\ letter from Rome says; One
must put in quarantine, for a few
days, some of the reports about the
dying condition OF the two leading
personages of the Vatican. Some
of the opposite party are so i'm
patient to have the Pope and car
dinal Antoinette, out of the way,
that they are frequently putting
a1oat exaggerated reports, to which,
we here, do not give much atten-
ton.
The official journal of Rome pub
fishes from time to time, q report of
the progress made in the sale ofcon-
fiscated ecclesiastical property, The
whole amount disposed offrom 1867,
when the law was passed, up to the
end of the present year, is repre-
scented by the sum of 465, O0O, 900
francs. The government has come
into possession OF somewhat more
than 800, 900, 900 from this source.
A correspondent who has been
taking a look at and about SANTANA
Bay, writes of the SANTANA Bay Co.
as follows:
"This company commenced by
building a hotel on the top of the
mountain, which in this climate /
would call inaccessible; it is half
finished, and that part is already
rotten by rain and sun. Little fur
.her down the mountain, a billiard
room, or rather a barn is half fin
ished, also gone to decay; still fur
ther down comes the Governors
house, and Prof. Howe's small
wooden shanty containing three
very small rooms, with a kitchen
attached, and to get up to this house
In this hot climate is a task that
none would seek for pleasure. 1
visited them and at every step
Lizards of all colors would
bounce . out of the grass
a. ' as in the houses. The
COMPANY solda all its old furniture in
the shape of desks and chairs, early
in June; the only thing they now
possess is a small steam launch GO
ing to decay, as no coal is there to
run it, and no trade. The SANTANA
Bay Company is absolutely defunct
aid forgotten there; it has left moth
ing behind it upon which to build a
N 'nument or a scrap of ground it
could call its own"
London papers received to-day

LyNCHBURG. Va, August II.

Information of a bold Jail break
ing at Pottsylvania Court House in
this State, has just been received
here. The following are the partic-
ulars:
Yesterday at noon, while the jailor
was carrying to the prisoners con-
fined in the Jail, their dinners, four
of them, headed by the murderer,
Joe Clark, made a desperate assault
upon him, seizingand choking him.
In the struggle the jailor was thrown
the banisters, and down the
stairway, bruising him considerably
although not dangerously. The
prisoners then succeeded in forcing
open the back door, making good
their escape. Immediate pursuit
was given. William Smith, charged
with forgery, who had escaped, was
recaptured. Clark and others are
still at large.

1t is stated on the authority of a
prominent postofIice official that
the contractors for furnishing postal
cards have never yet furnished a
card equal in the quality of the
paper to the requirements of the
contract. Notwithstanding that
the department takes no means to
enforce compliance with the con-
tract, which is for four years with
three to run; to allow the present
company to go on furnishing an in
ferior card is regarded as an injustice
to other companies who bid for the
contract. The subject will remain
in allegiance until the arrival of
of Postmaster General Jewell.
At the last session, congress Or
dereG the manufacture of a medal
of reward for the rescue of the Metis
and also one to be distributed to
persons employed at the l~ife-saving
stations who might hereafter risk
their lives in rendering service to
vessels and persons in danger of
shipwreck. The director of the
mint having charge of the construc-
ton of the medals has issued a cir
cular inviting artists to compete for
the designs for the same, and offer
inf 500 reward for each design ac-
cepted, the latest date at which such
designs can be submitted is the 18th
OF September.

A special from Helena, Arkansas,
TO the Appeal says the steamer
Trader was met to-day at o. X.
landing by a mob of armed negroes,
who informed Captain Smith that
he could take his boat to Austin but
he could not return. Captain Smith
deemed it most prudent to turn back
at once. 1t is reported from over
the liver that a fight occurred at
Austin this morning, and the ne
groes were repulsed. They have
sent a messenger to Cathoma coun-
ty, Miss, and this place, to get all
the recruits possible. 1t is also
stated that the negroes will attack
Austin tonight.
A special TO the Avalanche from

A
Booths theatre opened last night
under the management of Jarrett d
Palmer, late of Niblo's, and was
distinguished by a crowded attend
ancet to witness the new play "Belle
Lamar" written by Dion Boucci-
cault, for John Mccullough, of San
Francisco. The play is a national
one, selected by the author from a
scene in the late war at Period
Spring, in 1862, in the Shenandoah
Valley. The play is well mounted
and has a telling situation in each
act. The leading role is filled by
John Mccullough, whose imperson-
alton of the character is a careful
one. The Tribune says an actor
having none of John McCulIough's
genius, and but half his talent,
would act Colonel Bligh in an affec-
tive manner. Mr.. McCullOugh's
personation is powerful, brilliant,
tender, and full of fine intuitive
touches, but the part is not big
enough for the man.
The Herald says that in Colonel
Bligh, Mr.. Mccullough finds a role
suited at once to his temperament,
and his ASPIRATIONS after heriocism
and his presentation of character
was 1ull of manly dignity and
power. In his reading d marked
improvement was visible, and a
tendency to pitch his voice on the
highest key had almost completely
disappeared. Mr.. Boucicault was
four times called out, and Mr.. Nc
Cullough and Miss Randolph were
warmly welcomed and twice re-
called.

The session of the investigating
committee last evening was strictly
private, like all for meeting. Dis
trict Attorney Winslow in reply
to anxious enquiries by men,
bers of the press regarding Moul-
toms statement, said; "You will
have to await developments; it will
come in good time, when you can
all have them"
Moulton, Tilton and Butler were
together in Moultonls house yester-
daJ, but the purport of their inter-
view cannot be learned. 1t is said
that Butler is here in connection
with the Jayne Custom House suit,
in which three hundred thousand
dollars is involved, and in which
Moulton's firm, Woodruff, Robin
son & Co., r concerned. Beecher
was not examined by the CON-
mittee last evening.
The Eagle publishes..a letter from
George H. Beecher, in which he ex-
plains the circumstances connected
with Mrs. Hooker's alleged threat
of exposure against Henry Ward
Beecher. She was laboring under
violent mental excitement at the
time, and she threatened to invade
his pulpit. She did not pretend to
have any other evidence than the
statements of Woodruff, Stanton
and Anthony. She desired that
Beecher would place himself at the
head of the new women's move
ment, and she and the others would
uphold him. Beecher talked the
matter over with her and soothed
her considerably. He made no de
nial of her charges for the reason
that that would have involved an
explanation of matters which he
did not wish to confide to her.
Mr.. sherman, member of the
committee, stated this afternoon
that everything a-"--
Hesah-- -"gatory to
oDta.ned during the inves-
tigation had been published already,
but the committee retained all evil
dence favorable TO Beecher until
they made their report.

Ketcham's tin factory was dam
aged by fire this morning to the ex-

Moulton's statement will not be
given to the press to-day. District
attorney Winslcw, who, on behalf
of the investigation, has charge of
the statement, visited Moulton's
house this morning for the purpose
of comparing letters left with the
Committee. All members of the
Committee are very %reticent, and
refuse any information as to their
intention. The impression is that
Moulton's statement is being some
what modified before going to
