[JortCobaccoCimcs PORT TOBACCO: ‘ Friday Morning’, April 14, 1882. Hon. Charles Stewart Purnell has been released on parol to at'end the funeral of a relative in Paris. The Richmond Whig, Mahone’s organ, announces that the policy of the readjus ter crew will henceforth be an unqualified support of Mr. Arthur's administration.— Nobody will be very much surprised by j this disclosure. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided, in the case of Albert Schaefer against the Washington city, Virginia Midland and Great Southern Railroad company, that suicide caused by insanity ! alleged to have been produced by a rail road injury, is too remote a cause of death to justify recovery of damages. Mr. Swift, who was one of the late Chinese commissioners, does not agree with the President. He says: ‘*l fully hoped that the suspension would have been proposed for thiry years, and the Chinese government would not have con sidered the faith of the treaty trespassed on it the suspension had been for fifty years or over.” The Maryland Legislature passed resolu tions requesting the United Sta’e govern ment to repay the state of Maryland $72,- 000 and interest advanced to the govern ment in 1791. Last week Senator Gorman introduced a bill in the Uni'ed States Senate for repayment of this money, and the same bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives. President Arthur is following up the example set by his predecesors in repu diating “Senatorial courtesy "as a principle of political ethics, and is turning out all the “half bred" federal officials in the different States and putting “stalwarts" in their places, without in any manner consulting the half breed Senators who happen to represent those Sta’es. It is a poor rule that will not work both ways. Jesse James, one of the most notorious of western bankrobbers and outlaws, was assassinated in his own house by a member of his gang one day last week. Large re wards hael been offered fur the outlaw, dead or alive; and great relief is felt thro' out the west at his taking off. Great ex citement was created at one time by a ru mor that the assassinated party was only a sham Jesse, but the latest advices leave no room to doubt that the deceased was the veritable Jesse himself. Public gratitude to Governoi Hamilton for w hat he has accomp ished in the work of reform is to take the shape of a banquet to be tendered to him “by Democrats from the state at large.” Among those to be invited are Governor Tilden and other high officials of other spates whose names are more or less identified with reform. It does not appear that our own ex-gover nor are to be among the guests, Governor Thomas, Governor Carroll and Grvernor Groome not being expected to revel on that occasion—although some of them may be considered Democrats “at large ” Baltimore American. [That does seem a little odd. — Eds.] We have received an inquiry as to the effect of Governor Hamilton’s action in quitting his post jat the seat of Govern ment before the laws passed at the late session had received the executive appro val. The effect will simply be to post pone the time of the laws going into effect, until the Governor sha'l approve them. The constitution provides that a'l bills sent to the Governor for his approval shall, if not returned by the Governor, with or without his approval, within six days (exclusive of Sundays) from their re ception, become laws without the execu tive approval ; but there is a proviso avoiding that result when the Legislature shall adjourn before the expiration of the six days. In that case the Governor has his own time in which to approve bills that were passed. Earnest efforts are being made by the Republicans in Congress to repair their blunder upon the Chinese bill. The chief ground upon which Mr. Arthur based his veto of the bill, was that it violated the existing treaty with China; but Mr. Bayard hauhtily rebuked the assumption of Mr. Arthur in arrogating to himself superior knowledge upon such a point of statecraft to two thirds of the Senators, who voted for the bill. Doubtless the Republicans with their usual adroitness, have endeav ored to leave soon loophole of escape from their position upon this question, so that, after trying the public pulse by a defeat of the bill, they could if the pressure be- ! came too great, “crawfish out of it,’’ and retract their action ; but at present it seems 1 very difficult for them to get out of the 1 ditch their past record has precipitated • them into. < ■ The bill of exceptions upon which the t assassin Guite.xu asks for a new trial is 1 quite voluminous, and contains 32 as- ( signments of error to the rulings of Judge | C®x upon the admissibility of evidence and I some thirty in his charge to the jury. The i poin’s raised seem to be purely thechnical I and whatever merit they have as legal < propositions it is difficult to see how the I prisoner’s case could have been prejudiced t by die admission or exclusion of the mat- • ters complained of Nevertheless, he f must be tried according to the law, and no j doubt the judges silting in General Term t will give careful consideration to the c questions raised by the bill of exceptions, £ although to the non-professional mind • some of them will appear utterly imma- t terial and even frivolous. Should the a objections raised by the prisoner’s counsel t be sustained by the court and a new trial be t ordered, everything assigned as error can £ be excluded without materially impairing the force and weight of the testmony against the prisoner. t The Calcert Journal has at length reached t us, and in its new dress looks like a fresh s young miss in an easier costume. a The Western Elections. Hard upon the “tidal wave" of Demo cratic gains in the rural districts of the State of New York, which we chronicled a few weeks ago, came a similar and a very decided manifestation from theelec j tions in Ohio, Michigan, lowa and Indiana on Monday of last week. V* hen one year ago, the Republicans in Cincinnati were beaten, it was said to be due to a failure of the Legislature to pass a law restricting the liquor traffic; and now that they have been beaten again, by double the majority of the previous occasion, the defeat is charged upon the enactment of just such ! a law, which has been done in the mean time- In Cleveland the Repub'ican ma jority of 3,200 last year, has been rep'aced by a Democratic majority of from 600 to 1,000. Columbus shows similar results: land Toledo went Democratic by a major | ify of 1,800. and Dayton by 400 In Keo kuk and Dubuque, lowa, the cry elections resulted in giving political control to die Democrats. In the latter city, the Demo crats. for the first time in twenty years e'ected every alderman. In Indianapolis the German and negro vote is reported to have been nearly solidly Democratic. In Richmond, Ind. a Democratic official was elected for the first time since the organization of the Republican party. A number of towns in Michigan swell the list of Democratic victories. Among the number are Lansing, Marshall. Ann Arbor Ypsilan'i, Niles, Grand Rapids and Fast Saginaw. ' The Baltimore Sun , always cautious, in commenting on this resu't. said : "The signs afforded by “off years'* are apt to be delusive. Still the murmurs of the Pacific coast with regard to Chinese immigration and of the Mississippi valley with regard to neglected economic reforms, cause every incident to be suspec ed of being the straw which shows the direction of the wind.' The “off years" have always heretofore been a topic of humerous indifference to the Republican manipulators. They have always jocularly conceded Democra ic gains in these years; but it is apparent everywhere that the recent portentous manifestations have not been regarded with indifference, but have carried con sternation among the “organized rascality ’ The point of their joke about “off years.” in years gone by, has been tha’, when the national elections came around, they had the Federal treasu'y to draw upon, by means of the “spoils system.” But the point of that joke is now effectually blunt ed by the uncompromising factional an tagonism in their own ranks, which has grown out of the “spoils sys em.” The distribution of spoils now, going us it does exclusively to one faction of the par ty, is only a means of increased discontent. So that another “tidal wave"may be look ed for in the congressional elections m x’ fall, and the complete restoration of the Government to Democratic control may be reasonably expected to follow in DM It has, indeed, always been aa enigma to us. that the great agriculture West should so blindly antagonize its true in teres’s by a continued support of the pur ty of prohibitory tariffs. It has always appeared 'o us excecding'y difficult to un derstand why that section of the country, whose chief and abm-s’ sole industry is agriculture, should continue blindly to follow a political organization whose chief and favorite policy is to levy'an oner. us tax upon the agriculturist and coasumt r, through the medium of a prohibitory tar iff upon imported articles; and thus create monopolies in favor of a few rich and pow - erful manufacturing corporations in the Eas’ern States, under the flimsy and lalse pretense of “protecting American abor.’’ This result has only been accomplished by a judicious distribution of spoils and the skilltully promulgated de lusion that the Democratic party is the party of disunion. Now that the former of these methods is no longer available, and the latter term has lost its force, it i> but natural to expect the West to res’ore its allegiance to the party which has ever been the foe of monopolies and the friend of the masses, and which, alone, promul gates doctrines and pursues policies of a tru'y national character. We publish in another column a long interview with Senator Gill in relation to the tobacco inspection legislation before the late lamented General Assembly It will be perceived that the Senator admits that he was first induced to take such an active pari in the measure by the solici’a tion of the Baltimore tobacco trade, and he shows that hintse'f and Senator Bond framed the present bib at a conference wi h the Baltimore buyers in that city, and that it was framed to meet their views. This, however, should not excite any pre judice against the bill. It is desirable that all interests should harmonize upon such a measure. Its real merits or demer its can only be tes'ed by experience. If the bill receive the executive approval, and become a law, ’we will have an op portunity in the next two years to see how much die trade in tobacco will be improv ed by tbe change. It will be obstrved that the Sena’or is not very accurate in his estimate of die economy of the change to the State. It was hardly fair to take as an example of the expense of the system to the State, the figures lor a year previous to the reduction of the salaries of in>pec-1 tors and clerks from the exorbitant amount fixed by Republican misrule to the more I reasonable rates in force during die past | fiscal year. The proper standard is the J expense of the past fiscal year. According to Senator Oil. there was a charge upon I the State treasury during that year of, .^312,99, but Senator Gi 1 appears to for get the fact that the revenues of the whan’! property amounting to about S3OOO a year were turned into the tr. usury without anv credit being given to ihe tobacco fund.— So that the net income to the State under the o’d system, since the salaries were re- 1 duced, has been nearly S3OOO. It is pre sumab'e that this wharf property w ill pass to the lessees under the new law, so that the real economy of the measure to the State is very slight indeed. Governor Hamilton, who left for Hagers town immediately after the adjournment of th Legislature, is expected to return to Annapolis for the purpose of signing such bills, passed at the late session, as he approves. i 1 The Govenioi’ and the Tobacco Bill •j A Baltimore Sun reporter has intervie.v -led State Senator Gill, of that city, with a view of ascertaining the history of the to , baeco inspcc ion legislation before the late General Assembly.
