CUBA, FOREIGN, TOBACCO SMUGGLED INTO THE ISLAND—THE COLONIAL STAPLE LOSING ITS GOOD NAME. Havana, July 5, 1876, The newspapers in tho interior tobacco raising dis- tricts of the island complain greatly of the clandestine importation of foreign tobacco, Tho law only allows the introduction of tobacco grown in Porto Rico. The Voz calls the attention of the government to this grievance, and advises that the importation of the ar- ticle even from Porto Rico be wholly prohibited. Tho Boletin Mercantil of Cienfuegos says woli- informed persons justly suspect that much of tho foreign tobacco is unlawfully introduced into this island, It is impossible that the large quantitios im- ported can come from Porto Rico. The product of that island is very limited, is mostly sent to Germany and is vastly superior in quality to the stuf! imported here. It is believed that much of the spurious article comes from St. Domingo, Honduras and other quar- ters, Somo time ago there was landed in Havana a largo engo of tobacco which, it 1s said, came from Vieques, a small island belonging to Porto Rico. That island could not have produced such a quantity in a year, The reputation of tho Havana leat will seriously suf- fer if this abuse is allowed to continue. DOM PEDRO.

Wasuixutox, July 5, 1876, THE BELKNAP TRIAL—EF¥ORTS FOR AN AD= JOURNMENT TO BE MADE. The Belknap trial begins to-morrow. Whether it will be completed at this session is very uncertain, All the witnesses havo been summoned and will be in Teadiness, The Senate does not adjourn the trial unless the House of Representatives requests it to, and the democrats in the House refuse at this tim: to make such @ request, But the Senate, it is today under- stood, means to demand tho presence of the whole House at every day's trial, as has been the invariable practice in previous impeachment triai And if It insists on this the House may get very tired and move an adjournment, The managers of tho im- Peachment believe that the trial cannot be mae to last more than three weeks, but the policy of the de- nee will be to ereate as much deiay as possible, or as shrewd and determined lawyers know how to cause, and this again will tend toward a determination to ad- Journ the trial after it has run-afew days, The fact that the trial is of not the least public importanee, can answer no end of justice, and no longer interests the public does not appear to occur to anybody in either House, General Belknap is already eriminaily in- dicted hero upder a law which allows a jury to dis- quality him for holding office, in addition to other punishments, and thus the Senate's verdict is not necessary to disqualify bim, THE LOUISIANA GUBERNATORIAL CANVASS— PACKARD TO RETAIN HIS CANDIDACY—AN OLD TIME IMBROGLIO ANTICIPATED. The nomination of Mr. Packard as republican candi- date for Governor in Lousiana was at first thought to bein accordance with a private arrangement talked of some time ago, by which, if he was nominated, he was ‘or of another candidate, General Will iamson or General Bussey, either of whom would bo acceptable to the best citizens of New Orleavs and of tho State regardless of party, This plav, if carried out, would have compeiled the democrats to nomtnate also one of their best men, and the result would havo been to lift the canvass and the State politics out of the mire. Unfortunately this plan is not to be carried into eflect, as the Convention adopted a resoiution de- | claring that if any candidate abandons the contest.the | nomination of another shall be made only by a pew State Convention, and not by the State Committee. ‘The effect and design of this Js to retain Mr. Packard, but as | he represents the most extrome element of the repub- lican party in the State his nomination will, it is here feared, lead to a similar nomination by the democrats of some extremest like Wiltz or McEnery, and thas tho old turmoil will begin over again, Packard is United States Marshal, As such he has the command of troops, andas he has hitherto used these during the canvass it may be expected that be will try to uso them this fall again, unless he shail be deprived of his office by the President, which is not expected, as he isa favorite at the White House, SENATOR MOPRILE ACCEPTS THE TREASURY- SHIP—IMPORTANT ECONOMIES TO BE INI- TIATED.

Wasmixcrox, July 5, 1876, THE INDIAN TRUST ¥YUNDS—EXTENT OF THE ROBBERY AS BEPORTED BY SECRETARY CHANDLER—THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EX-SEC- RETARY JAKE THOMPSON. Secretary Chandler says that when it came his turn as Secretary of the Interior to comply with the law which recontly passed directing him to turn in to the Secretary of the Treasury all bonds and trast funds held by the Interior Department for the benefit of the Indians he commenced to examine them closely, When bis indorsement was required to tho bonds he scrutinized each in turn and found, after he had caused all the trust funds to be tabulated for the various years, in the foot. ing up, to use his own terms, “the whole amount of the robbery was $2,876,466, instead of $1,500,000, as erroneously announced heretofore.”” He also tound the almost incredible fact that the United States govern- ment had paid interest on these trust funds amounting 008,300, to mect which Congress had duly made appropriations year by year, though the principal was either in large part abstracted or had been invested tn worthless securities, notwithstanding the law bas been since 1841, as it is now, covered by section 3,659 of the Revised Statutes, which provide: * All funds hold in trust by the United States and the annual interest accruing thereon, when not otherwise roquired by treaty, shall be invested in stocks of the United States bearing a rave of interest not jess than five per centum per annum. In veritying his assertion Secretary Chandler stood up and stretched out his powerfal arms, denounced vehemently the dishonesty which had been practised, he said, since bofore 1830. Ho clted the fact that in- vestments wero mado in turnpike, Stato and other worthless onds by former Secretaries of the Interior under previous administrations, in dircet violation of the law, which latter calicd for investment in stocks of the United States exclusively, and, to re- peat Secretary Chandler's words again, *This was also done under Jack Thompson, and is nothing less than robbery.”’ Secretary Chandler will insist that for this additional amount of the Indian trust funds which has been abstracted from the United States govern- ment’s possession or embezzled therefrom by manipulation* of the subordinate officials, Mr. Jacob Thompson, ex-Secretary of the Interior under Presi. dent Buchanan, shall be held responsible to the extent that it was misapplied under his administration, It is said that the United States District Attorney ot the District of Golambia will be instructed to take notice of this and commence proceedings supplemental to those already begun against Mr. Thompson for the recovery ot the funds previously known to have been abstracted THE WHISKEY TRIALS INVESTIGATION——EX-SECRE- TARY BRISTOW AND OTHER EX-TREASURY Or- FICIALS TO BE EXAMINED It is an open secret that subpernas have been issued for the appearance of ex-Seeretary Bristow, ex-Solicttor Bluford Wilson, and ex-Chief Supervising Agent Yuryan upon the expectation of the Whiskey Com- mittee that it will be able to make tho necessary links in the Whiskey Ring frauds, connecting them and Babcock with the White House. The committeo have been told by Yaryan that ex-Secretary Bristow and ex-Solicitor Bluford Wilson would corroborate him im his state- ment connecting the President with Babcock in the Whiskey Ring transactions, It has been suggested to the committee to ask Mr. Yaryan how much money Lyman L, Moore paid him in tae adjustment of the revenue tax levie! agaist. certain railroads in the northwestern States. From the nuinber of detectives at work on both sides in connected with the expected examination of Messrs, Bristow, Yaryan and Wilson, tt is evident here that mach interest is felt in what will be developed by the ex-Treasury officers. Mr. Bristow was fora long time on the floor of to-day in consultation with Sena- tor Thurman, THE TRANSFER OF THE INDIAN DUNZAU--SENA- TOR INGALLS’ PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
