Senator Ross on Friday secured the rejec-
tion of the person nominated for Postmaster
at Lawrence. Kansas. This was one Of the ap-
pointments over which Grant eud Ross had
their quarrel the other day. Ross in executive
session demanded that the selection OF post
master for senator's own town by courtesy
belonged to the senator, and in this was sus-
tanned, with only eight votes in the negative.
The following sentence from recent
sre,ch Of Senator Anthony, Of Rhode Island,
can hardly sound less than wonderful 10 the
landless millions of Europe. The senator said,
and no doubt correctly, that: 'There is no
part of the country where days labor that
any man, with stout arms and willing heart
however little he may be skilled, may perform,
cannot earn the price of an acre of good land,
at the government sales."

Ledger says: 1.-THE Imperialist' still lives not

etors are out in card to that effect, and pro-
fessing to be able to show that the paper has
already obtained a circulation OF over ten
thousand. AS yet. the names OF the propri-
etors are profound secret. The rumor ofits
suppression was an advertising dodge"
"A New York letter OF, Friday says: 1--WE
tshaye news from Albany, this afternoon, that
:the duch-talked of underground railroad job
has gone through the Assembly, by a vote of
eighty-three to ten. This job, if carried out,
F., will: demolish St. Peters Roman Catholic
: Church, in Barclay-street, and make sad
.baSSoc; with old Trinity even. Rev. Father
Quinn denounced the scheme, from st. Peters
pplpit; in very severe terms: on Sunday morn
ing last, and the Tablet of to-day, speaking
for the Catholics Of this city, gives notice that
mo railroad company will ever be permitted to
destroy that temple, be the consequences what
they may. The job no doubt viii go through
the Senate also; but veto awaits it in the
Executive Mansion. Whether it can be passed
over the veto remains to be seen."
"A curious scene was recently witnessed on
the Potomac, opposite Alexandria, which is
thus described by the Gazette Of that city: "a
gull had, with swoop, struck its talons deep
into the back Of a fish, the size of which it had
evidently mistaken, for instead OF bearing it
away, as it had intended, the fish not onlyre
manned in the water, but swan rapidly about
on the surface Of the river, mounted by its
:, ,Auttering and now alarmed assailant, which
was unable to disengage its claws from their
/, living fastenings. The bird in its endeavors,
irs first to carry off and then to free itself from
its intended prey, soon exhausted it's strength,
$ and it's efforts becoming gradually weaker
from exhaustion, the would-be captor became
the captured, was dragged screaming beneath
the water, and it's death notes choked by the
! ripping waves as they closed over it,
= The New York Central freight car thieves
had been carrying on operations for more than
year. They used to enter the cars at Utica
by means of the ladders leading down to the
side of the doors. The doors are not tlocked,
but are sealed with some kind of s leaden sub
stance. This the burglars would tear off with
@a nppers carried for the purpose. Once in
the cars, business was Immediately COM
meneed. If the goods were not of q desirable
kind, they would jump off and get on the next
freight train. The goods were generally &C.
lected before station was reached. As the
train Stacked, the thieves would throw the
goods, previously stuffed into bags, from the
cars and then jump off, and under the cover OF
darkness obtain them again and put them il a
/: safe place. One night the rascals did not make
their selection until the tunnel was reached.
Here they threw their bags out, and then came
into Syracuse and warmed themselves and
returned for their goods. On one occasion
they hid large quantities of goods in the woods
near Oneida, and then made two trips 10 that
place to secure them. Large quantities of
goods have been thrown away because the
thieves we're ignorant of their value. The
amount of the depredations will reach two
hundred thousand dollars.
"A Washington letter to the Baltimore Ga
zette says: "The fearful depravity manifested
in official circles here far exceeds anything
ever before known, and it has become 30 open
and palpable that leading Radicals are ex-
pressing great disgust. In a conversation
