
of the cheap cigarettes are made. 1t
is perfectly harmless, and the smoke
is as innocent and eXhIlarating as the

bage leaves and musty straw.

John C. Calhoun, of South Carroll
ma. a grandson of the famous states
man of the same name, and who Is
now a resident of Arkansas, was q
witness before the Senate committee
on labor and education in New York
recently. He was called to testify in
regard to the condition and prospects
of labor in the south. lie stated that
since 1869 he had been engaged in
cotton raising in Arkansas, and had
abundant opportunities of observing
the condition of labor at the south.
The laborers in the Mississippi Val
lev. said the witness, were entirely
agricultural. Few white men were
employed, as they soon became either
land owners or tenants. The cOndi-
ton of the negroes was good as COM
pared with that of few years ago.
There were three methods of employ
inc laborers, for wages, working on
shares and as tenants. There was no
country in the world where great
err Hberality was shown to the
laborer. The large farmer, besides
furnishing the laborers with shelter,
fuel and other advantages, divides the
gross proceeds of the crops among
the employees. Under this system
thrifty and industrious labOrers ought
soon to become land owners, but the
negroes are so indolent that they fai
to take advantage of the OppOrtuni-
ties offered them. They will only de-
vote so much of their time to work as
will enable them to procure the neces-
stiles of life. Under the renting sys-
TEN the best land in the country can
be obtained for IS or $40 an acre, land
with the rental 60 many privileges.
On his own farm the witness has tried
all these methods of employing labor,
but preferred the tenant system. 1t
was his object to raise the standard OF
the colOred labOUer to that Of the
small white farmer. This could only
be done gradually on account Of the
extreme poverty Of the negroes. A
large portion of the cotton crop was
now raised by the small farmers, and
the number of these was increasing
every year. The relations between
planters and their employees were
friendly and harmonious and there
was little danger of strikes. The la
borers felt that they had an interest
in the soil and that a strike would be
as injurious to them as to the employ
ers.

This process ofmanulacture was invented
by James Boss, who started in business in
1854, and the methods and tools used in
making these watch cases are covered by
patents. This is the only ,catch case made
under this process For many years the in
PRODUCTION of these goods was slow, owing
topopular prejudice against plated goods,
but gradually the public learned that the
James Boss Gold Watch Case was not
cheap goLd-tcashed or electro-PIated article,
but was made of genuine gold plates of
standard quality and thickness. Conscientious
adherence to the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,
and the adoption of every improvement
suggested, has made the james Boss Gold
Watch Case the STANDARD. -a.oE - MARK
In this watch case the parts = y
