Postal Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, Dec, 10.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 19.
The Postal Telegraph bill, reported by
Senator Ramsey, is the Hubbard bill
with sundry notifications. The Post
master General is required, as soon as
practicable, to establish telegraph office
at Post Offices on telegraph circuits,
and at others, within ten miles of these
where the salary is at least three hun
dred dollars per annum, and other
places where the wants of business re-
quire it. The charge for transmission
not to exceed one cent per word for cir
cults of $50 miles, counting address and
signature with no rate less that 25 cents,
except in case of night messages, for
which 1000 miles shall be circuit. The
tolls are to be prepaid by stamps. De-
livery within one mile of the office is to
be free, and above one mile, the rate is
to be fixed by the Postmaster General.
Government messages are to have prior
ity, and to be sent at tateS fixed by the
Postmaster General. Press reports are
to be 70 cents per 100 words, not ex-
ceeding 500 miles at night and $1.00 by
day, with drop rates at intermediate
offices of so cents at night and rs cents
in the day. The rates for press associ-
alton not to exceed those now paid Five
cents postage is to be paid on each press

CREDIT MoBuIER. The completion of
Mr.. Oakes Ames' testimony and his
cross-examination by Judge Black was
the substance of the business accom-
plished by the Credit Mobilier inyestiga-
ton committee Wednesday. Mr.. Ames,
it is said, by special dispatch TO the
Boston Advertiser, stood the ordeal un-
expectedly well, and the result of his
encounter with Black was altogether
unsatisfactory to the judge and his client,
McCOmb. 1t is said that the proceed
ings fully developed the disreputable
character of McCombs suit, out of which
the present investigation grows, and
that publicity was given to Mr.. Ames'
private letters, merely to aid an un-
worthy cause. Mr.. Ames himself ex-
presses entire satisfaction with the re-
suits. His three days examination and
intimations from the committee justify
this confidence. On the other hand sew
eral members whose names have been
mentioned in connection with the credit
Mobilier are not altogether pleased with
Mr. Ames' frank statement of facts, and
have already developed decided cool
ness toward him. Thursday Mr. Alley
gave his evidence: The assertions of
McComb relative to the dispute between
Mr.. Alley and james Brooks, in regard
to the amount of Credit Mobilicr stock
which the latter should have, is unquali-
fieuly denied by Mr.. Alley, who says
that he never held any conversation
whatever on the subject with Mr..
Brooks, and 50 far from favOring his ap-
pointment as government director, as
MCCOmb alleges, opposed it and earnest
ly advocated another candidate. Mr..
Alley gave the committee a complete
history Of the operations of the Credit
MObiler of Mr.. Ames' connection with
it, of the circumstances which led him
to offer stock to members Of Congress,
/ and, in one or two cases within his per-
sOnal knowledge, statements of the en-
tire transactions with members. The
facts developed in these cases will show
q simple business transaction involving
/ discredit to neither party. MIR. Alleys
testimony will probably close the ma
terial portion of the committees work
until after the holidays, when it is alto
gethcr likely the investigation will pro-
ceed with open doors, the feeling of the
House being unmistakably in favor of
( this course.

THE GAYsvILLE GoLD.-The gold min
ing business, which has been so yigor-
ously prosecuted by Messrs. Saltery &
Smith, on Smith Island, in Gaysville,
on Stony brook, about one mile from
Gaysville has been brought to a close for
this season, on account of the cold
weather. There works seem to be a
complete success, having by their scien-
tific plan in using sieve boxes and con-
centratOrs, been able to concentrate and
reduce, to it's proper state, large guam
titv of black metallic sand, from which
with their newly improved amalgama-
tor, they have been able to extract a
quantity of gold, which has seemed to
meet the expectations of the proprietOrs,
who are expecting to commence the
prosecution of their works early in the
spring, and to carry them on even more
extensively than they did the last sea-
son. Mr.. Saltery, one of the proprietors,
is working gold mine in North Caro-
lima. This winter Mr.. Smith has on
hand at his residence in Gaysville, a
small quantity of gold dust, and some in
bullion, taken from his last clearing up,
which he is selling. The gold is of the
very finest quality, being in fineness
956-1000. The pieces taken out the past
season vary in weight and value from
1-20 of a grain to S1.20, and the deeper
the cut is made, the heavier and coarser
the gold is found, and being near the
bedrock. on Stony Brook, as was ex-
pected, the last clearing up was the best
of the season. and the same proves true
on the Island. Twenty dollars worth of
gold was the result of two men shovel
ing into sluice boxes thirteen hours, and
the third hand fOrked the stones out of
the boxes at the same time, and this
from gravel that had not been graul

Robbers and Robbed.

The Pail Mall Gazette is under the
impression that any person who, enter
ing confectioner's shop on hot sum-
mer day, asked for an ice and was
served instead with cod and oyster sauce
or fried soles, would feel himself some
what aggrieved. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that the fish curers, fish fry
ers, costermongers, and others frequent
ing Billingsgate Market in London pro-
test against a custom pursued by the
statesmen there of selling small baskets
nominally containing fish, but in reality
half filled with ice At ameeting held
by the malcontents the other day, to
protest against the use of small baskets
in the market, and to memOrialize the
statesmen to adopt a general plan ''of
weighing all fish on the principle OF ten
stone to the kit some curious revelations
were made respecting the fish trade. 1t
seems that about four years ago 1t was
the custom of the statesmen to sell fish
coming from Hull and Grimsby in bas-
kets or kits containing ten stone. The
cOstermOnger and small dealer was then
able to obtain a small profit, but by lit
tie and little the baskets have diminished
in size, growing ''small by degrees and
beautifully less" until at the present
time, it is alleged, they only average
five stone, although the price remains
about the same as the ten-stOne basket.
The poor dealers declare they are robbed
in a wholesale manner by the use of the
small baskets, and are unable to get their
living. They further complain of the
large quantity of ice put into the baskets
in winter time, when ice is plentiful and
fish are scarce. One speaker said that
out of four baskets he purchased one at
least was all ice; another said that when
he bought a gallon of whelks or wrinkles
he knew what he got, but when he
bought basket of fish he did not know
the weight Of it. 1t might be all fish or
all ice. He was ignorant of its contents
until he had opened it. In the end a
resolution was passed that on and after
the 2d of December all fish coming to
London from Hull and Great Grimsby
shall be sold in baskets of ten stone, and
it is to be hoped that the public, who
probably are the chief sufferers by the
practices complained of, will gain some
benefit under the proposed change of
system.

4 CASE OF ABDUCTION.-We Wednesday,
December 4, Henry Iby, foreman on the
Underwood farm, on the Lake Shore
road, few miles south of Plattsburg,
ran away with a young girl only twelve
years Of age, named Ethel, daughter of
Orson Caswell, who resides on Ruger
street, about mile west of Plattsburg.
1t appears that during the past season
Mr. Caswell has resided with his family
on the Unerwood farm, but owing to
some trouble with the foreman, Iby, he
removed to Captain RansOm's farm,
short time since Last week Wedncs-
day, Dec 4, Iby induced Mrs. Caswell
to 90 down to the Underwood farm, to
assist in working butter Mr.. Caswell
was at work for John SanbOrn. During
this absence of both parents, Iby man
aged to get the girl away from home,
and started with her on the afternoon
train for the West. At Mooers he pur-
chased a half-fare ticket for her as a
child. At Ogdensburgh he registered
them as man and wife.
As soon as Mr.. CaswelI learned the
situation he procured a warrant before
Esquire Crowley, and Marshal Dow was
sent in pursuit. Dow seldom makes
failure of anything he undertakes, and
Wednesday, the 18th inst, dispatch
was received from him at Plattsburgh,
stating that he had overtaken the parties
at East Saginaw, Mich, and lodged Iby
in jail, and that he should start at once
for home with the girl. Iby left every
thing uncared for on the Underwood
farm, and for twenty-four hours the
stock were without food or drink. Iby
will, no doubt, find close quarters for
some time to come. If there was law
which would subject him to a public
ducking regularly once a week during
the remainder of his natural life, it
would seem to be very appropriate in
such a case. Reports in regard to de-
tails differ. One report which comes
pretty direct is that Iby had the whole
family on his place, excepting the
father, which consisted of the mother,
daughter and son; that Tuesday night
be drugged the mother and son, and
that he absconded with the girl the next
morning before the other members of
the family came to their full conscious
ness. The same report says that the
boy drove to the depot with them in the
morning and returned, but don't recol-
lect anything about it nOw-he was so
under the influence of drugs. This ap-
pears to be little mixed, but is inn
material -PLattSbuTgh Sentinel.

MONTPELIER AND WELLS RIVER RAIL
RoAD.-The directors of the Montpelier
and Wells River railroad have concluded
to suspend further work in ironing the
road this winter. Among the reasons
which have induced this decision are the
cold weather, and the depth of snow
which interferes with the work, and,
greater than all, the fact that iron is
steadily receding in price, so that they
expect to make a considerable saving by
delay At the earliest possible moment
in the spring operations will be resumed,
and by the first day of July it is expect
ed that the road will be opened its entire
length. The Montpelier Watctman says
that they are authorized to deny the
statement, which has appeared in sew
eral papers, that the road twill be
leased and run by the Boston, Concord
and Montreal railroad" There is a re-
corded vote of the stockholders of the
road forbidding its officers from making
any lease of the road to any parties
whatever, and we are assured by those
who certainly ought to know, that they
have no such intention.

AN AwKwARD CASE OF MISTAKEN
IDENTITY. - The Baltimore Ame7-5c0n
vouches for the following: A case that
illustrates the liability of persons to
make the gravest mistakes in the identi-
fiCatiOn of those with whom previously
they nave come in contact occurred ia
this city few days since, but has been
kept secret in the hope of capturing
sharper who, by false pretenses, defraud
ed a Pratt street merchant out OF 300
pounds of butter worth $8l. The rogue
got away with his booty, and the mer-
chant, in hunting for him, came upon
gentleman whom he at once identified
He recognized the size, manner and
general appearance. His dress was ex-
actlv the same, and so also was the pecu-
liar expression of the face. and the style
and color of the hair and the beard. The
SUSPECTED individual was arrested, and
proved to be one of our most popular,
esteemed and venerable clergymen. He
took it coolly,, bat his friends were in
dignant that he should be suspected OF
such rascality as that alleged; but neither
the clergyman's GOODNESS nor the heat OF
his friends changed the opinion OF the
merchant He was still confident that
he had got the right man. When the
case came to trial it was shown by the
testimony of numerous witnesses that at
the very time when the rogue was de-
frauding the merchant of the butter, the
suspected individual was conducting ser
vices Ia a meeting in his church. OF
course the clergyman was at once acquit-
ted, but 1t is still an open question who
got the butter.

RESIGNATION OF REV. L. VI. HAYNES.
at the First Baptist church, in Lewiston,
Me-, on Sunday, the pastor, Rev. E. NJ.
Haynes, rendered his resignation of the
pastorate, to take effect not later than
the first of March or the first of April.
Mr.. Haynes is well known in this coun-
ty and State, having been pastor of the
Baptist church in Wallingford, and, sub
sequently chaplain of the Tenth regi-
ment of Vermont Volunteers, in the war
of the rebellion. He, after the close of
the war, published history of the regi-
ment, which ranks among the best of
regimental histories that have been is
sued from the press. Mr.. Haynes is SON.
in-law of Hon. David Z. Nicholson of
this place. The Lewiston Journal, in
speaking of the resignation, says: ''Mr.
Haynes will have been pastor of this
church four years on the first of April,
during which time he has not only deep
ly attached to himself his church and
his congregation, but has won hosts of
friends outside of his own parish. We
are sure that not only his own congrega-
tion, but our citizens generally, will
regret to have so excellent a minister
and pastor, and so public spirited citi-
zen remove from ou city. Our public
schools, especially, viii lose in him as
one of the school committee for several
wears, most earnest friend"

AN M. P. ON REPUBLIoANIsM. AT the
annual meeting of Bolton England Re
publican Club, letter was read from
Mr.. Auberon Herbert in which that gen.
tleman said amongst other things am
glad that your club continues to be
prosperous | am hopeful about the fu-
ture, though much-I might say every
thing-depends upon ourselves and the
manner of men we are of. Unless we
can build our Republic, as MazZini used
to teach us, upon moral and religious
idea-I use these words in their largest
sense-it will not profit us much. As
Republicans we are bound to show,
above all men, an esteem and respect for
the weapons of reason and argument; !;
an aversion to every form OF violence
and intimidation; patience with opin-
ions different from our own, and a de-
termination that for no pretence whatso-
ever-even for the defeat of tempora-
ry evil-will we allow such a power to
pass into the hands of the State as may
depress the growth of individual liber-
ties. / lay great stress on this last point,
because / believe that the only happy
and progressive rule of modern society
is that we should not seek to have power
