CHARTER TALK At THE CITY HALL.

The Rush mt the Mayors Omcc-Inter-
view with the Chief Magistrate OF the
City-He Will Delay the Nominations

The news OF the signing OF the charter by the
Governor yesterday gave new impetus to the camor
OF the hungry oice-seekers who fondy hope that In
the "May grab" for place they may not fall at the
bottom OF the kaleidoscope and have their prismatc
beauties hid from the public eye. The Mayor did
not appear until after twelve O'Clock, but for
hours the hall had been alive with delegations, In
most instances sef-constituted, In the interest OF
an Observation-Disclosures who were sufficiently
heroic to apply In person for minor places as well,
As few modest yet anxious ones, who hoped that
by merely calling and showing their faces to the
chief they might induce him to remember

THE MAUD MERRILL MURDER.

Third Day OF the BlcaLley Trial-Opcn-

Again the Court OF Oyer and Terminer, Judge
Brady on the bench. was densely crowded yester-
day morning to witness the continuation Of the
trial Of Robert p. Bleakey for the alleged murder
Of his niece, Mary Ann Foley, otherwise known as
Maud Merrill, in December last, in a disreputabe
house In Nelson place. AS on the previous days,
the prisoner sat in remote corner of the room
apart from his counsel He leaned back most of
the time In listless way in his chair and seemed
apparently not to have the slightest interest in the
proceedings.
Alter tedious couple OF hours the jury was COM

Expiration

1t is an advantage, as we'll as soHc-
times misfortune, in the publication of
new book that the author has already
established a brilliant reputation rs a
writer An advantage in the spaedier
pecuniary reward that it is sure to bring,
and a misfortune in that the high anticl-
pations Of the reader are liable to be dis
appointed, disappointment that reacts
upon the author Mrs. Dorr, in her new
novel, Expiration" happily reaps the
fruits of the one, while she escapes the
shoals of the other We do not propose
to enter upon any critical analysis of the
work, nor, indeed, is it Unnecessary; neither
shall we detail the plot of the story,
leaving that pleasure for the thousands
of readers who will eagerly seek it, if
they have not already. 1t is sufficient
for our purpose to say that it is, as its
name imports, a story of the eXpiation
of a noble hearted woman for the one
error of her youth, and of the heroic
self remuneration of a young man in the
discharge of duty, both while, for a time,
bearing the cross receiving at last an
earthly crown of happiness; yet there is
nothing gloomy or ascetical about the
narrative, all being rather bright, cheer
full and natural. Unlike most Of the
modern school of novels, there is no at
tempt at book making, no introduction
of characters, not absolutely necessary
to the plot, no sentatiOnalism or sickly
sentimentality, and no waste of words to
fill out a given space. Every character,
every sentence and every word is neces-
sarv to the complete whole The style
is easy and flowing, couched in the sim
plest, purest English, and the plot, as
well as the beauty of the diction, en-
chains the attention of the reader from
the commencement to its close. There
is a vein of the best and purest morality
and christianity running through the
work, although, as the authoress says,
there are given no pellets of theology,
no glObules of doctrine, half buried in
the sweets of romance, neither is there
a mixture, palatable or otherwise, of
religion and love making" combined for
the purpose of attracting the attention
and winning the plaudits of the one class
or the other. The work can but COM
mand large number of appreciative
readers, and add new laurels to Mrs.
DORIS already enviable reputation. Mrs.
Dorr, with the publication Of her first
novel, took a front rank among
American writer's, and each succeeding
book has been an improvement of the
former, showing greater command OF
language, deeper insight into character
and broader and wider sympathy with
humanity in its various phases of love
and sorrow, error and its expiation, joy
and suffering. In this, her latest effort,
all of these characteristics have full play,
and we doubt not that the literary pub
lie will unite with US in pronouncing

THE UNION PACIFIC TERMINUS. The
officers Of the Union Pacific railroad
have presented a claim to the War De-
partment which will involve the settle
ment on the part of the government of
the question whether Omaha or Council
Bluffs is the legal terminus of the road.
The parties in interest have also made
up the case for presentation to the In
terror Department. Those contcnding
for Council Bluffs have a copy of Mr..
Lincoln's order fixing a point in Iowa
opposite Omaha as the terminus. The
chances now seem to be that the govern
ment will decide in favor of Council
Bluffs.

will be celebrated with extraordinary
festivities alone the whole line. The
distance is $50 miles from Mexico
across themountains to Acapulco, on the
Pacific, 1T is some 800 miles, and the
roads is to be pushed forward till the line
is completed from sea to sea. Within
few years, in all probability, line will
be completed from the capital northward
to the Rio Grande, connecting with
line now building from the Rio Grande
to Denver, in Colorado, thus giving
a continuous line Of railway connections
between the City of Mexico and the city
of New York. Gen Rosecrans is push
ing his project for line between Cali
fornia and the City of Mexico, and
doubtless will succeed in it. BY this
line, when completed, with others now
in course of construction on the Pacific
slope, traveller will be able to go from
New York by rail, via Texas, to the
Mexican Capital, and thence northward
by rail to San Francisco, and thence to
Oregon, sand thence by our Northern
Pacific road, back to New York again.

SUICIDE. Mr.. Harris Kendall, re-
spectacle citizen, about forty years of
age, shot himself at Felchville, VT, on
Friday, January 3. Some months ago
his wife died, leaving him childless and
alone Since her death lie has been
melancholy and frequently has said he
wished he was with her in the graveyard.
Mr.. Kendall borrowed the pistol that
morning, saying he would like to buy it.
Ioadingit he at first fired it, and reload
inc it went into the street, where neigh
Dor was shoveling snow from the side
walk, made some remark about the
snow, put the revolver to his bosom,
fired, held the pistol above his head, told
who it belonged to, and said he had got
done with it, and sank down and died.
The ball entered just above his heart.
No cause is assigned for the fatal deed
except deranged mind from the death of
his wife

RIOT IN IRELAND.-A dispatch from
Belfast states that a serious riot occurred
Friday at Lurgan, market town in
Ulster county, between the constabulary
and a number of Orangemen. The police
interfered to prevent a parade, but were
resisted by the Orangemen, who refused
to dispense. A collision ensued between
the constabulary and the Orangemen,
and several of the leaders in the dis
turbance were arrested. Many blows
were exchanged, but it is not known
whether any one was dangerously in
iurod. The disturbance created tremcnd-
Gus excitement in town. The streets
were filled with excited crowds, and it
was only by the prompt, energetic action
of the authorities that a dangerous riot
was aycrtcd.

SANDWICH ISLANDS. Letters from the
Sandwich Islands, dated Honolulu, 10Th
ult., describing the situation after the
death of King Kamehameha, have been
received. The correspondent says that
the king, at the time of his death,
weighed 300 pounds. Chief Justice E.
II. Allen acts as Regent. The rightful
successor is William Lunalilo, but he is
an inveterate drinker and untitled for the
position. He is expecting to be made
king. The next person in rank to Will
liam is Pananti. 1t is rumored that Mrs.
c. R. Bishop, good woman and a lady
in the highest sense of the word, and be-
loved and respected by natives and
foreigners, was offered the throne on
Wednesday, but declined. Whether she
can be induced to change her mind, re-
mains to be seen. The natives seem to
think of William, but they would be
satisfied with Mrs. Bishop. There will
doubtless be tremendous talk in the
Legislature on the 8th, and hot words
win probably pass between the members.

MAINE FUR TRAnE-A Maine news

MAINE Fur TRADE.-A Maine news
paper gives a statement of the present
condition of the fur trade in that State,
from which it appears that the aggre-
gate number of furs taken this winter
compares favorably with that of former
years. Otter and bear skins are some
what scarce; showing that the vigor
with which these animals have been
hunted las materially reduced their num-
bers. On the other hand, sable, mink
and fox skins are brought to market in
larger quantities than they were last win
ter. That pleasant animal, the skunk,
is very abundant; and as he has been
Systematically let alone until lately,
when his skin first began to have mar
ket value, there is no danger of his i'm
mediate extinction. In time, however,
the fur bearing animals of Maine will
be killed off, and it is therefore worth
while to inquire whether they cannot be
dOmesticated and bred for the market.
Probably few persons would undertake
to dOmesticate the skunk, but the otter,
the mink and sable might be easily pre-
served, and thus breeding be make a
profitable business.
