MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)
The Postmaster-General has appointed John C.
Hall special mail agent for Kentucky, vico J. J. Miner, '
removed.

The National Lincoln Monument Association of
Springfield, Illinois, out of the great number of designs
for a monument adopted that one offered by Larkin G.
Mead, jun., of Brattleboro'. The die is seventy feet high,
and the total height is one hundred feet. The founda-
tion and sub-base are of granite, and the artist pro-
poses the architectural work to be of Raverceoni
marble, and the statues of bronze. The obelisk is sur-
mounted by the eagle and globe. At the base a pedestal
is projected in front, on which is a colossal statue of
Lincoln. On a plane below, at the four cardinal
points, are four pedestals, on which are groups repro"
senting the infantry, cavalry, artillery, and marino
arms of the service. Encircling these pedestals ars
tablets, on which are written the names of all the States.
These tablets are linked together, and the whole work
indicates that, through the wise counsels of the President
and the endurance of the soldiers and sailors, the Union
has been preserved and perpetuated. On the four sides
of the base are tablets for inscription. That in front and
undeer the statue bears the name in full —Abraham Lin"
coin. The sub-base is reached by stairs from the corners
of the base, and under the base is the crypt for the-remaies.
The- door of the crypt is also the entrance to the pass"
age and stairway, which ascends the monument in-
side. It is specified in the circular sent to the artists
and architects that the cost of the monument should not
exceed $200,000. A premium, not to exceed $l,OOO, ws4
offered by the board of managers for the design and spe"
difications which should be accepted. Vermont may well
be proud of two such sculptors as Powers and Mead.
As is well known the Government of the trud'
son's Bay territories has long been offered to Canada,
and has been accepted by the Legislature of that
province, subject to. certain conditions. Negotiations
between the Imperial Government and the Hudsons
Bay Company are in progress, with a view to th°
settlement of the terms upon which the latter body will
agree to the cession of the extraordinary privileges
conferred upon it under the charter of Charles IL As
these negotiations may at any moment bear fruit and the
country be opened up to settlement, a number of gentlerae°l
headed by Lord Ebury, Lord A. Churchill, and many Well-
known members of Parliament, have addressed a memorial
to the Premier,urging that the Indian title should be equit-
ably extinguished, and extensive reserves of lands set apart
for the use of the native tribes, The desire of the memo'
riaiists is, if possible, to avert the sanguinary border war"
faro which has been so injurious to ono race and so fats',
to the other, in almost every part of the North American
continent. Mr. Disraeli, in a letter to Mr. Fowler, 11a5
promised to consider the matter.

The steamboat excursion and banquet given
lately at St. Louis, by the grand commandery of tile.

steamers wore engaged, and after ascending the river five
miles they turned back and 'steamed past the city with
flags flying, bands playing, and cannon roaring. Thei
afterwards visited Jefferson barracks, twelve miles belcort
and there had a banquet on the boats, 3,000 people parti-
cipating. Oue of the steamers knocked a hole in her
bottom on her return trip, but her passengers wore trans-
ferred to another vessel without harm or accident.

A WOMAN SUFFRAGE MEETING.—The following
call has been signed by a large number of women in Mount
Vernon, New York :—" Mount Vernon, New York, Aug'
24, 1868. —We, the undersigned, being desirous of educat-
ing ourselves and others in regard to the legal rights and
disfranchisement of women who own property, earnestly
request that you will, at an early day, hold a public meet',
ing in this village, and give us the benefit of your broad
experience on this to us momentous question. It is tb
fact not generally known, that more than sixty per cent'
of the real estate in Mount Vernon is owned by women'
many of them widows ; • also a large amount is owned by
married women whose husbands do not own a dollar'S
worth of proporty here, and the largest real estate owner
in town is a woman. As only property owners can vote
for the appropriation of money for village improvement,
and as yet no woman has over voted on the question, els
sequence is that more than 60 per cont. of the property i 4
taxed without the consent of the owners, and often against
their wishes. This is an evil we are determined to submit
to no longer, 'No taxation without representation' shell
be our shibboleth henceforth."
