VARIOUS MATTERS.
The Postmaster-Generali informs the House
that the total amount paid to the Pacific rail
roads Tor the transportation of mails is ST.
156, 1873. The letter also gives a detailed
computation, showing the saving to the gov
eminent over the old overland stage system,
and pronounces the advantage IN time gained
incalculable.
The House committee on claims has voted to
lay on the table the petition of the MethodIs'
Episcopal Southern Book Concern for in noe
nifty for rent of and damage to their ullaiiiSs

$500, 200 and is pressed by some OF Tue stronS-

CONFEDERATE QUARREL BREWING.
There is quite quarrel brewing here be-
tween the special personal adherents of Jeff
erson Davis and Jacob Thompson and Col.
Pickett, by whose aid the government Sc
cured certain archives, the latter being &C
cused, through Memphis and other papers.
OF OF behaving treacherously. Pickett and his
friends, knot Of ancient confederate officers
who always opposed Jefferson Davis, declare
that they will yet tell what became of the
Confederate gold which it is known disap-
peared in the last ditch. The assertion is
made, and not in low tones, that Jefferson
Davis received for private use large amount
and that Thompson appropriate d much
more.
APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE LIFE-SAVING
AND REVENUE MARINE SERVICES.
The House committee on appropriations
to-day agreed to report $120,250 for the
maintenance of life-saving stations along the
coasts Of Cape Cod, Long Island and New
Jersey, and it is quite probable that, so eff
Gent and essential has the lite-saving service
proved, fifty thousand dollors may be added
to this amount before the bill is finally report
ed. For the revenue cutter service 81 ,025, 900
over fifty thousand dollars less than for the
current year, was allowed and for the ma
rine hospital establishment 100000, or twen-
ty-five thousand dollars less than the amount
in the similar bill last wear

The testimony of Mr. johnson, Mr.. Gree
leys lifelong friend, in the matter OF the
contested wills, indicates that the great edltor
was not in his right mind long time before
the Presidential election, and at intervals was
50 wild as to create immediate alarm among
his. friends He seemed to be overpowered
with fine idea that he was financially ruined.
and that his children were beggared through
his indiscretion. He often said that his family
should send him to the penitentiary for souan-
dering his wife's money On this subject he
was almost a monomaniac for nearly two
mohths previous to his death, while at times
he had vagaries as wild as those of the most
confirmed lunatic. These remarkable state
ments come out in connection with the con-
tested will, where the attempt is made to
secure to the second daughter fair distribu-
ton OF the property, which, it is claimed, the
latest will does not do. There is evidence to
show that the last will was not Mr.. Greeley's
composition, but was written at the dictation
OF some other person after he became insane.

A New Departure in Medicine,

1t is difficult to induce the medical profession to
abandon the cd grooves in which it has travelled for
centuries. Purgation, venesectcn, opiumization and
bsteration are its team of venerable hobbies and it
does not like to harness up the four-m-hand of
invgoration, regulation, publication and renovation
and take new departure. Advanced practitioners
however, who are not welded to old dogmas, admit
speak, a counter charm TO the malign influences
that produce various disc sed conditions They do
complaints and in all disturbances Of tie liver the
bowels, and the digest We organs, this powerful and
wholesome vegetable remedy effects extraordinary
The public rendered this verdict MANY wears
ago, and the enlightned members of the profession
acquiese in it. Better late than never.

How terribly shaken must have been the
filth of the believer in the predictions of the
stOld Farmers Almanack," who read in that
venerable work before he went to bed Wednes-
day night, that on Thursday morning he
might look for Grain and sleet," when he
arose expecting second January thaw' to
find the thermometer in the lowest spirited
condition for the season. At Lewiston the
mercury fell to 80 degrees below zero; in
Brunswick, 80 degrees; in Pennington, 10
d'grees; in skowhegan, So degrees; in Lam
CASTER N. H., AZ below; in Albany, N. T., Ii
below; IN Newburgh, N. Y, 80 degrees be-
low, and all over the country ranging from 4
to 40 degrees below zero. The ssOld Farmers
Amanack' as weather prophet has played
out, now that Gen. Myers and "probs,, are
clerks of the elements.

Hon. JOHN j. INGALLS,, the newly elected
Senator from Kansas in place of Mr.. Pome-
roy, is native of Haverhill, Mass. The
Senator was educated at the public schools in
Haverhill, Mass, and graduated at Williams
College. He settled in Atchison fifteen years
ago. where he has practiced law, obtaining
by his industry and talents high reputation
as counsellor, and winning a popularity by
his social qualities and integrity of character
that has resulted in his election to the United
States Senate. He held for a short time the
position of Secretary of State, but he has not
been in one sense a politician, though he has
taken an interest in the political affairs of tho
times, and is every way qualified to fill the
position. The new Senator is about thirty
nine years of age.

Luxe r, Poland, Chairman Of the Committee on
Credit Nobilier:
DEAR SIR:-Please find enclosed my check
on Jay Cooke & Co., bankers of this city, dat
ed Jan. 25th, 1873, to your order for $500. 1t
is certified by the house on which it is drawn,
and is for the amount of the balance of loan
from Hon. Cakes Ames to me, but which, on
grounds made known to you in the course of
the investigation before your Committee, he
has been pleased to disclaim. 1t does not be-
long to me, nor do the 10 shares of stock in
the Credit Mobiler of America, the power to
transfer which to me he executed in the pres
ence of your Committee on Friday last, when
at my request he was about to deposit it with
you, nor do any of the dividends thereon. But
inasmuch as he disclaims all ownership therein
and declares that they belong to me, beg you
to transfer said check and certificate of stock
and all dividends now due OF that may be de-
clared thereon to the United States, to whom, in
the light of recent revelations, believe all said
property belongs. Permit me further to re-
quest you to embody this note in the record of
the proceedings of your Committee.

WE have received letter from Mr.. D., w.
Durham, of Bangor, in which he gives his
account of the meeting of the Board of Agri-
culture at Winthrop, and states that our cor
respondent knew nothing about the matter !;
yet the only point of difference between his
account and that of our correspondent is that
the latter says that Mr.. Goodale was declared
elected Secretary by reclamation before adj
journment at noon the first day, while Mr..
d. makes no reference to that point Mr..
Durham informs us that there are only
twenty-five members of the Board, but if he
will look at page 402 OF the Maine Register for
1872, he will find that the membership is
really twenty-five, as we stated He says there
we,e seventeen members present, but admits
that only fourteen voted. We fear that Mr..
Durham is afflicted with Wisconsin; for he
cannot see why the election of officers could
be postponed until more of the members ar
rived, because Messrs. WATSON and Percival
had to go to Augusta to attend the meeting
of the State Agricultural Society to relate
how grand success its exhibition at Bangor
