There Will be Harmony,

The Republican newspapers are very
busy just now In seeking to create the
belief that there is serious dissension in
the Democratic ranks in the matter of
the tariff, and they even go 80 far AZ 10
charge that Speaker Carlisle and his
friends are seeking to read Mr.. Randall
and the Pennsylvania Democrats out of
the party. OF course, they do not be
heve this, for they can hardly be so
stupid, 1t Is remarkable, though, that
they should be willing to print SO trans
parently stupid story. 1t is manifest
enough that Mr.. Randall and his fellow
congressman from Pennsylvania will
not desire TO take position ON the
tariff question which the national De
mocracy will not adopt and Il
is just as clear that Mr.. Carlisle
and those representing districts no
particularly interested in manufacturing
will not desire to assume any position OF
the tariff which the Democratic repre
sentatives Of manufacturing districts will
revolt from. Whatever may be the diff
ferences In the doctrines OF the different
Democratic representatives 1t is certain
that none Of them wish to read any OF
their brethren out of their party, but
that all havea strong disposition
to promote party unity and to
that end will be ready to surrender some
thing to the opinions of each other.
Democratic leaders are not fools, as the

DuPREZ's MiSsTREL,.
Moro Performers Than Talent.

On Saturday night the minstrel troupe
of Charles II. Duprez appeared in the
opera house before one Of the largest audi.
dences of the season. Every part of the
building was filled and standing room
could scarcely DO had. The display made
on the street by the company assisted
them greatly in drawing, as they had a
very large party, which was led by good
band. The show is not first-class by any
means, as Duprez always travels on a
cheap scale, employing men, large num-
Der Of whom are amateurs, at very low
prices.
The best Of the performance was the
first part, in which 40 people, including a
number Of dummies, were seen. There
were fourteen end men, attired in gaudy
suits the singing was fair, but most of
the jokes and stories Of tho comedians
were very bad. Features Of part second
worthy of mention were the singing of the
Baltimore quartette aud the speciality OF
J. NJ. Johnson. The clog dancing was
clever, but the song and dance were not.
Ari Holston is a very poor female imper-
senator, and his act was on par with that
OF Swift and Chase, alleged musical
mOkes. The entertainment closed with a
burlesque opera entitled PATHS Ad-
vent" The show appears in Columbia
tonight.

Republican journals would argue. Mr..
Mutchler, Pennsylvania congressman,
expresses the general feeling of the
Democratic representatives of the state
when he says that he will not resist fair
and moderate tariff reduction; and few
Democratic representatives will desire to
urge any other. Mr.. Carlisle Is well
known to be conservative in his views
upon tariff reduction and to favor 70
great change at present. There Will be
entire Democratic harmony in what is

An Eighteen HUNDRED Dollar organ.

One of the finest musical instruments
ever brought to this city is an organ,
which was imported from Baden by Geo.
Kircher, proprietor of tho Eagle hotel,
East King street, and is now on exhibition
in his barroom. The instrument is very
large and has pipes, horns, drums, &c,
with roller similar to those in music
boxes, but great deal larger. 1t plays 20
tunes and the music is similar to that of

greater part of the space behind the bar
and reaching in height to the ceiling. 1t
is brand new and was made In Waldrch.
Mr.. Kircher received it on Saturday.

MONDAY EVENING, JAN. IA, 1854.
The Tax on sumatra.

According to the decision OF Secre-
tAry Folger, agreeably to the wishes Of
The tobacco dealers and home raisers,
though contrary to their expecta-
tions, all Sumatra tobacco ft for
wrappers is to be taxed as such at
the new duty, 75 cents per pound, and 1t
will not render q package liable only to
the 35 cent duty to make it up of 81 per
cent. wrappers aud l6 per cent. fllers, as
had been devised In order to evade the
spirit of the law. 1t seems that previous
constructions of the tariff laws have
been to the effect that when two
articles are wrapped together the
whole package must either pay
the tax on the higher article or each
bear its own rate, and Secretary Folger,
overruling French, declares that pack.
age made up partly Of Sumatra wrap
pers and partly of filters, by hands, can
bs 80 separated for taxable purpose as TO
impose the higher duty on the wrapper
tobacco.
The secretary with his usual caution
does not wish to be understood as
making his final decision in this matter
to this effect, but only makes 1t the
ruling Of the custom house authorities
80 as to put the burden of the appeal
upon the importers.
As nobody except few importers
and the diplomatic representative of the
Netherlands Is said to be much interest
ed In importing Sumatra tobacco the
Lancaster county farmers and packers
will now have all the advantages which
they claimed they would have been de
prived of had the attempt of the i'm.
porters to evade the law prevailed
We suspect, however, that these ad-
vantages will not be so great as has
been excitedly claimed nor is it tru,
that the present dullness in the tobacco
trade is due entirely to the agitation o.
the Sumatra question and the uucer
tainty of its issue. 1t seems to be agreed
that In the very large tobacco factories
which depend mostly on the appearance
Of their product to sell them, the Su
matra leaf Is desirable. From three Il
four pounds of 1t will wrap a Thousand
cigars, because it is light in weight
thin and smooth, the leaf short
and wide, cuts to advantage, there
is little waste and 1t is free from heavy
coarse veins At from 81 40 TO Sl.60 pei
pound which it commanded under the olt
duty it would be used more freely thar
at from sl.S0 to 81, which will be asked
for it at the new and higher duty. But
il first class Pennsylvania wrappers
wrapping !, 900 cigars to six or sever
pounds, can bs had at from 40 to 8
cents per pound, which affords a goo,
profit to the grower aud dealer, all manu-
facturers who look to the quality of thei
goods will prefer it. The flavor is vastl
preferable to that Of the Sumatra, O
rather to the latter's lack of 1t. Th
lesson to the Lancaster county grove
simply is to raise better tobacco, by tn
cultivation of Havana seed or othC
means. 1t will always command goo
prices and need fear no foreign rival.

howard Glars Narrow Escape FROM DeaGn.
A passenger on the fast line from Phla.
delphia on Saturday gives an interesting
account of the narrow escape OF Howard
Clair, of MastersOnvlle, whose team, as
already noticed in the INTELLIGENCER,
was struck by that train at the same
crossing where last summer a man and
his wife and a ibhbor girl were
killed on their way to black berry patch
early in the morning. AS seen from the
train Mr. Clair, driving a horse in n sleigh,
was coming toward the track. He noticed
that he could not cross in time and en-
deavored 10 check his horse. The animal
was wild one and dashed ahead. Rec.
Oguizug his danger as the beast ap-
preached the track the man let go the
lines and threw himself out of the hind
end of the sleigh. lie was not second
too soon. AS he struck the snow the
locomotive struck the horse and carried
the animal with the sleigh attached for q
a distance of about thirty feet, killing the
beast almost instantly and making kind
ling wood out of the sleigh. Both the
horse and sleigh were finally thrown over
a steep embankment. The man was not
injured in the least.
a gentleman from Mount Joy, informed
OF the particulars of the acc dent, says
Clair did not jump from the sleigh when
he saw no could not avoid a collision,
but was thrown from it when the engine
struck the horse and demolished the
sleigh The horse and sleigh belonged to
Mr.. ZoOk son of the hotel keeper
at Mastersonylle. Clair might easily
have avoided the accident, as he had q
clear view of the railroad two hundred
yards from the crossing. He appeared to
be talking to some boys who were han ging
to his sleigh just before the accident took
place.
