PETER COOPER. of New York, says
"Sincc have lived in the upper part OF
the city Ina the offer of eighteen acres
of land bounded by Fifth avenue. Twenty
FIRST street and Eighth avenue, for eleven
thousand dollars-lnnd tina. would have

lions Of dollars"
Col. john w Fo2NEY, now In Eu-
rope, writes letter to the Ph'a ie!p!lla
Press, ana!yziny the causes Of the Repub-
lican rcverses in the late October and
November election. Colonel T. attributes
the results mainly to the panic and tho
continued financial depression, and re,
commends as the remedy more national
currency and the Inauguration by Congress
during the coming session Of cOmprchen.
s.No works Of pubic improvement. ~
Tie St. Louis Times estimates tina, there
are twenty-five Thousand people out of
employment in that city who are COM
petcnt, and would work if they had the
chance. The Times says: This number
includes men Of culture and refinement as
well as the laborer and Ne artisan; men
accustomed to every variety and character
OF employment, and who are willing 10
work for even pittance, SO it gives them
bread"
TIE Chicago papers state that fully
$1,000, OOOcf currency have been sent from
that point into the hog and corn raising
dist-ic's Of Northern Illinois and South
Urn Iowa within the last two weeks:
which, with what has been sent from
other points, cannot fail to make money
very abundant in those sections of the
country. The banks, too, notwithstand-
ing this drain, are in ample funds, having
$ll 900, 900 more IN deposit than at any !
time since the panic. Hogs and grain are |
pouring into the city in unprecedented |
quantities, and the general business OUT
look is very encouraging.
TIE controversy between Omaha and |
Council Bluffs as TO which shall be rccoy-
niZed as the eastern terminus Of the Union |
Pacific railroad is likely to he rcc5mmcn>
ccd in Congress next week by the attempt
Cd passage Of Mr.. Laughlon's bill de-
claring the Omaha bridge part Of the
line OF the road. AS the inconvenience
caused by delays in transferring freight
ard passengers at the bridge is consilcra.
bic, some such measure may be necessary.
Hut it is in the power Of the company, by
o:hcr means, to remove this objection 10
the present terminus. md if it desires to
remain at Omaha il will have to take steps
1t once in tia. direction.
