There was a partial hearing of the j
Virginia tobacco commission, com-!
posed of W*. P. Burwell, of Richmond, j
aud Messrs. McGill und Williams, of
Petersburg, before the Special Com- |
mitteo of Ways aud Menus, to-day,
asking that licorice, sugar, sweet oil
and other essential ingredients of man?
ufactured tobacco be ullowed to enter
their manufactories free of turiii under
bund. Mr. Burwell advocated this, on
the ground that it would greatly in?
crease the amount of foreign trade iu
manufactured tobacco, and, while the
treasury might lose ST?O.OO? iu tho
remission of these duties, ho contended
that it would more than double the
export ou this article, which would be
the basis of a large importation, which,
at tha average rate of the tariff of
thirty-eight per oeut., would bring
more than 31,200,000 back iu the
treasury. A further hearing of 'he
delegation will be before u fuller com?
mittee next week, when au opportunity
will be given those opposed to this
measure to be heard at the same time.
The Slar says a despatch has been
received from Gov. Brooks, in response
to the telegram from the President
sent to him last night, declining to ac
| oede to the terms proposed. The telo
I gram was the subject of some discus?
sion at the Cabiuet meeting to-day, und
it may be that the President will feel
called upon to decide definitely some?
time to-day in this contest. The re?
fusal of Brooks to accede to the re?
quest made by the President in tho
iuterests of peace, will very likely
lessen the communications with that
party, and it appears very probable
that tho next advices from here may
be sent to the Uuited States forces at
Little Bock, containing tho decision
of tho Government, and asking that
all parties shall be made to respect it.
It is known tho Administration was
reluctant or indisposed to interfere by
tho force of arms in tho Arkansas
troubles, and, therefore, sought to re?
store peace iu that State by mild yet
earnest appeals to the parties immedi?
ately interested. Baxter's prosition as
to the adjournment of the Legislature,
called for yesterday, until Brooks'ad?
herent] should be present, together
with the conditions annexed, was so
fair and reasonable, in the opinion of
tho President, that the Attorney-Gene?
ral informed him that his interests re?
quired au immediate acceptance of it.
A remark was made in an executive
quarter to-day that Brooks could not
have scon tho significance of the inti?
mation. Tho rejection of the proposi?
tion has certainly damaged his cause
iu official circles?a fact which, per?
haps, be will soon realize. Tho Go?
vernment believes that tho Legislature
should assemble free from armed aud
all other menace or rcstraiut, from
either side, and that tho proposition
of Baxter, if it hud been accepted by
Brooks, would have opened the way
for a peaceful solution of the pending
questions. Final action on the part of
the Government will not bo delayed
for more than a day or two, wheu
means will be employed to protect the
peoplo from the dangers iu which they
are now involved, without acting par?
tially to cither of the contending fac?
tious, or tho rival Governors, by whom
tho feuds were initiated. Tho Presi?
dent to-night expressed himself, with
much earnestness, against those stimu?
lating bloodshed, uud throwing the
cutire Stute of Arkansas into anarchy;
and ho was equally earnest in saying
that he would not delay much longer
in coming to u decision in tho pre?
mises.

Caroct-Bag Reimdlatlon-Suuth Caro?
lina's Treasurer la the Amor House.
_ A portly gentleman held court in
Jfarior No. 6, of tbe Astor House yes?
terday. He "was carefully but not
showily dressed> in u suit of English
cloth and u blue 'chinchilla 'overcoat.
He woro no jewelry save a pair of
cameo studs, which adorued a spotless
liuon shirt front. His face was a shade
whiter than nut brown, and glossy
hair curled crisply over his head de?
spite the hair-dresser's efforts to make
it lie straight. Close-trimmed whis
kersgiramed his cheeks, and black,
beetFiike eyes looked out from under
a not very intellectual forehead. His
regular features seemed to huve been !
fashioned more after those of bis white
progenitors ihau his color would huve
led oue to expect. Ho would have
passed readily for the steward of some
first class hotel. It was the Hon. F.
L. Cardozo, former Secretary of State
of South Carolins, now her Treasurer,
and the half dozen mou who sat
uronud him were tho meu of meaus
who saw pro?t iu buyiug South Curo
liua bonds, which the carpet-baggers
issued ut any figure from 20 to 70 per !
cent. They called at the invitation
jof the Hou. F. L. Cardozo to learn
j why their investments returned no ii
! t.*re-<t, and why tho bouds could be |
bought :n opeu market at seveu per !
I e ut.
I Treasurer Cardozo acted the digoi
Sed debtor as well us though he had
been used tu toe role all his life. |
Knowing that the debtor for ouce had 1
the advautuge, he could afford to au
swer all questions with quiet eoude
seeusion. He usetl well chosen Eug
lish, and his explanations showed him?
self thoroughly possessed of the key
to the labyrinth of South Carolina
tin 1 tie os.
Treasurer C.irdozo unfolded to his
auditors the newest scheme of tho car
put-baggers to replenish the coffers
and ostensibly reduce the S;uto debt
ouo-half. His hearers wore not much
interested iu that part of bis talk, I
anything tending to enable them to !
get what they have already iu vested
appealing much morn nearly to their
sensibility. It may interest the reader,
however, to know tbut. the new plan is
simply to replace the bonds outstand?
ing by funding bouds, at the rate of
oue of the latter for two of the former.
The Act authorizing the new scheme
was passed by the last Legislature. It
takes, or was intended to take, effect
January 1, 1874. The desigu is to
rttiro about $10,000,000 conversion
bouds of previous issues, taking them
up, with 85,000,000 funding bonds,
with twenty years to run?a practical
repudiation of $5.000,000 of the State
indebtedness. The capitalists who
heard Treasurer Cardozo unfold this
remarkable scheme of making oue del
I lar do duty for two dollars era tho
!heaviest owners of about 85,000,000
conversion bonds, which werjj nego?
tiated iu tho New York market by
Parker, the former Treasurer, and li.
U. Kimpton, State Financial Agent.
This isMiu of bouds represents u previ?
ous uttcnipt of the carpet-bag Legisla?
ture to pay old debts by contracting
UCW OUCS. Reckless financial manage?
ment had emptied the coffers aud
[ flooded the money markets with State
stocks and bonds. Au Act was passed
authorizing tho conversion of such
floating aud certified indebtedness iuto
bouds, the u ego tint iou of the bouds so
uttered being limited to the purpose
named. Messrs. Kimptou, Parker,
Neagle and Governor Scott threw the
bonds ou the New York market, aud
they were purchased at from twenty
five to fifty per cent, discouut. All tho
bouds wero soon disposed of, only u
small fraetiou having beeu used for the
purpose intended by the Act authoriz?
ing theia. The succeeding Legislature
enacted a law validating this illegal
transaction, but the ucw Legislature,
which was elected with Governor
Moses, invalidated the former valida?
tion aud repudiated the bonds in toto.
Treasurer Cardozo having explained
these points ut some length, smiled
upou his auditors, and held himself
ready to be questioned.
An octogenarian creditor, whjsu
voice was almost inaudible from asth?
ma, inquired whether tho State had
repudiated all its bonded indebtedness.
? 'ity no means," replied Mr. Cardo
/.) "As I have already explained,
I S mth Carolina stands ready to provide
I fur all its honest indebtedness."
"How do yon know what bonds are
honest and what uul?" inquired the
OCtogeU.lt iati.
"1 have ihe numbers of all bond.-.
i that were not negotiated in the manner
prescribed by the Act authorizing
their issue," paid Mr. Cardozo.
The old gentleman took a large
package from his pocket and looked at
Mr. Cardozo as though trying to satisfy
himself how far ho could be trusted
with valuable properly. He hesitat?
ingly handed over the bundle, and
usked if "they were good."
?Mr. Cardozo spread out ubout
810,000 of tho conversion bonds of de?
nominations of 8500 aud 81,000, and
ran them over rapidly, consulting a
printed list, whioh he bold in his hand.
Oue 31,000 and two 8j00 bonds wero
good; the others were fraudulent, he
said.
"Are tnose all worthless?" gasped
tho old gentleman, us he suatohed up
the treacherous securities.
"Ohl I oon't say they are worth
leas,"said Mr. Cardozo, glibly. "There
is sotnelhiug to bo suid about the
equity of the matter. It is a point of
law, you kuow, that although au agent
may exceed his instructions, if the
principal profit by it, ho must be
bound by his ugtul's acts. Parker
he's my predecessor?Parker says thst
the money realized on the bonds wus
turned into the treasury, aud was ex
Iponded by the State. Th*.e is this
much to be said of Parker .1 statement,
thtit there was more money passed
through tue treasury in those years
than the legitimate sources of revenue
account for. That is a judicial ques?
tion of fact, however, and does not
weaken the action of the Legislature
in invalidating the negotiation of the
bonds."
"How about these bonds?' a canny
old Scotchman inquired, passing to
Mr. Curdozo samples of bonds that be
hold in his hand. The test was applied
to them. Some wore numbered in
black, some in blue, some in red ink.
Those in red ink up to No. 1,000 wore
pronounced good. Those in black ink
between 1.0U0 and 2,000 were good.
The high numbers in blue ink were
also good?all others were pronounced
fraudulent. About one in ten of those
owned by the Scotchman wero good.
"I paid GS}* for them in the open
market," said he sadly.
Another gentleman held $100.000 of
the bonds, which, he said, Mr. Kirnp
ton had induced him to purchase be?
fore they were fairly on the market.
The only satisfaction Mr. Curdozo
could give his interlocutors was, that
the men who issued tho fraudulent
bonds were liable.
*'Aro they responsible?" asked the
Scotchman, and Mr. Cardozo smiled
aud -.hook his head.
".Several suits have already been com?
menced," said he. "Your only chanco
is to bhow that the State got what
money the bonds sold for. Then, per?
haps, you will be able to get as much
out of them as is equitable."
"What security do you offer that the
funded bonds and other bonds will
ever be paid?" asked the Scotchman
fiercely.
"The faith of the State," Mr. Car?
dozo replied, an 1 ho sat two inches
higher iu his chutr.
"They say that you stand next in
tho succession for Governor," said one
of the gentlemen, iu a tone intended
to convey a delicate flattery. Mr. Car?
dozo pretended uot to hear it, but he
looked pleased, nevertheless.
Tho old gentleman repeated his re?
mark so emphatically that Treasurer
Catdozo ctuUI not help replying.
"It duos not ilo to b<slieve all you
hear," said he, with a simper. "Iu
fact, I have no ambition in that direc?
tion. I would uot exchange my office
for any iu tho State?not even the
Governor's chair."
"Perhaps a seat in the Senate wonld
be more lo your taste," persisted the
indefatigable flatterer, but the entrance
of the South Carolina bondholders
spared the Treasurer's modesty from
further assault.?Neio York Sun.

afraid of the ghost than of roportors
and others who pry around the pre?
mises at all hours trying to find out
tho secret of it.
