statue to Mr.. Greeley's memory. They need
s4O, 900, and will take no action until that sum
is raised. Contributions Of any amount are
solicited The English steamship Himalaya
has not been heard from. She left England
for Halifax ON the I'd Of January. and had on
board about 800 soldiers of various English
regiments.
An absurd rumor was te~legraphed over the
country, a few days ago, that President Grant
had been assassinated. 1t is scarcely neees-
sary to say hat there was not even the shadow
of foundation for the report....A Havana
letter says the conviction has come over all
that slavery. in its present form, will be abol-
ished, and not a single step has beer taken TO
secure any other system. The following
criminals are under sentence of death Foster,
the New York car-hook murderer, to be hung
March 7; Charles A. Russell, for the murder of
James Crafty, to be hung at San Francisco,
March 81; John r. johnson, of New Haven,
to be hung for the murder of Johanna Hess.
"a. b. Stockwell, President of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company and the SANTANA Bay
Company, has been elected President Of the
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company. THE
Dowager Empress of Brazil is dead. Com
petition between the three trunk lines from
Cincinnati to the East has resulted in reducing
the fare from there to New York to S15 and
| return.

will case, the other day, indicates that Mr..
Greeley was insane even before the election.
.... Recent deaths: Robert B. Cranston, an ex-
Congressman from Rhode Island: D. W. Nor
ris, late member of Congress from the Third

The highest rate for Geographic dispatches
from any two points in the United States is
hereafter to be 81 so for ten words, instead of
So, as Mt present. This regulation ap-
plies mainly to the Atlantic and Pacific cities.
The rates between Western cities and Califor-
mia have been reduced, but not in the same
proportion :. i. Tit last rail on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad has been laid, thus COM
pleting the line between Huntington, W. Va,
on the Ohio river, and the seaboard. The
competition between the three run railroad
lines, selling tickets between Cincinnati and
New FORK and return, has ended by a compro-
mise. whereby all resume the regular rates.
Tickets for the round trip to New York sold as
low as 20 before the compromise was effected.
. The Atlantic Steamship Mail Company
(Havana to New York; has collapsed, and its
steamers and other effects are to be sold under
the hammer. Epitaph: Died from competition.
