Venerable Poland would like to wind up his In

has recovered another "piece'' Of his scattered
memory. He has more documents to prove the
claims OF Senator Patterson to martyrdom. And

show that there is still good amount to be &C.

and Afterwards an engineer OF the Pacific Railroad
Committee as witness. His testimony is con.
sidered important. This committee may, in con-

The Assassination Hoax in Washington.
The greatest hoax OF the day, next to the one
connected with Credit Mobilier memory was that
started from Washington yesterday to the effect
that the President had met with dreadful acc-
dent or had been assassinated. The inquiring
messages sent 10 this point yesterday afternoon
and evening were heard by telegraph operators
along the whole line rom Maine to California. and
the anxiety OF people in inland towns where the
story was repeated TO learn the facts, was unpre-
cedented. The rules OF the companies were disre-
garded, operators breaking In on business TO ask
II II was true. The contradiction has not vet
reached some parts, Judging from the inquiries
still made. At Cincinnati. Columbus and other
western cities the report bullet tined by some
telegraph companies.
