FROM BoLIyIA.-Our latest advices from b.
livis state that Ballivian who, it will be remem-
bered, was engaged in plot to overthrow the
present Government, had been entirely frustrated
in his plans. His partisans in the South had col
ected force of 80 men, and sent them as the
feigned advancegusrd Of an army upon town
called Csmargo. Finding, however, that they
could not raise up recruits, they retired to Tucu
man and salta. Ballivian despairing Of his sue
cess, obtained passport for San Juan, bat was
supposed to have taken the road to Copiapo, in
Chill. Gen BelEu had completely reestablishsd
himself in power, and bis health was rapidly i'm

DETROIT, JAn 49, 1917.
DEAR GREELEY: Politically, every aspect looks
fair. in the Peninsular State, for the Wing cause
The result of the late Election has thrown Loco
Focoisru into the utmost confuson-and, by Loco
Focoism, mean the Cass Hunkers Their organ
The Free Press, is like ship in storm, without
ballast or compass, tossing about, uncertain as 70
what course to pursue, awaiting the popular
breeze. On no subject, except the Fugitive
Law and the Union party, are its views KNOWN
for YOU cannot Judge from the past whas II Is OF
will be. When Gen. Cas- left for Washington
he was in the greatest trepidstion as to wnas
course 10 pursue. The defeat Of Buel, who nad
sacrificed himself for Cass, came upon the old
General like a thunderbolt, knowing as he ola
that the elections in both the other COngresslona
districts Stuarts as well as Congersl were CAT
ried by pledge TO modification oil the ugi.fe
Law he left here impressed with the oehei tnaI
in the Union party organization was TUG b on2
hope of the Union. His course since mas Oeen
governed by q" circumstances, as 1t Will De IN iu-
ture Great reliance had been placed by MIN
upon the help that Mr.. Webster was 70 give 20
his ambitious views and aim. Excepting Mr'
Foote and Mr.. Soule, the Massachusetts Ststes-
man was the only sure comPatrio9I on ~n.Cn ~
based any considerable reliance "tor the peFPe'
tuitv of the Union" But changes are gong
on, and it is very uncertain where Gen Cass VIII
be found one year hence, IL.
Excepting the dogmatisms Of bunker clique
here, who care little for any thing but their own
advascement and who by the bye have con.
trolling pecuniary influence In one oil the WING
papers here who defeated Littlejohn, and many
of whom voted for uel, from a sort OF " Cotton
mapia, there is the most perfect good feeling be-
tween the Wings and all who acted heartily IN
concert during the late contest. They viii! act to
eether in future, despite the Hunkerism In both
parties .,,,L.
Cass. but YOU need not be surprised if it is not:
Could the election come to the people, Cass would
be elected to stay at home by q very large ma
iority. Yours, OboEhfEN'

to employ two daily papers as Corporation papers

that the assessing for lamp posts be left with the

FERRY AccIDESrs-In order to prevent those
numerous accidents tina. occur upon the ferries
from time to time, in consequence OF many OF
the passengers upon the boats jumping across
to the bridge and frequently falling into the river.
ner and eHectual plan has been proposed By
several citizens, which, If adopted, will at onss
prevent a recurrence of those melancholy and
often fatal accidents. Ii is proposed to construct
at the extreme end of the bridge which connects
with the boat, two small side gates at either side
Of the bridge through which the foot passengers
usually pass and a double gate to open in the
middle, at that end of the bridge. through which
the carts, wagons &c. usually pass. These gates
if kept closed until the boat is got properly fas-
tened, would effectually check the dangerous
practice of jumping over.

take this opportunity to let you know OF the
existing state of affairs in this city. The place
as usual is filed with thieves and gamblers, bat
owing to the Governor making a descent on the
gaming tables dealing Monte, their trade is so
very dull many of them are leaving for better
places. Shooting is of every day occurrence.
Last Sunday DR.. Austin and Capt. Coon of
ship Russell, had some alteration, when Dr. A.
shot the Captain in the back and walked away
without being arrested. In fact the only way
you can get any satisfaction is to protect your
self We had fight here on the Goth. between
two gamblers, one by the name of Mulgrove,
bit his antagonists nose off and disfgured him for
life
In another fight one had his lip bit eff
Thieves aye as thick as blackberres. Now while
writing this letter. the mails under the charge of
MIR Workman, mail agent, are not in town. And
| rather think the steamer will have to wait over
for them some two or three days. The reason
signed in not being able to get them over is in
consequence o. the holidays, when you cannot
get the natives to work for love or money We
have nothing but bull fighting, cock fighting and
horse racing here.
