ing. Present were Gen. Ransom, Gen.
Scales, Maj. Dowd and Judge Bennett, of
of the North Carolina dele gation, Col.
Cabell and Mr.. George D.. Wise, of Nir-
ginia, and five or six others. The sub
ject of the internal revenue was discussed,
but no conclusion as to measures was ar.
rived at. The conference appointed a
committee consisting ofGen. Scales, Col.
Cabell and Nr. Gambler, of Georgia, to
consult with the Ways and Means Com
%ulittee. | am told that the basis of a
bill will be Col. Green's and Col. Cabel's.
The formers allows the free manufacture
of brandy from fruits. The %latter's goes
further, providing for the abolition of
the tax on tobacco and for a penalty it,
brandy manufacturer shall make whiskev.
Taking Col. Green's central idea. it is
hoped to secure, in addition. the aboli.
ton of the eight cents a pound now bur
dening tobacco. Necessarily all this
reduction calls for a corresponding re-
duction in the number Of persons en-
ploying in the collection of the internal
revenue. This reduction will be con-
siderable in the whole State although
not so much by great deal as has
been asked for. 1t is estimated that
the amount reduced will be something
over thirty millions. Mr.. Morrison has
been talked to, and he says that he is
now in favor Of taking off both taxes,
whereas before he only favored reducing

KEPT ALIVE Four MoNTHs.-Profes-
sor S. w. Gross, NJ. d., has performed a
very remarkable operation, and one sci
dom attempted In surgery, In the case OF
a female patient at the Jefferson Hos
pital. The unfortunate woman was suf-
fering from a tumOr in the throat, which
had progressed so far as to choke up the
0sophagus and interfere finally with
nutrition. 1t was a choice between absO-
lutte starvation and a daring operation,
which might at least prolong the life of
the sufferer. An incision was made in
the stomach, and a silver tube perma-
nently introduced. with and elastic at
tachment, in such a way that the stomach
could be filled with nourishment from a
funnel. This was a only successful &C
cOmpllshlng, but it is now four months
since Professor Gross thus tried to relieve
his patient, and during hat entire time
her lite has been prolonged SO as to give
hopes, if her strength can only be kept
up, OF an operation that may be success
ful In removing the tumor from the
throat.
The patient is, of course, very weak
and helpless, but is said to have a good
appetite and to experience hunger at
meal times as regularly as those who are
able to feed themselves according to ma
ture's method. OF course, the food ad-
ministered Is specially prepared b. care
full nurses.
Should DR.. Gross be successful 10 his
noble eDdeavor it will be triumph not
only for him, but for the college,

old Ticket Talk.

The talk about the old ticket has~Deeh
revived. In some quarters it is asserted
with a great deal Of positiyeness that MI.
Tilden Is a candidate, and that he VIII
exert himself to secure the nomination
In others the idea that Tilden has any no.
tion Of being candidate before the con-
vention is made the occasion for ainuse-
ment. Nobody seems 10 know what MI
/ TiIden's intentions are, and 1t must De
admitted that his wishes Will have
great deal to do with shaping
the work Of the convention. Inc
New York Sun stated sometime
ago that TiIden would not be candidate,
and at that time this announcement was
looked upon as settling that matter.
since then there have been assertions,
about as authoritative, as far as the pub
lie knows. that Tilden's name will be be-
fore the convention with his consent. 1t
is a remarkable fact that Tilden does not
authorize any statement to be made re-
specting his intentions. Mr.. Payne mas
authorized his son to say that he would
not be a candidate, and there is no good
reason why Mr.. Tilden should not say
himself. or authorize some friend to say
for him. that he IS not a candidate; that
is, if he is not a candidate. If he IS a
candidate there is. Of course, no occasion
for him to say anything. The fact that be
says nothing is construed to mean, doubt
less, that he is a candidate.
A canvass that was made in Indiana q
few days ago showed, according to the re-
port. that the old ticket was remarkably
strong. Publications have been made OF
alleged tests Of public sentiment in other
/ sections Of the country, and 1T is aremark-
/ able fact that in every instance the Old
| ticket was shown to be in the lead. 1t
may be that these publications were the
work Of a literary bureau, and that the
wires in favor Of the old ticket have been
/ pulled for months without exciting the
suspicious Of The public. There is no rea-
son why the old ticket should be the favor
/ tie. The failure tonominate the old ticket
/ in 1850 destroyed whatever reason there
was for nominating it. There are men
among the Democratic leaders who are
personally more popular than Tilden.

There is a sensational rumOr atlOat in
New York that the Manitobans are meet
ing with substantial encouragement in
their secession demonstrations from
prominent Irish Americans in Chicago
and the East. The report says that on the
9TH of March the ManitObans Will hold a
convention at Winnipeg ostensibly for the
redress of grievances, but that the real
object is to declare the independence Of
the province, and set up a separate
government under a constitution pat
erned after the States of the American
Union; that early in the summer dele
CATION will be sent to Washington to
formally apply for admission to the Union
after the manner Of Texas. 1t is stated
that 10000 well armed Irish Americans
will be ready to march across the
border from Northern Dakota to assist
the ManitObans in case the Dominion
should Try to prevent the separation
by force. If the ManitObans really intend
TO secede they had as we'll make up their
minds to fight. 1t is hardly probable that
either the dominion Of Canada or the home
government will be willing to let such
valuable province slip out of their grasp
without an effort to retain it, and from the
weakness OF the province both in men and
money it will be i'll able to cope with its
present masters. The United States can
give it no encouragement, and it could
have no formal recognition by this govern
ment until Its independence is recognized
by England. 1t Will probably be a long
time before the Manitobans realize their
dream of liberty, and it would be well for
them to beware Of taking any rash steps
in that direction.

The proDosad extension Of the streets
south of Anderson street Is now being
mapped out preparatory 70 submitting 10
Council a plan for opening up the thor
o1rbfsras in the new part Of the city. In
extending the streets. especially Bull
street unite a number Of houses viii have
% lie moved from their present locations
in order TO conform TO the proposed new
lines. This viii entail a very heavy ex-
peuse upon the city, not only in damages
% property. but in purchasing rights Of
way. or course 1t is desirable
to save where it can be done
without materially changing the general
plan. In extending Bull street much eX-
pense could be saved by using the line OF
the White Bluf road. This line conforms
very nearly % the present line OF the
street. and the roadway would cost the
city nothing. and there could be no
damages against the city. as no improve
mants would be disturbed. The objection
that it would iniure the appear
ance 0f the street TO change It's
present line. can be removed by
widening the street on the west side
from New Houston street south Of the
Park extension TO Anderson street. The
Improvements to be moved would be few,
/. any. and only a small amount Of land
would nave To De purchased, and the cost
% The latter might be offset by a sale Of q
ike strip Of ground on the east side Of the
street. Something Of this kind would give
q straight thor0ughfare frem the Parkex-
tension over the White Bluff road, and the
detection Of the street from that portion Of
10 north OF CASTOR street. it being
"a halt mile distant and with the Park and
Park extension Intervening, would never
be noticed. y large amount Ofmoney can
be saved to the city by this plan. 1t IS the
suggestion Of an experienced engineer,
and the MORNING NEWS gives it as such.
Its merit viii be at once appreciated by
