of the trotting species, and two used
for hacking by the young Grants, and
for marketing. The carriage horses
are magnificent creatures, of Kentucky
stock, and cost $4,000. The fast or
trotting horses arc not so grand or
imposing, but cost more, while the
others are ordinary horses with no
considerable value.
His carriages consist of barouche,

NEW YORK, Feb. l4.-At the opening of
Oyer and Terminer to-day, McKeon, one of

direct the verdict Of the accused, on the
ground that the District Attorneys pleas

against Stokes. Judge Cardoza said he
would hear the evidence and decide accOr-
dinghy. Two motions made by Graham. of
the Stokes counsel, for quashing the in
dictment, were denied, and the case was
proceeded with, Geary opening for the de-

view to his suits against the Mansfield

ced tOprove that the panel had been lille
gally interfered with.

The English Dilemma.

A special London dispatch says that no
English government continuing negotiation,
in regard to the treaty of Washington as
the case stands, could hold Office twenty
four hours. This, it Is absolutely certain,
cannot stand too mphatieally. Should this
government go out on this issue, their sue
cessors, from the nature of the case, would
be equally prevented from continuing the
negotiations. Therefore the arbitration
is ended, land the opportunity for an accom-
mediation will be lost, unless a mutual un-
derstanding for modifying the point of in
direct losses is arrived at. The English
government having positively refused to pay
a gross sum for all damages, a proposition
of that nature cannot now be advanced.
Should the American government renew
its own the proposition made March
s in the protocol, it could be arranged on
the basis that England pay the highest sum
named by America, thirty million dollars in

MEMORIAL CELEBRATION. annual
memorial celebration and decoration of
graves of Confederate dead took place at

Wednesday. The Dispatch says:
Yesterday the decora atoms equalled, if
they did not surpass, those of any former
occasion, and when night settled ever the
City of the Dead the moon shone on a
mass of flowers. A new feature in the
celebration was afforded by the presence
of the military in uniform ,--most of the
companies having been organized during
the past year, and many of them bearing
the names Of those number of whose
members sleep in the cemetery. The
crowd on the grounds was variously esti-
mated at from twelve to fifteen thousand.
and the latter figure is probably not above
the mark. The avenues were all throng-
ed, and the hillsides and valleys we're
dotted with groups.
