Mr.. Barbour.

In the political world, whatever con-
Germs JOHN S. BARBOUR is apt to be
matter of interest to the people of Nir-
ginia. We copy therefore from Wash
ington letter in the Alexandria Gazctte
the following:
Standardized Barbour when asked
by the GazeHe'S correspondent this
morning if he intended to retain his
present position rs chairman of the
Democratic committee of his State and
conduct the next campaign there, re-
piled that he had held that position
long time at great personal trouble and
expense, and that though his heart was
and would remain with the Virginia
Democracy as long as 1t continued
to throb. he thought it no more
than right that he should be re-
lieved now, and the duties of the posi-
ton referred to be intrusted to younger
gentleman. Then, too, he continued,
he thought it highly probable that some
other Virginia Democrat could be select
ed who would be more acceptable to the
Administration as the leader of the party
in Virginia than himself, as it was evl-
dent that the powers that be are by no
means well disposed towards him. This
taken in connection with the preceding
paragraph will afford those addicted to
conjectures material upon which to
work.
The preceding paragraph " reads as
follows:
1.-THE knowledge of this strong oppo-
sition to the Presidents denomination
was first developed at the recent meeting
in this city of the National Democratic
Committee, fully two thirds of whom
were then found to be snti-Cleveland
men. The opposition seems TO have
centered upon Governor Hill, Of New
York, whose placeas Governor, 1t is said,
may be filed by Mayor Hewitt. The
President recently, through bis private
secretary. Mr.. Lamont. invited, so
the current rumor is, prominent
Democratic politicians from differ
ent parts of New York State to
meet him here in consultation, and when
they came told them he would not allow
bis name to 60 before the National De-
mocratic Convention for denomination
unless he had a solid delegation from his
own State, and that as neither his posi-
ton nor his regard for consistency would
allow him to make n fight for such a
delegation that must be left to them. 1t
is understood that Governor Hills
friends are making an active fight in
every county in the State, and that
while Tammany Hall is for Bill, the
County Democracy is for Hewitt.

FIVE members be appointed by the
Speaker to proceed at once TO Chicago
ana there investigate the condition OF
affairs in relation to said strike, aud that
they be empowered and requested to act
az medistors between the Chicago, Bur
linoton and Quincy Railroad Company
and Chief Arthur and bring about a set
Element OF the pending troubles and
differences which will be amicable and
agreeable to both parties, so that the
strike will terminate. Referred to the
Committee on Commerce.
By Mr.. Breckenridge, OF Kentucky !;
Declaring "trusts unlawful.
By Mr.. Thomas, of Wisconsin To
define "rusts and prohibit "trusts "
from carrying on interstate commerce.
By Mr.. Breckenridge, of Arkansas:
To anticipate the payment Of interest on
the bonded debt and to provide for a
special deposit OF public money.
The House then took up the McDuffie-
Davidson (Alabama) contested-election
case.
Mr.. Mash, of Pennsylvania, opened
the case for the contestee, and denying
the statement made in the minority re-
port that the case involved no legal
question proceeded 10 discuss the legal
bearings of the contest as well as the
facts elected in the testimony, which he
contended was utterly insufficient to
prove the allegations of fraud by the
contestant.
MIR. Simmons, Of North Carolina, fol-
lowed with brief speech on the same
side.
Mr.. Lodge, of Massachusetts, said the
case illustrated the advance of civiliza-
ton in the Fourth Alabama district In
stead of resorting to the jack, boot, and
bre-pollcy, the DEMOCRATS had resorted
to fraud upon the ballot-box in order to
overcome the Republican majority.
There was evidence of general fraud
throughout the district, while the poll
lists of Selma precinct showed that the
"sheeted dead were made to vote. OF
course they voted the Democratic ticket.
He reviewed in detail the testimony
taken in regard to the votes given at va
rious precincts to substantiate the charge
Of fraud, which he declared was found to
exist wherever it was probed for. For
the good name of Congress and IN the
name of honest elections he believed the
House should reject the sitting member
and seat the contestant.
Mr.. Cultivate, OF Ohio, congratulated
the Republicans as TO the progress they
had made in their doctrine as TO what
should be zone with the negro vote.
Heretofore they had been satisfied to
assume and declare that the negro vote
belonged to Republican candidates, but
here they advanced step farther and
asserted that the negro vote must be
cast for Republican candidate, but not
for q colored Republican. He referred
to the fact that the minority report COM
planned that while Turner (colored), in
dependent Republican candidate, did
not receive 100 votes, the returns had
given him 2,5l9 votes. He then pro-
ceeded to speak in support of the ma
jority report.
Alr. howell, of Illinois, briefly advo-
Gated the minority report, and then the
case went over TIL tomorrow.
Adjourned.

TUESDAY. MARCH 6. 1888
The Tobacco Tax.

Az this time the Committee OF Ways
and Means Of the national House OF
REPRESENTATIVES. is considering the propo-
sition TO abolish the tax on all manu-
factures of tobacco. II is a subject in
which all the people of Virginia and
North Carolina feel deep interest, be-
cause il is one that comes home to their
pockets. They oppose and denounce
this tax not simply because Congress has
no more right TO tax tobacco than it has
10 tax any other agricultural product,
but for other good reasons.
The business OF manufacturing tobac-
co, cigars, cigarettes, &C., &C, is serious
" damaged by the mere assembling OF
Congress. How is it possible forpersons
engaged in making either of those arti-
cles TO know what is to be the result OF
the annual agitation Of the proposition
70 abolish or reduce the tax on them ?
This agitation is actually more hurtful
10 the business of the persons concerned
than would be the retention of the tax
forever if it were only known that 1t
was 10 be so retained. The agitation
and the consequent apprehension that
manufacturers will lose on all their tax
paid tobacco tend inevitably to paralyze
business.
Will it be said that the remedy is to
cease the agitation of the subject? But
this cannot be expected SO long as hui
man nature is what it is. The planter
feels deeply aggrieved that he is always
under the surveillance OF Government
officials, not to say spies and informers,
and resents the imputation cast upon his
calling, not to say upon his honesty, by
a law which denies to him the right to
sell his tobacco to whOmsoever he viii.
He will listen to nobody who asks him to
cease the agitation of the proposition to
abolish all taxes upon tobacco.
But the planter is damaged in another
way. He is not only not allowed 10 sell
his tobacco without being subjected to
official surveillance, Dut the demand for
tobacco is diminished by tax which
amounts to more than the average price
OF common tobaccos. A tax OF eight
dollars per hundred is an incredibly
oppressive tax. 1t operates to destroy
competition amongst the purchasers, and
10 keep down the number of fac
tories Enterpising young men OF
limited means cannot afford to pay
over a hundred dollars tax on one
hogshead of tobacco. Go to one
OF our tobacco warehouses in this city
and calculate the tax upon its contents
and then ask yourselves whether or not
you can censure the planters for de-
nouncing law which drains their purses
10 the bottom, limits the number of pur-
chassrs of tobacco. destroys competi-
ton in manufacturing, and Furnishes the
planters if they exercise the right ac-
corded to tine owners of all other agri-
cultural products of selling them where
and to whom they will :?

sherman Explains.

JOIN SHERMAN, in letter to gentle
man OF Louisville, KY, says:
"You are certainly right that there
was no difference in sentiment or pnr-
pose between my speeches at Nashville
and Springfield. "
That is half true, but only half true.
There can be no question that JOINS
purpose was the same in both speeches.
he wanted to cajole bis audience and
catch their votes. That he still hopes to
hoodwink the South is proved 10y the
following appeal for southern votes with
which his letter concludes
81 do not wish to revive the ami
mosities OF the war. and what / said
there of Confederate soldiers, their hon
esty and courage, have said over and
over again in the North. My arraign-
ment Of the Democratic party at Spring
field is also historically true and entirely
consistent with my Nashville speech. L
do think the Democratic party OF the
North during and since the war has oc-
CuDleu u MOlcC DOoAtAOh NAoA VIZ
Confederates Of the South. The latter
fought openly for what they conceived
to be right while the Democratic organi-
cation did precisely what | said they did
IN my speech at Springfield. What |
desire in the future is a frank aud full
discussion of the policy of protection as
it affects the industry and prosperity of
our people North and South. The south
ern people ought 10 faithfully observe
the fifteenth amendment, and to make
no distinction on account of race and
color in the right TO vote, and TO have
that vote counted. The difficulty in the
way of enforcing This amendment ought
to he an appeal 70 their patriotism to
support alike every clause OF the Constr
tuition.
Regarding the sentiment of the two
speeches, however. JOHN would better
have reserved his affirmation on that
point for the edifcation of the marines.
The general public regard it pretty much
in the light they would statement that
his cry for free vote and fair count
is consistent with the great electoral
vote burglary he perpetrated on Louisi-
ana several Years ago.
