Sale of the Tribune,

| NEW YORK, December I6.-Fifty-one
| shares of the capital stock of the Tribune
| Association, constituting a majority, were
| to-day sold to William Orton. The parties
| going out, besides Mr. Sinclair and the rep
| resentatiyes of the deceased proprietor, are
| George Ripley, Whitelaw Reid, John Hay,
! Thomas 81. Rocker, Phil Fitzpatrick Patrick
| okOurke and DR.. c. J. Aver. Each of the
Old proprietors was earnestly requested to
retain part of his stock. Messrs Reid and
Hay refused onsselling $40 900 worth; of the
other $40, 900 worth, Messrs. Ripley, Rocker,
Fitzpatrick and ORourke consented to re-
tain barely one share each. DR.. Aver sold
eight OF his fourteen shares. OF the fifty
one shares purchased it is understood that
eight are reserved for Schuyler C0lfax, who
Is to be invited to assume the editOrshp. Mr.
Reid declined, and announced that imme-
dlately on making the sale he had rendered
his resignation as acting editOr-in-chief to
the secretary Of the board Of trustees Mr.
dlay also declined to remain editOrially con-
nected, and other designations from the
staff have since been rendered. Mr.. Orton
then requested Mr.. Reid, as a personal
favor, to remain in charge Of the paper for
q little time, continuing its policy un-
changed, and he consented until the end of
the present week. 1t has been for forty
sight hours uncertain to which side the sale
would probably be made, the majority of
trustees, and who desired to continue the
paper on basis of Mr.. Greeley's card. with
Mr. Reid at its head, needed only eighteen
shares of stock to secure d clear majority.
mr. Reid offered to buy these at ten thous-
and dollars share cash, or at q considera-
bly, larger price, but Mr.. Sinclair had Sc
cured enough of them to prevent him mak-
ing up the number. Messrs Ray and
Hay also offered Sullivan $3.50 for his
OWE shares and the twelve of the Clarke
estate, which he controlled, and all the other
trustees insisted that Sinclair was bound
under the laws Of the association to sell
them before selling at the same price to
outside parties. Sinclair, however, claimed
10 be under obligations to others, which he
could not discharge save by completing the
transactions for tifty-one shares with Mr..
Orton, who represents Ex-Governor T.. %.
Morgan, ex-Surveyor A. B. Cornel, and
others of that wing Of the Republican party
who are to unite with 0rton in carrying the
stock in the final sale. Sinclair retained
three of his shares, and it is understood de-
sires to be publisher. Those siding with
Messrs. Reid and Hay were George Ripley,
Z. w. Rocker, Philip Fitzpatrick, p.
0'Rourke, Oliver johnson, 6. Z. Rumplo
and Johp i. Cleveland, Efr. Greeley's
brotherin-law, who represented his eRn

Fort st. Philip GanaP,


We presume thera ia Nc one enterprise
now @toot which ia more Important to the
commercial interests of Sdis city than the
successful prosecution Of the proposed delta
canal below New Orleans, near Fort St.
Philip. for many years it has been eyi-
dent to the entire commercial world that
the commerce Of Eew Orleans must r, main
in an unsatisfactory aud crippled condition
so long. as her ocean outlets were confined
to the natural mouths Of the Mississippi,
and st. Louis and he entire shipping inter
ests of the Mississippi basin must inevita-
bly, share TO greater Or less degree this q IS
advantage. therefore, we repeat that the
proposition to cut a ship canal from the
Mississippi into the gulf, in the vicinity of
Fort ST. Philip, so long and persistently
urged by New Orleans is of first class inn
portanCe TO this city, and should be most
vigorously sustained by our merchants, and
By their several trade organizations. %he
commercial convention, which has but just
adjourned its sessions in this city warmly
recommended Congress- to mako the appr0-
pTiati0n needed to build this great national
work, and mr. Sypher, % member of the ma
ti0nal House from louisiana, has intro
duced a bill bringing the matter directly
before the attention of Congress. This bill
was read twice, referred to the Committee
on Commerce, and ordered to be printed.
Here follow extracts from the BILL
&t will be seen by the above extracts that
this enterprise has crystalized at last, and
is row in position where it needs all the
support the Mississippi valley can give it.
1t must not be looked upon as measure for
the aggrandizemeDt of New 0rIeans or of
st, Lonis. Every inhabitant in the great
Mississippi basin is personally interested in
its success to degree which it is not posi-,
Ole TO fully realize at this time The farmer
raises produce and live stock 20 sell. He
wants a.gOod price, but if the Mississippi
river is to be perpetuauy impeded at It's
mouth, so that the tonnage of the
worlds consuming points can not come
INTO our river to carry away this pro
duce, how is the farmer TO get q good
price for what he raises9 Let the delta
canal be built, and the problem is solved.
Fhe Board OF Trade Of this city
and our Merchants Exchange ought TO ap-
point special joint committee who should
make it their business to attend directly TO
thN fortunes OF this bill. Why can not the !
West arise with the same unaQimity of
spirit and prosecute an enterprise involv-
ing Congressional appropriation as char
aUterizes such matters where the East is in
tereSted? New York wants $20,O00,O0 900 for
d ship canal around Niagara Falls. She
wants Si00, 900, 900 for ship canal across
the Isthmus, and she will ultimately secure
both these appropriations, because she
never ceases to push for them. and to use
ati known means, honorable. legal and
- otherwise" to influence legislation and
secure her ends. Let st. Louis and the |
Mississippi basin in genera! profit By her
example.

The exhibition of Mr. James Robinson ID

Robinson has not only gained name as the
best bareback rider in the world, and fo.
the completeness and excellence of bis cir
Gus. but by attention 10 the comfort and

old. the accomplished Mile, Celeste Stanley,
of European fame, and Mr Frank Pastor.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
In memorial recently addressed to the
| Legislature of this State, asking for a
change in the law governing the assessment
and collection of State and city taxes,
occurs the following unjust reflection on the
Department of Assessments
In almost all cases, the claim Of The prop
erty holder, supported by his solemn oath,
has been considered by the assessors as a
trespass upon their time, and was thrown
aside as waste paper, not worth their con-
sideration, and there is no remedy for the
arbitrary, unjust and tyrannical manner in
which these officers fulfill the duties of
their ofice-these remarks applying with
equal force and Vigor 9s well to the State
40 to the city assessors.
Che following extracts from reports made
by che Administrator OF Assessments to the
Gity Council will show thar these cora
pl~ints are Nnfounde&:
