-Tub delegates from the National To
bacco Association recently In session la New
Torkvere before tho Committee of Ways
and Means yesterday to urge measures re
commended by the association They re
commend a uniform Ux on all kinds of man
ufactured tobacco at sixteen cents Dcr pound.
They also recommend the, re-cstabllahment
of the old bonded warehouses of class B, and
free sUmps for cerUln classes of tobaeco
now In market.
fiortKTison Prssbrbt telegraphed to
CommUslonerDelano yesterday that Roache,
Bannach and Dyer, recently convicted of
dealing in counterfoil rerenue sumps at
Richmond, have been sentenced to one year
each In tbe Albany penitentiary i Wesley
and Blnlago to three months for aiding and
abetting In the circulation of counterfeit
sump. Tbo leniency or the court In Im
posing so light a sentence escltcd consider
able comment, as lt Is understood the par
ties conTlcted were anggel la a wholesale
attempt to defraud tho rerenue.
CoMMjtsioxsft Dblako has directed the
supervisor to look after the accounts of tha
collector and th qualifications of the atues-
sors tnroug&out the country with the view
of Increasing the efficiency of the rerenue
force. Tho greatest scrutiny will be observed
In the examination of the accounts at tho
rerenuo bureau, and It Is understood this
measure has been adopted for tbe purpose
of more perfectly carrying out tho system or
accounublllty among Government em
ployees and officers. It Is the determination
of the Commissioner to hay a thorough
assessment this spring
JtTpOR BftA&LMt's CikB IN TBB BeHATE.
The executive session or th Senate yester
day was protracted, and two hour were
consumed In debate. On Mr, Bradley's
nomination Senators Kellogg Rice,' and
Warner, It la understood, "made strong
speeches against confirmation. The debate
was characterised by a good" deal of feeling,
and at on Urn was qulU acrimonious. The
Senators referred to made a Very vigorous
fight, and Insisted that th Bouthera Circuit
In th Saprem Court should b represented
by a Southern man. It Is bettered that their
speeches will hare the effect to insure Brad
ley' rejection. Finally, motion, was made
to postpon noai action on me oat nam u
91st instant, and, tho yeas and nays being
demanded, the motion prevailed by yeas 31,
nets SO.
Tni roixowiito Post Office orders were

Tun Uilitart Committbb ycsterdAy ex-
amlned Mr. Holdane, of New York, again
In relation to the sale of th cadetshlp by
Mr. Oolladay, of Kentucky. Mr. Holdaie
still professes Ignorance, and uttsrly denies
that Mr. G. received any consideration for
the appointment of hi (Roldane's) eon.
The object of continuing this Investigation
Is to ascertain whether a resolution should
be passed condemning Mr. Oolladay as nn
worthy a seat In the House. The committee
has thus far no evidence to Justify such a :
resolution. The worst feature against Mr.
Oolladay, Is his promptness In resigning,
but exactly why he should hart done so, the
committee Is at a loss to know. The com
mittee also examined further Into the case
of Mr. Butler, of Tennessee. Gen. Schofield,
who ha been telegraphed for, I expected
here to-day to testify In Butler behalf-
Tub committbb appointed by the Na

According they called at the office of tbe

Wall's Onni nocss Mr. MoWads.
Tho first dramatisation of Irving' charm
ing legend, ''RlpVanWlukle," If we'mlsUka
not, was by a gentleman la New York, for
Mr. James II. Hackett, who first gave the
character a theatrical repuUtlon. Th stan
dard, or most common edition, Is by .the
late Charles Burke, a cousin of Joo Jeffer
son, who excelled la tha part as long as he
was on th boards. Tho great difficulty In
rendering lata part so as to keep np the
colonial history of the period, Is tho Dutth
(not German of "broken-English J dialect,
which Is almost forgotten. Hence, all actors
enunciate ths broken English common to
tha PennsyvlAnla Germans, lomethlog that
lew can put upon paper, and It U no dispar
agement to Mr. Burke' dramatisation to say
ma. it u a uuuro In this particular. Yet
It contains pleasing passages and amusing
situations, most of which are retained In
Bouclcault's perverted Version -the .names
oi a portion or the aramaiit ptrttnm only
changed. Mf. Jefferson fuS mado this last
arrangement, In mora than on sense, pecu
liarly his own,
Publlo curiosity Is naturally excited at the
appearance of " another Richmond In this
field, and Mr, VcWada seems determined to
vatU to, dcsplto the repuUtlon, hereditary
and acquired, of Mr. Jefferson. Ho follows
the generally received version of th play,
except some changes in the dialogue, often
an Improvement, and ha certainly evince!
great capability la hU rendering of th part,.
Many of his polnU bar fine touches of
leader and delicate pathosj but there arq
occasional attempts at wit not so delicate.
His picture of ths Catsklll story Is worth
seeing.
Esausu OrxRi. Tha National theatre
last evening presented a carnival scene In
stead of the ashen hue of Lent, and the papl
Ut gathered there Us "bsauty and Us chiv
alry." Mosart's "Marriage of Figaro,"
(Uochselt,) rendered .here for lbs first time
la English, was magnificently produced and
rapturously rclvd. Madame Parepa-Rosa
as Susanna was what she alone Is capable of,
aad her delicious note fU a a showr of
diamonds In a sunbeam. It would be Im
possible to selact any one gem from a casket

at tho Tillage of FhUllpsport, Sullivan

In. the shape of a woman cutting tho throat
of her own child, an interesting girl of four
years old The woman was tbo wife of a

WOrk at tbe Urn th tragedy was committed,
and the wife and two children were alone at
the house. The eldest, a boy about ten years
of sge, was sent out of tbo boas by his
mother to do some "chores."
After h had left Mrs Tlce took the little
girl aad laid her neck across an open trunk,
and holding her In that position cut her
throat from ear to ear.almost severing the
head from tbe body. The boy soon returned
and found the mother lying on the loor by
tbe child. Ho alarmed tho neighbor, and
when they arrived she was In tho same po
sition. She was placed upon a bed, where
she lay moaning for a long time An officer
took her In charge, and she ha been locked
Up at Montlcetlo.
Various rumor are Bloat a to tb
woman' motive for committing the crime.
A gentleman who was at the bouse a short
tlm after the deed was committed says that
he stated she killed tbo child to spile her
husband, as he thought a great deal of tho
little girl. Another says she did lt because
she expected to die soon, and then If her
husband should marry again the child
would be abused. All the neighbors say she
has a very TlcLous and morose disposition,
and some say she and her husband have
never lived pleasantly together. Most or

Tub REroRT of N. B. Devereaux, chief of
the revenue marine bureau and office of
steamboat Inspection, has been submitted to
th SecreUry of the Treasury. Up to the
year 1319, there had been built upon the
Western waters, steamers or all classes,
1,050; loot by collision, 45; by burning, 104;
explosion, 103, and by snags, 410) toUl lost,
730, at an estimated value or 13,043,761,
and tho cargoes were Talued at f 12.81,539.
Durlog the year 1819, the number or steam
ers lost was 04, estimated ralue, 11,019,000.
Prior to tho passage or the steamboat act In
1833, there were 34 explosions durlog tho 83
months preceding lu passage. Loss of life
estimated at 714. The regulations Imposed
by tbe steamboat act show (by sUtlstlcs)
that greater safeguard were thrown about
life and property. The steamboat Inspectors
thronghout the United SUtes, Including
Western rivers, report thst during the year
1809, the number or steam Teasels Inspected
were 1,911) number of explosions, 11; lost
by fire, 89; number of lives lost, 033. Yalno
of property lost from all causes, (3,434,000.
From the foregoing daU It will bo seen
that while the steamboat laws hare lessened
the perils Incident to steam navigation, all
Is not done that needs to bo dona. Addi
tional legislation Is required to carry forward
and perfect the beneficent purpose of guard
ing and protecting human life) for this Is
tne grand ooject and aim or tbo law.
Thoughtlessness and recklessness are com
mon vices, and the worst possible enemies
to pcbUo welfare and It Is palpable enough
that they too frequently run riot with hurnaxt
Ufe by disregarding warnings, despising dan
ger, and Incurring risks which common
sense and ordinary prudence and sagacity
heslUUnot for a moment to recognise and
ue ruTornca ut.
what wonder Is It, then, thst In the eon-
tempt of consequences so generally and
alannlntly prevalent the country U called
upon so oi ten w nay iu ensioiuties snocked
by terrific aecldenu by fire and explosions,
and multiplied chapter or horror added to
tbe page or our history
Beyond a question, two thirds, If not thre
fourths, of all tbe losses by steamboat accl
denU are directly attribuUbla to causes
which a small amount of foresight or
thooghtfulocss would haTo averted or wholly
prevented,
Tbe prominent cause leading to disaster
is the frequent employment of persons as
commanders, plloU and engineers of steam
vessels wholly disqualified by want of train
ing or experience for such duties.
What Is to bo expected from such men In
such positions T Anything else but disaster f
Does Ignorance and Its attendants, Incompe
tency and Inefficiency, lead to any other re
sult In the natural operation of tneUwsof
cause and effect 1
The new bill provides certain remedies for
these defections by requiring an examination
of caputns, mates, pilots and engineers)
alio requiring tests of tho tensile strength
of boiler plates and the amount of pressure
they may safely bear; also, to guard against
fire, providing for additional watchmen on
board every steam vessel. In these, with
others equally Important, may bo found pro
visions indispensable to the belter protection
and security of life and property.

steamer, and a hoary treasure list.
Oa tbe. morning of th 33d sho went
ashore near Point Laura, lower California,
about fifteen miles from tbe Bay of SaoU
AiAriA. Tho passengers, baggsgo and treas
ure were laodod with bnt little difficulty, the
sea being smooth, bnt the locality Is barren
and far from human habitations. A party
ras loot Immediately to Point Laxaro to
erect a signal and to keep a lookout for the
steamship Colorado, which was About due
tor rAnama.
She was stgnslled about noon of tha 34th.
It was found Impossible to reclr the suf
rerers on board u tha scene of tho disaster
owing to the heavy surf at that point, and
they were compelled to walk to BanU Maria
bay over an utterly barren waste enduring
great distress from hunger and thirst.
Several of the passengers were lost In the
sand hills and chapparel bushes, and had to
be abandoned by the steamer. Only a small
quantity of provisions and water were saved
from the wreck, and lt was rery fortunate
that tho Colorado arrived ro soon, otherwise
Intense suffering would have resulted.
When the wreck commenced breaking up
and the cargo drifted ashore, soma casks of
liquor were broken open by the passengers.
Drunkenness and disorder ensued. Fearing
bloodshed would be ths result, a strong party
of tho passengers was organised to destroy
the liquor as fast as It cams ashore Tho
passengers had no coufldence la Captain
Comstock and paid do attention to his or
ders. They held an indignation meeting on
board of the Colorado, and pasted a resolu
tion that In their opinion th wreck was due
to th Incapability or th across carelessness
or the commanding officer, and that much
unnecessary suffering on the shore was to be
traced to tho samo source. Tho passengers,
with but few exceptions, resched hero Ust
night. The baggage and the treasure were
left on the beach under a proper guard.

There was no water along the rout, and
they had bnt little hard bread. Old men,
women and children walked for 23 hours
over tho Rocky, mountains, nnder a burn
