Washington, Aug. 28.—Acting As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Rich
ardson recently submitted lor the opin-
ion of the Attorney General a case on tbe
following question: At what rates, in
the amendment of June 6th, 1972, should
Internal revenue taxes be required upon
tobacco which waa stored in export
booded warehouses, on or since June 6,
1872, when withdrawn lor consumption
or sale in this coutitry t Alter reviewing
tbe law upon tbe subject, th<¡ Attorney
General says: Assuming that tbe word
uow means tba 6th of June, and it fol-
lows that there is no way in which to-
bacco, stored in a bonded warehouse be -
tweeu said date and the 1st of July, can.
after tbe latter date, be withdrawn for
exportation without prepayment of the
tax, for on the 1st ol July the old law
waa repealed, and the right to withdraw
tobacco after that date for exporta
lion, with respect to the time when
it was stowed is precisely th<* same as
the right to withdraw tobacco for con-
sumption or sale. Idon'tses what dit-
ferenc* it makes to the Government
whether tobacco is taken from a bonded
warehouse or manufactory after first ot
July upon tbe payment of the new tax,
un'ess p tssibly the payment may be a
little loLgerdelayed in rlio one. In the
other case on the 6th of June, it is said,
there was large quantities of tobacco<in
transit from the manufactory to the
bonded warehouse, and it is certainly
seems unequitable that tobacco, which
reached tbe warehouse on the 6th ol
June and was withdrawn alter 1st July,
should pay a tax of only twenty cents
per pound, while the same kind ol to-
bacco that reached the warehouse two
days alter aud is withdrawn at the same
time is cjmpelled to pay a tax ol thirty-
two cents a pound.

A letter from St. Petersburg in the'
Sablesisoh Zeitung says that Russia is
preparing lor a war with China. Ths
territory of Kouldecha, on the western
frontier of the letter country, wss ss is
known, oeoupied by the Russian troops
last year, and Cbiua now intends to rs-
gain possession of it. Tho Mshomms"
dsn population, however, are so hostils
to the Chinese government that thsy
have declared that tbey will put to
death any Chinese official who appeals
<n the country. This would of oourso
lead to a conflict, in whioh Russia will
doubtless take the part of Kouldsoha
against its so-called oppressors. Ths
government at Pekln seems to bo al-
ready anticipating such a oontingenoy,
for it is building Tronolads and employ-
ing 1600 men daily in the preparation of
guns and ammunition, and has sent
sgents among the Russian Khirgis to
indues them to resume their old alle-
giance to China.

orable fall and winter.
