Pociflc Te,errapb Contract.

WASHINGTON, September, 1.-THE Secretary of the
Treasury opened the bids for the construction and
use of telegraph line to the Pacific. The propo-
sal of Hiram Sbley representing the Western Union
Telegraph Line, was in accordance with the mini
mum sum in the act of Congress, viz: $4,000 per
annum and SO 90 for single dispatch of ten words
with the usual proportionate deduction upon dis
patches of great length. The other Adams, Of Har-
risburg, Pa, bids S39,000 per annum for ten years
Orville Clark, of Sandy till, n j.. and j. II. Har-
man, of Detroit $4,000 for ten years; B. J. Fickn
of ST. Joseph. makes these bIds-in the first, % 060
per annum, for ten years; second, $40 600, and to
transmit all government dispatches at 81 so for the
first ten words with the usual deduction on those of
greater length; and the Sd $4,000, accompanied
with proposition to run pony express after the
first 500 miles of the line is finished, at the usual
Geographic rates, until the line is completed For
this, however, the act makes no provision. There
were present at the opening o. the bids, Messrs.
Sibley, Ficklin, J. S. Graham, and A. w. Bee. The
last named is connected with the Pacerville and St
Joseph lines. The Secretary of the Treasury will
probably make his decision the last of this week.

A RUSSIAN DEFAULTER Arrested man named
Ludovic Jochm julius Tode was arrested in New
York few days since while standing looking into
a Broadway shop window charged with being de-
his room at his hotel, the officers found $4,000,
chiefly in Russian bank bills The prisoner is fine
looking man. and but 26 years of age. He is said to
have fed from Russia about year ago, since which
time there has been a standing reward of $4,000
for his apprehension. The important arrest
effected BY the detective police solely by comparing
a daguerreotype likeness of the prisoner with the
original in the street though a clue 20 the fugitive
had been previously given by Wall street broker,
with whom he had been transacting some business.

nashville THEATRE.-This establishment contin-
ues to meet with success, indeed with increasing
success, the house last night having been quite
crowded. The appearance of Mrs. BREsLAw in some
of the leading tragic parts continues to be the chief
attraction though most of the other characters are
sustained with an ability very gratifying to the well
wshers of the present management The pieces
played since the opening night have been The
Lady of Lyons and Loves Sacrifices" in both OF
which Mrs B. sustained the leading parts and was
ably supported by the rest of the company, with
Messrs TEMPLEroN and STETsON at their head
Among the new candidates for favor we must re-
cognize Mr. WIGHT (or WRIGHT his name is spelled
both ways in the bills) who IN the part of Jean Ruse
exhibited much comic talent last night. Mr. EVERETT
also is received with deserved applause in all he
dertakes. Mrs. STETsoN made her first appearance
last night as the widow Hermerlne, in which part
she looked pretty and graceful as widows should,
but was hardly dashing enough for a widow of that
particular class.
A play entirely ney to Nashville Pauline or the
Assasn's Bride is announced for tonight. We
hear high character of It, and are glad of the pro-
ducton of a novelty in the place of the rather
worn out pieces with which it was necessary to try
the company, while preparation was being made
for newer attractions.

DIRECT IMPORTATIONs.-In passing through Hayne
and Meeting streets recently, attention has been
directed TO the immense number of bales cases and
casks of merchandise of direct importation. Our
merchants really seem to be in earnest. and, from
conversations we find that our importers have been
enabled to lay their stocks down at prices much be-
low what they have been in the habit Of paving
Northern houses for the same class of goods. They
can now better compete with other markets, and
trust the interior trade will continue to patron
ize their people instead of enriching Northern
fanatics who really have sympathy for US or our
institutions.
The tail trade has opened very briskly, and mer-
chants who have visited our city are much pleased
with the stocks of goods exhibited to them If the
direct importers to be encouraged and they Ger
tainly should be, neighbors Of Georgia. Alaba-
ma and Tennessee should help to grease the wheels.
We are sure none will regret visit to Charleston
