Negotiations between the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company and Messrs. Jay Cooke & Co. have
been concluded by contract, in which these bankers
secure a large interest in the franchise of the Road
and undertake its fiscal agency Surveying parties
will be put in the field this Winter, to determine
fundamentally tho best and shortest route between
Lake Superior and Puget Sound. These surveys on
three different portions of the route, performed in
drifting SHOWS and frost will be severe and costly
but the contractors of the Road are impatient to
make a beginning, and are in earnest to prosecute
the enterprise certainly without delay, and if posi-
bic, without intermisson. On the reports Of these
surveying parties the line of the Road will be
located and the construction of its eastern division
forthwith commenced, while contracts to make the
Road in Minnesota will be advertised TO let next

On Tuesday Mr.. Sweeny had completed his
arrangements for starting Tammany in the
banking and gold-speculating business by TAX
ing possession of the Tenth National Bank.
Yesterday he played another card at Albany in
the form of bill to set up Tammany in tho
business of fire insurance. The bill empowers
"the Mayor, Aldermen, and CommOnalty
"of NewYorll to make assurances on dwelling
"houses stores, and all other buildings, with the
"same powers and rights exercised by any fire
insurance company organized under the laws
"of tho State.n And "there shall be n Super
"intendent at salary of not over $4,000
"year." Imagine the Aldermen and Council
men sitting as q Board of Directors in such a
capacity, and imagine the consequences, IL you
can. Sweeny's appetite is enormousj already
he has ordered for his legislative dinner the
License law, the Police Department, the Croton
Aqueduct, the Board of Health, tho Fire De-
partment, the Charities and Corrections estab-
lshment; and now picks up National Bank
and all tho Insurance business of tho city for
side dishes. We presume his capacity for deS-
sert will not be satisfied with less than tho
serving up Of tho remaining banks, railroad
and steamship companies. and such other

the Postal service was abolished. The peu-
tons against the franking privilege continue to

WeEss Report for 1862
According to the census returns of the
United States in 1860, we had in the States
and Territories 2,163,1O5 sheep, and in 1850,
q, 723, 22O. The corrected Report for 1860, made
the number of sheep in 1860, 23,66S,915, being an
increase of less than two millions of sheep in
the States and Territories in ten years. In
1866, Great Britain had 25,7947O9, of which
number England had 15,1A,541. In 1868,
France had 1921 ,592 sheep-10,612,6U more
than the United States had in 1860. France has
132. sos, 742 acres of land. England had 40
sheep TO the 100 acres Scotland, EGG; and Ire
land 10 to the 100 acres From 1850 to 1860,
the per centage of increase of sheep in the United
States was about per cent; and the quantity
of wool raised in the United States and Terri
tories to each person was little over 2t pounds.
In 1868, the number of sheep in the States,
not including the Territories, was 37,724279 an
increase over 1860 of 4,O5J 364; being nearly GO
per cent in eight years-and an increase in tho
number of pounds of wool raised in the States,
over 1860, at 269 pounds to the sheep, of some
10000 900 pounds-about two-tbirds of the guam
tity raised in the whole country in 1860. And
vet the Special Commissioner gravely tells the
people in his Report, that TO Unrest capital On
more woolen spindles W0uld be WdSte!
We imported for the year ending June 80,
1868, "a. ,217 pounds of wool, OF the value of
1854; and the imports of the manufactures
of wool for the same period were in value, in
gold, $685. 1929. The Commissioner of Agri-
culture, in his Report for 1868. says:

Things may be libels in one part of the
country, and quite pointless in another. At
the West, whisky is o delicate subject, and we
notice that one Mr.. st. julien Cox has brought
an action against The st. Peter Tribune for
charging him with carrying around with him
"three two-ounce vials of Spiritas frumenh,
"and offering a share to his acquaintance
The innuendo, as we understand it, is in the
small style of Mr.. Coxs samples; but then,
perhaps, these were of rare quality and of a
peculiarly exquisite flavor, like the Cape wine
which Foote told a penurious host was every
"little of its age" We trust that Mr. Cox's
damages will be all that under the cifcum-
stances he may deserve.

The Philadelphians are in rapture over the
high chest C of the tenor, Signor Lefranc, and
especially at the way in which no jumps up to
it, not by musical graduation, but, so to speak.
at a bound. This, says correspondent OF Ihe
Boston Advertiser, is phenomenal, and must
abe olassed with the guns and anyils OF the
Coliseum That the high of the Signor
would have been an immense addition to the
raptures of the Jubilee we are not disposed to
deny; but we believe that we once heard
Templeton, the English tenor, make the same
jump-and very pretty trick it was declared
to be. And talking of musical feats, we may
alude to wonderful invention which, 1t Is
stated, has just been made in Cincinnati. OF
the peculiarities of this continuance we only
know that man can perform Gf he knows
howl a most ravishing solo upon flute or
violin, and at the same time accompany him
self upon the piano-fOrte. How this is done,
we cannot even guess; but if it can be done,
it must be one Of the greatest wonders of this
wonderful age. We see no reason why the
artistic should not play at the same time the
cymbals with his elbows, and string Of bells
strapped to foot and knee. There are musical
possibilities which make us regret more than
ever that the Coliseum is no more

Two important Canal bills were offered in
the State Senate yesterday. The first partially
reorganizes the Canal Department, allowing
the Commissioners of the Canal Fund to APP
point chief Clerk and other necessary Off
GERS the Clerk to be the Auditor of the
Canal Department. This last is intended
to get rid of Canal Auditor Bell, who
has two special disqualifcations for
holding Office under the Sweeny admis-
istraton; first he is Republican, and, sec
ond, he is an honest man. Another bill re-
peals all laws for repairing canals by contract,
and abolishes the Contracting Board throwing
the entire business of management and re-
pairs, the appointment of subordinate officers,
&C., into the hands of the Canal Board, the
power to be exercised at their discretion and
in their own way.

Ex-Secretary Thomas Ewing writes to Gus
that his son, Gen. Hugh Ewing, Mr.. Andrew
JohnsOn's U. S. Minister to the Hague, IS a
resident of Kansas to which State he is ac-
credited; that he was a man of mark in the
Territory and in the State, and that he has
authentic adyices that since he has been in
Europe Gen. Ewing has "indulged in total alb
"stinence from wine and alcoholic drinks"
Having printed contrary statement from
Washington, we cheerfully give space to this !;
but have doubts of our own as to whether it
constitutes a sufficient reason for the retention
by President Grant in that desirable diplomatic
position of a man whose political position and
sympathies are at war with the principles Of
the great party that placed Gen. Grant in

Two letters, one by Secretary Fish and the
other by Attorney General Hoar, give us an
unusual illustration of the mind of the Gov
eminent respecting the Cuban question. One
Of them explains on what grounds the United
States might have recognized Cuba, and the
other tells us precisely why we did not. No
Spanish Minister has ever received such a
home-thrust as does Mr.. Roberts in the pas
sage of Mr.. Fish's letter which reminds him
that the republics of Peru, Chill, and Bolivia
had waited months instead of days,
and until scores of conflicts had been
fought, before they recognized Spain's
opponent Not so did Spain herself when she
recognized the Southern Confederacy. The
best argument yet made for the recognition
of Cuban belligerency is undoubtedly the one
which Mr.. Fish quotes from the Spanish writer
on international law, Riguelme: Foreign in
"tervention in civil wars" this writer holds,
"may be excusable when the interest of hui
"manlty evidently requires it, or when the
Essential interests of State are injured by
"the civil war of a neighborng power"

The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
has taken into consideration a bill directed
against the consolidation of the Companies
holding the English and French Cables. The
bill will make it necessary for the proposed
Cable consolidation to obtain the consent OF
the Postmaster General of the United States
before some of its arrangements can be carried
into effect, inasmuch as our Government
lays fast hold to the right to impose con-
ditions to the landing of the Cable upon our
shores. However much the Franco-kebei
monopoly may count upon being reinforced by
its English associate, the United States threaten
to be an obstacle to its designs unless 1t acts
in oood faith and abandons its exclusiveness.

4 The Kentucky Legislature has passed very
consderate bill cxempting ministers from ex-
"ecution." 1t should be understood that this
alludes not to the lynching Of Anti-Slavery
ministers, nor to the hanging of clergymen who
may indulge in MURDER but to ministers who
run in debt, and either cannot or will not pay
up-in fact to that little document which com
mauds the Sheriff to take the body, unless he
can find satisfactory property. We trust that
the Kentucky preachers will show their graft
tude by keeping out Of debt, in which laudable
effort they will probably be assisted by the ira
ders of their respective neighborhoods.

To the lamentable story of the sinned-against
and SHINING Methodist minister, told in other
columns, we have no heart to add q word of
comment. We print the mans piteOus appeal,
precisely as it reached us, and leave it to
speak for itself. The young lady is
again under her fathers roof; the minister
is in the Tombs; the wronged wife is left to
assuage her own SORROWS; the birds Of il-omen
that scent every foul thing from afar, are
flocking to their quarry. We tell the story as
simply and briefly as we may and leave it,
