Reported sale OF tho Southern Pacific
kaiIrOEtl.

From The San Francisco CAroniclt JAM g.
4 ru1nor prevails in well-infor1ned circles that
Goyc:::cr Stanford has sold the Southern Pa-
cifc Railroad to Thomas Scott. Our info1ma-
tion is not Of such character as to enable us to
give any assurance Of tho fact, but tho proba-
bilities very strongly point to this conaumma-
tion. The Southern Pacific embraces the road
from San Francisco, By way Of San 1ose and Gil
roy, through the valley of the Salinas and con
meets with the roads that are to accommodate Los
Angeles and San Diego, and finally to connect
with the roads now in process Of construc-
tion from Marshall, Tex.a, BY tho thirty second
parallel, to the crossing Of tho Colorado, The
sale Of the Northern Pacific to Peter Donahue,
the sale of certain Market street property, the
r7mors that large amount Of money had to be-
used BY the Central Pacific Company in New
York to meet advances male to the Company
upon the security Of their bonds, and tho ne
cessity OF purchasing in the bonds Of the Com
pany in order to sustain the market, are all
straws indicating that the great Central Pacific
Company arc either embarrassed in their fnan-
ces or are inaugurating a change Of policy that
will divide their property and give control Of,
some OF their roadsto other parties. What the
effect will bo upon our city and State ne vii not
now undertake to speculate.

I am in receipt ot.a despatch from Fayetta
County, West Virginia, which states That most
shocking outrage and terrible tragedy occurred
in the ueighboFhood OF Mountain Cave, in that
months ago the people Of The same county vera
shocked by fatal a1ray, pyhicl, took place near
the sa1no locality, between two citizens, named
John O'Colen1an and Madison Neal. il which tho
latter was killed It is unfortunately my duty
now to record tho murder OF sister OF Madison
Neal, not more than o1e-half mile from the spot
whero her brother was sent without warning. to
an untimels gravo.
1t appears that the lady, who w:s buzom
and charming mountain maid, was yooed and
won by Alr. Potter, a very respectable, indus
trious, and worthy man, Thursday, the 23d
u1t., was the day set apart for the wedding, and
the twain we're united in the holy bonds Of we'd
lock. But, then, tho course OF true love does
not always run smooth, and so it Has With the
newly-ma1ried couple.
Tho marriage was celebrated with all the
usual ceremony and festiyity- Tho neighbors
ate and drank and danced to their hearts con-
tent until midnight, when the welded two were
left to retire. They had scarcely retired, when
they were disturbed by tho hideous sounds OF .
chdrirari that were waited towards them by
breeze so still that it scarcely disturbed the
floating. white mountain nists. As the
Sc, s,erenading party ne neared tho reaideuce Of
blowing horns and the beating OF tin-pan
tanlbourines were occasionally interrupted BY
tho more ahrif1, sharp, and ominous crack Of
muskets, shotguns and rifles. Soon the party
arrived at the house, aud then tho noise Of their
horrible instruments, coupled with tho inter-
mittent discharges Of the firearms, produced q
mcst alarming effect upon tho bride and BRIDE
groom. It WaA found that tho aerenadeEs NUM-

Will Of the Late MIR. Greeley.

New York, Jan. 2s-At White Plains yes
terdav the Greeley will case was before the
Surrogate, no compromise having been made
between the proponents and contestants. =
Neither of the Misses Greeley we're present
and the only directly interested patty in court
was Storrs, the executor of the will Of 1871.
Joseph Fl Choate, appearing as counsel tor
the Misses Greeley, said if two weeks postpone
ment were granted lie is satisGcda compromise
would be effected Besides he desired time TO
give the case further examination. The case
had now different phase as all the legatces
under the disputed will of 1871 had signed a
remuneration and 20 others now had right to
press claims against the estate. The. Surro-
gate decided that the executors of the will of
1871 could appear Oliver johnson, formerly
of the Tribune was then called as the first wit
ness. He said Mr.. Greeley spoke to him at
the time OF his wfc's death as ruined man.
He reproached himself with having Destroyed
the Tribune and seemed to have wildnrss III
his appearance He remarked that he wished
he was dead instead Of his wife. Witness be-
came then impressed that MIR. Greeley Was not
rational Such conversations were frequent at
that time. About November 9Th at meeting
ofTribune stockholders Mr.. Greeley said he had
ruined US all. He was somewhat incohercnt
He was not fierce but seemed melancholy. Wit
ness had the conviction then that Mr.. Greeley
was deranged Again on Nov. 10Th witness had
conversations with him in which he spoke Of af
fairs of the Tribune Witness is satisfied that he
was insane. Mr. Greeley was benevolent with
his means Witness did not know why he
should have lett his youngest daughter under
the guardianship of his eldest.
On cross examination, witness said the first
time he noticed any strangeness in Mr.. Gree
lev was October 9th At meeting Of the
Tribune trustees, witness repliodto Mr.. Gree
ley that he was not ruined Many, also, replied
that the Tribune was not ruined.

ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE GAZETTBl
CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON, January q, 1879.


SENATE. .ri..s
at the opening Of the Senate, to-day, VEG
President Colfax read a: communicatlon from
himself, stating the charges made against him
in the Credit Mobilier affair, and asking that a
committee of investigation, composed OF ma
iority Of bis political Opponents. be appointed.
Mr.. Pratt. of Ind. aid that representing as
he did in part the State represented by the
Vice President, it was proper for him to move
the appointment of the committee; he had
known the Vice President from his youth, and
believed him always honest. but in respect to
his desire, he moved the appointment OF the
committee. t
Mr.. Thurman, Of Ohio; said he could not, as
at present advised, vote for such resolution.
The Vice President was. not mombor OF The
Senate, nor responsible TO it. The only method
of reaching Vice President was by impeach-
ment by the House Of Representatives aud
tried by the Senate, and it would be highly
improper for the Senate to form or pronounce
an opinion in such cases, and in this manner
to forsta either favorably Or uniavorably.
However honorable may be the motives OF the
Vice President in asking this Investigation, he
had made a mistake in asking it.
The vote was taken on the resolution OF Mr..
Pratt and disagreed to.
Mr.. johnson, Of Va, presented the rcsolu-,
tons of the Legislature Of Virginia protesting
against the repeal Of the Bankrupt law: and
asking the extension of the exemption therein
to 81, 900.
At the close of the morning hour the bills
on the calendar we're considered, and several Of
no general interest passed.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
The House Of Representatives was engaged
