We have the news from Florence that ON
the 29th ultimo the Gazette d'ItGlSG of that
city bad published an official circular notify
ing all tenants that the Ministerial Council
had decided to transfer the government to

1t was reported yesterday that the President
informed the leading members of Congress that
he had determined to appoint j. w. Douglass

Douglas visiteds the White House to-day, but
the President made no mention of the matter to
him nor to prominent members of the Ways

White House. 1t is still thought that Douglass
will be appointed, but it does not appear that
the President has finally agreed upon it,

In conversation with several prominent Re-

New York and Pennsylvania politicians, than
he had during the whole of his administration.
He said it seemed almost impossible to satisfy
the various conflicting factions in those States.

transactions ST the Great Westera Telegraph
Company.


CHICAGO, Nov. 30--The Tribune this morn
ing makes an exposure of the financial transac-
tons of the Great Western Telegraph Com
pany, which has two lines in operation from this
city-one to Milwaukee and one to Omaha
which il true offers something new in schemes
for raising money. The Tribune says the capi-
tai stock OF the company is three millions, in
120 GOO shares of $25 each. Of the 10000 shares
constituting the whole of the stock 1882
shares was subscribed by Selah Reeve, and by
him conveyed to Josiah Snowden in trust for
the company, to sell the same, aud pay avails
back to Reeve in fulflment of a contract made
by the company with Reeve to construct
10000 miles of the companys line.
ln'accordance with this the stock is being
sold by the company throughout the country.
One of the bylaws of the company provides
that no certificates of stock shall be issued
until per cent. of the whole shall have been
paid in, and as it is left entirely optional with
the company as to when and how much the
assessments under forty per cent. on the stock
may be, it seems probable that those who sub
scribe for stock on these conditions are likely
to wait some time before they have any voice
in the election of directors or management of
the company. The names OF % most respect
able business gentlemen of this city are pub
lished as directors, and though these have been
formally elected by the company, it is alleged
that none of them have been qualified
as directors, and that they know nothing
of its business transactions. Recently suit
has been brought by some persons in the city
who subscribed for stock They filed bill
alleging fraud IN the contract maze Dy tn6 COM
pany with Reeve, in which it Is agreed to pay
him, at the rate of $500 per mile, for line of
poles, furnished with one wire, and addi-
tional 800 per mile for each additional wire,
viz, $400 per mile; when the poles are furnished
with two wires, $500 per mile; when furnished
with three wires, 5000 per mile; when furnished
with four wires, 800. 1t is alleged that line
of poles, with one wire, can be furnished at from
$125 to $130 per mile. This allegation is sus-
tanned by the testimony of at least half-a-dozen
telegraph builders of experience aud established
reputation. If the company should pay Reeve
at the rate of $500 per mile, it would leave net
profit of $440,000; and when he had fur
nished the full complement of four wires,
making the total cost to the
company 5000 per mile. The net profit on his
contract would be about 800, 000 The 40 per
cent. of money which the stockholders are TO
pay in before any certificates of stock are to be
Issued to them would amount to $1,000, OO0
This corresponds to the amount of the construc-
tion contract to Reeve at 5000 per mile, which
amounts to just 81, 100000. The construction
contract and the payments on the stock are
arranged that the money paid ia shall be paid
out to Reeve before the stockholders have re-
ceived any certificates of stock or have any voice
in the disposal of their money.

thing about his Career.
The last Legislature of North Carolina con-
tanned Republican majority of SO in the Senate
and A in the House, or n on Joint ballot. But,
by the suicidal policy pursued by the Southern
Republicans in almost every reconstructed
State, this overwhelming majority was sacri-
feed, and at the election held yesterday for a
successor to United States Senator Abbott, the
vote in the Legislature stood 9i for Ex-Governor
Zebulon B. Vance to 4S for Joseph G. Abbott,
the present Senator.
Zebulon b. Vance, the new Senator-elect, is a
native of North Carolina and was born in Bun
combe county, in that State, May 13, 1880. After
receiving a limited education he passed year
at the State University, and then studied law,
being admitted to the bar in 1858. In 1854 he
was elected to the State Legislature from Bum
combe county, and in 1853, on the resignation
of Hon. T. L. Clingman, was elected
the successor of the latter on the
Federal House of Representatives. He was re-
elected for the full term ending March 4, 1861
leaving his seat at the outbreak of the Rebel
lion, although a Wing and claiming
to have been Union man heretofore.
He was elected Governor of North Caro-
lima, and served in that capacity from 1861 to
1864. In the latter part of 1868 he addressed
significant letter to JEFF Davis on the subject of
peace, declaring that the only way of removing
the discomfort then prevailing in North Caro-
lima was by making some attempt at negotiating
with the Federal Government.
In August, 1864, he was again elected Gov
ernor, receiving 81, 900 votes to 10000 for Will
liam w. Holden, the result being that the State
would seek peace only in cooperation with the
other States of the COnfederacy. Vance re-
mained in the pretended exercise of his guber
material functions after the close of hostilties;
until May 20, 1865, when Holden was appointed
Provisional Governor. Since that time he has
been bitter and uncompromising opponent of
the Congressional policy of reconstruction, and

OUR RED BRETHREN.

Peace Negotiations to be Commenced with the
Apaches-A Meeting of the Indian Peace
Commission to be Held
Mr.. Vincent Colyer, secretary and member OF
the Indian Peace Commission arrived in this
city yesterday from an extended tour among the
Indians of Southern Kansas and the Indian
Territory, where, with Messrs. Lang and Far
well, he has been arranging for the sale of
the Usage lands, and providing a new
home for that tribe in the Indian Territory.
He also, in company with Bishop Armitage,
of Wisconsin, visited the Oneidas, in the north
ern part of that State, proposal having
come up before the last session of Congress
looking to the removal of that tribe from their
present reservation. 1t was found that the
bill had been introduced into Congress without
the knowledge of the tribe, and they were Bit
terly hostile to the measure. They are far
advanced in civilization having as good, we'll
constructed houses, barns, schools, aud
churches as the majority of the Western set
tiers. The commission then proceeded to the
headwaters of the Columbia river, in Northern
Idaho, Washington and Oregon Territories,
where the Indians were all found steadily ad-
vancing in the pursuits of civilized life. The
commissioners are much disappointed at not
having had time TO visit Arizona, where the
Apaches, under Cochiese, the most warlike,
probably, of the whole Indian race, are in per-
petual conflict with the whites. Cochiese, since
Red Cloud has made peace with the whites, is
the only really troublesome chief that the army
and the people on the frontier have to encoun-
ter. Ten years ago this chief, IN consequence
of violation of flag by the whites, swore
perpetual vengeance, and SO acted up to last
year, when he sent word to the agent of the
Southern Apaches, on the Rio Grande, that he
would come in and f0rsake the ''war-path." Up
to the present moment, however, the Govern
ment has not been able to avail itself of that
opportunity for making the peace that exists
with the Indians generally; but the attempt
will be made at the earliest practicable moment.
The Board of Commissioners will have Gan
early meeting in this city, and their report will
be given to the public.
The interview of Messrs. Brunot and Camp
bell with Red Cloud and the Sioux this sumner
which will form a portion of the report, has
already been given to the public Washington

The Hartfort Post of recent date says
notice that an action had been commenced
by Anna M. Buell., relict of the late Jeptha @.
Buell., of Cleveland, Ohio, against the Connecti-
cut Mutual Life Insurance Company, for the
sum of 0,O00, was received at their Office on
the 18th inst. Jeptha G. Buell. was insured in
the Connecticut Mutual Life under policy No.
$3.50, for $4,000, on the I'd day of March,
1866, and committed suicide by shooting him
self with pistol on the 18th day of November,
1869. Mr.. Buell. was insured in three other COM
panies for $1,000 each, making total insur-
ance OF $4,000. OF these companies the New
York Life insures against suicide, and has paid
its policy of $4,000. The Connecticut Mutual
Life, of this city, the Mutual Life, of New York,
and the Mutual Benefit, of New Jersey, do not
insure against suicide, aud these three compa-
nes have combined in the defense against the
suits brought on behalf of Anna M. Buell.. The
case will very likely be carried by either party
which is unsuccessful in the Circuit to the Su-
preme Court of the United States. We shall so
get an adjudication of the law of suicide which
shall be final and authoritative throughout the
United States.
Jeptha g. Buell. was cashier of the Second
National Bank of Cleveland, and becoming
defaulter, preferred death to exposure, dis
grace, and imprisonment. The Coroner's jury,
as usual in such cases, brought iu verdict that
he came to his death by a pistol shot delivered
by his own hand while in state of temporary
insanity We are led to remark here that in
sanity s alarmingly on the increase in this
country. According to coroners' juries, whose
verdicts are not very important in courts, every
man who gets insured and commits snicide is
insane, and every man who commits murder is
insane.
1t will be noted that it is over one year since
the loes occurred, and nearly year since the
right of q claim occurred and it was feared the
claimants would not commence an action. 1t is
a satisfaction that the commencement of the
actions is announced, as the large amount in
controversy, the ability of the plaintiff to
prosecute, the weight of three corporations de-
Tending, the ability of counsel retained on both
sides, assures a more satisfactory discussion
and authoritative settlement of the law of sui
eide as applied to life insurance contracts than
has vet been had.

New YORK, Nov. so 0-3'15 P. M.-The steamer
Robert Lowe sailed from Hearts Content on
Saturday last to repair the Atlantic cable of
1866, which was injured about sxty-ive miles
from that point. We have just received infor-
nation that the cable of 1865 has also ceased to
work. and that the fault is about the same dis
tance from Hearts Content.
1t is therefore probable that the steamer has
grappled the wrong cable. As the steamer is on
the spot it is hoped both cables will soon be re-
paired. Although the French cable is able TO
transmit westward with about its usual facility,
1t is from some unknown cause unable to trans
