p. G. r. Be1uregnrd, VI. Jnu1e4 RoI,b.
The New Orleans correspondent Of the Bos-
ton advertiser says: An election of general
interest il that OF Gen. P. G, T. Dcanrcgard as
president OF the New Orleans, jackson &
Great Ncrthern Railroad Company. He has
been actingas suprintcndent for some time,
but be and the late president could not agree,
the latter being dtsirous OF controlling every
thing. Gen. Beauregurd was always In high
esteem here, the peculiar pet of Louisiana,
and 1t is no evidence Of rebe1llous tendencies
or even rccollections that he is put In q COW
eted position. Our people have always re-
garded him not only as their ab1est engineer,
but as second to Done IN the country, add
they feel themselves very fortunate In secu-
ring his services.
But this election Of BeauEegara has od-
ditional significance from the fact that AIr
James Robb, on behalf of himself and other
bondholders, is now seeking to forec1ose GER
tain mortgages which he holds on the road
through construction bonds. AIr. Robb for
mer1y lived here. and was president Of this
road and banker and r1ch man, bnt got
man. 7enpora xnatantar, and Mr.. Cobb has
changed with them. he has recovered from
Of these bonds, and has influence
over more, and has sued the company
on them, with view to selling out
ms track and franchises. He tried to obtain
N to pS Lapsaa ts 5oaa
and Mississippi, TO its more northern and
western connections in Tennessee, aud thus
to become the railway king OF the southwest.
The election Of Eearregard Is intended to IN
augurate campaign Of resistance against this
movement, and We may expect to see IS much
strategy and engineering skill displayed In
the defence as in that which made Charleston

come to his knowledga." The marks upon
the boy now hcre correspond exactly to those
upon the oue he attended. and who was al.
flfctcd with 4 serious rupture, which the bow.
at the Asylum has also. Mrs. Rand's testf-
mony occupied The conrt during the cntire
day yesterday, md her counsel, 3Ir. Eaton.
has considerable more testimony to intro
duce, which he thinks cannot fail 70 convince
any reasonable person TINT the child Of Mrs
Rand was taken away while its mother slept
and another one substituted
On the other hand the pntative mother,
Mrs. Phillips. Staples, Wilder and Frost, she
having been married several times, claims to
be able to substantiate her claim to the boy,
who she says Is hers by Mr. Frost He WAS
admitted to the asylum SOME four years ago
under the name OF Edward Frost, and Is now
thirteen years Of age, and, as we have said
before, as charity pupil Of Massachusetts,
but during this time Ills mother, or she who
claims to be such, has paid little OF no atten-
tion to him.
The case is one Of tho, ,stzangest on record,
and will require the Judgment OF Solomon TO
decide. It will probably last for several
days, and q great deal Of interest is manifest
ed In the result.

a Railroad Alliance in TpiNcon+in.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel, ID inst.]

The report that has been prevalent In busi-
ness circles that consolidation had taken
place between the Milwaukee & St. Paul md
the Prairie du Chieu Railways, grew ont of
the fact that an agreement was effected some
few days since, between the directors OF the
rtspectlve companies. for pooling Of earn
fngs-by which certain portion Of the net
esrnfngs Of each road shall be shared by the
other. While this arrangement leaves each
road to cater to the public for lis share Of
traffic, and still Keeps up~a measure Of COM
petition, 1t will be readily seen that It unites
the two roads In certain bond OF union
against such strong monopo1ies IS the North
western. Of Chicago. Heretofore. each OF the
Milwaukee roads has been dependent on the
Northwestern for that portion Of Its traffic
which lay n the vicinity Of the other road,
and hence they were obliged to make conces-
Eious to the Northwestern which viii notuow
haye to be made Among these was the car
ryfne Of wheat to Chicago for the same rates
that were charged to MilwankeeAa manifest
injustice for which the st. Paul and Prairie
d1 ChIeu roads were greatly blamed, but
which their competition with each other coma
PEELED them to do. This sivn1Ty done away
With, neither road will now owe the North
western any concessions.

Congress can, with perfect safety, make

TO Congress the Secretary Of the Treasury
estimated the deficit Of revenue for the fiscal
year. ending June 80, 1866, would be :.

proves that he was entirely mistaken in tis
calculations. Instead OF deficit he i. IN re.
ceipt OF SO largea surplus that he is enabled
to pay OF sixteen millions OF debt in one

THE EFHEEDnENARRoAD.


A mass meeting was held ut Geneva, Swift
crlaud. on the a9th u1t., In favor OF the Amer
lean freedmen. Merle d'Aubignc, the cclr
brated Historian oi tho Reformation, and
other distinguished pcroonages, made speeches
on this occasion, which produced the utmost
enthusiasm. The resolution 10 present to the
Congress aud the Executive Of the Quilted
States an address Of congratulation upon the
dawnipg era of universal freedom In America,
was unanimously adopted.
It was stated by the Rev Mr. Buthcimer
that Abraham Lincoln's emancipation pFocIa-
nation had not only broken the chains OF the
slave, but placed the future Of RepublIcan3sm
everywhere upon new md inspiring basis.
The Councillor OF State, {Cartcrct,} secuted
the idea OF the unGtness OF the African
for freedom, and made an elaborate argument,
supported By Psychological data, In favor OF
his capabilities for the performance OF all the
political and soclnl duties OF citizenship. The
various learned, literary. artistic, musical,
vocal, and sha1pshooters' associations Of
Switzerland took an active part IN the eollec-
lion OF funds for the benefit of tho freedmen,
and committees were appointed for that pur-
pose In Basel, Bern, Lausanne, Zurich, Tcs-
sIno, etc. At Geneva alone the amount col
lccted was sixteen Thousand francs, and 1t IL
believed that the aggregate fund will evcntu.

Fhe Convention which met in this city yes-

cessionists, and 1t was largely attended,
clearly demonstrating the eaznestness and de-

political power. Tho only man Of any pro-

Union man, was ex-Goretnor Charles a.

Mrs. De Shon, now Mrs. Mary Jane Rand, re-

on nia person, and also a serious impedlnent
IN his speech. When the child was t'ye and q
: halt years old, 1t died suddenly while its mo-
ther WAS asleep. The singular appearance Of
the boy led her TO have IN autopsy made, aud
she afterward prosecuted the attending ply

the medicines. Rufus Choate was her counsel
ut this time. Some two or three years afler,
