Washington, January 0.—Tho national
tobacco association of tho Unitod States met
here yesterday, organized and discussed the
recommendation, which they proposed mak
ing to congress to-day. They embodied their
views in a set of resolutions declaring “That it
is the sense of this association “that
the tax shall be reduced to eight
cents per pound on plug, fine cut, chewing
and smoking tobacco, and snufT; that the tax
on cigars shall be reduced to $3.00 per thous'
and, and on cigarettes to 75 cents per thous
and; that congress should pass a resolution
making rebate under any and in all circum
stances equal to the reduction of the tux on
tobacco, snutT, cigars aud cigarettes, provided
that no claim for less than $10.00 shall he
allowed: that it is the earnest desire of the
National Tobacco association that the reduc
tion of the tax on tobacco, snuff,
cigars and cigarettes go into effect
on May 1st, 1883; that this convention
enter its solemn protest against the proposed
provision authorizing the sale of leaf tobacco
by growers froebf tax to consumers, os a vio
lation of all sound and recognized principles,
by granting to one class of citizens privileges
denied to other classes, ond os a public declar
ation by tho government to the consumers of
tobacco that they should use unmanufactur
ed ond untaxed tobacco to the utter ruin of
the manufacturers ond dealers in tobacco,
ond to the lo33 of revenues to tho govern
ment, and that it would lie equivalent to an
act for the confiscation of our^iolicy.
PINEAPPLE PIIOTECTION.
Washington, January 0.—Hon. S. 8. Cox is
in receipt of the following note. It i* in the
nature of an appeal for an infant industry yet
unborn, but of which the accouchment is
soon expected, Mr. Cox will doubtless see to
it that in tho great work of tariff revision this
plaintiff voice is not drowned out by the
bawling of Judge Kelley's more lusty infants:
"I am going into the business of ruising
pineapples and other tropical fruits in hot
house, and 1 want protection against the
pauper labor of the West Indies for my in
fant industry. I purpose employing two
small boys, and American labor must be pro
tected, even if pineapples cost five dollars
apiece. Don’t you forget it.- Yours,
"C. Chowder Smith, a Protectionist.

THE HEW NICKEL.
Washington, January 9.—The secretary of
the treasury has authorized the coinage of
the new five cent nickel pieces, which will
comply with the existing law, more nearly
than the 5 cent nickel now in use. It is a
trifle larger and thinner than the existing
coin.
COMMENCE WITH MEXICO.
Washington, January 9.—General Grant
and Mr. Trcscot, on behalf of the United
States and Minister Kotnero representing
Mexico, to-day held their Brat meeting as
the commission to negotiate a commercial
treaty between the countries.
c our. costly census.
Washington, January 10.—In a special
message to the house, the presidgjit u>ks th»*
attention of that body t-* tw rvqlt£M ii.t-
secretary oi the interior, for ah appropriating!
of ot»JitiijjJiaMMi
a deficiency iu the funds appropriated for the
census bureau. If the appropriation should,
not be made most of the work in the census
office would soon cease. Congress will prob
ably vote the amount asked for, but there
will be a good deal of grumbling. The fact
is that owing to defective administration and
reckless expenditure tho census for 1880 is
enormously expensive. If uu investigation
were mude it would, iu ull probability
be found that the present superintend
ent, Mr. 8euton, has been very little a
fault in this. From the timo lie took charge
lie has been laboring under heavy embarrass
ments. The burden has shattered his health.
The office,as organized by Finns!* A. Walker,
was started on a most extravngunt basis, and
the work which lie laid out was turned over
by him to his successor in such an incomplete
and chaotic condition that Mr. Heaton has
had u world of trouble to put it in stiai»e, and
■no of it lie has been compelled to aban
don. There Is every reason why congress
should make a thorough investigation of the
census work from the beginning, and it would
bo found Hint General Walker’s desertion
from the work at tiie most important stage
was extraordinary, if not discreditable. It is
believed by some of the census officials that
ho saw serious trouble ahead and tried to es-
cane from it by abandoning Ids post.
TIIE HAMBURG CATTLE VAlK.
Washington, January 10.—An interna
tional cattle fair is to be held during
the next summer at Hamburg under tho
auspices of the German government, and
congress lias now under consideration a
proposition to appropriate £10,000 to secure a
representation from tho United 8lutes.
Should this appropriation hemadeund placed
under tho direction of Commissioner Coring,
he will be able to send to Humburg finer
specimens of sborbhorn, Hereford and Jersey
cattle than can be sent there from England.
Tiie English blooded cattle when fed on the
blue-grass of Kentucky ucouire additional
size and are superior to any blooded stock in
tiie world. If the United States is well repre
sented at the cattle and the fish exhibitions,
it can but ndd to her national importance in
the old world. _
In spite of the severe reflections cf
the presidential message und tho recent
report of the secretary of war, the house
committee oil commerce decided to-day to
begin the construction of a regular river and
harbor bill. It must meet with far
e than usual opposition, but by
ral scattering of appropriations may be
carried. Then tne danger of a veto will Im*
greut, und it is very doubtful if any such bill
can be passed over a veto this se.-aion. One
noticeable feature in the secretary’s report of
the amounts appropriated in the last bill
which ure not needed, is that a small propor
tion of them arc found among items for
southern rivers, and these would lie far over
balanced if tiie bill bad given to southern
(torts anything like what the engineers stated
was actually necessary to put them in decent
condition. Georgia received over $400,QUO
under the bill and in ibi*
amount the scrutiny of tiie
secretary could detect only $0,000 that did
not meet bis upproval. Ot this $5,000 was to
improve the Oconee rirer below Dublin. The
work already done there amply justifies in
its results the expenditures made for for it.
A considerable river trade has been estab
lished, and would he further strengthened by
the appropriation of the bill. The other
$l,0oo referred to the sum for theOostanaula
and Coosawattee rivers.
THE ftillf'I'ING bill.
The shipping bill, which will give two mil
lions a year to rich ship Builders, and to
keep American commerce in its pres
ent miserable condition, called forth a
discussion in the house to-day, in which
Georgia took a prominent part.
Colonel Hammond made a very pointed
aigument against the bill, dealing it several
disfiguring blows.
Mr. 8j*er favored the bill,and in the course
of hta remarks criticised the speeches of Ur,

lie speech of to-day and other remarks he •
ju mado during tho session, indicate that i
Ir. Speer leans decidedly toward a high i
irlfi’, and what is called protection of Aiuer-;
■ait industries.
(The shipping bill is having a stormy voyage ;
rough tne house ond its crew may bel
ankftil if they get it safely into port,
[estern and southern republicans will not,
a cities, follow their general party course in
vorof the measure. Bisbee, of Florida,
ike strongly against it to-day. Georgia’s
be-al to congress, in the shape of a resolu-
n from the legislature, asking appropria-
m to the cause of education has been laid
’ore both houses. Governor llrown pre-|
hted it in the senate this morning. It was
eu to the house by Mr. Clements, who lirsl
Tfbo verv active both in cofnmlttec and on
tA&jdloor to promote the passage of some
' bill as the legislature usks. Appended
td the resolution is the upproval of Governor
Ki-iihens lie states that he concurs in the
r commendation to congress to donato pro-
ccotls of the sale of public lands to the cuuso
of fclucat ion, but lie does not approve the
recommendation that money be appropriated
directlv from the treasury for this purpose.
The bill now before tho bouse adopts the lat-l
t«f course. .It appropriates ten millions a year
for five years and distributes it on a basis of
Dl^eracy to be applied under existing
stile law's. It is known in the house us the
cliinilttee bill, though it is pretty much the
s!>|no as. the Blair bill in the senate. It also
in^irporatcs some of the features of the bill
offered by Mr. Clements in the house. This
l»i|\ would give to Georgia about $800,000 a
yur, much more than the land sale bill|
w *i*Jd. That would afford a big, but vary,
s&uj, dependent on the quantity of land i
ei-.cti year. Tho house was generally expected
to take up the question to-day, though no
tfejc for its consideration bus yet been fixed.
When it comes up Mr. Clements will submit^
so^.e remarks upon it.
INDIAN TEimtTOnY FOR OllAZINU rUUI’OSKS.
Washington, January 11.— 1 The interior de-|
p. rtuient is now considering a very impor
tant question in connection with tlieiunnitgc-
m.’nt of the Indian tribes, and tho decision
w'lll establish a precedent which will uiatcri-
a!fy effect them. Captain “Okaloma" Payne I
is not the only white man who is invading
the tribal reservations in tho Indian territo
ries.. Tho department is Informed that mill
ions of acres belonging to tho several tribes
ur»' being occupied for grazing
purpbses by whites, and for the
privilege tho Indians rccelvo no compensa
tion. Now comes one B. H. Campbell, one of
the- largest cattle-raisers in the west, and
wants to len.se of the Cheyennes and Arapa-
hoes two million four hundred thousand acres,
ir their reservation lying south and-west of
Darlington, at a yearly rental offifty thou
sand dollars.’ Thu chiefs of these two tribes
imvo signed a petition urging that they l>c
nTowed to make the lease, on the ground tliut
the laud Is being used by the whites and they
|ndghtas well receive u rent ns not. They
fry that it is not arable, iu the
main, and is practically useless, although
-4inall portion is occupied. The agent in
ci.tiVgo reports in favor of tho plan, and says
that tho chiefs have promised to agree that
In if the rental shall bo devoted to school
purposes and half to buying fancy stocks for
tb.lr farms. Heretofore the department has
rigorously tried to exclude whites from In
di .u reservations, hut th** pressure is growing
so,great that it is a question whether this ex-
cl isiop can be long maintained. The In-1

A dose friend of Ilandall'M, who is pretty
thoroughly (in the "inside,'’ and who hua
better opportunity to know the real facta than
almost any man in Washington, limiting Ml.
ltaiidnll, and hi.i.private secretary, in speak
ing of tho situation and prospects to-day, said
lie believed the mutter to be practically set
tled in favor of ltandall.
‘-There is nothing tbat can lieat him now."
lie said, "you may he quite sure of that.
The combination is go thorough and the situ
ation such, tliut I don't believe it ig possible
for him null ids combination to lie bouton.’
“Who are in the combination?”
"Welt, John O. Thompson for sergeant-at-
arras, und Mr. Atkins, of Tennessee, for
clerk.”
"Mr. Atkins, the present member from
Tennessee?”
“Yes. Atkins lias always been a firm ltan-
(Ihll man, and is a man respected liy all the
house, by both parties, intact, lie will have
a great deal of strength and will command
the vote of Tennessee and u good proportion
of the southern vote generally."
“How about Iiandiiirs high tariff' viewa?"
“Ah, that’s the very thing that a going to
elect him."
“How so? Is high tariir becoming popular
with the democracy?" »
"It is in certain sections. Most of the
gains made at tiie late election were from
high tariff states—from tiie north lo the east
—and not from tiie south, where tariff is
unpopular. Now, coupling this fact with two
or three other things which I might mention,
I am willing to stake my reputation by saying
that liunilall can't be beaten."
“And wlmt arc these other facts?”
“Well,” slowly, “Atkins will control the
Tennessee delegation and a part of that from
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi; Thomp
son will bring lu Ohio; ltandall, of course,
will have Pennsylvania solidly, and, as Til-
den is harking ltandall, lie will have the
whole strength ol New York, too."
-TsTildeu backing ltandall?"
'‘Certainly. Not a shadow ol doubt as to
that."
“Hut won't Co* in New York, and I«ce-
dom in Ohio, and Carlisle influence in Ten
nessee np-et tliut theory!”
"Not a bit of it. Tiie question is settled
beyond a peradventure.''
