LANCASTEK DAILY KlTl J4GENCEB, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1882. I ft lUnrasln. lUrUcfleam TUESDAY EVENING. OCTOBEE 3, 1882. A Dismal Nomination. Of the candidates of the Republican party for the state offices in New York one so far has declined and one has ac cepted the nomination. Congressman at large Hepburn thinks that the " un fortunate circumstances that have come to light since the adjournment of the convention " make&Jt advisable that the representatives of the party should be raissembled to do their work over again ; and he resigns his nomination under that conviction. The nominee for governor takes a different view. He thinks that there is no good reason to believe that the result of the convention was not fairly arrived at or that it will not be acquiesced m by the party. But, con ceding that he is going to be beaten, he considers it to be his duty to go gaily to the sacrifice. His withdrawal would, in his judgment, result in the total collapse of the Republican party in the state, since it could not be reassembled before the election, and if it could be, it would not be able to get a candidate who would hold the party together. It must be conceded that Judge Fol gers position, so far as his party is con cerned, is a strong one. Mr. Lincoln's sound maxim that it is not well to swap horses while crossing a stream comes into good play here. The injury done the Republican ticket by its fraudulent nomination can hardly be remedied by admitting tfie fraud and setting up an other ticket. That injury is irremedi able. The party would be very apt to go to pieces in any effort to remedy it. It: b33t plan i3 that which Judge Foiger dictates to it ; but it is not the best plan for himself. If lie is sincere in declaring tbathedo83 not want the nomination and never did, and only now accepts it from his conviction of what is best for his party, he deserves a good deal more credit for his magnanimity than he is likely to get. He would gain more applause by declining a nomination fraudulently obtained. It is what ho ought to do for his own reputation. It is not right in him to accept such a nomination ; although it be admitted that it is the best thing he can do for his party. IIo isnot bound to sacrifice himself to his party, or to accept a dirty nomination for its sake. There is, as we have said, a certain magnanimity in such conduct ' such as lies in every sacrifice, how ever mistakenly or uuworthily made. It springs from a generous impulse which is itself worthy of applause, but would be worthier if it was more wisely directed. It might have been a ailfish impulse which woul.l have di rected Judge Foiger to decline a nomi nation which lie believed would only bring him defeat ; but it is often right to be selfish ; and this wa? such a case. There may be reasons of which we know nothing inducing Judge Foiger to accept such a forlorn candidacy as has been put upon him. Certainly a secretary of the treasury cannot bo very desirous of be ing set up to bo knocked down for the office of governor ; and ho must dearly love his party if it is for its sake only that he consents to be thus abused. A Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Times s:iys that Foiger is unhappy in his relations with the presi dent, whose devices are too low for him to accept and who interferes to make unlit treasury appointments. The president wants to get rid of his secretary and tho secretary of his president. But this may be as baseless as most Washington tales ; only it gives a motive for Folgers resort to even the dismal nomination he has in New York to get away from Washington and Arthur. ' -- A Most Hopeless Cause. The hopeful tone of Gen. Beaver's speech at the Philadelphia meeting of his party on Saturday was in part in spired by his surroundings. A torch light parade, the blaze of red fire, the blare of brass bands and the howling of a few thousand partisans are apt to make a candidate forget that all of these accessories to a political meeting neither change nor influence any votes. They merely indicate that that many of the partisan friends of the candidate are willing to make that sort of a display of their partisanship. But Beaver's expres sion of such confidence in his elec tion as no sagacious person cherished was inspired mainly by the desperation of his cause. At a meeting of himself and Cooper and Quay and Cameron in Philadelphia last week, it was discovered by a comparison of notes that the condi tion of their party has created a feeling of despondency in its ranks from which they must find immediate relief. The general distrust of the present campaign management, t'so indisposition of lead ing Republicans of Pennsylvania to speak for Beaver and their ignorance of what to say, the defection of leaders by scores and of rank and file by thousands, the failure of the attempted tariff .scare and of other campaign devices, and even the unwillingness of hitherto liberal con tributors to Republican campaign funds, have effectually frightened " the gang,"' and they resolved that tho only way to create a reaction in their favor was by the policy of " bluff." Cameron assured his agents of an abundant supply of money. If the pro ceeds of the blackmail and blood money run short the private fortunes of tho bosses are to be drawn upon to save them from political destruction. But these means to debauch the state are not suf ficient to win the struggle. The dispir ited workers must have some assurances of success ; and the order has been issued that it be given to them regardless of truth. Beaver, who now takes his orders as meekly as any of them, starts off by proclaiming his own election and all over the state, this week, by arrangement, the moribund Stalwart cause is to be revived with an avowal of confidence in his election. Bets are to be offered here and there and loud boasts are to be indulged in everywhere, with the single purpose of encouraging the sickly Stalwarts and of seeking to alarm buoyant Democrats. The political situation in this state has not changed in the slightest in the past week or even in the past few weeks, except that the Independents have daily gained strength and that the Democrats bare daily increased their chances of a fall and solid party vote. There is less ground of belief now than there has been at any previous stageof the cam paign of Beaver polling 300,000 votes ; there is more reason than there has been at any time for the expectation that Stewart will get 100,000 votes ; and there is no principle of political calculation which will justify the fear of Pattison's vote being below 350,000. The last of these figures are more apt to be increased than either of the others. Their logical conclusion is as certain as it is satisfac tory. One of the reasons why Beaver fears to meet Stewart is that Stewart is pre pared to show that Beaver could have been a Republican United States senator from this state, except that he insisted upon being a Cameron United States sen ator. When those who bolted Oliver were offered Beaver they were willing to take him on conditions which he declined and which Stewart will be glad for an occasion to make public. . The rats aro deserting the sinking ship. Henry Ward Beecher will not support Foiger. The lady correspondents aro discussing the question whether it is proper to speak of Mrs. Burnett, tho novelist's love of dress. A lady may love to dress with good taste, and may have an innocent liking for egant.clotbing without giving up her whole time and heart to it, and Mrs. Bur nett's books show that .she has a great deal of hard work to do. The notorious Harry Iluhn, clork of the House, whose personal compensation is $3,972 per annum, and who has charge of tho disbursement of nearly $11,000, he sides for " contingent expenses, etc.," is an earnest supporter of Beaver. IIo well knows that the wholesale jobbery that has mado Peunsy'vania a by-word and a reproach among her sister states will cease with the election of Robert E. Pattison. j "Tiicke is a profligacy that invades ' r.ystcms, that is wrapped up in statutes, that has the protection of law and tho warrant of long usage. It is the growth of years, has been lino upon line written into our legislation, represents tho con centrated ingenuity of a succession of public plunders and extends from tho highest department in tho state to the lowest iu the municipality." From Patltr yon's Commomcealth Club Speech. m m PERSONAL. Mn. Hackat, the millionaire, recently piid $20,000 for four California colts. Ex-Goveknok Fenton, of New Yoik, is expected toopposo Candidate Foiger. j Dr. Pusey was buried in the same ; vault where the body ot his wife was placed forty years ago. Father Hyacinths now fears that tho war in Franca against the Catholic church may become a war against the Christian religion. Dr. McCosii, presidoul of Princeton college, contemplates making an effort to interest tho students of that institution in civil service reform. Kossuth recently celebrated tho eighty first anniversary of his birth and the thirty-third of his condemnation to death ! as a traitor. Mrs. Langtry, arriving at St. Moritz on a chilly and dismal day, and being warned by a physician that such weather thero would impair tho delicacy of her skin, packed immediately in a fright, and got. away as soon as possible. Ex-Senator Wallace and cx-Spcaker Randall will open the Democratic cam paign in Philadelphia at Industrial hall on next Saturday evening. Arrange ments aro in progress for a big demonstra tion. Leclanche, the famous French electri cian, who died tho other day, was only forty-three years old. He left an enor mous fortune to his young wife and two babes. In politics ho was one of the most irreconcilable Radicals in Rockcfort's clique. Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) be gan an action iu tho United States circuit court at Chicago against Bclford, Clark & Co., publishers of that city, to restrain them from continuing the publication of a book entitled "Sketches, by Mark Twain," and to compel an accounting on the profits already acquired. M. Bartholdi's colossal statuo of " Liberty " may go to Boston instead of to New York. The latter city virtually accepted tho gilt in 1876. but has not pro vided the pedestal, which would cost about $200,000. The lukewarm way in which tho Now York people have treated the French givers has led the Fre:.ch com mittee having tho matter in hand to oiler the statue to Boston. Tho statue is nearly completed aud will arrive iu America in 1883. Queen Marguerite, of Italy, will not speak the Piedmoutese dialect, which tLe king likes, but the best Italian, and has a Florentine servant Aov her boy. She speaks German with her mother, and is also familiar with French and English. She likes a little S.rdioip.n wine in tv.iter, but her physician, a Neapolitan, named Do Martini, who is very temperate in his living, has persuadsd her r.nd the king to drink water, the king himself never touching -wine. Oliver Wendell Holmes recently wrote to a lady correspondent in Eng land : "Wo are all burned np with drouth in this part of New England, hut wo think more of your country and its troubles than wo do of our own btown i'wAusi anil shrivelled harvests. We count every drop of English blood that sinks into the sands of Egypt almost as if i, wer. from the veins of our countrymen. The midc standing between tho educated classes of the two countries, and their sympathy with each other, grow witli every year. I have had myself so many kindly tokens of regard from England that, I a'tnost feoi as if I had my home thero." No Hope for Mason. Judges Wallace and Cox have refused to grant a writ of habeas corpus in tho Mason caso. Tho decision was rendered immediately after the argument of coun sel and without the judges leaving tho bench, after General Bigelow finished his argument in favor of the writ. The court held that they woro precluded by tho opinion of Chief Justice Waito, given at the October term of 1881 from determin ing any question in the case, except the power of judge advocate general to re verse a decision of court-martial. Judge Advocate Gardner was heard on that point. In rendering its decision tho coutt held that a judge advocate general was simply an advising official of the war de partment, and that Congress never in tended to give him power to reverse the findings of a court martial. SKART REPORTERS. HowtWM " Interviews are Made. Mr. Hensel, chairman of the Democrat io state committee, happened to be in New York on Monday and dropped into the Democratic state committee rooms at the Park Avenue hotel. In the Evening telegram appearca tno louowmg : Among the carlv visitors were cx-Jndm Hilton, senator Daly, Colonel Lee. Felix Mc Closkey, ot Brooklyn ; Frank J. Dapignac, ot New Rocnelle ; Samuel W. Johnson, orilama roncck, ana William U. Hensel, chairman ot tne democratic state committee or Pennsyl vania. The last named contlemai was the w clpfont of many congratulations on thoex- ceueniucKei wuicn nas;uecn piaceu in the Held in the Keystone state. " What do vou think of the New York state ucKeiT" askcu a Telegram reporter of Mr. Hensel. " I am elaI vou asked me." was th reniv. " for it has given an immense Impulse to the uinvuw iu our biaie. it is no exaggeration to state that the nomination of Cleveland in this state will roll up an increased majority for Pattison in ours. By the way, tne young thoroughly permeated Pennsylvania that you will witness a must extraordinary revolution in politics there between this time and elec tion day. That boom has settled the o nrsi ion ot Pattison's election, although I had no doubt oi ine resmt irom ine oeginning. You would be surprised at the uprising ot tho young men against bossism and dictation it you came into some of the Republican counties in our state. It is the greatest revival in politics in mv reauiruuun." " You leel convinced, then, that both Pattl son and Cleveland will he elected" " I do not pretend to be a prophet, but I am as firmly convinced ot that result as that you and I stand here. I am not an enthusiast, but any close political observer will see that the tine is turning, wnero it win stop no one can foresee." Senator Dalv. who heard this conversation. followed with an indorsement ot Mr. Ilcusel's views, I had occasion," said tLe senator, -to travel recently turougu several liepuDiican counties in Pennsylvania, and was astonished to find the change among the masses. In Ilonesdale and Ilawley, Wayne county, was I most surprised. That county lonnerlv save from 1.5jO to 2,0,0 Republican majority, but irom tne present outiooK tne majority will be 1,0j0 or more on the other side." How do you account for this?" "Tho young men's boom has more to do wimitinananyiiungcise. lou caniomino Idea ot the enthusiasm which Pattison's nom ination has created. Why, in the Utile village of Bethany, ashort distance trom Ilonesdale, 1 was amused to s-ee on a large calico poster on a cross read, 'Now young men, li'ivo a last chance. Low in Brooklyn, Pattison la Penn sylvania and Cleveland In New York. Who can stem this tide V I wa- alone when I saw this, but I stopped and read It over and over, and I have reflected on it from that hour. The only feeling it created in my mind was one ot regret that we have, not half the spirit in this ciiy which was displayed by those simple, rus tics in Bethany." The truth is that when Mr. Hensel called at the New York stato committeo on Monday thero was no one within sight or car shot except a solitary secretary ; Mr. Hensel neither saw nor talked with any reporter, nor was any person preseut to meet him or to overhear the brief inter change of hopeful views between the representatives of tho organizations of the two states. Tho allejjed interview is a complcto fabrication perhaps it is a sam ple nl metropolitan newspaper work. m m TillS PENNSYLVANIA RATrLK. A Republican Paper Reviews the Independ ent Strength. N. Y. Times, Leading Republican Paper. From all parts of the state come reports of Independent strength far in advance of Wolfe's vote of last year. In Allegheny, to the inexpressible disgust of "Chris" Magec and all the bosses, and in spite of their most active grinding at the machine crank, Congressman Baync, who is an enemy of the Cameron domination,' has been renominated, and us the Democrats have declined to put up any candidate against mm he is sure ot election. This fact is not without its significance in the State contest. The business men of Alle gheny are coming out for Stewart to an ex tent that shows how little effect Mr. Cameron's silly tariff scare has had. Wolfe's vote in Allegheny county was 5,948. It is claimed with a good show of reason that Stewart will poll more than twice as many. This report of the cer tain doubling or trebling of Wolfe's vote comes from a great number of towns and counties, while in many places where the Independent votes or last year were ex pressed by a single figure they will be reckoned this year in nines and hundreds. With the exception of a few of the leading workers in Beaver's cause, it is said that the Stalwarts themselves now give up the tight and conccae tne uclcat ot their can didate. They have discovered that in ad dition to the damaging taint of subserviency to boss dictation, Gen. Beaver has not those personal elements of strength which they had been led to suppose he would exhibit. The " old soldiers "do not rally round him with the hoped for unanimity, and in his own town and county there is a discourag ing: number of Independents. The more hopeful Independents are now claiming for Stewart as many as 150,000 votes. No careful observer of the contest credits him with less than 75,000, while 100,000 is the common figure. Tne lowest of these esti mates is high enough to beat Cameron's ticket. m i Heaver's Betrayal of Trust. TnE Republican organs have received orders that they must make some defense for Beaver's treachery to his constituents when he voted for Grant at Chicago. The following clipped from the Lock Haven Republican, the leading Republican paper of Beaver's district incontrivertibly proves that the Republican candidate for Governor betrayed his trust : " The delegates from this congressional district to the Ilarrisburg convention met in caucus on the evening of the 3d of Feb ruary, 1880, at which a resolution was offered declaring it to be the sense of the caucus that the Republicans of the district are largely in favor of the nomination of James G. Blaine for president. After the passage of the resolution the question as to whether any or all the gentlemen who were asked to go to Chicago would sup port Blaine, regardless of the instructions the convention might pass was fully dis cussed. Mr. L. Brosius, one of the dele gates chosen and who was there agreed to abide by the instructions contained in the resolutions of the caucus. General Beaver was not here, but 'was represented by a delegate from Centre, who voted for the resolution of the caucus and claimed that Beaver had authorized him to say that he (Beaver) would faithfully represent the wishes of the Republicans of the district. With these assurances he was elected. The following resolutions was passed by the Republican congressional conference at Lock Haven, in 1880. " Resolved, that we the delegates from the 20th congressional district of Pennsyl vania, composed of the counties of Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk, Mifllin and Union, do hereby express as the conviction of the people of the counties which we represent, that James G. Blaine is themost competent and trustworthy candidate now before the people for the nomination of president of the United Slates, and wc do hereby heart ily recommend the delegates elected from our district to the national convention at Chicago to use every honorable means to secure his nomination by that body." And yet Beaver voted for Grant to please Cameron and to get the nomination for governor which had been denied to him in 1878. He admitted that his constituents were for Blaine, but, he said " our people at Washington think it better that Grant be nominated," and the people of Penn sylvania do not want a governor who takes his orders from "our people at Washington." Riotous Telegraph Messengers. Tho American district telegraph com pany, at Chicago, discharged all tho mes senger boys who struck on Saturday, and advertised for othets. Monday morning the discharged boys gathered near tho company's office, prepaied to attack their successors, and a police patrol was called out to suppress tho riotous gamins. NEWS MISCELLAM. INTERNATIONAL COMPLICATIONS. An American Citizen Arrested In Germany for Criticisms tne JSmperor The Span- lsn Minister and His Dead Dog. Great excitement has been caused in tho city of Dayton, O., over the report of the arrest and imprisonment ot nr. v n Ham Egry, a well-known citizen of that place, who, it is said, on the authority of a cablegram, was arrested at Obcrkirchen, Germany, for alleged seditions utterance against the Emperor William. The mes sage says that he has been sentenced to four years' imprisonment for the offense. Dr. Egry left Dayton about a year ago at the request of his wife, who . desired to live with her aged father until his death, when they would return to this city. He consented to go with her, and since leaving has practiced medicine in Germany. Ho has been living in that country as an Ameri can citizen, inasmuch as ho intended to re turn to Dayton as soon as his father-in-law died and his large estates were settled When a citizen of Dayton he was remark ably outspoken and figured prominently as a German Democratic speaker. It is as serted that since going to Germany ho has not hesitated to denounce Emperor Wil Ham's policy on various occasions, aud this has caused his arrest. If nothing can be done by his German friends, efforts will be made to bring the case to the attention of President Arthur and the American minister at Berlin. Newport, R. I., is threatened with an international complication over a canine, a valuable pet dog, belonging to M. Da Barcar, the Spanish minister, who is oc cupying a cottage there, .that was recently stolen. Tho theft was traced to a lager beer bottler, named Trager, who got frightened, killed and buried tne dog, aud now confesses to having stolen it. Tho minister has telegraphed Secretary of Stato J? rcliusriiuyson to have justice done him, and Trager will doubtless bo visited with the severest punishment the law allows. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. Haines and Clement Must go to the Peni tentiary. The supreme court, sitting at Pitts burgh, has rendered a decision in the ap peal of Haines and Clement, convicted of conspiracy in connection with highway department contracts iu Philadelphia. Judge Stcrrctt delivered the opinion. Tho caso was appealed to the supreme court on tho right of the commonwealth to stand aside jurors in case of misdemoanor, and the court decided, after live months deliberation, that the district attorney had tho right to challengo jurors. Tho find ing of the lowsr court was affirmed, and tho costs of the appeal were put upon the appellants. This decision leaves no es cape from the penitentiary for the defend ants. Unless they aro surrendered by their bondsmen before a certified copy of tho opinion roaches District Attorney Graham ho will apply to tho supreme court for a warrant upon which they mav be apprehended. Judge Storrett also rendered tho deci sion iu tho Robert Lister Smith appeal. Smith' is now serving his sentence iu pri son. The coutt sustains Judge Brigsjs iu his decisions on the trial and dismisses the appeal. The court affirms the liudiug of the lower coitrts in City vs. Wrights, aud Malono vs. City. Judge Truukey decided that a railroad company must honor its tickets no mat ter who soils them, and that therefore tho ticket on its face entitles the holder to tho rights of a passunger between tho points named on it. This reverses tho decision of the lower court aud pute a now phase ou the ticket sealpiug question. A Suit Involving 8450,000. The trial of a bank suit involving $450, 000 is in progress iu the circuit court at Troy, N. Y. The action is brought by the lion. C. E. Patterson, receiver of the Merchants aud .Mechanics bank of Troy, which failed in 1878, against D. Thomas Vail, Charles R. Church, James E. Pink ham, Daniel Robinson and Frances Sims. Tho complaint charges, iu brief, that tho defendants, who arc alleged to have been largely interested, in a financial tense, iu tho Merchants and Mechanics hank and tho Schaghticoko woolen mills, connived to defraud tho bank of about $450,000, and thus caused the failure of tho institu tion. The bank handled large amounts of the woolen mills' paper. Most of tho de fendants aro wealthy, and all have occu pied high social positions. Norristoun's Town Council. The trouble which has existed in the Norristown town council since last April, has ended by tho fusionist returning to the council. They will issue a manifesto to voters giviug their reasons for this action. An ordinance granting the right of way over Lafayette street to the Philadelphia, Norristown and Phtonixvillo railroad led to an exciting discussion, and was finally referred to a committeo ol five, who aio to see tho officers of the new company and try to protect property holders on that street. A Desperate llorso Thler. Joseph Bradley was arrested yesterday in Frederick county, Md., on suspicion of having stolen a pair of horses anil a wagon at Hagerstown on Saturday night, and was sent to jail in charge of Constable Ryan. Upon reaching tho jail at Freder ick, Ryan alighted from his wagon, when Bradley drew a revolver and iirod at him, missing Ryan, but wounding Deputy Sheriff Bcuner. Bradley then drove off with Ryan's horaa and wagon, followed by a large posso of citizens. A Dead Drummer. Yesterday, at Americus, Ga., a stench arising from a water closet of tho Com mcrcial hotel, attracted tho attcution of passers by, when the door was broken and the dead body of Isaac Stoycrman, a drummer for Bernheim, Rexinger & Co., whiskey dealors, of Cincinnati was found. He had been dead since Friday, and as no marks of violenco were on tho body foul play is not suspected. It is thought ho died from apoplexy. DKUMuKK NEWS. An Old School Ilonso Sold Tho old Post Treo school house proparly in Fairfield was sold last Saturday by the directors at public sale to Mr. P. B. Shank for $253. It is ono of tho oldest school houses in tho township, and has a won derful amount of early-school-day history hanging around it, baing one of the early recollections of most of our old inhabitants. Tho present purchaser distinctly remem bers that thero he had the truth impressed upon him that tho ' birch " was a fecun dating element in inducing tho young idea to shoot. Fairfield will havo a new brick school house, with all modern improvements, in place of tho old one. Recently Mr. James Pennington, while scaffolding his barn for tobacco, foil and injured himself considerably.

A wrestling match, for a purso has been arranged between Frank M. Sherwood, of this city, and B. F. Strawbridge, of Mid dletown, to take place in Middlotown on the evening of Oct. 14. In Town. Last evening the Coleman concert com pany, headed by Miss Alice Coleman, ar rived in town and spent the night at the City hotel. They left for Marietta, wh3ro they will appear to-night. TOBACCO. FAVORABLE CONDITION OF THK WEED Improved Condition ot tne Local Market The Crop of '80 in Demand Tne '31 Csop Very Fine The '83 Crop Doused. During the past week some 800 cases of the crop of '80 grown in this county, have been sold at satisfactory prices. There has been an active inquiry for tho crop of '81, tho B and C grades being in greatest demand. Holders generally decline to break their packings for the sale of these grades. They paid high prices for the crop, but "they are more than pleased with their bargains. Tho sampling has revealed the fact that the crop has cured better than any other that has been packed for years The N. Y. Tobacco Journal places the crop fourth in the list of tobaccos now in demand, not because it is inferior to the others, but because the holders ask too much for it. There is no doubt that when fair 6am pies of it onco reach the bands of the manufacturers it will take the lead ot all others, as in all desirable qualities it equals any grown ou the continent, while it is plainly exempt from damage. Hold ers will not abate their demand for good prices; they can afford to hide their time. The crop of 1832 is nearly all housed, and on the whole it has turned out much better thau was hoped for earlier in the season. True, a good deal ot it was cut by the hail, and iu a few sections the flea damaged it somewhat, but the favorable weather prevailing during the few weeks preceding its cutting developed its growth wonderfully, aud it is doubted whether larger leaves were ever grown than may be found iu the crops of '82. The unfa vorable weather earlier in the season in duced farmers to top low, which added much to the growth, though tho smaller number of leaves to each plant will ma terially lessen the weight of the crop. Thus far it is curing finely. Some additional facts telative to tho crop will bo found in tho proceedings of the agricultural society published in an other col umu. Ga' Report. Sales of seed leaf tobacco reported by J. S. Gnus' Son & Co., tobacco brokers, No. 131 Water street, Nw York, for the week ending Oetobr.r 2, 1882 : 900 cases 1831 Wisconsin Havana seed 1520c; 850 cases 1881 Now England, 15(2,30(1.; 800 cases 1880 Pennsylvania, 10(a)20e.; 325 cases 1881 Pennsylvania, p. t.; 200 cases 1881 State, p. t.: 250 cases 18S0 Ohio, C10c. ; 100 cases 1881 Ohio, Ou. Total, 3 475 cases. U. s. Tobacco Journal Report. If the sentiments aud actions of tho buyers and consumers of tobacco during the past six weeks arc worth noticing the various 1881 crops occupy tho following standing iu the market : 1. Wisconsin Havana seed. 2. Connecticut, especially Havana seed. 3. New York Havana seed. 4. Pennsylvania. 5. New York state. C. Ohio. Last year Pennsylvania headed the list. That it does not this year, is by no means due to inferior quality. The main reason is that there is no scarcity of it iu the market. People who need tobacco do not care to invest largely in anything which may be got at any time throughout tho year, except such tobacco can bo bought very low. Tho prices at which new Penn sylvania is held are comparatively higher thau the conesponding quality stock of other aud popular crops. Buyers find that the stock of lino Wisconsin Havana seed, Connecticut Havana seed and New York state Havana seed is limited. 1 folders of tho same have not paid as much for it as packers of Pennsylvania paid fur a corresponding quality of Pennsylvania leaf, llcnco those tobaccos sell aud Pennsylvania remains neglected. Holders of tho latter cry : " Wisconsin is a fiaud ! Stato seed doesn't burn ! Con necticut is too light 1 Manufacturers must buy the Pennsylvania !' But they dou't at least, not just now. They will buy, most assuredly, later on a little at a time. Tho best, the finest, the most silky wilt sell if it can bo had for figures below thoso which rule for Sumatra. Whether packers will mako or lose money at such figures, is not the question. Iu old Pennsylvania thero was consider able activity. Thcio aro plenty of buyers for all the '80 Pennsylvania in the country and better figures aro being paid to-day than could bo obtained a month ago. But even at such figures 12 to 1G cents for running tho losses ou most sales aro es timated to bo very heavy. The sales of tho week aro reported as follows : Crop '81.

The Sumatra tobacco hobby is yet rid den by the New York individual who so cheekily and ineffectually addressed the tariff commission relative to the subject, and sought to convince that body that a tax of 50 per cent, ad valorem ought to bo levied in addition to tho heavy specific tax now paid. Tho import of that class of tobacco is so intinitcsimally small, com pared with tho actual needs of our cigar manufacturers, that no appreciable im pression can be mado on the prico of the homo grown tobacco. Even if tho whole crop of Sumatra should be imported into this country (which is, of course, an im possibility,) it would not alter prices ma terially for tho homo growth, as its high prico would preclude its use in anything but the lino grades of cigars, consequently tho great consumption ot tho manufac turers of tho cheap and medium priced goods would necessitate their drawing upon the homo grown tobacco for stock, which would, of course, command prices varying with its quality, but in no case below its true value. The truth of it is it would bo no calamity if its import should troblo or quadruple that of tho present time, as it would be an additional incen tive to our growers to attempt to produce liner . tobacco thau is now commonly grown, and which, when done, would iusuro our growers moro remunerative prices, and curtail the imports of Sumatra or any other foreign grown. The greater portion of the difference between the prices paid for such tobaccos as Ha vana and Sumatra and our home produc tions should and would go to benefit and enrich our own planters, if they would (and as they can if proper efforts are made) but grow tobacco which can com pare favorably' with foreign growths. There need be no alarm among our plan ters of seed leaf at its imports, but there need be great solicitude as to the charac ter of our production. Improve that and you will solve the difficulty. How Cheap Clears aro Given Fancy names so They Will Sell Well. A cigar seller in this city, says the Chi cago Herald, says that not one man in a dozen knows anything about the cigars he is smoking, and will smoko a five cent cigar with as much enjoyment as a fifteen cent one, provided he thinks the five center a high-priced cigar. The label on a cigar-box has a great deal to do with making a cigar popular, and the quota tion, " a rose would smell as sweet by any other name," does not bold good in this instance.as customers generally go back on a cigar when the label on the box is changed It does no good for the clerk to explain and expostulate ; tho label is changed and the cigar has lost its attractions. Tho stealing of Cuban manufacturers' labels by American manufacturers was caused by this simple fact. No matter how good a cigar was made by home manufacturers, they found that they were oversold by in ferior grades of cigars which bore foreign brands. They adopted the foreign labels, therefore, and immediately their home manufactured cigars sprang into do served popularity. The high-toned smoking public merely wanted the name. It pleased a young blood more to go into a cigar store and demand a " Flora " and " Fuma de Delecto " than to ask for a " Squashtown Regalia," or " St. Louis Domestic." In nino cases out of ten a straight fifteen cent domestic cigar is far superior to an imported arti cle of equal price, but you can't argue that with the general run of customers. Among these, Hebrews as a class are the best judges and smoko the finest articles. Tho Hebrew custom is much prized, and no cigar dealer who enjoys their favor is in any danger of going into bankruptcy. Gamblers aro as a rule smokers of the fin est goods, but they aro as customers very erratic, owing to the different changes of fortune they experience For weeks and weeks a member of tho fraternity may present himself at the samo cigar counter and smoke his tweuty-fivo cent cigars. Suddenly some day he appears and says ho is tired of the brand and he will try a nickel cigar. Tho clerk asks no questions and in a short time he returns to his twenty-five cent weeds.

This Morn ing In a Van:. This morning between 8 and 9 o'clock the dead body of an infant child was fouud in tho yard of Francis Shroder, who resides at corner of Lime aud Orange streets. It was lirst seen by Samuel Stew art, Mr. Shi oder's hired man, and when found it was lying close to the fence and about halfway between East Marion and Orange streets. It was wrapped in a very nice looking cheraiso, arouud which was a newspaper aud a heavy pieco of light colored wrapping paper. As soon as tho body was found it was taken to the court house and given into chargo of Coroner Shiffer. A jury consisting of C. F. Stoner II. II. Hensel, Georgo W. Eaby, C. II. Fasnaoht and Wm. Compton was im pannelcd and held an inquest. Dr. Conip ton examined tho body and testified that it was fully developed and was that of a nino months child. From his examination ho believed that tho child was born alivo either yes terday afternoon or last night. There woro no marks of violenco on tho body. Tho jury rendered a verdict of "death from unknown causes." Tho child had a very heavy head of brown hair. Who the mother of the child is, is a mystery as yet. On the heavy piece of paper in which it was wrapped, two names had been writ ten, ono of which was with ink and the other with a lead pencil. Theso had been carefully rubbed or scratched off aud oven with a magnifying glass the jury was unablo to read them. Tho theory in regard to tho affair is that tho child died shortly after its birth and the mother dis posed of it in this manner. The body was taken to tho almshouse for interment, and the clothing papers, &c, are in tho hands of the coroner. "JKsnieralda." This charming domestic play, from the Madison Squat o theatre iu New York, was given at Fulton opera house last ovening buforo an audience of moderate numbers.

Tho great pressure upon our columns to day prevents anything like a fair estimate of tho performance in its entirety or consideration of its details. Wedding Reception.
