THE managers of the new Merchants
Union Express company repudiate
very distinctly the rumors that they
are negotiating to sell out to the old
monopoly. They.say that the monopo-
ly has made no overtures TO them to
this end, and that if it could do so, it
would have an emphatic no in reply
We are glad to be assured that this is
the case, and we hope it will continue
to be so. The sad and early demise of
the late National Bankers company
and the similar fate ofother enterprises
which were started with as Virtuous
professions as the Merchants Union,
had led the public to believe
that selling out rather than eX-
pressing, was the design of all new COM
panies. We welcome the exception,
and trust it will always remain one.
The preliminaries of the Merchants
Union company are reported to be pro-
crossing satisfactorily. Arrangements
have been made with n large number
of railroads, agents have been appoint
ed on the New York Central and sever
al other roads, and it is expected that
the line will be in 1ull operation be-
tween New York and ST. Louis by Oc-
tober /. The company has purchased
the International hotel [Taylor's sa-
loom on Broadway, New York, for its
principal office.

MONDAY BOOMING, JULY 30.
WE congratulated our readers a fe,

WE congratulated our readers few
mornings since that within week we
would probably have news of the land
ing ofthe Atlantic Cable at New Found
land. And SO it has really happened.
The great cable is a success, incredible
as it may seem. We now are in instan-
taneous communication with the Old
World. Already we know, since land
ing the cable, that pence has been de-
clared; that the great war is over; that
once more there is quiet throughout
theeivilized world. Was this announce
ment not an suspicious first message
for the cable to bring us? Does it not
tell us in language thus made doubly
impressive, that peace hath her victo-
ries no less renowned than war" = is
well that the success of the greatest
achievement of modern times should be
the signal for war to cease-fOr new
career of the arts and sciences--for the
clears of the nations" to be dried2for
men to "learn war no more "-but to
give all their divine energies " to those
things which make for peace, and,
through peace, for the glory and perfeo-
ton of the human race.

oSE OF the bills lately passed by Con-
gress, gives the president authority to
appoint for service at the executive
mansion, private secretary with sal
airy of $500, an assistant secretary with
$500, stenographer with $500, par
don clerk with $1,000, three general
clerks with $1,000 each, and IL stewa I'd
with $1,000. The latter officer is to have
Charge OF all the plate, furniture aud
public property belonging to the White
House, and to give bonds for its safe
keeping. 1t is TO be hoped he will be
faithful to his trust, and that we shall
hear no more stories of parties leaving
the White House appropriating all the
mOvables. This arrangement of help
at the official mansion makes large
increase upon the present force, there
being now but one private secretary
authorized at salary of 5000. The
additional help that has been needed
and provided has been procured and
paid from other appropriations, the
law, as originally passed, not having
anticipated so much executive bust
ness as war and reconstruction have
brought.

ON Saturday last an individual known
in this region as ''Colonelp ]. G. Lane.
called at our office. and after settling
some business matters, proceeded to
animadvert pretty severely upon
charges that he said had been made
in this column of our paper, terminus
ting his interview with threat, equiv
alent, as we construed it, 'tto pistols and
coffee for two," if such things should
be repeated. Now We are not aware
that anything has appeared in the edi-
torial columns of the INTELLIGENCER
derogatory to the character of the said
Colonel J. G. Lane, and consequent-
~ his threat to hold the editors person-
ally responsible, is simply nothing
more or less than the merest gasconade.
We will state, however, for the "Colo-
nel's' benefit, that his threatening will
not deter us for one moment from pub
fishing in our columns whatever the
facts will warrant, either in his case or
that of any other person. He must re-
member shat there are blows TO be
received as well as given" The days OF
Southern plantation manners and brow
beating people for their opinions have
passed away, and ''CoIonel" j. G. Lane
might just as well reconcile himself 10
the circumstances surrounding him
now, as at some future period.

THE New York Journal Of Commerce
draws this picture OF our finances;
Gold has been lavished and driven
from the country; there are not seventy
millions to-day of actual coin within
the limits of the States east OF the Mis-
sissippi; the volume Of paper money is
vast, and not rising in value; and the
Treasury Department is still dealing
with its difficulties IN retail way,
without avOwed aim or plan, or even q
seeming appreciation OF the lperils in
the way over which it Is so blindly
creeping. s
The public offer of simple six per
cent long loan, to the amount of one
thousand millions, in which to fund the
seven-thirties, the certificates, the conn
pound interest notes, and other tempo
rary obligations of the Government, it
is argued, would have prevented all
this.

WILLIAM LLOYD GARRIsOE, life
long laborer in the anti-slavery cause,
finds himself, at the age of 81, poor, in
ill health and unable to commence the
work he had laid out for his declining
years, the writing of history of the
anti-slavery movement. His friends
therefore propose to raise NATIONAL
testimonial gift of $4,000 for him,
which will place him above want and
the necessity of toll for his daily bread,
and ask for contributions from all who
appreciate the labors of Mr.. Garrison,
and his influence in bringing about the
abolition of slavery. The circular in
viting cooperation is signed by such
men as Horace Greedy, William G. Bry-

plan IS approved in hearty letter
