It seems that on the 1st of July, 1SGS, there were three companies between here and New York; the New Jersey companies, which had consolidated; the Philadel phia, Wilmington and Baltimore Rail road ; and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. These three roads were all consolidated under one general man agement, directed by Prescott Smith. This agreement was signed by Asha- bel Smith for the New Jersey compa nies, Mr. Hinkley for the Philadelphia and Baltimore road, and John W. Gar rett for the Baltimore and Ohio road. The new line was to be known as the New York and Washington Air Line, and each party- was to contribute its proportion of new equipment, and the contract to ho terminated by six months’ notice being given by any one of the parties to both the others. On the 1st of January, 1872, the Pennsyl vania Central, as lessee of the New Jersey companies, succeeded to all their rights and obligations. It was then known that the Pennsylvania Central Railroad was constructing an independ ent line from Baltimore to Washing ton; and the Baltimore and Ohio road fu4y. expected that the six months’ notice wAuld be given. As soon as the Baltimore and Potomac road leading to this city was built, the Pennsylvania Railroad inaugurated an independent line to New York riu York and Lancaster, and at once commenced to use every endeavor to divert South bound travel from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. This line was kept up for about six weeks, when the Penn sylvania Central, having settled their difficulties with the Union Railroad of Baltimqj-e, renewed their connection with tlie Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad through tlie tunnel jof the-Union Railroad, and gave up 'their independent line.7 About the 1st of September last the Pennsylvania Central, upon very short notice, declined to run either a morn ing or noon train by the Baltimore and Ohio road from either New York or Washington, thus confining the Balti more and Ohio road to a single through train, and that a night train, in the twenty-four hours; and, as they con trolled the New York end of the line, they fixed the hour of connection with the Baltimore and Ohio road at a time very unsuitable to the wants of travel, notwithstanding that the Baltimore and Ohio- train did a fair business. On Saturday- last tlie Baltimore and Ohio road received notice from the Pennsyl vania Central that from Sunday out they would make no connection with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and would refuse to haul its cars. Notwithstanding this notice the Bal timore and Ohio Railroad has contin ued, and will continue, to sell tickets and check baggage to New York, and to haul over all its New York business at the President street depot in Balti more, as formerly, and will arrange the hour of departures of its New York train, leaving Washington so as to con form to any change that may ho made in the departure of the train from Bal timore. So far as the travel between here, Baltimore, and Philadelphia is concerned, it is not affected by this war, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad being on amicable terms with the Philadel phia, Wilmington and Baltimore road. The North bound trains of tlie Balti more and Ohio Railroad show no dim inution of business, and they still carry- tlic through mail to New York. Railroad men are watching this fierce conflict of those two great corporations with dee)i interest; and since they have both made largo reductions in their Western fares, there is much curiosity to sec who will get the worst of it. The opinion of experienced men, however, is that the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road is much the stronger of the two, financially, and better able to stand any depletion of revenues which may- fall upon both by- reason ol this reduc tion of fares, and the present serious interruption to travelling facilities over what is one of the great lines of travel of the country. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad complains that the other party has broken faith by failing to give the six months’ notice which was stipulated. From the New York Chastising a Parson.

Tile Prehident’s Stall. 1’crhaps some new light may appear thrown upon tlie problem of the Chief Justiceship and Grant’s position in the matter, by recurring to an expression of tlie presidential views made some three years ago. it will ho remembered that at that time the President determined to remove .Judge McKean, of Utah. A feeling of opposition was manifested to the removal. Some Congressmen came to have a talk with the President and ascertain his reasons. In answer to an inquiry, the head of our Government said the Judge wasn’t in'harmony with the Governor of that Territory. ' The spokesman of the dele gation inquired if that was a just cause for removal from office. The President suggested that it was. He said it was necessary- to good government in Utah that the Governor and his staff should be in harmony. “ But, Mr. President,” was the reply of the delegate, “ do you consider that the territorial judge is a member of the staff of thc- Governor?” “ Most assuredly,” said the President in response. *' Then you must regard the Chief Justice of the United States a member of your staff, Mr. President ?” The President’s reply indicated that he did so regard thc Chief Justice. smoother Jhan the course of true. The reverend Lothario and the lady had a falling out, and she, for .consolation, permitted the addresses of another and, a secular wooer. ir To him, doubtless, in the confidence of love, she told the story of the par son s falsehood; and fate favored the conspiring couple. In some way the information reached them that the love-making preacher had already a wife—a wife aged 40 years. She was found. The story of her lord’s gal lantry was related to her. . * v The three entered into a conspiracy —the lassie with her spretac injuria form.r, the amorous youth who writhed with wrath at his mistress’ wrongs, the femme covert age 40. If we may be allowed a colloquialism, they went for that humbug of a parson. They sought him where at a certain hour they' were sure of finding him—right between the horns of the altar! And they dealt with him as follows: It is true, they were as three to one. It is equally true that taking him just at the moment when his heart was molilied by the exercise of his sacred functions, they had him at a disad vantage. He was a shepherd without a crook to defend himself wi'tli, for in a chapel that is purely a metaphorical implement. They- pouneedupon him; they fustigated him-: they mauled him; of course they scratched him; they’did in all ways most misehibly manipulate him; never was a minister so treated in church before!

Of course we do not consider this muscular method to be the best one to adopt in such provoking cases. Our preference would be for a council. We’ would have Stiggins kicked out of the place which he profanes, but we would have it done in an orderly and official way. We would have him disowned,' legraded, deposed: but we would not have him pounded as to his body, or pulled as to his hair. So far, we sympathize with the Pres ton preacher; and we are not sure that it would not be punishment enough to oblige him to live with the woman aged forty. . ...' -r cnrfclmn Carol, d-iviled . __ .imm aatferthcafc***-*:' i»x<rr} A farmer ^gt Augusta.Lately found out , Al *l * *>*>»’• ion'*irtv. > Ary. ao star, rains iis fire Vr, Agfflqip ai; Green Baybas made a GENEKAI, NOTES; „.._iigaSala that his dog was'in tl)e habit of inilkli a fine erf* for his owrf benefit. ;busjfcss:of taking the veil.- She took two hundred of them, .from a merclranf in that flourishing jtpyu.', A couple at Gliddep, Iowa, recently : ir ahnetfrldpg their intention and kissing' each other, ‘--it.'

About two months ago the body of a German named Alois Moiner, who had then recently arrived from the Father- land, was "found with a pistol shot wound in the head, lying in a room in the Itausa Hotel, Hoboken, New Jcr-, soy, where he boarded. County .Phy sician Buck was notified, and conclud ing that death had resulted from s«i- cide, gave a permit for burial. The German consul general a few days ago inclosed to County Physician Buck an anonymous letter written in German, stating that Moiner left a large quantity of money in iiis room; that since his death Lorenz Weiss, the pro prietor of the hotel, who had been deeply in debt, had paid all of his ob ligations, and had exchanged Prussian coin for United States currency. The letter came into the possession of the Hoboken police authorities through Recorder Bohuestedt, Saturday last. Information of its existence and contents was, it is said, conveyed to Weiss on the afternoon of thc day on which the letter reached Hoboken. One of the German steamers sailed within fifteen minutes after tire inform mation had been imparted to him. During that short time he packed his trunks and took passage on the steam er for Europe, assigning no reason for his sudden departure. _ The matter is now in the hands of the county physician. It is not known what stens he proposes to take in the matter, but the body will probably be disinterred and an inquest Held.

John Stoive insisted on loading the rifle for each competitor, and Henry contended that each marksman should charge the gun for himself Henry however acs cecded to the demand of John, until it was his turn to shoot, when he de manded that the rifle be given to him to load. High words followed, in the course of which Henry charged John with dishonesty in not putting any ball in the gun when last loading it John called Henry a liar. He shot John dead with a revolver. Henry was im mediately seized by the remainder of tho party, numbering four men, dragged to a mill, from which a rope was pro cured, and hanged to a limb.

The receipts of cotton at the various ports and inland towns thc past week, were the heaviest of the season, and if we are correctly informed, ihedargest for any corresponding period in a num ber of years. At this port the receipts amounted to over thirty-five thousand bales, which are the heaviest ever re ceived in any one week. That these large receipts of the stap.e have had their effect upon the market, notwithstanding the general resumption of work by Americans and the enlarged consumption by English spinners, is plainly to be seen from the general weakness exhibited in the various lead ing markets, and the fractional decline sustained here within the past few days.—Savannah News. • • ■ Tlie new mayor of Xiverpool lus more money than he knows whnt to do with, and announces that he intends to spend 8150,000 of it in estabhriupg lety for the city.

Doc. 24. Gtn. P. M. B. Young and tbe Was] Board of Pobile Works. In a recent ietter.'of mine, comment ing upon tbe Washington City board of public works, the following passage occurs: It is a Radical President and Congress that have inaugurated, fostered an! shielded this crowning villariy of mu nicipal expenditure. These influences are, of course, omnipotent in Congress. The few Democrats, like Beek, Roosa- velt and others, who attempted to curb tills expenditure and set some bounds to tlie power of the ring, were over- wheliried by tho Radical Congressmen, aided by such active and steady friends of the ring as Eldridge, of Wisconsin ; Pierce M. B. Young, of Georgia; Swann, of Maryland, and others. This passage has been construed as charging that General Young was “a member of the Washington City Ring” —in other words, an accusation of gross personal corruption. The text of the letter itself is an ample answer to such a misconception of its meaning. The letter makes no such charge either directly or. by innuendo against tlie Congressmen above named, as any one will see, and was not intended to make it It is due to Gen. Young, and to others named, and still more to myself, to correct this misapprehension which has found its way into print The letter, however, does refer to the .ction of General Young upon tlie floor of the House of Representatives, and he informs me that I am mistaken in classifying him with the friends of thc hoard of public works. His public action is, of course, a legitimate subject for such comment as the facts may justify. I give him at once the benefit of his denial, and if,, after further in vestigation of the matter, I find that I have been misinformed I shall state the facts accordingly. L. Q. W. Robert Hums a 1-jcc Mason. A little book printed in England for Irivate^irculation gives an interesting ristory of the Scottish poet’s Masonic career. He nppears to have been a de voted member of the noble Order from the time of iris initiation, which occur red July 4,1781, until his death. His visits to lodges, wherever lie happened to be sojourning, were frequent, and in zeal for Masonic work lie was m habit at times of holding lodges in his own house. In 1784 he was elected deputy Master of St. James’ Lodge, and his signature to the minutes is set down as “ Robert Bumess.” In grateful recollection of brethren at Kilmarnock, who had elected him an honorary member of the St. John’s Lodge, Burns wrote: * Ye powen who preside o’er the wind and tide? Who mark each elepienl'r border. Who formed this frame wilh beneficent aim, Whole sovereign statute is order; Within this dear mention,msy wayward con tention . A Or witheredenTy ne’er entdr; May secrery round bo the mystical bound. And brotherly love be the oenlro. The writer of the little book referred to thinks that the assistance rendered to the poet by brethren in Edinburgh, in connection with the publication of his poems, was’of much - value, and says that his devotion to the order was a .“great propelling -power, influencing his thoughts, inspiring his muse, ana nurturing that stern love of independ ence and brotherhood which are Always acknowledged tohave been predomina ting characteristics of his manhood.’’ j |A baby Year--how- very queer!

RIGHTS. ■ ■ (JWtkW - • ' COTTON ESTIM ATEN. ^ We have, says-the New'York BulkRn, now three distinct estimates 0/ the cot ton crop from sources which-are entitled to respect. They are as follows: Bal.s. New Orleans Cotton Exchange 3.5S2.0C0 Agricultural Burton at Washington 3,700,000* New York Financial Chronicle 4,00a,000 Average o! the three _..3,932,332 —or akont 43,000 bales below the ac tual crop of last year. Still, minimum cstimates.of the crop are pertinaciously' adhered to, and receipts at the ports, which according to the figures of the Cot ton Exchange, have been 552,000 bales, are regarded with much complacency by the “bulls,” who ascribe the decline to the financial stringency which attends the close of the year, the dull accounts from abroad, tlie decline in gold and exchange—all combining to produce a material reaction after a considerable advance had taken place. And it must be admitted the “bears” proceed with mucli caution. They by no means feel sure of tlie future. They feel that the possibilities of Washing ton finances are very great, and are un certain as to what opening of the new year may develop respecting tlie revival of trade. It is announced that the Sprague mills will soon resume work, and the latest indications from Man chester are favorable to their con tinued running on full time. English spinners took 127,143 bales of Ameri can cotton in November, and the sales of goods were in excess of the estimates. Our market opens this week a little de pressed, blit with a fair general demand. Tlie holiday week is likely to be a quiet one in speculative business, but merchandize will undoubtedly be held with much confidence until after New Year, when the nature and extent of thedemand will be carefully scrutinized. Another Grant Parish Arrest.— Yesterday, Mr. Alfred Lewis a planter of Grant parish, was arrested by a United States Deputy Marshal and con veyed to tlie Parish prison, where the prisoners lie. Mr. Lewis is accused of | having participated m the affair of last March, and the United States grand jury liave found a true bill against him. A capias was issued for his arrest to gether with Mr. Hadnot and his asso ciate victims. During thc recent raid into Grant parish by the Metropolitan police some little efi'ort was made to ar rest him, but the raiding party not hav ing considered the offense sufficiently grave, probably, returned to the city without him. Yesterday, however, Mr. Lewis dropped into the city and the United States Marshal being apprised ofit, he was forthwith arrested. —A". O. Picayune. The Washington correspondent of toe_ Boston Advertiser says that the re jection of Mr. Williams seems to be generally considered as certain, unless toe President withdraws his name, which he has heretofore refused to do.

T s»v to y6ur own remarks thertin I regard as no less: unkind 'than unjust to me, though I am slow to believe they were so intended. j The sentences to which I specially refer are in these words: “Mr. Stephens may have said that he would go farther than Charles Sum ner in giving tbe negro every right he is now justly entitled to. But should lie, by any fatality, plead for equality or anything appertaining to it—after the manner of Sumner or Butler—he will betray .-Iiis constituents in a way not to be endured, and forfeit the esteem of- thousands who have up to this time clung to him tlirough good and evil re port.” If anything in my past life could justify the above paragraph,, with its hypothetical condemnation, then, in deed, I have lived to lidtlittle purpose!
